day and in the evening the knights
gathered with their ladies at the Spald-
ing Hotel. An if.flrllal reception was
held in the parlors until the banquet
room was ready to receive the throng.
It was late when the Knights and
their friends sat down to the tables.
The dining room was handsomely dec

the banqueters and overflow meetings
were held in neighboring private din

added brilliance to the affair and the
handsomely decorated tables and the
holiday CARRIED eaters presented pref
ty sight. 1t was so late when the first
course was served and it took 80 long to
serve the elaborate repast, that the
hour was very late when the toastmas-

held. Mr.. and Mrs. O'Hara will leave
in a week for the Sault where they
will make their home.
The only gain made during the past
week In the printers strike was made
by the union, and consisted of their
success in getting George M. Jensen,
publisher Of The West End Advertiser,
and who runs job shop out there, to
sign the scale. He has taken back his
old employees, so the battle is over so
far as he is concerned. The union Of
ficers claim that they have several 9TH

money fast.

Litany Of a Singer.

Now my time has come to die,
Good, my masters, hear
This is a sinners litany
Daring to your ear;
Life hath played for me to dance
Up and down the line
(Eh, paid the fiddlers, sirs,
But the dance was sweet!)
Love came swinging to my call
Black-eyed love and bold;
Gave me scarlet lips to kiss,
Both her hands to hold.
Fast and faster fell our feet
To the music's beat
(Eh, paid the folders, sirs,
But the dance was sweet!)
have danced it through the world
All, the merry tune!
Danced the red sun down the west,
Danced away the moon.
Could cavil at the price
Out on souls so mean!
(Eh, paid the folders, sirs,
But the dance was keen!)
Beggared now, my masters all,
Cry your cold dispraise;
Raise your eyes and count your gold;
I, the pauper, richer far.
Trudge your dreary ways;
Envy not nor pine
(Eh. paid the fiddlers; sirs;
But the dance-was mine!)

WILL INCREASE VALUE.
by ChOpping Alfalfa Hay 1t Becomes
Better Cattle Feed.

Mr.Charles Flowers, an extensive
cattle feeder, says: II will pay 81
more per ton for alfalfa run through
a fed cutter and cut into lengths of
one-half an inch to one inch than for
alfalfa hay just as it is mown in the
field. The Hudson Bay Cattle Co.,
of Butter Creek, Or, have always run
their hay through feed cutter be-
fore giving it to their stock. This
year in that district as soon as the
grain was threshed, the threshing
crews turned on the stacks of al
falfa and cut them up" Mr.. Flowers
Is of the opinion that not only will
less hay be required, but the stock
will do better on what they consume.
In view of the large alfalfa meal
mills that are being operated in Ne
braska, cannot some one be found
who will put such mill in at SUM-
nyside? Certainly no better location
can be found anywhere. The cost
to these mills of grinding alfalfa hay
to meal is not over 81 per tom

lions Of the Country.

The wide range in the ruling price
of hops still continues, and the mar
ket this week has fiuctuated be-
tween ~ and IL cts. a pound. with
no great movement at these figures.
This indicates that growers are still
determined to hold on as long as pos
sible. in the hope OF securing better
terms as the season advances. An
Oregon grower refused II cents for
his crop. Two small lots at Mount
Angel, Or, brought 10 cents. In Eu-

ruling price for prime appears to be
about 10c.

COUNTY INSPECTOR SHOWN
DESTROYS STAFFORD APPLES
OF 600 boxes Loaded for Shipment

County Fruit Inspector J. NJ.
Brown went to Toppenish last week
and inspected the entire lot Of Of APP
pies, consisting of 900 boxes. which
X. w. Stafford had loaded on car
at that place for shipment to Dakota
points. OF the 900 boxes thoroughly
Inspected, Mr.. Brown found that 825

infected fruit.
The action Of Mr.. Brown has en-
ragged Mr.. STAFFORD, who declares he
will sue the county and recover the
full value Of the fruit destroyed.
Inspector Brown states that the
fruit he destroyed was the worst lot
he had ever inspected. ~ saved only
IS boxes out of the 900 loaded" he
said, land you can readily appreciate
the condition under those circum-
stances"
1.-THE case is now in the courts"
continued Mr.. Brown, land am glad
that the law will have a chance to be
tested, as I know there are other
fruit growers in the valley who feel
as I do in regard to the matter. I
would hate to think that have taken
undue action in this matter, but /
have acted advisediy, and feel that
I am strictly within the limits Of the
law. Every man in the county
should be interested in the case, as
1t is a most important one. Unless
the county awards Mr.. Stafford dam
ages for his fruit, he will surely be
the loser"

Rural Resident Has a Grievance.

Editor Herald: AS we live in a
free country, We ought to enjoy free
dom. The points which l wish to
call the attention OF your readers to
are. principally. freedom of the pub
lie roads and conduct of school chill
dren. l should especially like to d.
rect my words to the parents and
school teachers.
1t would seem that when teacher
is employed to take charge of school
sheer he, which ever the case may
be--merely teaches and has control
over the children in school hours. At
noon and recess the scholars are al
lowed to roam at will, and so form in
punches of six or eight, and become
boisterous and often insulting, taking
up the roadway at intervals for
distance of quarter of mile from
the school house. and torment, insult
and sass" strangers, especially Ia
dies. to their hearts content, as the
vehicle and occupants are compelled
to pass through them on the public
road. If lady has a frisky team
and small children in the buggy with
her, she don't know whether she will
get through them safely or not
I was insulted by saucy children
the other day as I went to town, till
felt that something ought to be done
to stop this nuisance. Small boys of
seven or eight sometimes stand d.
rectly in front of the horses until
they are almost stepped upon. Now,
should think parents would give
their children more mannerly
training. And the teachers who read
this will, l hope, see that their schol-
ars are not allowed to utilize the
roadways for play, and perhaps be
the cause OF a runaway. II the school
authorities are in doubt as to the
truthfulness Of these statements,
would ask them to try to drive a wild
team past the Summit View school
