phone tongue lashings for Mr. Lowe
from irate female pa trans who have
a multitude of grievances to relate
against the "hello girls," the line
men, the instruments, tbe manager,
and the whole "consarned concern."
Mr. Lowe is meek and lowly; be
takes his medicine like a man and
does not "sass back," but he has
firmly resolved that, if all females
are as psrpery-tongued as thosa he
has to deal with over the wires, he
will forever remain a bschelor. Tbe
cause of all his woe is the change
that is being made in the Indepen
dent system to give patrons a bet
ter service f ir their money.

According to reports from all sec
tions of the state, local dealers esti
mate that 20 per cent of the hop

have been killed, and that the ef

1906 holdiagB in dealers' and grow
ers' hands at least five cents per
pound within the present week.

extreme draught of the summer,
which ' sapped the vitality of the
roots, followed by the winters'

froze the crowns cf the 'stands. In
some cases reported alrmst entire
yards will have to be replanted.
