thousand members OF the Fraternal
order of Eagles are assembled In this
city to attend the eighth annual ma
tional convention of the Grand Aerie
of the order, which opened here to-
day. The city is in holiday attire and
the principal streets in the business
district are handsomely decorated in
honor of the occasion. Some of the
state headquarters are particularly
picturesque on account Of the origin
ality and beauty OF their decorations.
Judging from present indications
the present convention will not only
be the largest one ever held by the
order, but also one OF the most sue
cessful ones. Many OF the western
and middle state cities have sent large
delegations. An elaborate program
has been arranged for the convention,
which will last three days. There
will be a big street parade. outings,
steamer rides. picnics and grand
vaudeville and spectacular entertain
ments.

HOPPICKERS WANTED.
Fifty CcntsPer Box VIII BE Paid This
SeaSOn

Hundreds of Portland families are
preparing to go hoppicking this sea-
son, as a result of good crops and
the good prices offered for the work.
Hopgrowers have agreed to pay so
cents box this season, and as this
will enable all the members of the
family to 81 to 50 a day each, 1t is con-
sidered quite an inducement.
Hoppicking will begin about Sep
tember l, and will last three weeks.
Steamers plying on the Willamette
will begin to take families to the
yards about a week before the hops
are ripe enough to pull, and these
boats will be crowded with jolly peo-
pie OF all ages who take equipment
along for camping out.
As a rule sheds are furnished in
which campers may be sheltered from
the possible showers, and wood for
fuel Is provided also by the hopgrow-
ers. Some even go so far as to offer
free fruits and vegetables, in order
that the pickers may feel at home
and come again next season.
Many thousands of pickers will be
needed in the Willamette valley
yards. Krebs Bros. alone needing L.
500 for three weeks. In the large
yards dancing pavilions are set up in
order that the young people may en-
joy themselves OF evenings.
But people must not think it's all
fun in the hop fields" a grower said
recettly, "as we want work done. and
hoppicking is like any other work, it
Is likely to make one feel tired. We
cannot have people about the yards
idling away their time, and such per-
sons will be invited to leave forth
with"
Hoppicking scatters a large sum of
money among those who need it, as
poor people living in the country can
provide themselves with enough to
buy winter goods in a few weeks. As
soon as hoppicking begins the retail
ers of the Willamette valley notice
the increase in perceptible circulation
right away.

PAYS TO DIG WELLS.
Enormous Cost of Hauling Water is
Not Realized.

The Dalles Optimist is in favor of
digging or boring wells on the dry
farms of the inland empire, and gives
the following account of one man in
Morrow county who spent a small
fortune hauling water. for his ranch.
The Optimist says:
At Douglas, on the Heppner branch,
a water hauler told the writer that his
boss paid the wages of one man, kept
up the wagon and tanks, kept four
horses steady at work, all at a cost
of over $50 a month, for the last sew
en- years.
And yet that man could dig am
equip a well with pumping machinery
for less than $500. Aside from tho
saving, he could irrigate from tw0 to
five acres. He could have a garden,
he could set out fruit trees, he could
beautify his grounds with lawn and
shade trees and have ,ylace to live
in resembling a home.
