OUR INDUSTRIAL AFFAIRS.
Hop-picking is now on and the Che
mavva grounds look very deserted during
the day time. Last Saturday camp
equipage was packed and on Sunday af
ternoon Mr, Mann with his party of
boys left for the Jones hop yard, and
Mr. Enright with his party left for the
Simon yard, 'about'five miles from the
school. To these camps the ration wag
on goes daily to supply their wants.
On Monday morning all was bustle
and excitement before daylight because
the dairy boys had their milking and
barn work to do before breakfast, then
after breakfast another party including
the dairy boys, farm boys, kitchen boys
and engineers, and those who have du
ties morning and evening at the school,
start off on a three-mile tramp to the
McNary yard, where they pick until
evening, coming back to school about
seven o'clock; when they have late sup
per, and then after supper do their
milking and chores.
Breakfast is at six o'clock and im
mediately after breakfast all the farm
wagons, hayracks and running-gears,
assemble at the front of the girls' en- '
trance and two large parties of girls, one
under Miss Rover and the other under
Miss Earlougher, start for the Lewis and
George Savage yards.
The lunch wagons start out at ten
o'clock, one team supplying the girls'
yards and another goes to the McNary
yard and takes the bread and meat on
down to the Jones and Simon yards.
Then about half-past six in the evening
the girl. come back to the school, jolly
and happy after their hard day's work.
Then they are ready to enjoy a good
supper. -
Anyone who reads the above will see
that these appear to be strenuous days
at Chemawa, and yet they are happy
days looked forward to by the student
body for long weeks before they come.

school. Hop-picking is at its height
and the pupils all gone. We rind fruit

force, while having earlv breakfasts and
late suppers and preparing, lunches for
the various hop camps, are also busily
engaged in canning the fruit from Che
mawa's orchards.
