An Industrial Agent Here.

The DEMOCRAT acknowledges pleas.
ant call from Emory Z. Smith. Undue.
trial Agent of the Southern Pacific with
headQ quarters at Portland, and Mr.. w.
A. Shaw, business man OF Portland.
They had been doing our county in order
to ascertain the needs of our people here,
80 that the road might in every way pos
sible aid them in the industries OF the
county. The mission is q commenda bic
one and 1t is to be hoped results in bus
lness for our people as we'll as for the
Southern Pacific. The DRMocRAr man
upon being asked suggested that we
needed rates that would give us market
for our products. 1t was also suggested
that the Southern Pacific use the efforts
to advertise this country that it has the
Shasta country, and that the trains be
run so that travellers on the overlands be
abe to see this valley by daylight in.
stead Of as heretofore by night, or rather
not all. This was easily explained by
the statement that the trains needed to
go over the Siskiyous in the day time,
which is undoubtedly fact. Mr.. Smith
intends visiting Albany again TO meet
our citizens in general conference.
There is an excellent field for mutai BEN
eft, and il is q tact that railroads and
people should get closer together in their
interests with respect for ea:h othsrs
rights.

From Engineer Kitchen.

Frank Kitchen, of this city, in letter
dated Sept. 2, at Honolulu, II. l. writes
W. NJ. Parker, and among other things
says:
These islands are the loyeliest place
! ever set my eyes on. Everything is as
green as it can be. The weather is very
hot but can stand it, and we have .ove-
days. have been up a few cocoanut
trees and they are as slick as glass to
coon. The nuts are fine when you get
them right off the tree. Have also been
around the pine apple plantations, in
TACT get all the fruit can eat, and it
don't cost me cent. and George
Howell go every night and get all we
want. We call it grating, but not from
the natives. They are the best people
ever run across, and will give us any
thing they have. There is more fun at
hulu huiu dance than you can get in q
life time.
Twas out on railroad fifty..miles from
here at sugar plantation. 1t was q
great sight.
The streets are very narrow, but they
are good, and three can walk abreast on
the sidewalk. The shade trees are lovely.
There are 8, 800 soldiers here now and
we look for some more from San Francis
co any day. We have buried one SOL
dier out of our company and another
had a sunstroke.
Have only got one black mark, that
was for fighting, but will have another
go at the man outside of the lines.
There is not a white restaurant in
town.
We are camped along side the beach.
The water is black with the native boys
in swimming every day, diving after
nickels.
Whiskey is 25 cents drink and beer
bit. The natives have a drink called
swipes, one that will knock a man.
There are moonshiners near here who

For the DENoc RAT.

For the DEMoc RAT.
Ye stars and stripes that proudly wave
Above q nation strong and brave
OF heaven and of freedom born
You brought to man q brighter morn.
The noble banner of the free
You call the world to liberty
The honored friend of rich and poor
A welcome guest at every door.
You looked upon the noble band
Who pledged their lives TO free our land
You stood beside great Washington
Whose army independence won.
You marched with Scott to Mexico
And Taylor when he met the foe
You stood on every battlefield
Your country's honor and its shield.
You biest the armies OF the north
When Grant and Sherman led them
forth
And Lincoln with them boldly broke
From human necks the hated yoke.
We then beheld our land again
Beneath your folds in peace remain

With freedoms sacred boo nwere blest.

And Farragut and Foote you knew.

And Hobson brave in battle cloud.
You have led on the deadly strife
When foes assailed your country's life,
You have rejoiced with yonder sun
o'er every victory freedom won.
Great banner long our nations pride
Stay thou and freedom side by side,
And may your stars forever be
The guardians OF liberty.

The Crops.

The harvest season is rapidly passing
by. Hop picking continues. The
weather is very favorable for work in the
hop yards. The hops are reported TO be
cleaner and better than for several years.
The missing hills, reported in the early
summer. will have little effect upon the
the total product. for, the weather hav-
ing unusually favorable, the vines made
good growth and the hops are cleaner.
50 that better product has reculted. In
some Of the larger yards picking Is near
ly completed. Bailing Of hay continues
the bulk of the hay crop ia well secured.
Prunes are now rapidly dropping from
the trees, and drying is in full operation
in all orchards. The prune crop is larg-
er than usual; there are not enough dry
ers 10 handle the. crop. Small lots OF
wheat and oats are yet TO be threshed-
The grain crop l.. however, practically

and the best creamery man in the state,
returned last evening from Astoria,
