will be given the pleasure of listening
to the same delightful programs which

Three Hop Houses
Burn Near Eugene

Eugene, Ore, Sept 95.--Three hop
houses at the Bushneli hop yard were
destroyed by fire early today, supposed
ly Of incendiary origin. Seven hop
houses have been burned near Eugene
within the past two weeks, all Of which
are said to have been caused by incen.
diaries.
The theory has been advanced that
these fires are part Of n campaign Of
destruction inaugurateu IN California By
migratory workers.
Edward Bushnell, who with his
brother, William Bushnell, owns the
hop houses burned today, declared that
he was warned that the buildings
would be burned, but that he disre,
garded the warnings. There had been
no fires near the buildings for several
weeks, he said.

capped destruction. The entire crop had
been placed in the cooler near the dry
ing house. and becnuse OF the absence
of wind the flames did not spread to
this building. Last week three hop
