is plenty OF work attached to the oc-
cupation, for the laggard is frowned
upon and quietly told to depart by
the growers. 1t is necessary to pick
the crop as quickly as possible and
house ii safely before the fall rains
commence. At 81 box an ordinary
picker can gather one box in a short
day; good one averages two boxes,
and one of the cracks will make as
high as three boxes. To do this re.
quires the closest application to du-
ties, however, a short MONDAY lunch
and an early start and late stop. The
usual crowd of pickers are satisfied
TO average one box per day.
At many of the places the growers
have built rows of little frame houses
for the pickers. Others live in tents,
and there is always the privilege of
using all the vegetables and fruit
that are required from the adjacent
gardens and orchards. Wagons from
the stores in town make the trip
every day to the yards, and fresh
meats and delicacies are always OBJ
tainable.

that she is happy in ones presence.
Her smile tells that she is glad to

ARMY OF TEN THOUSAND
PICKING HOPS

Hop picking commences this week
in the fields of the Puyallup and
Yakima valleys. II is estimated that
at least 10000 persons will be en-
gagged in this occupation during the
next three weeks. and as an average
of one box day is very reasonable
1t is figured that the growers will
pay $4,000 for the picking alone.
Drying is another large item, that
includes the cost of hauling, and this
will probably represent $4,000, or
a total of $230,000 for gathering
the entire crop. The price paid for
picking is 81 a box.
Pickers Go In Parties.
The big majority of the pickers
have gone out to the fields in par
ties, many families leaving together.
In other cases a number of the
young folks will be under the
espionage and care of some one fam
lily. and these parties camp and oc-
cupy contiguous quarters at the
yards during the entire picking sea-
son.
One feature of this seasons pick
ing will be the decreased number
Of Indian pickers, who always form
large part of the force employed
during the picking season. However,
this year it is claimed that there
will be less than half the number
Of Siwashes out in the yards that
there were last season The Indians
make good pickers, and generally go
In crowd, living in a section of the
grounds isolated from the white pick

fields are hired under contract, and
some of those that will be working In
the valley yards have come from as
far as the north end of Vancouver
island and the Fraser river country.

campments there are dances, cere-
monies and fetes that are strikingly
unique and odd. Neither is the So
cial side of life in a hop yard over
looked, and there are two or three
dances each week i'm the big hop
houses. Every night there are camp
fires, around which the pickers
gather and pass the time by telling
stories, singing. or playing on mu-
steal instruments Frequently these
entertainments are of high class,
for there are many real artists in
the musical line who can be found
among the crowds of pickers.
Crop Is a Good One.
The hop crop this year is in ex-
cellent shape, and picking will be a
comparatively easy task. The vines
are fairly well filled out, and there
is almost an entire absence of any
hop lice or rust, which will make the
task a clean one. Directly contiguous
to Puyallup it is claimed that the
vines show a shTinkage of about 200
pounds an acre from last season 5
yeild, but the cleaner quality of the
crop is an offset to this loss. In
other places there is an increased
yield reported, and it is estimated
that the state as a whole will show
an increase of about 5000 bales in
the total yield.
THE state of Washington will
produce, 1t is expected, Al 500 bales
of hops this year. This is an increase
of 5000 bales over last years yield.
The burr has developed very fully
and there is less foliage than in 1903.
Outside of this state, the coast will
show a reduced yield, Oregon not
going more than $4,000 bales, and
California being put down for $4,000
bales.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April T.
The census bureau today issued a bull

exclusive of Alaska and the insular

COWHERD TAKES
PLACE OF GRIGGS
Democratic CongressiOnaICOm
mittee Elects Chairman, but
DlsagreeS on Secretary.

WASHINGTON, d. O., April T.
Representative w. S. Cowherd, of Mis-
souri,, tonight was elected chairman Of
the Democratic congressional commit
tee without opposition. About thirty
members of the congressional commit
tee were present in the minority room
at the capitol. Mr.. Cowherd was not
present.
Representative Griggs, of Georgia,
the retiring chairman of the commit
tee, presided. Mr.. Cowherd was placed
in nomination by Representative Ran
dali, of Texas, and the vote was taken
without speeches or debate.
The election of a secretary of the
committee, however, was not so easily
disposed of. The present secretary,
Charles A. Edwards, was placed in
nomination by Representative Kehoe,
of Kentucky, and seconded by Repre-
sentative Bowers, of Mississippi, act
ing for Representative Williams, the
minority leader, who was late in ar
irving.
Opposition to Secretary Edwards de-
veloped. Representative Dinsmore, of
Arkansas, moved that the newly elect
ed chairman be authorized to appoint
a secretary to the committee. Repre-
sentative Thayer, of Massachusetts,
indOrsed this motion. 1t was mention
ed that Secretary Edwards had some
connection with. the Hearst propa-
ganda for the presidency. The friends
of Mr.. Edwards answered by. stating
that this fact ought not to influence
the vote either way, as he maintained
this connection entirely outside of his
official duties with the committee.
The committee adjourned at II
o'clock without electing a secretary
Many speeches were made on the sub
ject and no other nomination was
made for the office. Senator Carmack,
of Tennessee, and Representative
Ransdell, of Louisiana, made speeches
against the election of Edwards. The
adjournment was voted for by the
friends of Edwards. The absence of
Mr.. Cowherd was given as a reason
for postponing action as to the election
of a secretary. The next meeting will
be called by the new chairman.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 7.-The
Journal tomorrow wilr say: Kansas
City is to have two new union stations.
One will be built by the Burlington,
east of Grand avenue. on the river

street. The latter will be accessible by
the Belt line, which will be rebuilt on
a new and easy grade to the east.
Both stations will be palatial, and each
will have something like the same
number of roads running into it.
'9The Burlington has bought the Ar
mour and the Swift holdings on both
sides of the river, together with the
Winner bridge piers and franchises,
paying about $2,000.OOe. 4

Texas has over 100000 having pass
ed Missouri. But twenty-five states
now have less than 100000 inhab-
itants and fourteen exceed 100000.
The estimates are made in a bulletin
giving estimates of population in 1901,
1902 and 1908, for all cities Of 10000
inhabitants or more in the United
States. 1t shows that the number Of
incorporated places having a popula-
tion of 10000 inhabitants or more in
1900 is 4SS, with a total population of
24,044, ,347, while the estimated popula-
ton for 1903 is 25,S06,9S7 an increase
of l, 1,759,620. The same cities between
80 and 1900 increased over 80 per
cent. Part of the increase during the
three years is due to the inclusion of
suburbs. The estimated population in
1903 in cities of 10000 or more is dis
tributed as follows:
