The moral to bo drawn from this Is

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.

"KxprrleiK Meeting."

We attended a "mothers' experience

'experience meeting" la, Uh'uu they
