Hop-picking, which was about two-thirds finished, was hindered for a day or two, but the hops are not injured. Gilbert R. Mpser, who just re turned from Mt. Mood where he had been after huckleberries, says that tjie cold weather did nbt injure tne huckleberry crop as it did culti vated fruits. There are bushels and bushels of berries taken out of the hills every day, and hundreds of people from different parts of the state are there picking the much cherished fruit.

Monday the road was not improved and ear after car stopped in the mud hole.

A car without a driver, license number or back wheel, stands by the roadside east of here. During the night it skidded in a ditch and broke the rear wheel. No one seems to know who the machine be longs to. The fact that the license number is misisng, it is said, leads people in that vicinity to believe that there is some mystery amni. the matter.
