- Mrs. A. 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.

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. Albany Herald,
Misses Francis Belknap and Carrie
Buchanan are at Cascadia for their vaca
