BABIES,
HAWKS
AND HOPS
And All Above Average In Size and
'Of Extra Quality

Aurora, Or, Sept. 3O.-Postmas-
ter Snyder is the happiest man in
this neck of the woods since Sun
day, when he was gladdened by the
arrival OF a regulation 9-pound boy
at his house. and all his friends
have been taking something on him,
and smoking good cigars at his eN-
pense. School opened here TODAY
with a fairly good attendance. which
will be increased by the first of No
vember. for by that time the chill
dren will have gotten through help
ing with the farm work. Prof. jay
Bleakney. of Silyerton, has been re-
engaged for the fall and winter
term. There Is some talk of adding
another grade to the school, Hop
baling is nearly finished in this Sec
tion, and, Notwithstanding the mold
that was in the yards at the time of
picking. most of the hops baled will
grade a fair TO good quality. Very
few sales have been reported so far,
and those made mostly by renters,
who have to have the money, and
were willing to sell at any price in
order TO come out somewhere even.
A more cheerful view of the situa-
tion is taken by the growers since
the picking is over, and they think
that 12 TO 14-cent hops is not among
the impossibilities. One of the larg-
est chicken hawks ever killed in this
section was shot Saturday by Willie
Fry near Hubbard. The hawk
measured four feet from the tip OF
his wings, and had talons like an
eagle. The hawk had been killing
many chickens in the farmers yards
near the Fry place, and the boy laid
for the bird, with the result that Sat-
urday he saw him up in a big tree
about 100 yards distant, and took a
shot at the bird. The second shot
brought the hawk to the ground.

GAS AND

A Payette dispatch OF September

Both oil and gas were struck at
the oil well being bored at this
place by tho oregon oil a. Gas Com

placed over the we'll flames spouted
into the air 10 or i5 feet high.
This evening the gas was set on

caused considerable excitement
here, and the people are manifesting
the utmost interest in the develop

OF near oil and gas have been found
all along as the well has been sunk,
the actual striking OF gas at a depth

those engaged In sinking the well.
No boring Is being done today, as
