The Harvest of the grain crop of Douglas county is fast approaching a highly successful finish. The amount of straw is short, but the turnout of grain is very satisfactory, and now has begun the preparations tor hop picking. The chidren and women, together with the semi-inva lids and old people, are purchasing basket and gloves preparatory to their annual pilgrimage to the hop fields. There does not seem to be in this vicinity any scarcity of pick ers as the acreage is not very large and having the town to draw from makes it easier for the grower; but the price is stiff at fifty cents and will m all probability not go below that and the growers declare that it is impossible to pay more at present prices. The crop is an average in yield and ol very fine quality.-News. Tillamook held a most successful celebration last week.

Some papers are critiebing tlb tefegraplwrs for striking bdcrrC presenting a list of their grievances and waiting to see how their em ployers would regard it. But they know their employers too well to place any reliance upon this method. Only a few months ago the telegraph companies raised rates to patrous from 20 to 50 per cent, and an nounced a raise of loper cent in wages to employes. But the telegraphers say that the companies immediately began to regrade operators, so that in effect wages were not raised as promised. The public was paying its 20 to 50 percent more for ser vice, allright, but by underhanded trickery the operators were in maay if not all cases being defrauded of their little ten per cent increase, and that when they well dtserved it. and even more. The government ought to step in and influence these public-service corporations to pay their employes the wages and grant the hours asked. The demands are reasonable and right. It doesn’t take an expert to see that. These corporations, now combined into a trust, are doing a quasi- public service. Their business is the people’s business, the government's business. The people are willing to pay the in creased rates if necessary to the companie’s success—though they are not willing to pay dividends on two thirds water in their stock—but the people are not willing to see these corporations holding up the the people's business because in their obstinacy and greed they will not pay decent, living wages to their employes.—Jouanal.
