C. White is suffering with a broken right aim, Mr. White has two or three fractured ribs and Miss Georgia White is bruised and lamed by an accident that befell the family as they were en route home from their outing at Yachaats. It hap pened about 20 miles beyond the Alsea store and on a steep grade. As Mr. White came to ward Corvallis he met J. H. Har ris going in the opposite direction en route to the coast with his son for an outing. The grade was steep and too narrow tor the teams to pass, seeing which Mr. White attemped to back his horses a few feet, where the road widened sufficiently to allow Mr. Harris to drive on. The bank caved off, however, and the White wagon turned over, throwing the three occupants to the ground, the results of the ac cident being as stated above. V Mr. White and family reached home Friday evening, Mrs. White receiving no medical attention for her broken arm until their arrival. The fracture is near the shoulder on the right arm and was badly swollen and very pain ful. She is now resting as com fortably as could be expected. It was a sorry ending to an other wise pleasant outing.

Mr. Albert Phenis, staff corres pondent of the Manufacturers' Persons renting hop yards are having considei able trouble in many cases to secure picking money. It will require 5 cents per pound to pick and dry the hopa but in ibe present state of the market no one wants to loan that amount on the crop. The total cost of raising hopB on a rented yard is about 10 cents per pound, and it looks at present as though the renter will not only lose his work for the past year, but be will also be out his living expenses. Thus far there have been a number of bop crops contracted fo r in this county and the contract price in nearly all cases is 10 cents per pound. In only one case has a higher price been offered when the contract price was fixed at II cents. It is not too late, however, for the market to take a change for tbe better.
