In the Hop Yards.
Nearly half the population of Oregon
City and vicinity have gone to the hop
fields. They went by boat and train,
and a considerable number in- wagons.
The exodus to the hop yards appears
to have been greater than at former
seasons. For two or three days early
in the week it was difficult lor people
to get transportation on either the boats
or trains, and some of them were de
layed in reaching their destination for a
day or two.
The yield of hops will be short, but
they ate of extraordinary good quality,
nnd will bring a fair price in the market,
andgoftr toward redeeming the good
name of Oregon hops. A number of
growers have contracted their hops at
prices ranging from 8 1-2 to 9 cents per
pound.
J. H. and W. J. Miley, of Wilsonville,
have contracted 12,000 pounds of hops
to A. Lehman & Co., for 9 cents per
pound. Andrew Bronkei has con
traded 5,000 pounds to Paul R. G.
Horst k Lachmund Oo., for 8 1-2 cents.
Notwithstanding many pickers have
gone to the hop fields, there is still a
cry for more help, and placards are
posted Up over the city announcing that
40 cents per box will be paid for hop
gatherers.
There will probably be the usual num.
Tjer of romantic love affairs and after
matrimonial alliances, as a result of so
cial life in the hop field. It will be a
pleasant outing for many people, who
will accumulate a little pocket money,
while enjoying the hil?rity and pure
air of the hop fields.
