Old Friends Meet Again at
Annual Home Town
Reunion
SILVEItTON. Sept. 1 "I
have enjoyed the friendship of
many Silvertonians for the past
42 years," said Frank Davey of
Portland, one of the speakers at
BUrerton's Home Coming held In
the Coolldge and McClaine Park
Sunday. "And." Mr. Davey con
tinued, "no city of its dimensions
has turned out more men of note
In the last 60 years, than has Sil
verton." Rer. Albyn Esson of Albany,
Another of the speakers, spoke on
his. early life at Silverton. He
told ttmt his father came here in
1659 and that he himself was
born on Howell Prairie. Later
Iter. Mr. Esson was pastor of the
Christian church here for a num
ber of years.
Judge McMahan of Salem,
much against his expressed wish
iea, was forced to respond to an
insistent call for a talk. Judge
McMahan talked briefly on early
days at Sllverton, and more at
length on what he termed "the
destruction, rather than the de
velopment of natural resources."
His parting shot was that he hop
ed he had "planted into the minds
or some of yon Borne ideas of po
litical economy. Hard times are
the result more of the foolishness
of the public men handling pub
lic 'affairs than anything else."
W. 8. Jack, a Silverton pioneer,
talked on his early days here. He
was of the opinion that In the
present day people lived too fast.
"All winter," he said, "we hurry
to get ready for summer, and all
summer we hurry to get ready for
winter."
. J'ormet Teachers There
- Mr. Jack also called special at
tention to Mrs. E. J. Brown, who
was" in the audience, and who' had
been his teacher at Silverton 68
years ago.
Dan E. Oeiser was the last
npaker for the afternoon. He;
too, spoke briefly on early days at
Silverton, dwelling particularly
on the time when he attended the
school In which Jim Smith was
teaching. Mr. Smith is one of
Silverton's pioneers who was in
the audience Sunday.
The picnickers began arriving
early in the morning and at noon

Dust Wne Thick
In olden days, lads and lassies
on their way to Sunday school
were dasted by "rigs" ef people
driving out from Salem to show
their visitors the view. Later oa
they came in cars, but cars or
buggies, they invariably turned
around and retraced their way in
stead of making the loop over the
hills to Oak Grove and bach to
Salem by way of the Dallas road
for the riad from the Hayden cor
ner was so narrow and tortuous
that for most of its length it was
impossible for two vehicles to
pass. Of late years traffic has so
Increased that the need for a hot
ter road had become imperative.
Feminine cinb and grange
members of Orchard Heights and
Oak Grove entertained their sis
ter organisations under difficul
ties, for though the neighborhoods
join. It was an intrepid lady au
toist who would brave the hill
road in winter.
Much grubbing and blasting
was done to clear the way
through the timber for th new
road aad several fills were made
to relieve the grade. A tamble
bug scraper with a 20 team capa
city was used for this work. The
road is amply wide for passing
and is covered with fine gravel its
entire length.
A scenic view, like a prophet,
"is not without honor save la his
own country." See Polk county
first.

HOP PICKING SOON ON
e e e
Season Means Much to Pickers in the Fields
GROWERS UNCERTAiN
By HELEN SADLER
AURORA, Sept. 1. Hop picking
has begun. It Is is the sir. The
swimming holes are deserted aad
ther is bustle and excitement
everywhere, getting the last things
done, before the family leaves
home for the yards. The energy
which has been stored np by a tew
weeks in the woods, by the rip
pling stream, or the healing health
giving rays of the sun, or the salt
air from the restless ocean, is be
ing turned into dollars.
To many, the hop yard is not
only the most beautiful of fields,
with its graceful drooping clusters,
its pungent odor, and fresh air,
but Is most healthful and offers
a summer vacation for many from
the head of the house down to the
wee ones that play about the yard.
A vacation that could not other
wise be managed. To others hop
picking is just a lark and a little
extra pin money. To the children
of the large family, it means they
must make every move count, if
the get their term at school, and
be clothed in such a manner, as
not to draw unfavorable comment
from the class mates. Te the old It
means another winter of compara
tive comfort In the little home. "o
the apparently care free flapper
(bless her), wh by her witty sal
les of laughter, brings smiles to
the drawn faces near her, it may
mean the much needed medical at
tention, which will bring surcease
to the pain racked loved one at
home; To many it represents the
entire winter's wardrobe. To an
other It is just a few days respite
from absolute despair.
In this community particularly,
a hop yard is a most democratic
meeting ground. A place where
kindliness and thriftiness is an in
heritance from the first settlers.
Here it is considered honorable
to "do what your hand finds to
do." To be economical and indus
trial. If one is more fortunate
than ones neighbor, to share un
ostentatiously ones blessings with
him.
The wives and children or pros
perous business men rub shoulders
with the itinerant, and through
natural courtesy, neither are em
barrassed. In the aggregate, how
ever, the local hops are harvested
by those living in the community.
It is a matter of congratulation
that Aurora maintains her unusu
al democracy.
But, to the grower, what does
hop picking mean? Uncertainty?
Yes,and a heavy expense. The cost
of production and harvesting has
increased to such an extent, that
if the price is low, the grower sus
tains a greater loss than in any
other crop. If he has supernatural
power or is a good gudeser, it is
a great game and a profitable one.
It not, he takes his loss.
