GROSS & MOODY,
In the Hop Fields.
This Week Will End the Pick
ing Season.
A riedium Crop of Fair Quality Has
Been Harvested.
What tobacco is to Kentucky, what
corn is to Iowa, wheat lo Kansas and
cotton to Texas and the South, the hop
crop is to Oregon and Washington. Ore
gon has the distinctioq to growing more
pounds of hopa and of better Quality
than any other f tate in the Union. Ore
gon bopn are known tho world over and
in fact the big end of the Oregon hop
crop is bought by nilish buyers and
shipped by them to "Old England" and
there they become the important feature
in the brewing of beer.
There are hundred' ot acres of hop
yards in Clackamas county, not as many
it is true as there are in Marion, Yam
bill and tome of the counties South of
us. Yet the quality of the crop grown
in Clackamas is as tine and is just as re
munerative as those grown in any part
of the coast country. Ou account of the
extraordinary price of hops for the last
two or three years many new hop yards
have been planted out this year and
they will be in full beaiing next seimon.
Just how many acres are planted to hope
in Clackamas county it would be more
than difficult to say, but there must he
in excess of 1,000 acres and possible two
thousand acres
Hops last year were sold in the open
market lor from twenty to thirty cents
per pound and those of our citizens who
were lucky enough to have a good yard
"feathered their nests" in royal floe
style. Thp year the price is almost as
good and many crops are being sold for
twenty three to twenty five cents and
the lucky owners of hop fields will have
large bank accounts this winter.
Hop picking has been in full bl -st dur
ing the past two weeks and this week
will see the end of this branch of the
work. The pickiug season is the jolliest
season of the year. Men, women and
children go to the yards for an onting as
well b to make a little pin money to
buy fall clothes with and the many "Jim
cra:ke'' of life thai add to the pleasure
and the enjoyment of lite on this hu
mane sphere.
, If you should pass through any of the
pretty villages in the Willamette Valley,
or any other of the ' hoD regions of the
Pacific Northwest, aboutSeptember first,
you will wonder what has become of the
inhabitants of all the beautiful homes,
where fine gardens and fruit laden or
chards are everywhere maturing in the
sunshine, left to the mercy of the passer
by, or eared for only by some lonesoai"-
Joking dog who watches you piteously
s you pass.or howls mournfully behind
the picket fence. But by and by the
mystery is solved . Along the roadside
you notice rows and rows af hops, climb
ing up tall poles or gracefully festoon-1
ing long, heavy wires that stretch from
post to post across the field.
Ana the rows are alive with a busy
jubilant crowd of pickers, with great
baskets, each of which holds four and
one-half bushels of the yejlow-green
hops. Everybody is picking, from the
tiny toddler who sometimes fills a small
market basket in a day, to Gnndpa,
who feels uneasy if he fails to nil his
large basket ten times between his 1 asty
breakfast and the supper eaten more,
leisurely, by the light of a campfire that
send6 its fluttering red fingers up among
the fir branches. Jokes fly Wiiok find
last, and the pretty, rosy girls, disguised
in the ugliebt of togs, yet find time
enough for flirting to render life endur
able. If they are picking irom piles, joii
hear the shout: "Hod pole! Hop pole!
Hop pole I" in all tones and keyed to all
pitches avn that of paiicmce Then, if
uU follow the "'pole-pullet " to the vo
ciferous picker, you will find some one
holding a ' mule" two long, l'ght sticks
fastened together to form a prop for the
heavy pole which the pole.puller
wr. nches loose at thebo'f.om and low
ers into the prop.
The pole once settled in position,
nimble fingers soon strip the pretty hopi
from the yines. Thi basket filled, the
picker calk lustily, "M-e-a-s-u-r-el" and
from somewhere alonti the rank growth
of vines auother man appears, carrying
a huiie burlap sack, and into this he
empties tne basket, gives tn nicker a
ticket, "good for one-half box of hops,"
and the picker goes on filling and empty-

called upon by a committe of the best ' business interests of the city
and urged to reconsider his determination to retire from the mavoralitv

from 20 cents to 25 r-erits e-ich, and the
star pickers who cairy off from ten to
fourteen of them each day reap a small
fortune in the uo or three weeks of hop
picking.
Whenagio'.ly number of boxes has
bt'en gathered, a man comes with a
horse and sled, loads on the socks, burs'

house. The great sacks are lifted by
means of pulleys to the sewnd story,
where the hops ar emptied inio a floor
made from boards an lucu or more in
width, with up ices about, a hill inch
wide bet ween iheoi Over this coarse,
heavy cloth is stretched tightly, and a

dampness to aumit of the baling pro

The pickers' tents are pitched in cool,
shady oiaces, and the owners of the hop
fields in mont cuees make their employes
welcome to vegetables and fruit in
abundance, thereby reducing the ex

inclement day . While the showers
were internment and sporadic, they

battles became frequent and old and
young engaged in the sport.
The Labor Day celebrations Monday
were quite successful. The uniou labor

and well soiled to the occasion. In the

between the carpenters and painters
which resulted m a victory for the paint

A. C. Ryan Comes to Town and Mys

A. C. Ryan, a yonfg faimerof Mar
quatn, is missing and his friends are
seeking to learn his whereabouts and ex
press considerable anxiety as to his
safety.) . f". W
Ryan came to trwn Saturday on busi
ness. JHe put his horse he had ridden
ill Dimick's livery stuble. He told his
people'at Marquam that he would re
turn Sunday Sunday passed and Rvan
did not come home.j Tuesday mori ing
no word had been received from
him and his father-in-law, George
Slauenter, decided to come to town and
se if something bad not haimend to him.
UM'hen he arrived here he found Ryan's
tiQter iu the stable A thorough search
failed to reveal the whoreabouis of the
missing man.
Ryan drew $110 from the oank Satur
day and from that time his whereabouts
are unknown. His father-in-law took
the horse home with him Tuesday and
expressed the gravest feats as to the
safety ot Rvan. He said that he did
not drink nor gamble and was unable to
account for his mysterious disappear'
ance.
He thiuks that Kyan may have met
with foul play and that he may have
displayed the money which he drew
from the bank to some oi the numerous
mountebanks with whfch the town was
filled during tin street fair.
Kyan is described as a man of about
40 years of age, medium height, and
weight with a sandy complexion. M hen
he disappeared he was roughly dress( d.
wearing a light coat and vest and dark
trousers. He had on a gray hat with a
leather band. Local authorities have
been notified anda th rough search will
be made for the missing man,
UNKNOWN B0DV FOUND IN PORTLAND ,
Wedneslay morning an unknown
body was found propped against the
bank of Sullivan's gulch slough, in
Portland, which is believed by many to
be the body of the unfortunate Ryan.
While the description tallies in many
nointsthe body ha not been identified as
Rvan's. Ivan Dimick. son nf D R
Dimick, the liveryman, left for Portland
Thursday morning to see if he could not
identify the remains, but no report had
been received from him up to the time
this article was written. Coroner Fin
ley held a post mortem examination
over the remains Wednesday afternoon,
hut no decision could be reached as to
how the man came to his death.
When foun the mat's hands were
tightly clutched to tufts of grass at his
side, while the man lay against the bank
with his feet up to his knees in water.
There were no marks of vioJen e upon
the body.
It is said that no cme of the same des
cription as the man found in Sullivan's
Gulch has been reported missing from
Portland. The body had evidently been
on the bank but a few hdurs and death
had not preceded finding the body by
many hours Nothing was found upon
the bo9v hut a hankerchief and three
lead pencil stumps. It is generally be
lieved here that the body will rrove to

there is very little question but that he
