The Courier reports that It will require fit;o persons for 20 days. It Is estimated that there will be about 000 bales and these will weigh 200 pounds each, making In all about 100.000 pounds. This crop covers about 2T0 acres. The crop Is reported In good con dition, free from vermin or other plagues. The report comes from "Willamette Valley that Injury has been done the hops there by lice, but to what extent has not been learned. It is to be hoped that the Josephine county crop will be harvested before injurious rains come. Valley Record. SYIXIJG OFrSFFTFR. t.A GRANDE, OBEGON. SATURDAY, SEP1T2TEER J, 1909. Prfessor Twight, a distinguished horticulturist formerly connected with one of the French universities, after paying a "visit of investigation to the Rogue River pear orchards, declares that the believes tbe pear will grow nearer to perfection In this country than any place in the world, not excepting France, where the pear originated. And following him came John V. Dennl3, tbe Newtown Ap ple King of England, who declares that tbe Rogue River Pippins are su perior to any that come to England from other parts of the world. Val ley Record. The following is a synopsis of the United States supreme court decisions regarding delinquent subscribers: 1 Subscribers who do not give ex press notice to the -ontiry are con sidered to 'renew their subscription. 2 If subscribers order discontinu ance of their periodicals, the pub lisher may continue to send the paper until all arrears are paid. 3 If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodical from the post offlce they are responsible until after they have settled their bill and order ed their paper discontinued. 4 If a subscriber moves to another place without Informing the publisher sible. 5 The courts have decided that re fusing to take periodicals from the postoflice or moving and leaving them uncalled for Is prima facie evidence of Intentional fraud. tj If subscribers pay in advance they are bound to give notice at the ehd of ihe time if they do not want to con tinue taking it, otherwise to send It, until an express notice .with all ar- ears Is sent to the publisher. The conclusion of a long and tedious egal battle between the state of Cafi- 'ornia and William B. Bradbury, a uillionalre, will certainly have a jenellcial effect upon the evils of per- ury which Is far too prevalent. Brad- )tiry was convicted of sweating false- y In connection with the foreclosure f a mortgage which he held. Ills venlth could not save .him. The jury rought in a verdict, and Thursday, vhen his attorneys phoned from the mountain resort, where Governor Gil ttt was enjoying an outing that the xecutive would not grant a reprieve, he prisoner was conveyed to th penl ntiary at San Quentin, which upon is arrival he was treated the same s any prisoner, searched, measured r a stilt of prison clothing, photo .raphed and given a bath. Ills long air was cut off and his beard shaved, lothed in a suit of stripes, after which a second photograph was ta ken and he was measured for the Bertllllon cabinet Then he was given i mattress and two blankets and es orted to his cell. The following day e was put to work in the jute mill tnd when asked if he could be allow- d extra food, was told that he would, 'ave to be satisfied with the regular 'uison fare. All of which goes to show that vealth is not everything in this life ml that after years of hard work ,nd close application to business and vhen In the general accepted term of ife, success has been achieved, it can .11 be wiped out in a moment by tbe giving away of character. While Mradbury still retains his money, his aonor Is past retrieving and that which be has stored away is seeming y as trash and valueless. How glad y he would exchange his thousands ipo ntbousands of dollars if that would wipe out bis disgrace. There ire many things that money cannot purchase. POSSE AFTER NEW CASTLE, Penn.; Sept. 4. Railroad detectives and a posse of citizens are seeking bandits, who last night wrecked the Royal Blue Limited on the Baltimore & Ohio road at mid night, causing the death of two and Injuring DO.

Armed men are now guarding the w reckage which holds a large sura. A loor.e rail on the embankment caused tbe wreck. Toledo will have electric lights. Cake Sale Tomorrow. The choir of the Central Church of Christ will conduct a cake sale at the Selder candy store tomorrow. ED STRl.VGnAM. AUCTIONEER, al. cried on nhort notice. 4 Satisfaction guaranteed.
