Extract From Recent Report of State
Labor Commissioner O. P. Hoff.
The hop plant has been known on
the continent of Europe for ages, and
its cultivation for commercial pur
poses has been carried on for about
500 years. The first known attempt at
growing the plant in the United States
was in 1648. Up to 1890, New York
was the principal hop growing state
of the Union. Oregon today lays
claim to producing more hops than
any other state.
In 1899 there were 16 counties in the
United States producing one million
pounds of hops each, and first ou the
list stood Marion, county, Oregon,
with a credit of 5,750,G88 pounds;
eighth on the list stood Polk county,
with 2,633,800 pounds. The state
average on production is about 956
pounds per acre.
Oregon produced 8 pounds of
marketable hops in 1850; 493 in I860;
9,745 in 1870 ; 244,371 in 1880; 3,613,726
in 1890; 14,765,577 in 1900, and 15,660,000
in 1903.
In 1903 there were 17,000 acres of
hops, producing 15,660,000 pounds, at
a labor-cost of 7 cents per pound, or
$1,096,200 distributed among 27,955
people pickers and other workers
an average of about $39.20 per person.
The average labor-cost of picking a
quantity of hops which when dried
will make one pound is 3.72 cents.
DRANK DEADLY ACID
BURGLARS MADE SMALL HAUL
Independence School Teacher Killed
by Poison Taken Through
Mistake.
Miss Alta Savage, employed as a
teacher in the seventh grade of the
Independence publio school, took a
dose of carbolic acid by mistake last
Friday morning, and died an hour
later.
The young lady arose at her usual
hour and ate breakfast with the family
of her uncle, Dr. E. L. Ketchum,
where she boarded. About 8 o'clock
she went to her room, and within a
few minutes was discovered suffering
from the effects of the poison. The
best of medical attention was afforded
the unfortunate girl, but she died
within an hour. She was unconscious
from the time she was found un
til the end came.
Miss Savage was the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Savage, of Salem,
and was 21 years old. She was grad
uated from the Salem public schools
in June, 1901, and was attending the
State Normal School at Monmouth
when elected to the position in Inde
pendence. She was a bright and
popular young lady, and the news of
her untimely death was received with
deep sadness by all her friends and
acquaintances.
. Thanksgiving Appeal.
The managers or the Boys' and
Girls' Aid Society of Oregon ask the
Observer to call attention to the
Society's appeal to the school children
and a charitable public for Thanks
giving donations this year. It has
been the custom in this and other
localities for many years past for the
pupils of the public schools to con
tribute canned goods, provisions, fruit
and vegetables, and by these donations
the children at the Receiving Home in
Portland are provided with many
necessaries and luxuries during the
winter months. The railroad com
panies and steamboat lines will, as
usual, carry all donations free of
charge. During the past year the
Society has received and cared for 412
homeless,neglected or abused children.
Cured Consumption.
Mrs. B. W. Evans, Clearwater,
Kansas, writes: "My husband lay
sick for three months. The doctors
said that he had quick consumption.
We procured a bottle of Ballard's
Horehound Syrup, and it cured him.
That was six years ago. Since then
we have always kept a bottle in the
house. We cannot do without it. For
coughs and colds it has no equal."

Unsuccessful Attempt to Blow Open
Safe of Polk County Bank
at Monmouth.
Safe crackers, evidently of pro
fessional experience, blew off the outer
vault doors of the Polk County Bank
in Monmouth, last Friday night, made
several unsuccessful attempts to crack
the inner safe, secured $400 and made
their escape.
Such was the discovery made by the
bank officials Saturday morning. The
burglars had evidently gained an
entrance through a window and had
used their charges with telling effect
in so far as quietness and correct size
of the nitroglycerin charges were con
cerned. Five shots in all were fired,
and all that saved the bank from the
loss of many thousand dollars was the
resistance offered by the inner safe,
which is a modern burglar proof
strong box. Several attempts were
made on it and the burglars, baffled,
were compelled to remain content with
the money trays in which smaller
change is carried and which were
within reach. From the trays they
secured in the neighborhood of $400,
all in smaller coin.
The work was evidently done by
those skilled in the business, as the
evidence plainly shows that nitro
glycerin was used. The doors had
been carefully waxed and all pro
cautions taken to insure the work.
The delivery wagon of Bridwell &
Craven had been hitched up and left
standing tied to a fence near by, indi
cations showing that the team had re
mained there for some time. A grip,
taken from the vault, was found near
the North bridge at Independence, and
the team was later found turned into
a man's garden near Salem.
The losses were fully covered by
burglar insurance, and the bank was
opened for business Saturday. A lnte
improved safe has been ordered by
the bank officials, and the vault doors
will be repaired or replaced.
The repeated explosions were heard
by several citizens, but the reports
were so muffled as not to arouse sus
picion. Sheriff Ford and Constable
Moran are directing attention to the
location of two strangors who were in
Monmouth for several days before the
robbery occurred, but have little hope
of capturing the criminals.
DEAFNESS CURED IN 20 MINUTES.
A. J. Williams Justice of the Peace
of Philomath Cured by Dr.
Darrln at Hotel Corvallls.
Editor Observer : For about two
years I have been deaf in my right
ear so it was almost impossible to
hear without screaming in my ear.
My left ear has been growing deaf of
late. Dr. Darrin cured me in twenty
minutes so I can hear perfectly. I am
more than pleased at the result and
can recommend Dr. Damn's Electri
cal treatment to any one. I hayo re
sided in Philomath since 1855. Am 68
years old. Refer your readers to me.

ion
Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork," was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott'sEmulsionisthemod
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
Scott's Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle but
Scott's Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos
phites in Scott's Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.
A sample will be
sent free upon request.

DR. DARRIN AT WORK
The Celebrated Specialist
Hotel (ia!l.
at the
Dallas Itemizer.
Dr. Darrin the celebrated specialist,
and Mrs. Darrin, arrived in this place
Sunday, and have offices at the Hotel
Gail where the doctor will administer
treatment to the afflicted. Dr. Darrin
needs no recommendation, for the
wonderful cures effected by him
throughout the state during his many
years of practice in Portland speak
for themselves and are living testi
monials of his superior skill and suc
cess in the treatment and cure of the
most stubborn and aggravated cases
and chronic diseases. We have known
the doctor personally for years and
have come face to face with many of
his patients after being successfully
treated by him. In our business re
lations we have always found him to
be strictly reliable and a gentleman
of prompt and practical business
methods. His treatment by medicine
and electricity has become so popular
with the afflicted that his patients do
not seek in vain for relief from the ills
that flesh is heir to, which is positive
proof of the superiority of his electrical
treatment over all other methods of
cure. The doctor makes a specialty of
all diseases of the eye, ear, nose and
throat, catarrh, deafness, bronchitis,
lagrippe, heart, liver, bladdor and
kidney diseases, or those who suffer
from apathy or .indifference; also
genlto-urlnary and skin diseases in
either sex, such as blood taints, semi
nal weakness and lost vigor, vari
coceles and stricture. Eyes tested and
glasses fitted.
All curable chronic diseases treated
at $5 a week, or in that proportion of
time as the case may require. No case
published except by permission of the
patient. All business relations with
Dr. Darrin strictly confidential. Elec
trical appliances furnished. One visit
is desirable, though many cases can
be treated by home treatment by
writing symptoms.
Office hours from 10 a. in. to 5 p. m. ;
evening 7 to 8. Sunday 10 to 3. The
worthy poor will be treated free except
medicine according to his time
honored custom from 10 to 11 a. m.
daily.
Among those successfully treated
may be mentioned ex-Senator George
Chandler's son, of Baker City, who
had heart trouble and general debility ;
cured and gained 30 pounds.
J. A. Lindsay, of the Southern Pacific,
residence Mt. Tabor, Oregon, is happy
over the cure of consumption, bron
chitis and catarrh, performed by Dr.
Darrin eight years ago. He gained 24
pounds and has kept it ever since. Mr.
Lindsay has great causo for rejoicing.
Mrs. P. Hayes' daughter on 20th
street, Portland, is happy over the cure
of a large goitre (large neck) of several
years' standing. She was restored by
Dr. Darrin's electrical treatment
many years ago.
Mrs. T. B. Hatfield's son, 214 11th
street, Portland, was cured six years
ago by Dr. Darrin. His trouble was
discharging ears and deafness.
H. A. Kurtz, 317 Church st, Salem,'
considers himself perfectly cured of
deaf ness by Dr. Darrin.
Fred Neckorman, of 110 State street,
Salem, is very enthusiastic over his
relief from an eye trouble, catarrh
and pain in the head and eyeballs, by
Dr. Darrin.
C. R. Durfee, of Shaw, Oregon, re
ports his cure of deafness by Dr.
Darrin as complete. His daughter,
Miss Durfee, has had no recurrence of
her deafness and granulated eye
trouble.
Mrs. Al Hudson, formerly of La
Grande, Oregon, now residing at 569
Salmon street, Portland, paralysis of
one side and diseases peculiar to her
sex cured nine years ago by Dr.
Darrin.
Mrs. Abbio Wareham, Montavilla,
Oregon, epilepsy 26 years, cured by
electricity and medicine ten years ago
and never had a return of the
symptoms.
Harry Wing Is Dead
Harry Wing, an Oregon pioneer of
1851, and a brother of A. Wing, died
at his home in Lewisville, Sunday,
aged 80 years. He had been in poor
health for several months. While
walking in his door yard Sunday
morning he suffered an attack of
neuralgia of the heart and died before
he could reach the house. Mr. Wing
had 110 family. He was a Master
Mason of Lyon Lodge, No. 29, of Inde
pendence, for 36 years. His remains
were taken to Independence Monday
morning under a Masonic escort, and
were shipped to Portland, where they
were given burial in Ahaval-Sholom

offensive citizen, and was respected by
all.
