London, Nov. 22..--According to the
Berlin correspondent Of the Daily Mail,
Denmark and Germany have entered into
"a treaty to close the Baltic fleets hostile
to Germany in time Of war. 1t will be
remembered that the value of such an
agreement was discussed in Germany
some time ago. 1t is now arranged, and
one of the objects. of the King of Den
marks present visit to Berlin is to rati-
fly it. Germany guarantees the integ-
|rity Of Denmark in return for the priyi-
legc Of closing the sound between Dem
mark and Sweden to any hostile fleet
trying to attack Kiel or other Of the
Baltic ports. This, according to the
correspondent has been the object Of
the kaiser's patient counting Of Denmark
in recent years The agreement IL OF such
character that official denials Of its ex-
istance can always be made apparently
truthful. II even makes it possible for
Denmark TO put up make-belieye pro-
test when the time for the fnlfillment
of the agreement arrives.

The Social Objections to
Mrs. Trip

foriainnl.l

Mrs. Muggledon Mason was one of
the elite Of Groveton There were
disadvantages to be overcome In at
tanning and maintaining this position
but Mrs. Mason possessed the especial
faculties required to overcome them.
For instance her husband was horse
trader--a horse trader on large scale,
to be sure, hut still a horse trader,
When the wife Of wholesale grocer
threw this In the face of Mrs Mason,
that lady retorted: MY husband buys
and sells horses; your husband buys
and sells molasses. What's the differ
ence7"
One evening on the train from the
city where Mrs. Mason had been shop
ping she was talking to Mrs. Edwards,
also a member Of the smart set of
Groveton. Mrs. Edwards was not only
wealthy, but her family had been
wealthy before her for hundred
years. Mrs Mason appreciated this
and proposed to ingratiate herself with
the highborn dame by a bit of social
conservatism.
There are some of our set, said
Mrs. Mason--her voice was loud and
harsh--"who are constantly upholding
some one trying to get in with US who
doesn't belong with us. Several Of our
best ladies are visiting with that young
Mrs. Trip whose efforts to appear re-

PICKING
BECOMES
GENERAL
All the Big Yards Began Pick
Ing Hops Today and the
Fields are Literally
Alive With PEOPLE

Harvesting the crop of hops began
in most of the yards in Marion and
Polk counties this morning. Picking
began in few of the places yester-
day and Monday, and in some yards
it will not begin until tomorrow, but
the larger yards commenced opera
tions this morning. For a week traffic
on the Southern Pacific railroad has
been congested on account of pick
ers coming to the fields, and the road
has not seen fit to put on extra trains
except in few cases. and for that
reason all local trains have been from
one to three hours late.
Several thousand pickers came
from Portland alone to the fields of
Marion and Polk counties, and some
came from as far south as California
and many came from Eastern Oregon
by wagon over the Cascades.
Albany, Corvallis and the Yaquina
Bay country has furnished it's full
quota, and Salem has furnished hun
dreds.
The presence of the hop pickers
has had marked effect on business
in this city since last Saturday, and
for several days the city has been
full of people going to the yards.
The price this year will be uni
formly so cents a box, and it is be-
lieved that steady work will be fur
nished at all the yards. Unless rains
come on and prevent it, the bulk of
the crop will be gathered in two more
weeks, although there will be some
hops yet on the vines in three weeks.

Men Has Doubled

Progress-a bulletin relating to
the rebuilding of San Francisco By
the passenger department of the
Southern Pacific, reprints the editor
ial following, entitled Tale of the
Trolley" and clipped from the San
Francisco Chronicle. The editorial
refers to July business, and is a
pretty strong Endorsement OF the po-
sition taken by the carline employees
in asserting their work was doubled
since the earthquake:
"As an interesting addition to Mr..
Mullally's statement, the following
editorial from the San Francisco is
pertinent:
Car fare receipts tell the story
of population unerringly. The riding
habit may be little more developed
in one community than another, but
the use of urban transportation ia
cilities averages up pretty well
throughout the country. This being
the case, it may be well for some of
the editors who have been led by ir-
responsible correspondents to believe
that San Francisco is depopulated
to attentively consider the fact that
it's citizens disbursed 10,0S0,000
nickles last month for the purpose Of
being moved about on errands of
business or pleasure That is $685.

There are at least three cities in
the country which formerly claimed
a greater population than San Fran
cisco which cannot come within
speaking distance of this showing.
There is no place west of the Rocky
mountains which even remotely ap-
proaches it, and when the plans of
the corporation are carried out, and
the people are afforded a chance to
get about as formerly, its state
ments, together with those of the
Geary-street and the California
street lines, will present such evil
dence Of transportation activity that
there will no longer be left any op-
portunity for the sympathetic out
slider to express regret that the fire

OF course, Mr.. Longcor will be re-

no one under oath. 1t is a kangaroo
court, composed of political grease,
skinned from the Democratic kettle,
and pretty badly spoiled water gath
cred from the filthy pool of politics
bossed by the Republicans, on which
the Gesner dictatorship acts as an
alkali, uniting the waste material,
and the result is job lot of second
rate soft soap, fit only for home use
by it's makers, and applied by them,
