The county court last evening decided
to build the road to the Blue river
mine and appropriated I J. 600 for this
purpose. Commissioner Russell op
posed the proposed road for the reason
that he Vas not satisfied that It would
be of any service, holding that the value
or the mines had not yet .been suffl
clently established to warrant the
county in expending large sum In road
building In that section.
Tbe court also provided for a com
plete system of water work afthd poor
rarm where bathe will be put In and
ample Ore. protection provided.. The
water will be pumped and either a small
engine-will be installed for this purpose
or a windmill erected. .
The court ha decided to at one be
gin the needed repair te the plera of
the Sanderson bridge near this city.
The steel pier stand on piling, and the
action of the water ha exposed the
pile so that the- pier are in danger.
It la proposed to put in brush mattresses

Salem. Or, Aug. With the warm
weather of the past week continuing,
hop-plcklng -time-1 rapidly approaching
and grower are beginning to scour the
citlee and country for picker. The fact
that harvest will not be a long as usual
and the prune crop 1 almost a total fail
ur In place will- In certain measure
relieve the situation In the hopyards.
Ths price to be paid wilt be about the
same a last year, which ranged from 40
cent in a few Instance to as high as (0
cents in poor yards, the average price
being tt enta.
The growing crop Is coming on In
splendid shape, and the crop to be har
vested will, in eaae no adverse ciunatio
conditions interfere, be a fin aa waa
ever produced in Oregon, and far better
in quality than laat year, it is inougni
thst ths crop will be a large or nearly
a large a last year. A usual, the best
crops are to be found In the low lands,
preferably river-bottom land. -
It ia thought that picking win begin
at about the same time aa laat year
that 1. from September 1 to 10.
There continues to be a alight move
ment of old hops, many of the dealers
disposing of crop they have been hold
ing for month. Whll tney are not
realising the price they expected, yet
n moat case the hop were bought at
a much lower price, and they will real-
se good profit on the Investment, ti.
O. Schucklng Is reported to have recent
ly aold at lot of hops, which hs haa been
holding for some time, at zs cent a
pound, and Louis Lachmund Co. a few
day ago purchased 71 bale of the last
year crops for 2t cents a pound.- Just
at present there seem to be no market
for contracts, as the orders have been
withdrawn, whll It I likely that con
tract for to cent could still be
made, yet farmer are not in a
condition to contract. With few excep
tions thoy are now In condition to pick
their crops without borrowing monsy.
and think 'they can aa well afford to
speculate on. the price. There ha not
been a season In Oregon for om time
when the contract and advaftc sales
have been so light aa the present year.
Speaking of the outlook generally.
Conrad Krebs, Vme of Ba ism's hop-dealers
and grffwers. said:
The prssent hot weather I favorable
to the production of a fine quality of
hops, and no vermin can possibly exist
under present cllmatlo conditions. If
this heat continues, the yield will be
considerably below expectations, but the
price will be accordingly higher and suf
ficient compensation for whatever short
age occur.
The picking eason I rapidly ap
proaching, and many growers are mak
ing arrangements for pickers, who seem
to be plentiful thl year, poaslbly due
to inactivity of other enterprlsea.
The pel. for picking will be the
am a Inst year. Owing to 'the
scarcity of foliage, pickers will have.

My brother waa' teatlng an auto-lighter on a small-pressure tank in the muohine shop. Thl tank la In no way
connected with an automobile, but I specially arranged for the purpose for which it waa being used, and contained
perhaps two quart of gasoline, under about it pounds air pressure. My -brother evidently Intended to remove a reg
ulating valve beyond the cutoff, which could have been done safely under any circumstances; but instead, for some
unaccountable reason, removed the cutoff vslve under pressure. This caused the gasoline to -flow out, saturating his
'Clothing, as he worked In a stooping position over the tank directly In line with' the flow of gasoline. He undertook
to stop the flow by putting his thumb over the opening." This caused the gasoline to be forced back and up over the
igniter, where it found a lurking spark, causing the flre. II repeatedly aald after the aoctdent that' be thought the
fir Was all sxtlngulshed. ' t. ,. ; -
Two men were standing within arm's reuch of him at the time, and endeavored to grasp him a he sprang to hi '
feet and ran through the machine shop Into the enrage, where they overtook htm and Smothered the flame with blanket.
' The fir -in the machine ahop wa theneaaily extinguished without damage. The sensational and harrowing report
' that he was blown 40. feet, that aa automobile waa .blown Into; a mass of twisted iron and wood, and tha building

- - My brother was able to assist In disrobing himself, and was perfectly rational for about kn hour, when he be
