RODE
WITH
SNAKE

Councilman j. p. Sharkey has no
love for rattle snakes. He had an
experience with one last Friday which
he says he will never forget says the
Portland Journal. Every time he re.
fers to the incident he imagines he
can see the reptile sticking its black
forked tongue at him and striking
with all its might to reach him with
its deadly fangs.
Mr.. Sharkey was on a visit to the
mining regions surrounding Grants
Pass and was driving through the
Illinois fats in his buggy from Moro
to Grants Pass. Suddenly he was
startled to have his horse shy sud
denly and the next instant long dark
object was thrown from the front
wheel of the buggy and lodged on the
cross bars of the shafts. In a moment
Mr.. Shafkey saw that It was a mon.
ster rattle snake that had become
caught in the wheel and had been
carried over and thrown upon the
cross bar around which It quickly
cofed Itself. 1t mad evidently been
lying in the road and in attempting
to get out of the way of the buggy had
become caught In the wheel.
The snake was mad and tried to
reach the legs of the horse 1t was
striking vlciously and Mr.. Sharkey
pulled up the animal, when by this
time was badly frightened, and at
to strike the snake with the
butt of his whip.
Suddenly 1t took different position
and instead of striking at the horse,
1t swung its head toward It's aggres
sor and buried its fangs in the whip
stalk but few inches from his hand |
Mr.. Sharkey drew back suddenly anj
the snake was jerked from its posi-
ton on the cross bar and dropped
beneath the buggy
Mr. Sharkey then descended and |

three and half feet long, and was al |

Believes That Hops Will. Not
Be a High as Last
Year

j. W. Seavy, of the well-known firm
of Seavy Brothers, extensive hop
raisers, having over 100 acres in the
Mckenzie bottom. six miles north
east of Eugene gave the Eugene
Guard some information regarding
the price of hops this year and the
condition of the crop.
Mr.. Seavy is one of t1e best posted
hopmen on the Coast, and his predic-
tions are usually correct. He said
that the price of hops this year would
not reach the figures that is did last
year, because reports from Germany.
England, New York and all parts of
the Pacific Coast indicated good crops
which would keep the price down.
He did not think that the 25 cent
mark would be reached at all, wher.
as last year great many sales were
made at that figure ami many higher
than that.

trip through the valley and says that

of the school year. At the time there was

students to Lexington park where the Eastsiders
will meet the St. Paul Central team, the cham
pions of st. Paul.
All thru the week the two home teams have
been lining up against each other Central
field and the practice has brought out the strong
points Of both teams, East high improving on
defense and Central brushing up on ofense The
combination of coaches has produced several
new plays, which ought to be consistent ground

running the plays off fast. Green has been used
at quarter at Central and has put ginger into
