THIS WEEK SEES FINISH OF
PICKING IN POLK YARDS;
LOSS FROM MOLD REACH
ES 20 PER CENT.
OUTPUT is 10000 BALES
Heavy Crop Surpasses All Expecta-
tiOns; Mold Causes Abandonment
of Portion of Some Yards; Little
Trade Noted and Market Weak at
18 Cents: Grant Sells.

This week will end the hop pick
ing for the 1912 season. There are
few of the larger yards still at work
but the most of them will finish to-
day or Saturday and what hops are
not picked then will be allowed to
remain on the vines. The season has
been a remarkable one in many ways,
according to the statement of expert
enced hop men. A month ago, pros
poets for an immense yield were
never better in Oregon, and it was
predicted that 10000 bales would
be the output Then followed the
cold damp weather and heavy rains
just as picking began. This led to
mold and other damage which threat
ened to cut down the yield mater
tally. This did happen, and hardly
yard but what lost a few bales,
while some lost a considerable num-
Der. Still the crop was so heavy
that, even with the losses, it will
equal the predicted amount of 120,-
600 bales and all indications at pres
ent point to an excess of this output.
1t is estimated that, had the wealth
er remained favorable, fully 5000
bales would have been the record
established by Oregon this season.
Little Trading Noted.
The market however remains in
active and but little trading is noted
Some few spectators are busy, but
it may be said that the market is
quiet. One of the principal trans
actions of the week was the sale of
the j. M. Grant hops to e. c. Kirk
patrick for IS cents. These hops are
graded as fancy.
1.-THE quality of the hops in the
Dallas district is as usual, up to the
standard" declared E. c. Kirkpat-
rick yesterday. Taken as a whole,
throughout the county, they are all
night too. OF course there has been
considerable mold, but some of the
yards do not show any, while others
have but little. Fully 80 per cent. of
the new crop will grade from prime
to choice which is a very good show
ing, considering the unfavorable

CL MFOR DAMAGE
FOLLOWS SMASH
At CROSSING
MAN SUES SA-
LEM, FALLS CITY & WEST
ERN AS RESULT OF ACCI-
DENT AT WEST SALEM.
SIS, 10000 WILL HEAL HURTS

Alleging damages in the sum OF
$1,000, Sanford Snyder. of Independ-
ence, has filed an action in depart
ment No l, of the Polk County Cir
cult Court, against the Salem Falls
City &, Western railway, for an acci-
dent alleged to have been sustained
| by complainant at the road crossing
near Kingwood park, West Salem,
on May 26, 1912.
In his complaint which was filed
with County Clerk e. M. Smith on
Wednesday by B. F. Swope, of Inde-
pendence, and John A. Carson, of Sa-
lem, as attorneys, it is charged that
the crossing is so located that view
of trains is obstructed, especially to
one approaching the crossing from
the north. That the plaintiff driving
two horses, hitched to a buggy, was
approaching the crossing on the date
in question, and when about 500 feet
distant he stopped the team and
looked and listened" for the sound
of a train, and hearing none, he
drove on, stopping again when about
so feet away and once more he
looked and listened" as the sign
boards say He heard nor saw no
train and started to drive across the
track.
Locomotive Strikes Rig.
When on the crossing a "loccmo-
tive drawing a train of cars" sud
denly loomed up and struck the bug
gy, throwing the plaintiff to the
ground, whereby he was seriously
injured in the abdomen, his back
was wrenched, and he was badly
bruised about the head, neck and
shoulders, body and limbs" In short,
he says he was just about knocked
out by the accident and has since
been unable to pursue his regular
livelihood whereby he garners the
coin for his sustenance He has been
made sick, sore and lame" and is i'm
pretty bad shape generally. He thinks
he has been injured by pain and suf-
fering, fully five thousand dollars
worth, and that medical attention,
livery hire, cash paid out to get home,
and for the wrecking of the buggy,
amount to fully $500 more, where
fore he asks the court to hand him
a judgment against the railway COM
pany for $500 in coin of the realm.
The complaint alleges that the de-
fendant company's employees did not
ring the locomotive bell nor sound
the whistle on approaching the cross
ing. as il is their duty to do, thus he
did not hear the train. His view. he
says. was cut off toward the north
and hence he could not see the train
approaching from that direction.
The case will probably be called
at the December jury term Of the
court.

Day after day she and her hus-
band ride about the ranch togeth-
er, she frequently helping him in
his work with the cattle.
Before her marriage Mrs. Rud-
die was town girl and ranch life
was quite novelty to her and the
novelty has never worn off. She
is 18 miles from the nearest town
of any size and women in that
community are scarce.
Her only companion at the
house during the day is the Chi
nese cook, and he generally goes
fishing, so, naturally, She prefers
to ride with her husband.
She puts some needlework into
a bag, straps her RATA onto her
saddle, mounts her horse and
away they go. When they get
to field she works. 'industriously
at her sewing while he attends to
the stock. If he has torope steer,
and needs any help, back goes the
needlework into the bag and
down comes her wirey RATA and
she plays cowboy for a while.
To keep the ranch life from be-.
coming monotonous, occasionally
the Riddles take the automobile
and go to town or to- visit the
neighboring ranchers.
