In a decision at Salem Saturday
Judge Burnett of the third judicial
district decided that hop contracts
were not binding. In the case passed
on, a hop grower who had contracted
his crop and had received money ad
vances refused to surrender his crop
to the buyer. The contract had bsen
made during the seasons of cultiva
tion and picking. Judge Burnett

cannot be enforced. Unfortunately
the decision comes too late to be of
benefit to growers generally, as near
ly all those who contracted have sur
rendered their crops.

worried. No trace of the missing
lad could be obtained. The search
was shortly given up, - and matters
allowed to take their course. - The
lad. went away two weeks ago . last
Monday. . '
Last Friday, he returned to his
Corvallis home. - He was met "and
welcomed as though - nothing had
happened . Little by little his story
came out. He had left home with
$1.25 in bis pocket. He went
north along the Westside, hunting
work. There was little or none to
be had. The average . wages offer
ed him was sixty cents per day,
and at that figure, one farmer oi
fered him- half a" day's . work at
dieeine potatoes. Another farmer
offered him the samer figure for
half a day's work of some - other
kind. He accepted - neither be
cause the injury to his only Suit
of clothes would be more than the
thirty cents would amount to.- '
By and by his money ran out,
and subsistance became difficult.
He slept in barns, and ate green
armies. At last his situation be
came more distressing than -.':he
could bear, and he turned his foot
steps homeward. - He knew there
would be a father's and mother's
welcome and abundance ot every
thing there. He is under-, the fam
lly roof now, and realizes as never
before.' how precious after all, is
home. :
HE'S A LULU
So She Said But she Callea Him Post
Instead of Coach. -
With" the season at its height,
football is much discussed, now.
All those who talk about .it, are
not familiar with the game, its ev
blutions, appurtenances and lore,
An old inhabitant learned for the
first time that the Washington el
even won out over the OAC men,
not by field movements, line-bucks
and such, but by two place kicks,
"Gosh," he said "Dew place kicks
count? Then let 'em put my
mother-in-law in as a main kicker
in the next game OAC hez, and
they'll win. I tell ye she kin kick
harder and find the place oftener
than anything that wears shoe
leather, ez I hev full- reason ter
know." - ;
An uninitiated lady, deeply inter
ested in the game, ventured her
opinion as to whether or not OAC
would win at Seattle. She had
full confidence in Coach Herbold,
but in referring to him; she used
the word ''Post" for "Coach,"
"Oh I tell ye we'll win," she said
enthusiastically. "Seattle aint got no
post as good as we got. Mr Herbold,
he's our post, and he's a lulu.
What he don't know about : being
post, aint worth . knowing. Oh,
yes indeed, in foot ball, the post is
the main -thing."

Missionary Tea r
A Presbyterian Missionary Tea will be
given next Wednesday afternoon at
Mrs J B Horner's. Almost cordial in
vitation is extended to all.
The delinquent 1 list is in the
hands of Sheriff Burnett, ' for Jinal
collection of taxes. 7 It is accompan
ied by a warrant" 'which, commands
that officer . to "advertise and sell
property on which taxes continue
to, remain unpaid. - '
; Under the new law, the sheriff
is not required toTlevy on the pro
perty, nor to serve notice on the de-
These steps were form
erly necessary but the new, law
eliminates them from the proceed
ing. : Accordingly, it stands de
linquents in hand to square up mat
ters without further delay. Mean:
time, interestrat 12 per cent; is run
ning against all upaid taxes, in 'ad
dition to the 10 per cent penalty.
So far, the sheriff has set no date
for the sale of property. It is : nec
essary to advertise at least four
weeks before the date of thesale. "-
Under the new law, a feature of
change is that at tax sales the pro
perty does not go to the highest
bidder. It goes to the buyer or
bidder who will pay the amount of
the taxes, and charge the least in
terest. For instance, if Jones bids
the amount of the taxes on certain
advertised property and offers to
charge 12 per cent interest, and
Smith offers to" charge but eight
per cent, Smith gets the property.
The purpose of the law is to enable
delinquents, if they elect to redeem
the property, to get it back at the
lowest possible interest rate.
