The lecture delivered in the M. E..
church last Thursday evening by Dean
@. Dutton, of Fayette, was a disap-
pointment to the local camp of Modern
Woodmen. This lecture which they
had arranged for was to have been on
Woodcraft, but instead of speaking on
this subject he gave one of his regular
lectures for the benefit of the school for
which he works. Our people had
turned out in large numbers in hopes
of hearing a lecture on Woodcraft, but
with the exception of few words
regarding his being Woodman, and
the able introduction by Rev. Showers
you would not have been informed of
there being a Woodman in the world.
Whether Mr.. Dutton misunderstood the
subject upon which he was to lecture
we cannot say, but it would have been
better had he never given this lecture
which was so far from the subject aid
vertised. The lecture which he gave
was up to his usual high standard, but
the disguise under which it was given
will be remembered by Woodmen for a
good length of time.

A PATHETIC INCIDENT.

Death.

The remains Of the late Mrs. Maud
Collins, who died in Medford Saturday
were yesterday brought to this city
and taken to Toledo on the noon train.
where they will be buried. The par.
ents Of the deceased reside in Toledo.
The remains were accompanied by the
husband and three little children, and
the little ones did not realize that their
mother was dead, but believed she
would join them when they arrived at
their destination. It was pathetic the
way the little mes asked for their
mother and expressed their impatience
at the slowness Of time that kept them
away from their grandparents, where
they hoped TO find their mamma again.

LANE COUNTY nOP PROSPECT.
A veteran Hop Grower, After Tour Of
County, Gives Opinion That Crop
VIII Be Short.

Den Linton has just finished a tour
Of the hop growing district Of Lane
county, excepting the Coyote and Spen-
Ger creek country, and gives it as his
opinion that the crop will be short Of
last year. the few upland yards of the
/ central and east side Of the county be.
ing especially hurt by drouth.
Mr.. Linton says the lower part of
the Campbell & Walker yard, conduct
ed by J. r. Campbell this season, prom
ises the best crop Of any he saw. He
attributes the success there met with
in running four vines instead Of two,
as usual throughout the valley, TO the
dryness of the season, believing that in
years Of ordinary rainfall the four
vines with cross-twining the wires to
train on, would make too rank a growth
However, on that score John Anderson
increased the yield Of his hops last year
from 1900 to 1900 pounds to the acre,
putting up three vines, and the sea
son was of the ordinary.
The truth is the ordinary hop grower
fails in c~ultivating his hops. He saves
a few dollars an acre in cultivation,
only to lose scores Of dollars in produc
ton. Hops cannot be cultivated too
mu~ch-instead Of hop yards the English
call them chop gardens" Like gar
den stuff, they grow best with careful
md continuous attention. Our growers
will reap greatly added profits when
hey come to appreciate the truth of
his statement.
For the benefit Of other growers we
will state that Mr.. Campbell forked
ibout every hill a couple Of feet or SC
Jack with a heavy, six-tined barn fork,
hat kind OF a fork being used so the
orker would more easily feel the strain
rom caught roots, and avoid breaking
hem. Then on a couple Of acres OF a
ust perceptible knoll, where the hops
ave been light in previous years, pre-
umably from nearness Of gravel to the

Some alleged Republican newspaper
are laying the foundation for the re

congressional district.
The effort to make IL appear that Mr..

tariff is far-fetched.
That there will ultimately be some
revision Of the tariff no one can doubt.
When there is a new tariff made the
Republican party will make II.
The Republican party has made more
prosperity for the farmer and the labor
or by its tariff policies than all other
influences combined.
For twenty years Mr.. Tooze has

can party, and always upheld Republi-
can principles Of protection.
Such q man IL he Is nominated for
congressman in this district can be
trusted b stand by the principles Of his
party on hat question.
The attempt to make tariff revision

to disrupt the Republican ranks and
accomplish no good result.
