GUY IS RECOVERING William Guy. the brakeman who sus tained a broken back three months ago in a railway aicident near Baker City, and has been in St Vincent's hospital in this city ever since, has recovered suffi ciently to occasionally ride about the hos pital in a rolling chair. Notwithstanding this improvement a broken back is con ?HaH hv fttinreons to be incurable and the doctors attending Mr. Guy say he will never recover. He will be an invalid all his life, and it is but a question of how long his vitality can ward off the death that is inevitable. Though the patient realizes that he will never be well again, and that death is only a question of time, he is cheerful and bears his suffering with the greatest fortitude. Portland Telegram, HOP PICKING BEGINS The West Side Enterprise of Independ ence says of the opening of the hoppick ing season: Twelve thousand active pickers, 24,000 flexible arms; 120,000 nimble fingers are now at work in the Independence hop fields. The body of pickers is now here though there are still some coming In daily. ; Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday the streets of Independence were alive with the arriving pickers. The streets are by no means deserted yet, but most of the pickers have found their way to the var ious hopyards and are living in the tented cities in the fields and groves. Every large hopyard now represents a live-awake village of 200 to 1000 inhabitants. There is no lack of life around the hop yard cities. The stores, amusement halls. merry-go-rounds, . music, singing, horse racing, and other diversions serve to en liven the scenes and lend a charm that that tends to fasinate people with hop yard life. Picking, too, has begun in most of the yards, though not all, and at 60 cents a box many have already started their little hoppicking bank acoount. i Though the country seems to be alive with people who have been coming in one continuous procession the past week, the yards are not overrun with pickere. In fact a number of the smaller yards are looking out for more pickers. NOTICE Of PARTNERSHIP DISSOLUTION Notice is hereby given, that the co partnership heretofore existing between W.
