Track Inspecting Machine

The track inspecting machine of the Iron Mountain is going over the Arkansas division. It passed through Little Rock, go- ing south on the main line Satur day, and will today go from Tex arkana over some of the South ern lines, probably covering the Valley division early this week.
 The machine automatically re- cords and marks all defective places in the tracks as it passes over them. A small stream of whitewash is thrown along the defective place so that a section gang following can easily pick out the bad places. The car is drawn over the line at a speed of 45 miles an hour.
 The trip of the inspection car Is a part of the annual inspection of the Maintainance of Way De- partment. Assistant Engineer of Maintainence of Way E. J. Correll has been engaged for two months on the inspection and it is practically complete.

THE HOP
PICKING
is OVER
Prices Range Around q Cents,
But Market Is Firm and
Quiet - Damage by
Rain Is Light

The hop picking season Is now
nearing an end, there remaining but
three yards TO finish. The Livesley
yard OF $50 acres and the monster
yard belonging 20 Horst brothers
in Polk county Will send their pick
ers home probably at the end OF the
week, while another smaller yard
IN Polk county belonging 10 A. Simp
son will be finished within n few
days. An Al crop will be harvested
from these fields this season, provld-
ing the picking can be rushed suf-
ficlently 20 save the hops from spoil
ing after the hard rain fall of yes
terday. II is doubtful, however, II
the unfinished crop can be harvest
ed in time, in which case there will
be considerable loss. tFNI
The market Is dormant at present
in this city, very few deals of any
importance being made between
growers and merchants. A little
inside" information has been given
out regarding recent purchase
made by Julius Plncus, the well
known Salem hop merchant. Mr..
Pinous contracted for 5000 pounds
OF hops at 10c and upon delivery OF
this amount the grower over-ran his
contract amount 20 pounds, for
which the merchant gave him 25c
n pound. Whether this would be
boosting the market is for the hop
men themselves TO Judge, but in any
event, Mr.. Pincus showed a willing
ness TO have everything In sight.
The opinion OF several that pick
ers would be very scarce this year
did not materialize. In speaking too 1
several Salem hop men, familiar with
the hop harvesting, both In Marion
and Polk counties, II is the general |
report that there were enough pick |
ers, and all the yards were amply |
Allied with hands In time to care for
the crop. Next Saturday will see the
finish of the picking.
AZ the present time the hop mar
ket is holding up strongly at 22I
cents, and Il ls the consensus OF |
opinion among the dealers that this
price will soar still higher before
many more weeks.

Il is doubtful II there ever was a
greater shake-up In the list of pas
tOral assignments at the last minute
than occurred here yesterday morn

Bishop Smith had virtually com
pleted his work, when Rev. b. Il.
Rowland. for four years superintend-
ent OF Salem district, arose, without
any previous warming, and asked to,
be released from his position and the
work of the ministry for one year.
He gave business as his reason. His
request was granted, and, as the
northbound train was nearly due,
there was scarcely any time in which
to work out a system of adjustment
10 1T all the problems that arose.
Bishop Smith. therefore, retired
with his cabinet a few minutes. and
then returned and read the assign
ments Because of the sudden
change brought about by the resig-
nation of Or. Rowland DR.. Clarence
True Wilson was left at Centenary
Portland, and DR.. w. II. Sell
leck was left at First church, Salem.
Rev. James Moore, who has been
serving at Woodburn, was promoted
to the position OF superintendent OF
Salem district, taking DR.. Rowland's
place. Owing to the unexpected shift |
II was necessary for the bishop TO |
make a few other changes.
Bishop Smith did not have time |
In which to speak to the ministers |
before reading the assignments. ow-
Ing to the fact that he had TO adjust |

and resigned. The preachers. as a
rule, were satisfied with their ap-
