Kills Strange Bird.

Friday, while hunting on his fathers
farm some miles south of Corvallis,
Mark Rickard shot hybrid-a cross
between a China pheasant and
grouse. He brought it to Corvallis,
Saturday, and turned it over to Roy
Woodcock to mount The bird favors
both sides of the house. 1t is large
and we'll developed in every way. Mr..
Rickard says that in flying it differs
from a China pheasant in the fact
that it spreads its tail. In this act, it
follows the grouse tactics The feet
and legs of the hybrid are like those
Of the grouse. Many Of the feathers
are like those of the China. This is
the third hybrid of the kind to be shot
on the Rickard farm, and Mark says
that they are better eating than a
China. Gene Simpson, prominent
pheasant breeder in Corvallis, has
two hybrids of the same cross and
they are doing nicely in captivity.

Dallas Does Things.

w. T.. Mahoney, the staff cores
pondent of the Evening Telegram,
who accompanied the Portland busi-
ness men on their excursion through
the Willamette Valley, writes Of the
brief stay in Dallas as follows;
"Dallas proved an interesting point.
A large sign was tackled conspicuously
on the depot, which read: Dallas,
the town that does things, and this
was the impression carried away. The
boys brass band rendered selections
at the station, and several hundred
school children greeted the visitors.
Mayor Ed Biddle showed the ex-
cursionists how streams could be
thrown 200 feet by the hremen using
the water brought from the mountains
by the new gravity system, and took
pride in guiding them to the new
$4,000 courthouse, built Of stone
quarried but three miles from there. "

VIII Grub Up Vines.

As a result of the low prices in the
hop market, many large hop growers
of Eugene and vicinity will grub their
yards up the coming year, says the
Guard. Marion Davis, of Springfield,
is the first to take this action, and has
just finished grubbing up a 10-acre
yard. Others say they will follow his
example. Many old growers, like
George Doris, Dan Linton, and
Campbell & Walker, Of Eugene, will
do little work on their yards, cutting
down the expenses, which means the
yards at best will not produce over
one-third crop. This will mean a big
loss to the state, as the hop crop
figures largely in the general output.

Long Run Wins Game.

Perry Castle, Dallas boy who is
spending the winter in Davis juno
ton, Illinois, writes that it was his
good fortune to be able to make 35-
yard run in the big football game be-
tween the Rockford and Monroe Center
teams a week ago last Saturday. The
ball was soon carried across the line
for a touch down and the game was
won for Monroe Center. Perry was
one of Dallas Colleges best all around
athletes, and helped to carry the Grim
son to victory in many hard-fought
basketball games. Oregon boys have
a way of "making good" wherever
they go.

WILL COLLECT HOP NEWS
Mass Meeting Of Growers Will Be
Held at Salem December 2
to Organize.

Owing to the illness of Temporary
Chairman J. X. Sears, the mass meet
ing for the organization Of hop
growers information bureau was not
held in Salem, Saturday, but was
postponed until Saturday, December
2, says Salem dispatch in the Ore
gonian. The committee on constitu-
ton and bylaws made public the
general features of its report, how
ever, and asks that local hopgrowers
meetings be held Saturday, November
%, for the purpose Of choosing dele
gates to attend the meeting in Salem.
December2
An information bureau which will
furnish private hop news to its mem
bers is the chief object in view. 1t is
estimated that such a bureau can be
maintained for $4,000 year, Of which
sum $1,000 will be for salary Of the
secretary and $500 for expenses.
Should half the growers join the asso-
citation, it would require tax Of 4
cents a bale upon the membership.
The association proposes to get reliable
hop news from all parts of the world
and supply it to members only.
The committee also recommends
that one purpose Of its association
shall be to induce Congress to pass
laws that will prevent the use Of
quassia and chittim bark in hop beer.
Another object to be attained is bring
ing the grower and brewer closer
together so as to reduce the amount Of
money paid to middlemen.

ample justice to a tyrannical power.
And from Manila Bay to Santiago, over
