T. K. Uobb, of Pennsylvania, was in Oregon City last Friday looking after the details nec essary to the conBinnation of a deal whereby bo becomes in possession of the August Lin farm of 21!0 acres on Kaglo creek. Mr. Uobb thinks, and rightly too, that lie has a tract of land that in future will be very valuable. It is on the line of survey of tho Spring water extension of the electric line of the Oregon Water Power and Railway Company, about forty acres in a prime state of cultivation, the remainder being of very fine timber. Mr. Kobb will probably not reside there at present, but be will improve, the place somewhat. I'll kinii ok HorH. -Hoppicking began in a number of yardu the llrt f the week, and in all of them thnro were mure pickers than worn needed. At Levi's yard, near Salem, 110 pickers began woik, the pi ice, paid being '1') cents a box. Tliero woie a few who do maiiilcil r0 cents and went nut, hut the pickers generally decided to accept !() cenlHabox. Kroni other yards Hiiuilar reports ar coming in. Thero appears to lie no dearth of pickern, as nearly all growers have ample pickets registered to earn for their crops. At the (illhertA Patterson yardH, in Polk county, picking will not coiiiinciii'ii until toward the end of tho week. This Unit always has its choico of pickers on account of excellent tieatiiienl given the employes and they have this year many ol the pcupht who picked in the Haino janls during several yeurs. They have more pickers than ro ipiiied, as havo most of tho larger growers. Tho hups everywhere are coming down nicely, and are ol excellent ipiality. If (he price of pirking nhould Iki advanced to 50 cents, tliero will he hiicIi a rush into tho hop yarn, that glowers will have to limit tho pickers to live or six hours a day, and the reHult i will he a Iohh lo the pickers who am now enahleil to put in a full day's woik each day. Sulem Statesman. School Siaihiii Statu Superin tendent Aikerinan has just completed the school statistics of the stite from the reports received bom the several county siiiicriiitcmleiitc. Tho statement hhows Ihu total ecliool population of the hlutii lo he i:iH,ii(i, of which number l00,ii.V.I were on tin school registers during the last school year. The school libraries of tho statu show a healthy growth, tho number of books purchased dining the last year being lo.S.'l, and the total number now in tho libraries is f)li,.V.IS. Tim total amount of money available for school Hurpimcs in tho statu for the year past was J,:IH:!,07-I.!i:I, and the amount expended 1 ,!l'.lU,H(HM J, leaving a sur plus on baud of :ts:i,ai5..r)(. Tho por tion of llm report relative to Clackamas county nukes a very creditable showing. Tim amount of money received in the county for all school purposes during the last year was $!);, i;l'.:i!l, and the dis liiiiHeincnts were JrSi.lili"), lcavinn in the hands of the various district clerks iXJtCJ. One of tho very creditable features of the report is the showing Hindu in the increase of value of scIuhiI property, indicating belter buildings, better equipment and a better condi tion ol school alVairs throughout. I'.ohY Hkcovkiikd. After being in the water nearly eight days, the body of the Japanest! man who committed suicide nearly two weeks ago hy jumping oil' the Hiispeiision bridge, was found floating in the river last Sunday morning by a young man name. I Haas, who was rowing on the river The body when found was not more than a hrndred feet from where il was lust seen at the lime of tho drown ing'. The young man immediately iiotl lied Coroner Holm an, who took the re. miiiiiH lo tho morge, where an impiest was held, hut nothing was developed whereby the identity of tho man was disclosed. The body was in a very bad state of decomposition and w is buried Sunday afternoon. There were to have heen Home parties from Portland present at tho iinpiest to identity the man, if possible, hut thev failed to materialize, and no liuht is thrown upon tho myste rious action of the lellow. It is indeed, a rare thing for a body to bo recovered that has been drow ned in that particular purl of tho liver, so nearly the point of drowning an was the case in this in stance. Assistant Kkcoiiuku. N'ot perhaps-, just at present, will there I e any service rendered in tho recorders ollico by an assistant that has been secured for that department of tho county routine wi rk, but maybe later on thero will ho very valuable service received. The new assistant is at present staying at the home of Recorder Stevens, having nr rived Sunday. He is receiving instruc tions in all the various complications experienced in the recorder's ollice, and really, is a student not yet very sucept ihlo to all that is planned for his future benefit. The late arrival is a son of tlie present recorder, being of a weight o only eight pounds, and his father will impart to him bis knowledge of the art of administering paragoric and drill him in a few of the more modern move ments in midnight floor parades before ho is started out to play a very import ant part in the drama of life. Eni.aiioini Tiikib Stokk. Noticeable among the many improvements going on in Oregon City at this time are those at Huntley Bros. For tho third time in the past eight years they are enlarging and improving their stores to accommo date their trade. The brick wall between the store is being removed and the en tire front changed. There will be one wide central entrance, with sixteen foot windows on either side. The salesroom, or front part of the store, will be 40x12 feet. In the centre is to be a horseshoe sbaped show case twelve feet wide and eighteen feet long, with a center fixture. This arrangement will give double the present floor space for customers and make a light, pleasant place to transact business. When finished they will have one of the handsomest drug stores on the coast. For urn ok July Funds. The com mitted! mi the Fourth of July celebra tion has submitted its report on finances, showing an unused surplus of nearly $LM)0. A petition was presented to the comiiiitlei) asking that tho amount he donated to the Federal Union, having in charge tho Labor Day celebration. This peiitioii was signed by more than lifty of the subscribers to tho fund, and the Fourth of July committee did as re queued in the matter. The report showed the tolal receipts lo have been $'.!. 75 and tho expenditures 7H!l.:tt. TiMiii.ii roil I'.oATiirii.ui.N'i. Clacka mas county is acquiring Homo notoriety hy heiiiK called upon to luruiHb timber for boat-building to tin Portland con tractors. Work on a steamer being built at Purl land by Louis PaUct has heen Homew hat delaved because of the contractor's inability to get tho nec essary material. Tho contractor got Homo if his material from MolalU, w here il is said an excellent quality of boat knees is ta Im found. Tho steamer is being built for a transportation coin piny at Nee lies, Arizona, to be shipped in kimck-dnw n shape. Ace hu nt to John Num. kit. The Aurora paper gives the following account of an accident that befell a Needy resi dent last week : "John Nublett.of Needy, had an accident at I'.utteville last Thurs day evening. bile driving along W illi his stallion, he had a paralytic stroke and fell oil' the cart. One foot caught in the rig and he was drugged for over a hundred yards before he was rescued. Fortunately, the horse did not get fright ened anil the injuries siistaibed by Mr. Noblett were not serious, lie passed through this city Friday morning on his way home." Tl AI.ATIN IlHIIKiK III UNKh. The long hridire which spans the Tualatin river, about four miles from its mouth, was totally destroyed by lire last Friday, en tailing a very serious loss lo Clackamas county. Tho structure was known as "the Portland bridge", and is on the road between Portland and Stu fiord. Just how the lire originated is yet a mystery, but it is considered likely that it whh started either by sparks from a threshing machine or from a passim; steamer. The bridge cost about f.VMM, and to replace it will necessitate an ex penditure of at least that amount more. Attackkh iiy Asiiiiv Cow. Mrs. S. Swimon, who lives near Milwaukie, came near losing her lite last Saturday by being attacked by a vicious cow. As it was, she was very seriously in jured. He children were playing with the cow 's young calf, w hen tho mother, becoming infuriated, made a charge at the children. Mrs. Sainton, compre hending the danger of her children, rushed to their icsciie, when the cow turned on her, and the woman was un able to defend herself. H. il it not been tor the timely arrival of a neighbor Mrs. Swinton would undoubtedly have heen killed. The woman will recover, al though she was confined to her home several days from the tho injuries bus. tained. Jcst Tin: Tiiino. For many years past the meteorological conditions have not been better for successfully conduct ing the aveiage agricultural pursuit than has been the case this season. The hay crop was saved without any very nia teiial loss on account of rain, and the weather through harvest time was per fection lor the purpose. Just as the hop harvest season opens the climatic con ditions are all that could he hoped for, with good prospects fur a continuation. The value of this condition of allaira cannot be oveiesliuutt'd, and if a con tinuation docs obtain for anotlior fort night Orcj-on farmers will havo exper ienced a season of uuciiualed favorable conditions for their pursuits. Oiiki.iin City ISattkky. Tlie baseball game Sunday on the Hulihard diamond was witnessed by tho largest crowd of tlie season. It was a good game. The Hubbard team went down to defeat at the hands of their opponents was going to say, tho Woodburn team, but after looking over the score book, will say Oregon City, assisted by a few Wood hum boys, for they had the battery and umpire limn Oregon City. But, never theless, it was a good game, and much credit is duo the Woodburn boys for go ing to Oregon City for a battery so as to make tho game more even, for if we had another gamo of 4 to 10 in favor ol either team, the interest in baseball at Hubbard would dio out. The score stood 1(1 to 9 in favor of Woodburn. P.urealie. Uiiadinu tiik Koad. Clearing the right of way and grading for the roadbed of lhenew electric railway line is going on in earnest between Lents and (iresh am. Three camps have been estab lished, one at Lents, another near Syca more and the third about a mile below Gresbam, on the banks of Johnson creek. Thev are all pretty much alike, being composed of canvas messhouses, barns and sleeping quarters. Work is being pushed in both directions from each of them, and extra men are given employ ment as fast as they apply for work. Farmers along the line are given the preference, and many who are done har vesting are at work with their teams. Nearly all the work done so far the psst week has been through cultivated fields. Oerations through heavy timber will be delerred until later, on account of danger from fires, which i 1 be gnarled against. After a heavy rain this danger will he past ami the broken linkn of grading will be connected. Saiumsks in Tiik Com miiia The Columbia river is now full of sardines,! which are being caught for the Astoria j ami Portland iniikeis. Thee fish makel their appciraiico in the Columbia once a' year, coming in large schools, but the run lats only about two weeks. The. lish are of fine quality and are quite as good for canning purposes as those caught on the Atlantic coast. There has been considerable talk in Astoria of starting a sardine ciinnery and it is not unlikely that tho industry may be en-gag-d in there. The shortness of the run would not operate toadisidvantage. as the lish could h'i preserved in cold storage and packed at the convenience of the canner. The N"cariiciun river, at Seaside, is hIsi lull of sardines, and ' campers are supplied wi'h fish for break-1 fast. With the advent of the sardines' comes their na'tpal enemy, the whale, ! and many of llieso monsters can b seen I daily oir the coast. J Hid Mai iiisi!
