CHINESE WILL
NOT PICK HOPS
Campers Are Invited to
Earn Wages While They
Are Seeking Pleasure.
New System Of Insuring Plenty
Of White Labor When
Needed.
Whole Families Will Live in the
Hop Fields During the Harvest
Season.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL. /
40S Broad WAY InIY "a {

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,
90S Broadway, July "a.
The hop-picking season will open at
Pleasanton in about three weeks, and as
usual there is posi- bility of there not
being sufficient help to gather in the crop
as fast as is desirable. Three years ago
the custom of employing Chinese to
gather the hops was discontinued at the
request of the ladies of the churches at
Pleasanton, who wished to try the expert
ment of supplying all the white labor
necessary. The new move was successful
and no Chinese have been EN- ployed since.
This year the hop-growers have sent out
a circular stating that there are two and a
hall times as many acres in bearing this
year as there were last, and that conse-
quently more hands will be needed and
for longer time. They are also willing
to pay 8S cents for 100 pounds, while last
year only 70 cents was paid. The in.
creased price is offered to induce white
labor to go to the hoptields that may have
to come from quite distance.
With the increased rate and the longer
picking period, the growers say that
families should be able to save quite a
neat little sum during the harvest. In
past years there has always been some
little trouble caused by Objectionable in
dividuals going to the field and trying to
create trouble among the picksrs.
George II. Davis, superintendent Of the
largest hop-growing district in this
county, is anxious to have none but
worthy and industrious parties at work
this year. "In the Eastern hop States
and English hop DISTRICTS he said, hop.
picking is considered summer outing
and holiday time. We are endeavoring
to encourage yearly like migrations from
the neighboring country. So as to be
assured that not too many will come, and
to have some guarantee as to their char
acter, we have opened registers, aud all
the pickers who have any intention to
pick hops can send in their names to the
merchants or to me.
'Of course it is necessary to tell US the
mum Der of sdults and children in each
family. Any body can register till the
10Th of August, by which date the grow
ers can tell positively when picking will
commence. There are good camping
grounds with wood and water Tree. Fam
| lies are advised to bring their own tents
and camping outfits. both for economy
and convenience. The hopy ards adjoin
the town of Pieasanlon, and are but little
m ore than a mile from the depot. The
| growers have organized free bus service
so that pickers and their children and
baggage VIII be carried free."

has grown verv rapidly in recent years
and the growers have been forced to en-

of help when it is needed Ii they are not

NEARLY DROVE
A WIDOW CRAZY
Malicious Work of an I'm

Away Many Things of
Value.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, |
LII


very malicious way of wreaking
vengeance on an elderly widow has de-
veloped in East Oakland. Mrs. j. Gun
ther, living on e eventh avenue, recently
lost many valua bles and was very nearly
bereft OF her reason because of some ma
licious persons action.
Mrs. Gunther lives with her two sons,
whom she supports by going out workin g
by the day. Last Tuesday she went ont
as usual, ana on her return discovered
that the glass panel in the rear door of
the house had been taken out during her
absence and burglar had been in the
rooms and made a selection OF all that
was most bile in the way of trinkets
and little pieces OF jewelry. She reported
the matter 10 the police, but the cuIprit
has not been found.
Yesterday afternoon when she came
home she found a little note pinned to the
front door. 1t read as follows:
Dear Mother: When you receive this
| shall be no more. | have gone down to
The bay TO drown my elf. | am tired OF
living, so do not grieve for me, as l will
be better off. Good-by, dearest mother.
Your loving son, WILLIE
When Mrs. Gunther read the note she
went into Mysteries and for hours some
friends who were attracted bv her screams
were occupied in trying to calm her. Her
violent grief was pitiful ana it was
thought that her reason was permanently
dethroned.
Another party of friends went out to
inquire for the missing boy. They ap-
piled at the morgue and police station
and along the wharves, but found no
trace of Willie. Late in the evening the
lad, who was entirely innocent OF the
| trouble at home, was found playing at
baseball on vacant lot not far from his
| home.
Mrs. Gunther has not the remotest idea
as to the identity of the person who is
trying to cause ner so much unhappi-
ness, and the police officers in East Oak
land are as yet unable to throw any light
on the matter.
Last year Mrs. Gunt;er had some deal
ings regarding gold mine with Mr..
Keefer, who mysteriously disappeared
from The Baldwin Hotel, and who has
not since been heard from. She declare d
that Keefer led her into a deal which
ruined her financially as well as several
other women in this city who dealt in
stocks.

AN INDIAN NEW WOMAN.
How She Was Dressed-Her Hus band Js
Worth S25O,OOO.

The newest of new women, and yet one
of the oldest, if the aborigines may be
classed as "od," was yesterday seen on
the streets of st. Louis, says the ST. Louis
Glope-Democrat She was a splendid
specimen of womanhood. strikingly hand
some and superbly proportioned, and was
dressed in bloomers. although they diff
fered in style and cut from any worn by
the St. Louis bicycle girls. She was an
Indian woman, the full-blooded daughter
of chief of the Sioux tribe, one OF the
fiercest and most bloodthirs'y bands
which ever troubled the settlers of the
West, and her dress was one of the most
peculiar ever seen on the streets of a great
city. A dark hat of modern style half
hid quantity of raven black hair on her
splendid head and long ulster OF the
most recent fashion enveloped her. out
lining her fine figure to advantage. But

the most remarkable part of her dress,
and tuat which attracted the most atten.
tion-her boomers.
They were cut long and raight, like
mems trousers, and were small at the bot
tom, so that they were rather close about
the ankles. THESE boomers were OF black
silk, and the inner and outer seams were
decorated with four or five rows of beads
OF various coIors and worked in fancilul
designs. Flowers, SNAKES and animals
ran up and down the side and made the
oloomers, or trousers, thing to attract
attention anywhere. and especially on so
handsome a woman. Her complexion
was olive, like that of q Spanish girl. and
clear; her cheeks were rosy and her voice
low. but her eyes were dark and piercing
and seemed TO look through one. But
with all her fanciful dress and her name
vi ralaconqua she is the wife OF one OF the
richest merchants of the greaS Southwest,
and is on her way to Europe, where she
Will doubtless be received by royalty.
In direct contrast to this woman was
one OF her companions. Taller than she,
with hair as light as hers was dark and
light blue eyes, his ruddy, sunburnt face
was partially shaded by the broad
brimmed som brero, which was tipped to
one side on his head. As he walked there
was swing to his gait that told OF the
easy gallop of the mustang, and every
thing in h is manner bespoke the COW boy.
HIS shirt, which was of expensive ma
terial, was made negligee fashion and cut
low at the neck, showing powerful neck
tanned by the exposure of many suns on
the plain. His clothes, too, were oil ex-
pensive material, but the cut was a trfe
odd. Still, they gave one the impression
that they were paid for, and that the mar
who wore them had his own opinion as to
how clothes should be made for him, as
he was the m an to wear them. He walked
along, frequently squirting stream OF
tobacco JUICE through his white teeth, and
stroking mis- long blonde mustache. The
man, Samuel Brennan, is worth $3.50, 600,
and s one OF the most successful mer-
chants IN Texas.
Between this strangely assorted pair
walked youngster about years old, and
his dress was as stylish as that of his
companions was unconventional. A
leather Tam O Shanter was placed
jauntily on one side of his crown of golden
curls and he wore a velvet coat of Faunt-
leroy pattern. His little feet were incased
in swell patent-leather boots, and above
them, extending nearly to the hip, were
leather leggings. These were decorated
somewhat after the manner of the
bloomers which the woman beside him
| wore, but were not 80 noticeable because
Of the decoration, as there were only two
rows of beads and they were dark in color.
The little fellow carried q cane, which be
swung to and fro like a FIfth-avenue
dude, and yet the Indian woman is his
mother, and he is the heir to $3.50. 600 and
is going abroad to enjoy the advantages oi

600 square miles; with Alaska it is
8 602,9 800 square miles, equal to the area
of all Europe, with Italy and Turkey ex-

on The Greatest Nation on Earth" in

twelve times the size of Rhode Island.
Texas might invite every man, woman

individual a plat Of ground forty nine

State would not be really crowded, for
each individual would have four times
the space taken by each person in New

Wales, Italy and Portugal could be
transpIanted to Texas and there would
still be room for a good-sized promenade
where curious Americans could walk

of the cattle ranches of Texas cover as
much territory as the Sandwich Islands,
