FOUND DEAD IN BED
William Tate Expires Suddenly at
His Home Near Falls City.
William Tate, an old-time resident
of Polk County, was found dead in
his bed at an early hour yesterday
morning at his home near Falls City.
The old gentleman had apparently
been enjoying his usual good health,
and had retired in the best of spirits
the night before. When his wife went
to awaken him in the morninp, she
was horrifled to find him lying cold
in death. Mr. Tate was about 76 years
old, and was spry and hearty for a
man of his age. He leaves a wife and
several grown sons and daughters.
Burial will take plaoo this afternoon.
Labor Day was appropriately
observed in Dallas. The exercises
lasted from 7 a. m. until 6 p. m.
and consisted principally of pick
ing hops, hauling wheat, sawing
lumber, building houses, digging
waterworks ditches, ballasting track
on the new railroad, grading the
courthouse square, and getting
prune driers in readiness for opera
tion. Instrumental music was
furnished at the opening and clos
ing of the program by the steam
whistles at the sawmill, planing house in the south end of town is

GOOD HARVEST WEATHER
Hop and Prune Picking Progressing
Under Favorable Conditions.
The weather of the past week has
been favorable to harvesting opera
tions, and the hop and prune crops
are being saved in good shape. Some
of the hop men have had considerable
difficulty in securing pickers, a state
of affairs that has caused them much
anxiety. Several of the smaller crops
have been finished, however, and it is
believed ' that pickers will be more
plentiful from this time on. The
middle or last of next week will see
the end of the picking season in Polk
County. The growers have begun
baling their hops and hauling them
to the warehouses. No samples have
as yet been pulled from any of the lots
around Dallas, but it is the general
opinion among hop men that the crop
will be of excellent quality. It is too
early in the season to make a reliable
estimate of the number of bales that
will be produced in Polk County, but
the yield so far has fallen slightly be- ger of the Dallas & Tails City railroad
