HOPPICKING BEGINS.
Willamette Valley Fields Alive With
Nlmblo Fingers.
The West Side Enterprise of Inde
pendence says of the opening of the
hopplcklng seasson:
Twelve thousand active pickers,
21,000 flexible arms; 120,000 nimble
fingers are now at work In the Inde
pendence hop fields. The body of
pickers Is now here though there are
still some coming In dally.
Monday, Tuesday nnd Wednesday
the streets of Independence were
live with the arriving pickers. The
streets are by no means deserted yet,
but most of the pickers have found
their way to the various hopyards and
are living In the tented cities In the
fields and groves. Every large hop
yard now represents a live-awake vil
lage of 200 to 1000 Inhabitants.
There Is no lack of life around the
hopyard cities. The stores, amuse
ment halls, merry-go-rounds, music,
singing, horse racing and other diver
sions serve to enliven the scenes and
lend a charm that tends to fascinate
people with hopyard life.
Picking, too, has begun In most of
the yards, though not all, and at 50
cents a box many have already start
ed their little hopplcklng bank ac.
count.
Though the country seems to be
alive with people who have been com
ing In one continuous procession the
past week, the yards are not overrun
with pickers. In fact a number of the
smaller yards are looking out for more
pickers.

ITALIANS WANT THEIR PAY.
Con.
Fight for Women's Rights Will 30
Continued Without Rest.
A well attended meeting of the
Oregon Woman Suffrage association
was held at the local headquarters
yesterday afternoon and reports read
showing that the members have not
begun to feel discouraged over the re
cent defeat of the movement, says the
Portland Oregonlan.
Mrs. Henry Waldo Coe, president of
the state organization, was In the
chair and spoke most encouragingly
of the future work of the suffragists.
The prevailing sentiment seemed to be
that Oregon women must fight their
own battle In the future nnd It Is al
most an assured fact that the next
campaign will be conducted almost
entirely by resident suffragists.
The white ribboners were conspicu
ous by their absence at yesterday's
meeting and the tempest In a teapot
which was rather expected "did not
materialize. Many communications
from various parts of the state were
read and the general tone was en
couraging,
Attempt to Mob Malinger of a
struct Ion Company.
A Lewtston dispatch says:
A mob of furious Italian laborers at
2 o'clock this afternoon made a de
termined attack on F. X. La Doux,
manager of the Inland Construction
company, mobbed him and would have
seriously injured If not killed him but
for the timely nnd effective Interfer
ence of Officer Tabor, who arrived
quickly upon the scene and fought off
the infuriated foreigners.
With his hand resting on hU
weapon, Officer Tabor warned the
Italians to desist from their attempt
at violence. He threatened to shoot
down the first man who laid a hand
Mr. La Doux. This resulted in
cooling down the ardor of the mob.
The inob marched to the offices of
the Inland Construction company,
where Erlckson Peterson's paymas
ter Is making settlement, and con
tinued their threats of bodily Injury.
Huddled closely at the main entrance
of the Thlessen building the men
waited for their pay for labor per
formed during the month of August
The men were given time memoran
dums and considerable dlssatlsfactiou
was expressed when It was noticed
that the paper handed them was not
bank check. Another matter which
did not have the tendency to make thk
men feel good was the fact that the
memorandums bore a note In the left
hand corner, printed In red Ink, say
ing that these slips are not negotiable
and are subject to correction.
'A bath cleanses the skin and rids
the pores of refuse. A bath make

Not only should the outside of the
body be cleansed, but occasional use

"We disavow all relations with Salt
Lake nnd we are antl-polygamists In
the fullest sense of the word," an
nounced one of the missionaries in
addressing last night's gathering. "We
also do not believe In the Adam-God
nor In the blood atonement Blood
atonement consists in cutting the
necks of those who are to become
aposthltes."
There are about 10 or 12 members
of the Reorganized Latter Day Saints
at present In Lewlston and It Is hoped
to swell this membership to 100 before
the mission here has been completed.
Elder Chat burn nnd Mr. Fordliam

of the'r expenses were defrayed ty

ceive any salary, and that no collec
tions are taken up at their meetings

Hlrslg brothers of Cheyenne have
gained a great reputation ss produc
ers of fine range cattle, says the
Omaha Journal-Stockman. They
have bred up their herds until It
would be hard work to find any finer
cattle than theirs on the range. Mon
day they had in a bunch, among them
one lot of 1438-pound steers, which
sold at 15.20. The fact that they did
not consider them their best cattle
will give some Idea of the kind of
stock they are producing. Moreover,
these cattle were strictly rangers, not
having been on hay feed during the
winter.

What JoyThey Bring
To Every Home
as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play when in health
and how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor
life they enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and
the wholesome diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health
should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of
every medicine of an injurious or objectionable nature and if at any time a
remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence
should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial
in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by
the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in
many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and
excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use.
Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, be
cause they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform
all reputable physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained,
by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most benefici
ally and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian
.blue figs are. used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret rem
edy and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not
approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication.
Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup
of Figs always has the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co.
plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in
bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty
cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do net
accept it. If you fail to get the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects.
Every family should always have a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial
