ANOTHER HOP PICKING
RECORD MADE IN POLK
Young Man Near Rickreall Per
forms Unusual Stunt in Short
Space Of Seven Hours.

After reading the remarkable rec
ord made in the hop field by Mr.. and
Mrs. E. w. Hinshaw, of Dallas, who
averaged 10 boxes day during the
entire season, Eaton, the photograph
er, calls the attention Of the OBJ
server to the performance of Peter
Friesen as entitled to consideration.
At Hodges yard near Rickreall, re-
Gently, Mr.. Friesen picked 15 boxes
of hops in seven hours.
That is remarkably swift work,
and places Mr.. Friesen in the ranks
Of the experts. For sustained work,
embracing the entire picking season,
however, Mr.. and Mrs. Hinshaw Is
claim still remains undisputed.

SCHOOL BOYS ANNOY
Professor coad, Formerly of Dallas,
Is Victim of Glass Franks at Hood
River.

The following, appearing in a
Hood River press dispatch last Satur-
day, has reference to a former Dallas
resident, Prof. E. E. Coad, nephew of
County Judge Ed F. Coad, of this
city, and former student in Dallas
College:
Excitement began when the sew
eral classes in the Hood River high
school began to decorate the trees in
the school yard and the flagstaff with
the respective class col5rs. City Su.
perintendent E. E. Coad objected to
the program of decorations and for
bade further work. Thereupon tht
students took paint and striped the
trees with class colors and decorated
the line of telephone poles leading to
Professor Coad' S house, and also por
tions of the sidewalks.
I" With this disregard for constitut-
ed authority, Chief of Police Lewis
was called to the school to make an
effort to secure confession from the
guilty persons. Chief Lewis called
the students into the library and
questioned them closely and nearly
all admitted that they knew who the
guilty parties were, but each in turn
refused to tell. Professor Coad and a
deputy marshal lie in the grass a
greater part of Thursday night,
awaiting the return of the guilty stu
dents, but none came. /"

RED TAPE GUARDS
APPOINTMENT
VACANCY IN CLERKsHIP OF
PosToFFICE ATTRACTS.
AL Applicants Must Take Civil Ser
vice Examination, to Be Held BY
Postal Authorities.

Since the resignation Of Miss Ruby
Fiske from the position of clerk in
the Dallas postofflce, Postmaster
Coad has been short-handed and he
and Assistant Postmaster Wells are
compelled to do the work Of three
persons. This condition Of affairs
will continue until some score of miles
of red tape shall have been carefully
unwound in the head works at Wash
ington. This is due to the fact that
the Dallas Office is now in the second
class, having been raised to that Dig
nifty on the first Of last July. There
fore the clerkship is filed by civil
service examination. AS soon as pos
sible, arrangements will be made for
the required test, to be held in this
city by the civil service examiner,
and the vacancy win be filed by the
appointment of the person attaining
the highest percentage.
Many Applicants.
The position pays salary Of 5000
per year, with chance of promotion,
and coming under the regulations Of
the civil service, is free from the
preeariousness that hinges upon the
uncertainties of political preferment,
where thrift does not always follow
fawning.
Already Postmaster Coad has been
flooded with applications, mostly
from young ladies, but TO all Of them
he is compelled to explain that he is
not the appointing officer, and that
each must take their chances with the
test questions. For all of which he is
duly thankful, as it relieves him from
an unpleasant responsibility that is
fraught with as much worry as that
which confrOnts the judge Of a baby
show.

FRUIT IN VICINITY OF DALLAS
BUT LITTLTE AFFECTED BY
THE RECENT RAINY
WEATHER.
PlCKERs ARE PLENTIFUL
Weather Cracks Not Thought to
Prove Detrimental and Growers
Are Advised to Dry All and Keep
Separate IS They Are Well Worth
Caring For.

Following swiftly upon the heels Of
the annual hopfest, the harvest Of the
prune crop began in earnest, and ey-
cry morning bright and early loads Of
pickers wend their way in wagons
and afoot to the orchards in this
vicinity to gather up the fruit that is
to be dried and shipped to the four
corners Of the earth. On account Of
the short picking season in the hop
yards, there is an unusually large
supply Of prune pickers this year,
and growers have been daily COM
PEELED to turn away applicants. Since
the schools opened, however, the NUM-
ber Of juvenile pickers has been con-
siderably reduced.
Gloom Unnecessary.
Notwithstanding the gloomy pre-
dictions that were made on account Of
the rainy weather, the prune crop
viii be very good one, after all In
different orchards more or less of the
fruit has cracked on account Of the
rains, but the percentage is encourag
ingly small, and the loss will not
amount to much. AS a result Of the
shortage in the markets, the buyers
are not at all fastdious about taking
those that have been weather crack
ed, and almost everything in the
shape Of d ripe prune is readily ac-
cepted.
Advises Drying Them.
A prominent Salem buyer, writing
to local grower, says: "A great
many dryers are drying the cracked
prunes, and we would certainly advise
drying them and keeping them sepa-
rate from the other prunes. l think
you will find that they will come out
good, and even If they
are somewhat damaged, they are well
worth taking care Of this year.
"Some sections Of the valley are
considerable damage, while
Others are having practically no dam
