-It Is a usual thing- for pickers to oome
to th hop fields with barely) enough
money to pay their fare here, and as a
result they will either be compelled to
pick tho bops at whatever figure thai
growers offer or else- walk homo.
' According to some of the large grow

to bring gbout materially lower prices.

the hops mature very slowly. Th ab

have their yards picked, for during for

two more fires have-started in th sum

wood la the property of the C. R. Davis

they ar utterly powerless to save wood

The fire Of Saturday night started In
Deer creek ravine. In green timber be
longing to Minnesota loggers, and swept
up the bills on both sides of th ravin.
Aa aoon as Mr. Davis read of It In yes
terday's Journal he went to Hoi brook
and spent tho day looking through the
timber la tho neighborhood of hla wood
camp, to see if ho oould find any sign
of firs or any trace of inosndiarlea, He
saw nothing to arouse his fears, but
heard reports af a sua la the band of
some hunter. He returned to Portland,
and no sooner had no reached home than
he was called over the telephone, by
hla foreman at Hotbrook. who said that
fir had broken etui la the woe oasnp,
and everything then waa Ureaeeoed
with destruction.
fiteriy this morning b left agam for
Holbrook. It was useless to take help
to the scene, as his foreman said that
all the- men In Portland couldn't ston
th fire." Whoa morning oame a.OOO
oords of his wood has been destroyed.
and etnoe that hour th fir has raged
la the oordwood all day. Tha wind la
blowing from tho northeast today, and
the fire Is running from Rooky Point
southwest to Olencoe, a distance of tour
miles. - . .
There are settlers and small farm on
tho creek and up along the eld of the
mountain, and all of tha property win
probably be destroyed. The - flea la
threatening Kirk Hoover sawmill, and
this plant, together with the oordwood
and other property. - will probably ba

the Patterson farm, and will destory its
buildings and crops In storage, as welt
