to custom, two livery stable carriages,

vey all the couples to and from the ho-

Everything in life Is relative, and to
young people who often went to even
less pretentious entertainments this
affair was rather impressive In its ele-
gance Lamps shone everywhere, and
punches of candles blazed and sput-
tered in hooks hung about with ever
greens. The girls were becomingly at
tired in light evening gowns, and many
of them were good looking, refined and
graceful. All were soft spoken and
easy in their manners and either wore
or carried flowers. The evening suits
of the young men were well in evil
dence and more noticeable to the wear
ers themselves than they would have
been to a spectator used to convention
al style of dress. They could be seen
in all stages of inadaptability to fig
ures too large or too small, and even
after the dance began there were sew
eral swaps and a due amount Of con-
graduation on the improvement from
the appreciative fair sex. The young
lady accompanying each young man
had pinned a small bouquet ON his
lapel, so that it would have been i'm
possible to tell whether a man had a
natural taste for flowers or was the
willing victim to a taste higher than
his own.
Rayburn Miller and Alan sat smok-
ing and talking in the room of the
latter till half past o'clock, and then
they went down. AS general rule
young men were expected to escort
ladies to dances when the young men
went at all, but Alan was often ex-
cused from SO doing on account of liv-
ing in the country, and Miller had
broken down every precedent in that
respect and never invited girl to go
with him. He atoned for this short
coming by contributing most literally
to every entertainment given by the
young people, even when he was out
of town, He used to say he liked to
Craze and nibble at such things and

cisco, August 80, 1901. The transfer in
volved in coin and stock $ll2 10000 and
was paid by a party of business men for
a specific for Bright's Disease and Dia-
betes, hitherto incurable diseases.
They commenced the serious investi-
cation of the specific Nov. 10, 1900.
They interviewed scores OF the cured
and tried it out on it's merits by putting
over three dozen cases on the treatment
and watching them. They also got ply
sicians to name chronic, incurable cases,
and administered it with the physicians
for judges. Up to Aug. %. eighty-seyen
per cent of the test cases were either
well or progressing favorably.
There being but thirteen per cent Of
failures, the parties were satisfied and
closed the transaction. The proceedings
of the investigating committee and the
clinical reports of the test cases were
published and will be mailed free on ap-

Trade extended this time 80 days
in order to give each subscriber a
chance to arrange for meeting his
obligation. All the heavy sub
scribers have paid, and many OF
the smaller ones have taken up
their contracts, and those who are
in arrears should lose no time in
doing likewise. The obligation is
an honest one, and should be
promptly met. The committee

sidy in charge are all busy men,
and have but little time to devote

pect them to leave their work at

collect money that should be paid
voluntarily by those who sub
scribed it. Mr.. Gerlinger has done
much for Dallas, and is in posi-

According to reports received
from correspondents throughout the
Valley, Oregon will produce about
$4,000 bales of hops this year, if
conditions in the yard remain as
they now are until picking time,
says Mondays Oregonian. This
estimate is based on the approx
mate yield of last year. 1t is a
well-known fact that accurate
figures on the size of the crop can
not be given until the hops are
baled, and even then, it is difficult
to gather the statistics, as no one,
aside from one or two dealers, makes
business Of collecting returns. In
round numbers, the yield of the
past year is figured at $4,000 bales.
Conservative men in the trade
have estimated that Oregon this
year will produce IS per cent of
last years crop. Some growers
have figured that the yield will not
be over 60 per cent of that Of 1902,
others place their guess as high as
75 per cent.
