STAFFOED SHACKS. Fattening Hogs on Apples-Coyotes Getting Numerous Other News Notes. Stafford, Sept. 10. Some of the "Old Oregonians" can never be pleased ; a week ago they were chewing tobacco and growl ing about the rain. It was too early in the season to be of any benefit; now their tune has changed, but they are still growling bout the rain, there was not enough of it to do the spuds any good, and by the pres ent indications the fall will be too late to put in much grain. It seems hard to please some people. John Schiewe is digging a cistern 12x13 lor Conrad Weolfe. B. F. Weddle has been hauling wheat to Oregon City the past week for which be re ceived but forty-two cents a bushel without sacks. Mr. and Mrs. G. X. Phillips and family have been spending the past week with rel atives at Independence. Coyotes nave become quite numerous about here of late.

Charlie Gage, one of the Little Nestucca clam diggers, was in these parts the first of the week collecting. J. P. Gage is fattening a band of bogs on apples with good success. His method is to shake all the apples off the trees that they can consume between feeds both morning and night. His bogs apparently never hear an apple fall on the ground but what they run for it. There is talk of reorganizing the Duplex literary society ere long. The Stafford school will open Monday the 17th inst, with Mr. Beattie, of Ely, as in structor, i Wi Urs. Cams Clippings. Carls, Sept. 11. Wheat harvest and threshing are about over. Grain turned out a light yield and prices send a farmer's pluck clear down into his boots. A goodly number of Carus residents are away hop picking. The writer visited Payne's yards recently. They presented a busy, interesting scene, the work looking vere attractive to a spectator. The pickers, however, state that it grows wearying and monotonous when wages are low, and only the fastest pickers can average $1.25 perday. School began September 3, with an enroll ment of thirty pupils. Prof. Evans will teach a term of eight months. Michael Greybill left Carus last Monday for Corvallis, where he expects to attend . the Agricultural College the coming winter.

While raising -the last main stringer of the Bull Run water works bridge, one of the chains broke and threw Ed McVay, oneof the builder thirty two feet, tearing his scalp nearly nine inches and bruising him all over.

An Archie lit to a Horse Necessitates his Being Killed. Mini, Sept. U. -Quite an accident oc curred last Sunday evening as Robert Moehnke with some of his friends was com ing home from town. Going at a pretty good gait his horse stumbled, causing him to break one of his fore legs right at the ankle. Mr. Meehnke was obliged to shoot his horse. The boys ought to be careful and not "take of! the governor belt" while riding over these rough Mads, as it is dan gerous for both boys and their horses. Henry Hughes and John Moehnke will finish threshing at the end of this week, at the end of which time they w ill have had three weeks steady running in this vicinity. Mrs. Katie Moehnke and Mrs. C.

Mrs. Warner's orchard, likeTannhauser's wand. has bornt green learesagain this year. Such fickle garments, however, can be of little service, for it is almost time for the wind's demon claws to snatch it mule again. - Vox Hctmaria. Harks Prairie Markings. Marks Prairie, Sept. 10.

R. Marks bas returned from his trip east ol the mountains where he bas been spending the summer months in the pleas ant Eastern Oregon climate. He is looking well and reports having had a very pleasant time. Miss Helen Taylor is visiting the Prairie for an outing of a few days in the hop fields. Hop picking bas been in full blast for the past week, and there seems to be a scarcity of pickers in this neighborhood. The hops seem to be good with the exception of some mould and a few lice, but the prices offered are discouraging to the hop raiser, and no doubt there will be twice the number of acres plowed up next spring than were planted last. Geo. Sutherland of this prairie was a caller at the residences of Mr. Marks at McMinn ville one day last week. A. K. Marks and son, of McMinnville, paid a visit to the prairie one day last week.
