WAS BROUGHT HOME

C. Devoe, Harry Mosher and b. w.
Ritchie brought home fine four point
buck. They have just returned from
four days trip on the head waters of
the Seletz and have something to
tell about it.
They were camping in dry ravine.
Nearby was a mineral spring and
through one quiet night they heard
deer at the springs. AT midnight Mon
day they awoke with start, the wind
was howling, it Numbered without rain
and through gap in their hut they
saw a vivid red glaring light. Hurried
ly dressing they rushed to make ready
to fight what they thought was forest
fire. They found it was this big moon,
the real "hunter's moon They went
back to "lunch" so "sore" that the
stag at eve was left to drink his fill,
or whatever he had to drink. However,
the next day they went after game.
Mosher had mishap. Trying to
jar a rock, to roll down the canyon and
so stir up the animals, he pulled large
piece of it loose and rolled down forty
feet with it, turning two complete SOM
ersaults. He was battered up some but
not seriously. That day, Tuesday, they
captured their prize.

ITALYS POSITION
Anglers GERMANY
By Henry Wood.

Rome, Aug. 6.-By Friday, it was
expected mere today, Italy would be at
war with its former allies, Germany and
Austria Hungary
The treaty which bound the three
together required each signatory to aid
each or both of the Others in case of
an attack by power outside the triple
group.
Italy, however, considered that Ger
many and Austria. Hungary we're the
aggressors, not the attacked.
SO it declared its neutrality.
Thereat the kaiser declared ne would
make war on Italy, as well as on Eng
land, Russia and France, unless the
Italians Joined the Teutonic partner
ship by midnight.
Some reports had it that the Rome
government had already rejected this
ultimatum. At any rate, it was con.
sidered certain it would do 80. Indeed
it was definitely known il had notified
England and France to that effect.
The German declaration Of hostilities
was expected to follow Immediately.
Italy proposed to answer by sim
liar declaration against its old enemy
Austria Hungary, and by attacking the
latter power at once.

CANADIAN MONEY
NOT TAKEN AT PAR

Financial effect of the great con-
tinental war is felt in Salem already in
that there is q possibility that Canadian
money may not be accepted at par for
American money of the same denOmina-
ton. 1t was reported yesterday that
Ladd & Bush bank had refused to ac-
cept Canadian money and this report
gained currency throughout the business
portions of the city, and caused many
merchants to refuse to accept Canadian
dimes or quarters proffered in payment
for goods.
In matters relating to the exchange
of Canadian money, the Ladd & Bush
bank is governed by what the Canadian
Exchange bank does in Portland, and
it was the first impression that this
bank would refuse to exchange at par.
The Ladd & BUSH Officers here have
written to the Canadian Exchange at
Portland asking information as to their
attitude in this matter, and it is ex-
pected that an answer will be received
either late today or tomorrow.
On account of the fact that Canada
is practically governed by English fin
ancial conditions, it was feared that
should Canadian money be accepted
that the Canadian exchange might not
exchange at par, and thus throw fin
ancial loss on the Salem people. War
conditions are uncertain and it is not
known what might happen to disrupt
the stability of the English government
and through it, the related colonies.
However, the banks, until definite
word is received to the contrary, will
continue to receive Canadian money in
small lots, not more than dollar or
two at a time.

WOULD SIMPLIFY
STATES BOOKKEEPING

A bill to simplify the book keeping
be fathered by Governor West at the
next session of the state legislature.
Since the first of the present year the
state treasurer has been endorsing war
rants that were not paid for want of
funds. These warrants are drawing 6
per cent interest while there is ap-
proximately $1,000000 on hand in the
various special funds which is drawing
but two per cent interest.
1t is explained that most of the war
rants are drawn on the general fund
while about 80 different departments
have special funds. Each of these
special funds which has a surplusage of
money not ued does not turn over this
surplus until the first of the year, mean
while warrants are being drawn on a
depleted general fund. These special
funds for the different departments
v re instituted for the convenience of
keeping the accounts.
The governor s plan is to turn over
all appropriations and taxes, with the
exception of the school fund.- into one
general fund and upon this fund war
rants could be drawn until it was ex'
hausted. The State secretary must
sanction all warrants as it is and the
governor believes that if the book
keepinh were turned over to this depart
ment of the secretary of state and the
office of the state treasurer made sim
ply dismursing office that corps Of
bookkeepers would be dispensed witt
and there would not be a deficit of Z
per cent in the interest paid on war
rants and deposits in the banks.

ARE NEARLY READY
FOR HOP PICKING

Registration of hop pickers for the
coming season is going on rapidly at
present and some Of the growers have
nearly secured the quota necessary for
the harvesting of their crops. The reg
istering is somewhat early this year on
account of the fact that the picking
will begin about the first of Septem-
Der. 1t is believed that the harvest
will be general all over the valley on
that date. The picking of early hops
will begin the latter part of next week
but these yards are few.
The labor situation, as far as it af-
fects the hops, said Mr.. Linn of the
firm of Catlin and Linn, appears to
be easy at present with prospect of
getting as many pickers as needed. The
hops have just begun to form and will
be ready for picking about the first
of September. On account of the con
tinued dry weather the valley crop this
year will be somewhat shortened. An
average crop will be harvested by the
yards under the Catlin and Linn con-
troll. This year the hops are particular
ly free from vermin and mold, and the
picking will be pleasant.
Under present conditions, it is ex.
pected that from $4,000 to 100000 bales
of hops will be raised above home con-
sumption. These, accordingly, will be
for export. Last year the hop crop of
Europe was practically a failure, and
this year report says that the crop is
exceptionally heavy and will average
about so per cent more than last. 1t
is not believed that the war conditions
in Europe, though the countries being
invaded are heavy with crops, will ma
terially affect the gathering of the
crop, unless it is destroyed by maraud-
ing bands, as the hop harvest on con
tinental Europe is gathered mostly by
women and children. With the men
away at the front fighting, the duty Of
harvesting will fall on the women and
children. 1t is believed the harvest
will be gathered.

II IS now 1873 years since the United
States of America was composed of ID
states, the greater number of which had
a population of little more than that of
the average city of today Those Ii
states have grown and multiplied until
there are now 48 states, with popula-
ton of nearly 1OO,OOO,OO0 of the most
virile and strongest race Of men on
earth. 1t has been demonstrated many
times in the past century that the strug-
giles of the patriots of 1776 were not in
vain. The words United States OF
America" are an inspiration and help
