HOP HARVEST WILL
BEGIN COMING WEEK

Already the managers of the var
ious hop yards in the Grants Pass
district are arranging for their
crews of pickers, and the harvest Of
one Of the best crops OF the product
that goes toward Quenching the

be on in earnest next Monday morn
ing. A thousand pickers will be en-
ployed next week, and the harves,
will continue for at least three
weeks with the proper kind OF
weather. 1t has come to be expect

the first rain Of the fall, il being US
ual for the picking TO be stopped for

Of the autumn, the weather has al
ways cleared, and the crop is baled
under a cloudless sky. II is because
the picking season is always so pro-
pitious that the Rogue hop crop COM
mands the top OF the market, a
stained or mouldy hop being a rar-
ity here. Last season for the first
time in years a few OF the hops were
injured, the rain causing the sup
porting wires to break and drop the
ripe hops to the wet earth. These
yards have all been rewired, this
season, however, and there will be
no danger of repetition of this.
The Cornell l-Flanagan yard is the
largest one of this district, its loo
acres having produced. 500 bales last
year, and the output this year will
be fully as large. From 500 to SOC
pickers are employed in this yard
the hop pickers camp being an in
teresting place during the season
Camps are established at all the
yards during the picking, and whole
families move out and participate il
the harvest, good pickers making ex
cellent wages, while the children
down almost to the toddlers carr
wages according to their dexterit.

GERMANY BUYS PICTURE;

Van der Goes Painting Shipped
from Vigo, Despite All
Efforts to Prevent It.
TBv cable 10 The Tribune. ]

Madrid, Dec. 21.--The government
has received a large number Of pro-
tests, especially from the northern
provinces. against the sale Of the ia
nous Van der Goes painting which
was purchased recently by the German
government. The sale caused a bitter
controversy. The painting belonged To
q religious association, from which the
Kaiser purchased it through an agent
several months ago.
AS soon as the news Of the sale
transpired. a storm of protest arose and
- group of art lovers tried To obtain
an injunction. The government, how
ever. as we'll as the courts, held that
the association had the right TO dis
pose Of it, and 1t was impossible &c
stop the sale. The painting, which is
n beautiful example Of Flemish fif-
teenth century art, was shipped yes
terday at the port Of Nigo.

Spanish and forwarded to the Foreign
Minister, Sefior Enrique Villejas.
II understood that Colonel Roose-
velt's speeches in Rio de Janeiro and
Buenos Ayres likewise were submitted
TO the Brazilian and Argentine Foreign
Offices, as those addresses and the one
delivered in Santiago were TO be his
principal utterances during the South
American tour. I cannot understand
how an issue could be raised between
Colonel Roosevelt and DR.. Martinez,
since the latter was selected to speak In
behalf Of Chill on account Of his we'll
known sympathy with the ideals Of the

II is said that at the conclusion Of
the Roosevelt reception a demonstra-
ton against the American visitor was
made by a small clique Of Central
American students. The story goes
that as the colonel left the university
