The RabbitvlIle Philosopher.

"a. Bennett in Irrigon Irrigator.)
There is a good many different
kinds of burned fools in this world,
and mebbe more has gone acrost the
divide, sorter blazin' the trail for us
bigger fools to foller. But it is my
own individyual opinion that a feller
what argifies about a females aidge
has all other kinds of fools beet to a
custard. Only last weak jokularly
made mention about Liza Butter
bottom making her debute in 1876. l
told her ment she was borned then,
thinkin' like other fools have thunk
before that I could square it with her.
Then she says she was borned in 1886,
bein' jest 10 come Thanksgiving. Jest
10! Miss Liza Butterbottom, aidge
19! And me and her don't speak now
as we meat and pass by, and mebbe
we newer wont no more forever.
Anyhow I don't care much to be dis
sociated with kids of 49, I'll waite or
year till she's 20.

ACTIVITY IN HOPS
Horst Pays ii Cents for Taylor and
Whiteaker Crops at lnde-
pendence.

Charles Livesley, representing f.
Clemens Horst, was the most aggres-
sive buyer in the Independence market
at the opening of the week. He made
two good-sized purchases Monday and
announced he will be in the market
as long as there are hops to sell, The
D. B. Taylor crop of 81 bales and the
George Whitteaker lot Of 13O bales
were bought Monday. Taylor was
paid IL cents and Whiteaker the same
figure for the bulk of his crop, A few
bales that did not come up to the
standard were put in at 1Oi cents.
Dorcas & Young took in the Miles
Portertield crop. These we're really
bargained for Saturday. Three bales
were thrown out of this lot The price
paid was III cents for 155 bales.
Though large per cent Of the hops
Of the Independence district have been
sold, there are growers still holding
their crops and dealers are still on the
ground seeking to buy. The highest
price paid for the past month was III
cents. Dorcas and Young have been
the heaviest buyers in Polk county.
The market Immediately around Inde-
pendence this year proved hard to
break into, but Dorcas and Young
have been busy picking up the smaller
crops back toward the foothills. They
have practically cleaned up the hops
from Airlie to Ballston. They have
purchased close to 5000 bales in Polk
county, between 1900 and 1900 being
of Independence growers.
The idea of cutting down the acreage
in the Independence district for next
year, which at first met with favor, is
not so popular now. AS growers con-
slider the proposition, they generally
conclude their interest lies in con-
tinuing to produce hops and put on
the market the best article possible,
and let other sections, where hops can
not be grown of as good quality or
quantity per acre, quit the business.
According to the present state of mind,
Independence growers will cultivate
their yards as usual next year.

Salem Defeats Dallas.

The Salem football team defeated a
picked-up team in this city Saturday
afternoon by the decisive score OF " TO
s. A large crowd Of young people
witnessed the game. Nobody knew
before this game that Dallas had II
football team, and nobody knows 1t
vet for that matter Young men VINO
spend their whole time in clerical pur-
snits or in the school room, without
apv preliminary practice whatever
don't stand much of a show when they
90 up against bunch Of well-tralned
football players, and the only question
that is puzzling Dallas people Is no"
the home team ever managed to make
those five points. People who saw the
game say that Dallas put up goou
hall for a few minutes in the hrSt
half but that from that time on the
sturdy Salem lads had everything
their own way.

HOP GROWERS MEET
An Attempt Will Be Made to Bring
About Organization for Mutual
Protection.

About forty prominent hop growers,
representing various parts of Oregon,
assembled in Salem, Saturday, in
response to the call of President J. X.
Sears, of Polk county, who was unable
to be present himself by reason Of
sickness. In his absence H. G.
Fletcher presided and James H Cole
man acted as secretary,
The report Of the committee on con-
stitution and bylaws was heard and
adopted, and those present were
enthusiastic over the proposed cooper
ative movement, says the Salem
Statesman.
A resolution was read and discussed
proposing to reduce the outputo of hops
80 per cent, but it was not thought adj
visable to adopt it in the form in
which it has been presented. There
might be legal entanglements, and
there are other difficulties in making
the scheme operative, but the spirit Of
it met with appreciation, and 1t was
thought it could be worked out under
the constitution and bylaws.
The chairman, by unanimous vote,
was authorized to name repre-
sentative hop grower in every section
desiring to be represented, and to
these men will be sent copies of the
constitution and bylaws, to which
they will be authorized to procure
signatures of growers in their respect
i've sections. They will also be author
lied to attend meetings of the associ-
alton at the call of the president.
The chief features of the proposed
corporation as outlined Saturday are .
To establish bureau Of information
for the exclusive use Of its members
to bring about the enactment Of law
to prohibit the adulteratlon of hop
beer; to inaugurate an effort to bring
the growers into more intimate and
direct relations with the consumers.

Look Out For ImpostOrs.

A man giving his name as Royal
has been "canvassing" Salem and by
telling a hard luck story has gathered
up a great many dimes and quarters.
1t is believed that this is the same in
dividual who worked" Portland
recently and the people are warned to
look out for him. A young girl, aged
about l6 years, has also visited a
number of Salem homes during the
past few weeks and has begged cloth
ing, food, ETC., after relating pitiful
story of how her home was recently
destroyed by fire, leaving a family OF
father, mother and eight children in
destitute circumstances. She claimed
to be a resident Of West Salem, but
inquiry has failed to locate her home
and it is believed she is an impostor.
At several houses the girl gave heI
name as Warner.

To Prevent Accidents.

Labor Commissioner Hoff has re-
turned from five weeks tour Of in
spection of the mills and factories in
Jackson, Coos, Josephine and parts Of
Lane and Douglas counties. During
his absence he visited 146 mills and
factories and in most of them he
found exposed shafts and parts OF
machines which are menace to life
and limb as long as they are neglected.
The owners were notified in each
instance to make improvements,
which, II made, will lessen the chance
Of serious accidents happening.
Mr.. Hoff has decided that to bring
about a prompt acquiescence in the
order to make such changes as will
lessen the liability to accidents, he
will be willing witness in any case
for damages against an individual or
corporation, after he has notified them
to safeguard their machinery.

The Christmas Dinner.

In spite of the fact that the word
dyspepsia means literally bad cook, it
will not be fair for many to lay the
blame on the cook il they begin the
Christmas dinner with little appetite
and end it with distress or nausea. 1t
may not be fair for any to do that-let
us hope so for the sake Of the cook
The disease dyspepsia indicates bad
stomach, that is a weak stomach,
rather than a bad cook, and for a
weak stomach there is nothing equal
to Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t gives the
stomach .vigor and tone, cures dyspep-
sia, creates appetite, and makes eating
the pleasure it should be.
