PICKERS BEING SECURED
FOR HOP HARVEST

Engaging. People to Gather
This Year's Crop.

Salem, Or., June IJ. Within the next
two months there will be within
radlua of 11 or It miles from Salem
population of nearly 30.000 people Hying
In tenta and engaged In the harvesting
of ths hop crop. v . . ,
Notwithstanding the prevailing low
prices of hoys and tha loaaea austalned
last year by soma of tha growers, ths
capital Investsd in tha hop Industry Is
so large that every effort will be used
to facilitate the harvesting or toe crop.
Last year the hopgrowera experienced
a scarcity of pickers throughout ths
sesson which In some caaes proved
severe injury because the hops were
partially apoiled before they were gath
ered. This will' not occur again If the
growers an prexent It. Some of the
hopmen are now engaging help and when
the season begins ,t her -pickers will, be
encamped on. the grounda ready for the

Good prices for picking will prevail
and much-will V dona to. present to the
hop pickers tne comforts or noma me.
made more exhilarating ty tne - pure,
wholesome -air of tha hopf lelds.
The scarcity-- of help last year . was
caused In a measure by tha Inclemency
of the weather and various avenues of
employment opened to hundreds by ths
Centennial - exposition held In Portland
who would have been dependent other
wise upon the gathering of the . hop
crop for their means of sustenance. It
can hardly be estimated wnat amount
of ' money Is earned by a family con
sisting of tha parents and several chil
dren during- the hop-picking season.
Ulrls who have been accustomed to
work for S or tt a' week In tha city
restaurants are glad to take their de
parture to .the hopf lelds and put In sev
eral weeks In an .occupation In which
pleasure and profit Is intermingled.
Many a girl maker her tt and f S a day
gathering hope. To the poor the hop
Industry Is a godsend.
It is stated that the Clement Horst
yards hare engaged already 400 pickers
and that ' they are 'besieged by letters
asking- for Jobs. The well-known hop-
ysrds operated by the Kreba brother a,
near. Independence, . are likewise secur
ing help. Most of the applications- for
work come from the counties of Polk.
Marion, Linn and Lane, but Portland
and -other Willamette 5raUey.tOwng.jrlU

. Many will oome from other states,
some on account of . tha outing and
norelty of tha experience rather than
the- remuneration to he gotten, by. i

At tha Kreb yards pleasure devices
and amusements have been amply sup
plied. The management maintains an
orchestra snd the laborers give a dance
nightly. -Tha dance hall is one of the

ANCIENT CAVES OF IRELAND
There has Just been published by tha
Royal ' Irish academy a bulky report
gnths lesult vt threw -years' f expjora-1
tlon work among tha caves of County
Clara. - No fewer than 70.000 speci
mens of. bones jrere forwarded in par
cels to tne Dublin museum for identl
rication. lacn of these parcels waa
Carefully labeled, bearing a number cor
responding with map of the cava
giving tha exact position and depth from
ths surface at which the specimens were
Obtained. The bulk of jtha material col
lected consisted of bones of various ani
mals. Including man, and these throw an
interesting light on ths old-time fauna
of Ireland. Among the mora Important
mammalian remains were bones of the
brown beer, wblf, arctic fox, emtio
lemming, ' Irish . elk, red deer, reindeer,
ox and wild boar.
' One rather surprising discovery is
that the - bones of the wildcat, which
occurred in some - numbers, belonged
not to tha European, but to an African
species, known as the Caffer cat (Fells
ocreata). The larger of these caves fur
nlahed dwelling places for prehistoric
men, rpr arrowneaas ana otner Imple
ments of flint and bone, as well as
bronze Ornaments, have been recovered,
many In a perfect state of preservation:
and ..these were associated with human
remains. From the form of the bones
of the ankle Joint It would appear that
these 'skeletons represent the remains
of people who habitually assumed a
squstttng posture, aa Is done by many
savage races todsy. Chsreoal aad burnt
atonea afford further evidence as to
the use of these csves. .
- Ornaments . belonging " to the esrly
Christian, era. Including a gold bracelet.
brans pin and buckle, show that these
same eaves were used, at least tempo
rarily by much--later generations' Of
men. Artificially fractured bones of
tha Irish s!k and reindeer show that
these animals were hunted, at any rata,
by the earliest human Inhabitants 'of
tha Island; but they probably were soon
exterminated. Wolvea, however, - sur
vived until comparatively recent times.
The exact data of their final extermi
nation ,la not -known, but they existed
In the greet forests on th borders of
