OFF FOR HOP FIELDS.
Many Families of Pickers Engage
Passage on River Steamers.

Passage on River Steamers.
Pickers in small groups have begun
to take passage on the steamers
bound for the hop fields on the Up
per Willamette River, says the Tele-
gram. So far they are mostly fami-
lies who are going early, in order to
select suitable camping grounds near
the yards. In another week the
agents of the navigation companies
say that it will be necessary to add
other craft in order to take care of
the increased traffic. The Oregon
City company is fixing up the Pomona
for early service, making three
steamers it will have in operation.
The others are the Oregona and AL
tona. Each of them has accommo-
dations for about 500 passengers.
Great quantities of burlap for bal
ing the hops after they are gathered
are lying at the docks awaiting ship
ment to the various yards. 1t is
claimed that this traffic will be suff-
ciently heavy for the next few weeks
TO provide the steamers with fair car
goes. At a number of points the
river is at a rather low stage, but It
is believed that the steamers will be
able to get through as far as Salem
during the entire season. Practic-
ally all of the hop yards are on this
side OF that city.

DidnN belong 10 Colora ID.

In the early days of Leadvllle there
was q singular character living BY
the nama Of Major Martin McGinnis.
The major was the important man Of
the camp, and when any distinguished
parties came to the city they were
received by Major Martin, Nc innls and
presented with the freedom of the
camp on gold plate. The French
government sent three mining engi-
neers over to examine and to report
upon the mineral deposits Of this To-
cality. They were received by Major
Martin McGinnis, who put them In car
riages and took them around the camp.
AS they were going up California
gulch the Frenchmen suddenly jumped
out Of the carriage and commenced
to hammer and chisel upon large
black bowlder that lay alongside the
road. The major watched them ges-
dculating to one another, and he final
~ said to the interpreter: "What do
they mean? What are they talking
about?" The interpreter said, 'They
say that rock don't belong here" The
major said: 1.-THE deuce it don't! You
say to those foreigners that won't
stand for them coming over here and
running down our country. Tell them
that they can find anything anywhere
In Colorado"
The Frenchmen were right, however,

The Battle of RedOnda


Not far from st. Thomas, matter OF
perhaps hundred miles, was fought
the most wonderful naval battle in all
history. The Dutch admiral detected
the enemy in the early morning, when
the sea was covered with thick mist,
and his guns opened fire at once with
out warning. The fire was returned
with interest, the ocean fairly culver
Ing with spasms caused by the shock
Of frequent discharges. Somehow or
other the enemy's shots, which sound.
ed like a bombardment, seemed to fall
short or go wide of the mark, for not
even splash of ball was heard, and
the Dutch ships remained unscathed.
On the other hand, the Dutch could not
see the terrible execution their guns
were doing until nearly the middle of
the forenoon, when the fog lifted, re-
vealing to their astonished gaze not the
vessels Of the enemy, but great rock
standing out Of the sea. They had been
firing at it for FIVE hours, and the sound
Of the return shots they heard was the
echo from the solid wall Of granite.
They named the place Redonda, which
means sent, rolled or driven back, and
Redonda it Is to this day.

1t would be interesting to
know just how many votes were
won for Governor Johnson in the
late election by President Roose.
velt. Roosevelt did not interfere
in the least during the campaign,
but some time ago he did pay
the Minnesota chief executive the
distinctive honor of special men
ton and commentator in a mes
sage to congress. Johnson and
his workers were not backward
in making use of such top-notch
campaign material, and if it were
possible to figure out accurately
such an intangible problem, it
probably would be found that the
president Of the United States
Was responsible for several
thousand of that $1,000 plurality.
