! Reports from the hop fields indicate
that the picking season will be very
short this year, owing to the great num-
ber of pickers in the yards. The prom
ise of higher prices for picking has been
the means of inducing great number
of people to go to the yards this year.

There is, Of course, no computing how
many millions of money or how many
hundreds of lives have been wasted and
sacrificed by this incompetent secretary
of war. 1t is certain that there is but
one opinion about him among those
officers of the United States army who
/ are not among his favorites, and that is
that he is the worst secretary of war
within memory.-New York Times.
Mr.. Thos. Jones, of Corvallis, and
Miss Della Bohanon, formerly of va
quina, were united in marriage last
week. Mr. Jones is brother of B. F.
Jones, of this place, and is well known
here and at Yaquina. The bride resid-
ed for several years at Yaquina, at
which place she was well and popularity
known. After the honeymoon the
young people will make their home in
Corvallis.
School begins at Toledo next Monday.
The attendance for time will probably
be light owing to the absence of so many
OF the children picking hops. However
e. when they all get home the attendance
will probably run up to 12O in all the
rooms. The prospect for splendid
school in Toledo this yearis good. Prof.
Holm, the principal, is reputed to be
one OF the best teachers and foremost
educators of the state. Miss Julia
Taylor, the intermediate teacher, is a
teacher OF experience, having been en-
gagged in teaching in Linn and Benton
counties. Her work has been highly
spoken of wherever she has taught.
The primary teacher, Miss Collision.
comes highly recommended by the state
superintendent. The employment OF
three teachers will relieve the crowded
condition of the school, and will Justify
the board in setting tuition fee and
allowing pupils outside of the district to
attend. No doubt there will be many
who will take advantage of this and
attend the Toledo schools this term.
The school will be graded, and will he
conducted upon the most advanced
educational plan.
