Very possibly,, as agriculture and other industries arise in the next few years, gold will become relative ly unimportant. - HOP PICKERS THE WEEKLY GAZETTE-TIMES - Published Every Friday SUBSCRIPTION -RATES One year, in advance $2.00 Six moths, in advance...;..

LIKED OREGON- Impressed with the future of the Pacific Northwest in'agricul ture, delegates to the national convention of the ; Association of American Agricultural - Colleges and Experiment Stations have returned home after holding' a week's convention at Portland.' Those in attendance expressed themselves as surprised at the manifest agricultural' wealth here. The fertility of the soil and the progress made in agri cultural aroused much comment. The visitors Were enabled to see Various parts of the" State" by special train as guests of the the r various communities.' So highly pleased were they that the excursionists passed a resolution of thanks to their and spoke in very, high terms of the country inspected. Since the The other day a merchant saw m 1 ' m a larmer receiving, gooas irom Chicago, says the . Muscotah,, (Kan.,) Record. The goods! were in the line and same as - he had been carrying for years.' He approached the farmer and said: "I could have sold you . every article you have there - for the same money .that you paid the Chicago house and saved you the express besides." . "Then , why on earth didn't you say so?" answered the farmer. "I s have taken the Muscotah Record for. years, and have never seen a line about you -. selling .these . goods. The Chicago house advertising in the paper quoted prices oh their goods askingf oj? my ' trade and; they got it. Now you have no kick coming, as I did not know you had for sale the article I ordered. I am no mind reader." visitors f are hard-headed ; scien tists who are hot given to making unwarranted statements,. .; their opinions of the Northwest and its future in agriculture may be tak en seriously. These were noth ing short of glowing. The fer tile soil, the : favorable climate, organization and intelligence of the farmers here and their sue cessful methods, and rich oppor . tunity for those who undertake agriculture in this favored sec . The comingvisit of the Presi dent has been the;ause of a new record being set for Oregon fruit. Some admirer has purchased two prize boxes of ' Winter Banana apples from a Hood River or chard, paying $25 per box for them, and - will present them to the nation's ; executive. As the apples will run about 32 to the box,: the buy will spend about 75 cents lor each apple, a price never , before, so far as known, paid for ; Oregon apples. ; Of entertainers fcourse the careful selection and packing of the fruit for shipment to: the White House accounts for a large part of the almost. fal ulous price. : President i Taft, who comes to Portland October 2, has been in duced to cut out a golf game that had been planned for him there and make a public address so that his admirers here may- have an opportunity to hear him speak, It was first arranged to have the big President kept somewhat in i tion ol the country,, all were , a V, c -, " netirp by a limited number. It now appears that in addition to mak ing a public address at the Ar mory on the afternoon of Oc tober 2, he will lay the corner stone of the First Universalist church on the following day. Oregon's annual trek to the hop fields has commenced. Train after train .is discharging its human cargoes on both sides of the Willamette : river. The youth and beauty of the land go to the I Oregon ;hop fields1 for play, but there is a sprinkling of gray' ' heads ' here and there Picking hops is neither all -play nor is it all work. S The:: Septem ber mornings and sunnyj after noons bring health and the aroma rom the hops - induce intense appetites and sound sleeping. ! The hop fieldsfurnish recrea tion for thousands who would be unable to take vacations other wise. The ' college man goes to hoplields to make" money,'- the invalid goes because the , busy- air of the": camp-; and;;, health giving surroundings " are better than any resort of an ' artifical nature. .:: O,;:.-. The'Oregon hop picking season compares with the corn huskings of the middle west and the maple sugar camps of New England except that the . hop picking- is usually on a larger scale than the others. It is seldom that the season begins as early as it has begun this year. The season opens usually about September 6. This year picking began Thurs day in some yards and will be general by the latter part of next week. When 50 cents a box or $1 per hundred pounds is paid for pick ing hops, - the"- average ' picker can : make . good . wages. : The ayerage female picker will make from $2 to $3 a day : and the average male' picker from '$3 to $4, while rapid - pickers of either sex may make from . $5 to $6 per day. It is not always the male picker who is the - best, but he is usually the "steadiest work er. . The person 'who works in the hop' fields has a ravenous ap petite. His diet depends - upon the enterprise of the meat man and the baker who comes into the yard every day selling food. The odor that comes ' from the hops produces the ' sharpest ap- 8 " fair and propose to' make it easy JqW Afooilt iUl LUC III. - There will be no charge for any entry at the fair.

ALASKA AS A HOME. Alaska, with about one-fifth the area of the remainder of the United States, contains less' than 100,000 inhabitants.' That it can support a population of three to six millions is an opinion resting upon facts. . . , ; ; Sixty miles beyond the arctic circle the hardier garden -vege tables, such as potatoes,"" cabbage and cauliflower, are already raised successfully. At the farthest station of the agricultural de partment more than 500,. miles north of Sitka barley and bats . are brought to maturity every year, and in normal years winter wheat and rye, spring wheat and .buckwheat are harvested. The total Alaska area suitable to cul tivation is estimated at a hundred thousand square miles. Finland, substantially in the same latitude, and with as cold a climate, has about 50,000 square miles of cul tivable area, apd supports a pop- . Ulation of .3,000,000. It is a fair argument that Alaska can do at least half . as well as Finland., Do- . ing fully, aslwell the territory, with twice the arable area, would support 6, 000,000 "people. $1,500,000 Wool In This Valley are respectable people intent up on earnirig-money to assist in the winter's expense. V -r" In the groups of smaller yards, such as are found in the Pike valley.'west of North" Yamhill,' the best and cleanest hop. pick ing will be found.

Campers and visitors at the Yachats have been much annoyed this season by the presence of dead sea lions on the beach. Some of the sports still rinsjsts' in killing these animals "just for fun.". If they were used for any" purpose it would be different but when the carcass' is left to decay on the: beach we fail to see wnere tne tun - comes in. it is true the sea lions destroy a large num ber of fish but the few that can be "killed will make very little "difference in that line. . .
