There I no doubt but that tljey can and do aell better good than the peddler and at a lea price. The city Improvement club, compoaed of Marshal Buckley and Policeman Tup- per, l doing good work on the new croeaing being put in. The many new walk lately laid, replacing old and woruout one are decidedly appropriate and auggeat a re awakening to the city 'a need. . Roy Irvine, editor ol tho Wheeler County News, arrived In tha city last Friday evening on a visit to relatives. Roy lay that the. inland empire will fairly teem with prosperity thia full owing to the excellent crop now Mug gathered. There waa stolen from the lirigshy rauch the other evening two packagt a containing 60 lack. These were left at Meeker' ranch and some of the latter a taken ami sold by the thiol for fifty cent.

A pleasant surprise party was given Miss May Wilson last Saturday evening at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J, L. Hanna. Young folk to the number of fourteen congregated at the residence of Mr. S. B. Irvine and proceeded to the object of their attack, who was agreeably lrprised. The evening was passed in pleasant and entertaining manner winding up with the serving of season- ble refreshment. On Saturday evening II. Hirschberg came near losing hi crop of grain being threshed on one of hi farms just below town. A spark from the engine set fire to the stacx of straw near the separator and in an Ionian! the whole pile waa ablaze. By quick work the crew, with wet sacks, confined the fire tp the stuck burning which was soon consumed. Everything is so very dry now that it don't take much to atart a fire. Mr. L. P, W. Quimby, state game warden, is making his rounds of the valley, looking after the protection of game throughout tins section. Hi r. Quimby is taking specinl pains to look after the protection of Penny pheasants nd says he is very earnest in the mat ter. He desires that all hunters take heed for he promises that speedy arrest will be the result of anyone shooting these birds out of season. He believes the bird season ought to open Septem ber 1st, but It don't and he proposes' to enforce the law. A very pleasant picnic party assembled on the Sherman Hays' farm Inst Sunday to enjoy the cool shade, and the hospi tality of Mr. and Mrs. Hays. The day was quite warm in town, but the shady farm was as cool and pleasant as could be desired. The day was spent in social converse, pitching horse shoes. looking over the hop yards, eating, etc., on the part of the elder ones of the party, while the youngsters rambled through the groves, used the swings, played games nd had a good time generally until a late hour when all came home thorough ly satisfied with the day' outing. The picnic season is about over as the time for hop picking will begin in a couple of weeks, and that is made the occasion for a continual picnic. Hop pickers are beginning to arriye already, although the time for picking hops will not arrive until after the first of next month. Several families are arnped on the Hays' farm and it is un derstood that more are under way, com ing by their own conveyance. Many persons throughout the country sur rounding Portland make it an event of annual occurrence to come here for the hop picking season, thereby com bining business with pleasure. Had the census enumerator waited until alter the firat of September to make his rounds, the result would have startled the ofllcials who would have wondered why old Polk county had grown so fast since the last census. It is thought that the increase of population in the vicinity of this city when the picking season open will not be less than 2000 persons, that is outsiders. To pay the pickers it will require a cash outlay of at least $50,000. This money will be in circula tion and time will be lively. This estimate is made on about 1000 acres of hops within a radius of five miles of this city. The output is thought to be 1,600,000 pounds. A Mean Trick.

We attended a "mothers' experience meeting" lately and came home duly stifled and as full of knowledge- as poa ail.le. Ol course everybody knows what an 'experience meeting" la, Uh'uu they learned the definition while attending liurcli In younger day.

Saturday Milo Sevier sawed Ida thumb off at the planing mill of F. J, Coad, and Monday morning J, M. Grant, al the same saw, split his thumb 0en to the first joint. Saturday a man named Bhnlget was caught In the chain belt of threshing machine at the Roucliff i lace, near town. Ilia slioulder was dis located and he waa considerably injured otherwise. Prune drying will commence two weeks earlier this season than common. The crop in this locality Is the finest ever known hero, in quantity and qnal- ty.

The trees aru in fine condition, and nothing but an abnormal full of ruin can preyenl a bountiful har vest. Hops are In good condition, aud very few lice are present. Some growers say that the hop lly is to bo found iu a few yards, which indicates that lice may ap pear later on if weather, conditions are favoruhlu.
