The boys and girls of Chemawa are looking forward with a great deal of pleasure to their annual outing in the hop-fields near the school. This is a source of pleasure as well as profit for the Chemawa boys and girls. The boys go into camp in charge of some of the men employes and their rations are taken to tliem each day during the picking sea son, which lasts from two to three weeks, while the girls go on hayracks each day to near-by yards in charge of some of the lady employes, returning to the school for a late supper, their noon lunch being taken to them and eaten under the tall firs near the hop-fields. It is an inspiring sight to see them start off after breakfast singing and laughing and returning in the evening in the same mood,: having earned from one to three dollars during the day. This year the picking will commence about September fifth. More than twen ty growers have" asked to be supplied with pickers, but six yards will be all that the Chemawa boys and girls can pick. s , FLAG OF CALIFORNIA.
