TAKES MORE MONEY NOW
COSTS MORE TO LIVE AND HANDS
MIST GET MORE PAY.
Advance of Ten to Fifteen Per Cent
at Oregon City Woolen Mill ra-
per Mill Mea Also Ask More.
OREGON CITT. April 6. The woolen
mill hands express satisfaction at the
Increase of wages granted by the man
agement, although the pay that they are
now receiving is less than It was before
the panic Beforo the period of "hard
times," that struck the country a few
years ago. the weavers in this mill were
making an average of J45 to J50 per month,
but their pay was cut down until the
average compensation was about $32 per
month. Under the new schedule of wages
the weavers were given an advance of
about 15 per cent, while workmen in
other departments received average ad
vances of 10 per cent. Unskilled workmen
In some departments had only been re
ceiving about U per day.
The recent dissatisfaction among the
hands was caused by the increase of the
cost of living, some of the men with
families stating that on this account It
was impossible to keep their grocery bills
paid up with the wages that they wera
receiving. Many of the hands employed
in tha mills have worked thero for years,
and submitted to a reduction of wages
when prices were low without murmuring.'
but say that tho present condition of high
prices for manufactured goods, without
any Increase of pay, made them dissat
isfied. The weavers asked for increase
of pay and It was granted without any
haggling. The girls in the spooling-room.
who walked out the other day. were do
ing piecf work, and when a new foreman
shut dpwn on tho loose way of measur
ing that had been practiced for some time
the girls found out that they could not
make their accustomed wages. The man
agement, however, adjusted the matter
satisfactorily, and the strikers returned
to work within an hour.
Yesterday IS men employed in one de
partment In the Willamette Paper Mills
gave notice that they would ask for an
increase of pay. These men are unskilled
laborers, and ask that their pay be in
creased from II 50 to Jl 73 per day.

SCHOOL LAND INQUIRY
MUCH INTEREST MANIFESTED El
VARIOUS SECTIONS.
Answers of the Land Board to Im
portant Questions Asked Hop
Situation Discussed.
SALEM, April 5. About two weeks age
mention was made in The Oregonian ot
the fact lhat Clerk M. L. Chamberlln, ot
the State Land Board, had issued in one
day 17 certificates of sales of state land,
the price paid for the land being $1 25 per
acre. This item seems to have attracted
wide attention, for It has caused numer
ous Inquiries to be poured Into the state
land office, every mall swelling the num
ber. Some ot the more common questions
and answers are as follows:
"Does tha land mentioned In The Ore
gonian Include the nth and Mth sections
and Ilea lands?"
Answer "Yes. The State Land Board is
authorized to sell all lands acquired by
grant from the United States at not less
than $1 25 per acre, except swamp and
overflowed lands, which shall be sold at
not less than $1 per acre, and except In
demnity schools lands selected under the
provisions of the act approved February
IS, 1S95, how Unsold, and to which no
valid right to purchase has attached,
which are withdrawn from sale. It is
provided, however, that no lands which
have reverted or shall hereafter revert to
the state by reason of the non-payment
of the balance of the purchase-money or
Interest thereon shall be sold for a less
price than that for which they were orig
inally sold, and also that not moro than
S20 acres of any one kind of land shall
be sold to one person."
"Can further lieu lands be selected in
Curry at this timer
Answer "Lieu lands can be selected in
any part of the state where there is un
occupied Government land, subject to
homestead entry. The person who desires
to purchase the land may designate the
tract subject to entry and the State Land
Agent will select it as lieu land. It can
then be purchased from the state."
"If a man locates on a piece of unoccu
pied land. Improves It. etc, and after tha
same has been surveyed. It is found to be
in a school section, is there any way he
can get a patent on the same?"
Answer "The settler Is allowed 90 days
from the time the land Is declared open
for settlement to make a filing thereon:
If he does not make this filing within tha
prescribed time, the land Inures to tha
state: If he completes his entry patent
will Issue to him from the Government."
An Opinion on nops.
H. J. Ottenhelmer. representative of
LUIenthal Co.. and one of tha best
known hopbuyers of this section, was to
day asked- for a statement of his views
of the hop market, so far as It concerns
the Oregon Hopgrowers' Association. He
said:
"While the association has not been as
successful as some people have hoped. It
certainly has been a great benefit to all
the hopgrowers. There Is no question In
ibt mind that were It not for the asso
ciation, hops would have been selling at
2 and 3 cents per pound ever since Jan
uary L At the start some growers feared
that the pooling of a part of the hops
would only result in giving those outside
the pool a chance to sell, while those In
the association would get left. But tha
result proved differently. Not only has
the association enabled outsiders to sell,
but it has sold and Is selling large quan
tities ot hops of its own at better prices
than those sold outside.
"For a long time buyers were enabled to
buy outside of the association to better
advantage than from the-association, but
now that all the weak holders have let
go. the association Is stronger than ever.
When the association was first formed
there were at least 50 per cent of the
hops outside of the association, but now
the association controls over SO per cent
of the stock remaining, so that they vir
tually can control the situation If the
growers only stick together.
"The stock, in California is almost ex
hausted, what little is left Is held 'at
good figures by firm holder, and the
same can be said of Washington.
"The Oregon association has the key to
tho situation, and If its members will
stand firm, and stick together, the offi
cers will have no difficulty In disposing of
all the hops on hand at good prices. In
order to sustain and enhance values,
growers should stick together and work
In unison. It would be suicidal to break
away from the association at this stage
of the game. Now Is the cruclcal test,
nnd If growers will stick it out for Si
or 40 days longer they will win the day.
"If those growers outside of the pool
would stand firm and not cut under tha
association's prices they will get better
prices than by tumbling over each other
in their efforts to sell. There is no use In
trying to force sales: the demand for all
grades Is good, and It certainly looks as
If prices have reached bedrock.
"Should we get any unfavorable crop
reports from England and Europe, there
will be a much stronger demand for th
'99 crop, and In this event the association
by good management will get a great deal
more for the remaining crop than the In
dividual grower."
Other prominent buyers express them
selves In very much the same tone as
tho foregoing, thus giving reassurance
and encouragement to the growers who
have their hops In the combine.
"Wool and Mohair.
Dealers in wool and mohair report that
there Is a slight falling off In prices that
Is very unsatisfactory. Mohair started In
this season at 23 cents In Salem, but tha
quotation is 27 now. Most of the goats
have been sheared, and the hair will be
on the market In a few days. So far as
quality is concerned, the dealers Bay ther
is as yet no perceptible Improvement. A
large number of thoroughbred goats hava
been Imported into this vicinity with'n
the last year, and it is expected that a
very great Improvement In the quality of
the product will be noticed In the next
two years.
As sheep shearing will not begin in
Marlon County until some time next
month. It cannot be said that there is at
present a market price or wool. A quan
tity of wool was recently sold at 20 cents,
but it is" thought that this is too high a
price for producers to expect.
Bad for Cycle Paths.
Tho attempt to convict Samuel Ramp
of the offense of driving on a bicycle path
and the failure of the Jury to agree on
a verdict, was one of the chief topics ot
discussion in Salem today. Owners of bi
cycles axe up In arms, and propose to keep
up their fight until they succeed In pun
ishing some offender severely enough to
deter others from Injuring the paths. They
say that the paths have been constructed
entirely by the uso of money contributed
by bicyclists, and that their rights should
bo regarded.
A meeting of the Marlon County Cycle
Association has been called for next Mon
day evening, for the election of officers.

To sacrifice beauty, disposition and health
to a false idea is folly. Generations of ignor

of monthly suffering. A healthy woman
should experience but little pain and only- a
moderate amount of inconvenience.

Mrs. Van Cleft Advises Women,
"Dear Mrs. Pinkham For several years my health was
miserable. I suffered the most dreadful pains, and was almost
on the verge of insanity. I consulted one of the best physi
cians in New York, and he pronounced my disease a fibroid'
tumor, advising an operation without delay, saying that it was
my only chance for life. Other doctors prescribed strong and
violen" medicine, and one said I was incurable, another told
me my only salvation was galvanic batteries, which I tried,
but nothing relieved me. One day a friend called and begged
me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I began
its use and took several bottles. From the very first bottle
there was a wonderful change for the better. The tumor has
disappeared entirely and my old spirits have returned. I
heartily recommend your medicine to all suffering women."
