and son, Joe Roberts and sister. aud
Mr.. Meyer and family started last
Thursday for the Promised Land Of

not be satisfied until he bathed in the
Pacific. About now he is taking his
promised bath. A long way between
two baths.
Mrs. Dan Smith has been very sick

The hop "gold bugs" have met and
cut down the wages Of hop pickers, 20
per cent, notwithstanding that 1t
was hard work to make wages at the
old rate. 1t will be in order for the hop
pickers to call a meeting and demand
an advance of 20 per cent over last
years. prices. One would be as just as
the other. 1t was not a question of
how much we can afford TO pay, hut
how much of squeeze will the picker
stand. 1t is the same old principle
handed down-everyon taking ad.
vantage of those under him. The hop
man seems TO figure that there are two
sides to every question. Let the hop
pickers hold meeting and see if there
is but one side to this question. The hop
men must change their tactics or many

pickers this fall.

Rev. Lister, of Silverton, preached at
Aumsville Sunday. The good people

he likes our good people there will be
no trouble about an engagement.

fisherman and started for the noun
tains on fishing excursion. The fish
were willing to be caught, for 800 Of

to Ed and John. They fished, cooked
aud did eat the 900 fish and returned
home. We know this IL 80 for we have
their word for it, and who ever heard

FROM MACLEAY.
On Saturday about forty Christian
science students assembled At the hos
pitable farm home of Mrs. J. b. Waldo
near Macleay. The attendance was
mainly from Salem. Miss Aldrich of
Portland was detained at the city but
