It is shown by analysis of census
figures that more than half tlio mon

intelligent farming pays.
DEi.iNguBNTTAXK8. The delinquent

than usual. One reason for this is
that Sheriff Doan has boon very lan

Wi'i.i, Pick Hops. A number ot
young men and boys left this place
yesterday for the hop yards of Yamhill
nud otlieia-valloy counties. Some go
wiih the fond expectation of making
n "atnW while others go for the pur
pose 'of having a good tune more than
Hiiything elso. Hop-picking in not a
very profitable occupation, especially
by inexperienced hands, and,-too, the
price for picking is much lower this
year than formerly. Considering all
these things it would not be surprising
to see some of the party wending their
way home in a fow days by tha over
land route, limited, with stopover
privileges.
Tim Bloomino Uloomurr. Several
Oregon City young men, says the En

effected a preliminary organization of

pointed remarks: "If tho bloomorod
woman is a Heeling fad, as most of
lier pulpit assailant allege, what is
tho iimi of wasting wind and time In
denouncing her? A konnei knowledge
of lliu feminine temperament would

Tuesday morning Brunei Feakes, tho
keeper of a small huckster shop, while
in a temporary lit of insanity, il is sup
posed, tlrod two shots out of a revolver
at his wife, and then deliberately
placed tho revolver at his right temple
and blew (ho wliolo top of his skull
oil', The at tention of I ho neighbors
was attracted by the children of tho
couple, six in number, who escaped
from the hoiiso by jumping out of the
window, When tho house was reached
Fciikns was found deud on the floor,
ami his wile was unconscious from the
effects of two wounds in the head, and
the physicians think the cannot re
cover. It appear that Foukoa hud
chastised one of the children, and Mrs
Kniikos, on arriving home in the eve
ning and hearing of tlu incident, re
marked that her husbiiud would have
to answer for his conduct in the police
court tho following day. During the
night a wordy war was in progress,
but iu the morning, as was usual, the
husband got up and made coffee. He
brought some to his wife's room, and
she drunk it while silting on the edge
of the bed. Bho had iust finished
when her husband remarked i "That's
the last coffee you will drink, old wo
man." Ha then began shooting. The
first shot entered above the left breast,
and the second ranged upward under
Hie collarbone.

Judico Dlauoliard is perhaps the moat

Last Hattirday while at work with his

which ho was lining gave way lotting
him fall through a hole in the wharf
about 13 foot to the rocks below, disbi-
citting his lelt shoulder, breaking two
ribs and aoriously bruising his left leg,
side and face. He is again able to bo

Tiir Portland Exposition. The
Portland Industrial Exposition will
opon on October Cth, and close on
November 5th, 181)5, lasting jutt one
month. To the credit of the exposi
tion this year it may be said it will be
conducted on different plan from
that of 1894. It is being promoted en
tirely by the business men of Portland
instead of by an imporled boomer a
last year. The business men of the
metropolis have subscribed the sum
of 1(10,000 lo be used to make the big
fair a success, and sufficiently attract
ive to invite inspection by people from
all parts of the northwest. The ad
mission this year has lieen reduced to
i!u cents, or just one half the price
charged in former years. Mr. Charles
II. Dodd is chairman of the exposition
committee and Mr. E. C. Masteu secre
tary, which fact, when taken into con
sideration tho business interests of
these gontlenion in the northwest, in
surcs success to tho enterprise.

ahead of tho crop on the wound, says

state of the coast in the hop lino.
"Our climatic condition and (oil are
such," he continued, "that they cannot
be beat. Home roots of the celebrated
Bohemian hops have been procured,
and are now being cullived here, and
it is expeoted that within a short lime
Bohemian hops will be produced iu
Oregon superior to those produced in
Bohemia. , It is found that hops cau
bo grown here on high ground as woll
as in low ground, and of a hotter qual
ity. Some year before long hops will
fetch a high price again, and Oregon
bopgrowers will make money galore.'

(ood affect upon their children."

Castoria Is the best remedy for children of
which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not
far distant when mothers willconslder the real
interest of their children, and use Castoria In
stead of the various quack nostrumswhlcb are
destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium,
morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful
agents down their throats, thereby sending
