worship since the Christian church
at Silverton was built about 39
years ago.

Fort una Ajuvat." The oldest mem
ber of the clan Is John Propst of

Two-Year-0lcT Hopyards in
Best of Condition;
Clover Fine
BETHANY, June 21 One
of the finest fields of corn in
the Bethany community is that
found on the Alvin English farm
Hover Hazel Dell way. Some of
the corn will measure almost
four feet high and there is a
big field of it.
A still larger field with corn
showing almost as good growth
is that on the Charles Schme
dick farm near Pudding river.
Seemingly the two-year old
hop yards here in Bethany are
the best of the lot this season.
Few of the newly planted hops
look promising and many of the
old yards are not so good. Oscar
Satern In the Haiel Dell school
district has one of the finest
young yards about. His brother,
Harold in the Bethany School
district, also has an excellent
yard. Neither of these yards can
be seen from the main traveled
highways. The Gaffke yards near
those of Oscar Satern are very
good, and the Morley yards along
the pavement near Pudding river
are making a fine showing. Sev
eral other yards seen in a drive
through here are very spotted.
Harvesting Barley
Barley, already in the hands
of the reaper, is attracting no
tice along the Torvend road. The
hay crop has been exceptional
and indications are for a splen
did second crop of clover. The
long line of rambler 'Toses on
the Harding farm has given the
passing motorist much pleasure.
