Wm, Baker has as fine a field of hops left in the field as one would want to see, all over ripe and moldy. Pickers were so scarce in this section it was impossible to save the splendid crop. Geo. Murray, A. Camehl, Mr. Snyder and many others left a great part of their crop. The W. C. T. U. meeting at Mrs. Summers' was well attended and many good things started. Much is to be done in that line of work before the election. Our school opened Monday with a goodly attendance and by the end of tho school week, all are expected to be enrolled for the ensuing year. A new ly bored well, 155 feet deep, has just been finished on our school grounds, which will add much to the comfort and enjoyment of the community when in attendance at the many good enter tainments of the coming winter. Little Robert Brown and Emil Fail megger are among the beginners at school. The marriage of Chas. Taylor to Miss Dora Seely was solemnized Sun day in the M. E. church at this place. A large number of friends and rela tives were invited. Mr. Taylor is a very devojjt churchgoer, as is his lady, and no doubt their manage will be the beginning of a splendid Christian home in our midst. Both are very popular and much sought after among the old as well as the young people of their vast number of acquaintances. This is the second marriage in the two families, as Miss Seely's brother, Jas per, and Mr. Taylor's sister, Rose, were wed a couple of years ago and have a splendid home on the Taylor farm near Sherwood, where Mr. and Mrs. Charles Taylor will also be at home to their many friends in a few weeks.

Capt. and Mrs. W. P. Short of Portland have been spending a month at Coos Bay, Marshfield, Bandon, Co quille and Port Orford among friends, and are now spending a week among relatives here. CHERRYVILLE This weather is like Indian sum mer. Work is progrcsing on the hills cast and west of the Whiskey creek bridge. Over 45,000 feet of planks will be laid there to do away with this great impediment to travel in the wet sea son. Wm. Walker will soon begin tlm erection of a barn and house on his ranch, three miles east of the post office on the main auto road. One of tho neighbors, R. C. Mur ray, cut nearly eight tons of clover hay in two cuttings from two acres. Can you beat it? A WORD FOR MOTHERS It is a grave mistake for mothers to ueg lect their aches and piUns and suffer Fu silence this ouly leads to chronic sick ness and often shortens life. If your work Is tiring; if your nerves are excitable; if you feel languid, weary or depressed, you should kuow that Scott's fimulsiou overcomes just such conditions. It possesses In concentrated form the very elements to invigorate the blood, strengthen the tissues, nourish the nerves and build strength. Scott' is strengthening thousands of mothers and will help you. No alcohol. Scott & Bowne. Bluoinfield.lt, J. J. T. Freel, Jr., returned from a trip to the hop fields the first of the week. He says the crop was rather inferior and the price paid for pick ing was only 40 cents a box. A great crop of potatoes in this neighborhood! One neighbor reports diging 42 potatoes from a single hill, over half of them being big enough to use. Postmaster-General Burleson went fishing lately and caught 35 fish which he says will be the exact number of states carried by Wilson this fall at the election. He says so because he hopes so. With the labor vote almost solid for Wilson, he stands an excel lent chance for re-election at this writing, although all that money can do to beat himwill be done. There isn't much difference if any between a progresive republican like LaFollette, Poindexter, or Hiram Johnson and a progressive democrat like Reed of Missouri, J. Ham. Lewis of Illinois, et. al. By the same "token the progressive republicans seem to be winning out at the primaries. The fire across the river, near Mar mot, which was set to get rid of a brush pile, got beyond control and burned up two barns and about 40 tons of hay on the old Hoffman ranch. The man who set it will lose over $2000. Considerable inquiry is being made about lond in this vicinity, especially along the auto road. This auto road will be o the loop around Mt. Hood and wil form part of the great scenic highway. This boulevard will be 122 miles long, reaching from Portland along the Columbia, then around Mt. Hood and back to Portland through Cherryville. This will be one of the most extensively traveled highways in the world. Classification of the railroad lands in this district wil begin on or about Ost. 10. Work is now going on far ther south and is going ahead fast. EAGLE CREEK The "Helping Hand" met at the home of Mrs. Howlett Wednesday afternoon and spent a pleasant time together.

PRISONER FOUR MONTHS John Joseph, Russian, Steals Chick en, CosU County $100 John Joseph was a starving Rus sian, unacquainted with English and a stranger in Clackamas county. John couldn t ask the good farmers of the county for food because he could not speak English. Therefore, he was forced to get-food in the best manner he could. John stole a small hen from a farmer near Estacada and cooked the fowl to provide food that he might live. One of the sacred and righteous upholders of the law and dignity of the comunity arrested John and on May 23 he was committed to jail, and bound over to the grand jury by the Lstacada justice of the peace. bince May 23. John Joseih has been a guest of the county, awaiting a ses sion of the grand jury that this aug ust body might tell to its own satis faction whether or not he had stolen the chicken. To interpreters John ad mitted that he had taken the fowl and said he was willing to work a week for the farmer from whom he had stolen it. But the grand jury wanted John because an Estacada justice had decided that John should go to the grand jury. The jury has not had a session since the date of John's incarceration and the poor Russian languishes J)ehtnd the bars. Figuring reasonable costs for food and incidentals John has cost the taxpayers of Clackamas county at least $100 since he was jailed. The chicken that he appropriated could have been purchased on any market for less than 50 cents. John must remain under the grac ious and hospitable roof of Clackamas county until the grand jury says he is guilty or innocent. He is a com fortable but expensive guest. And he mm AT THE Loans, Bonds and Warrants Overdrafts . . . ' . Furniture and Fixtures Account Other Resources . . Cash and Due From Banks Total . . Capital Surplus and Profits Deposits Total I.KROY D. WALKER, President. has eaten county food almost . 200 times the price of the chicken he stole when he was starving. The justice in certain courts is, indeed, unique. District Attorney Hedges has taken up Joseph's case and will investigate with a view of releasing the man if his record warrants. RESOLUTIONS SUBMITTED Granges and Commercial Bodies Ask ed to Act Against Bill Resolutions have been submitted to all commercial bodies and granges in the state asking for their co-operative support in defeating the people's land and loan law, which is labelled a "vis ionary but dangerous scheme." C. C. Chapman of Portland is father of the resolution and has taken it upon him self to forward it generally through out the state. , The resolution follows: Whereas, the so-called People's Land and Loan Law, if adopted by popular vote in Noveiriber, would be come part of the Constitution of Ore gon, and Whereas, it would make all farm owners and home-owners mere tenants of the state, possessed of empty titles and burdened with the obligation of paying each year the full rental val ue of their houses and lands into the public treasury, and Whereas, by its provisions for loan ing $1500 cash without interest for five pears to anyone who with family has failed to accumulate property of the total value of $2250, it penalizes thrift and puts a premium upon shift lessness and extravagance at taxpay ers' expense, therefore be it Resolved, that we urge our mem bership and all other intelligent citi zens to give attention to the revolu tionary proposals of this radical meas ure, so it may be voted down by so large a majority that the promoters of this single tax legislation may be brought to realize the futility of en cumbering the ballot with their vis ionary but dangerous schemes at every general election. BAD MAN TAKES GOOD BOOK County Jail Testament Takeirby Dumb Prisoner. Starts Around World When Pete Peterson, mysterious Scandinavian and silent as the halls of death, sallied forth fro.m the county jail on Thursday evening after being confined there for three days while his sanity was tested, he had under his arm the gospel of St. John, treas ured possession of the jail for several months. Pete got away with the good book just as he got away with sev eral very good meals. No one seemed to know just how he did it but he did. Peterson, who nodded ability to speak English and Scandinavian, did not utter a word to any person during the three days of his incarceration. He refused absolutely to talk although Dr. J. W. Norris could find no phys ical reason for the lack of speech. Peterson simply nodded his head to those who spoke to him and admitted that he could talk if he wanted to. Officials asked Pete where he was going when he left the jail. Before taking up a southward trail tho silent one described a circle with his finger on the jail floor to indicate that ho was en route "around the world." He was most unkempt when he was taken into custody, but found the jail bath tub a rare delight. He took several baths each day. Later Peterson was arrested at Sa lem and committed to the state insane asylum. , Exchange 40 acre California Alfalfa Farm, cutting 12 to 15 tons of alfalfa per are each year.
