PHONE MAIN 64 Main Street, Dallas, Ore. Will Grub Up Vines. As a result of the low prices in the hop market, many large hop growers of Eugene and vicinity will grub their yards up the coming year, says the Guard. Marion Davis, of Springfield, Is the first to take this action, and has just finished grubbing up a 10-acre yard. Others say they will follow his example. Many old growers, like George Dorris, Dan Linton, and Campbell & Walker, of Eugene, will do little work on their yards, cutting down the expenses, which means the yards at best will not produce over one-third crop. This will mean a big loss to the state, as the hop crop figures largely in the general output. Change in Train Schedule. Under a new traia schedule, effective December 1, the morning passenger train will leave Falls City for wallas at 10 o'clock, instead of at 9 :20, and will arrive here 35 minutes later. The afternoon train will leave Falls City at 4 o'clock, 35 minutes earlier than at present, and will arrive in Dallas at 4 :35. No change will be made In the leaving time of trains at Dallas.

An eloquent and touching sermon was preached by Dr. C. C. Poling, pastor of the United Evangelical church, and beautiful music was furnished by a special choir.

Friday, while hunting on his father's farm some miles south of Corvallis, Mark Rickarjj shot a hybrid a cross between a China pheasant and a grouse. He brought it to Corvallis, Saturday, and turned it over to Roy Woodcock to mount. The bird favors both sides of the house. It is largo and well developed in everyway. Mr. Eickard says that in flying it differs from a China pheasant in the fact that it spreads its tail. In this act, it follows the grouse tactics. The feet and legs of the hybrid are like those of the grouse. Many of the feathers are like those of the China. This Is the third hybrid of the kind to bo shot on the Rickard farm, and Mark says that they are better eating than a China. Gene Simpson, a prominent pheasant breeder in Corvallis, has two hybrids of the same cross and they are doing nicely In captivity. Corvallis Gazette. Big Fish Eat Little Ones. Perhaps if a lot of the hop growers who have not yet helped out the shorts by selling their hops at about half price would make a pool and ship direct to New York, they might get more money in their purses than they are likely to by depending on the "shorts." Portland Journal. And perhaps they wouldn't. If the growers were to ship a car of hops to New York without first contracting them, they would not realize enough to pay the freight. It is of no use, either, for Oregon growers to try and contract with the heavy eastern buyers. The latter simply state that they have agents in Oregon with whose actions they would interfere, and our growers must deal with them. This has been the situation in the past, and will con tinue for a few years yet. The fact Is the big buyers are all getting large hop yards of their own, and it seems to be their object to keep the price down for a few years and freeze out the small growers. Then the price of hops will be high. Twas eyer thus, The big fish eat the little ones. Jeffer son Review.

"SP!ED PIT LIFE -That's what a prominent druggist'said of Scott's Emulsion a short time 1 i i. ago. as a ruie we uon i use or refer to testimonials in addressing the public, but the above remark and similar expressions are made so often in connec tion with Scott's Emulsion that they are worthy of occasional note, rrom infancy to old age Scott's Emulsion offers a reliable means of remedying im proper and weak develop ment, restoring lost flesh and vitality, and repairing waste.

Soars, the mass meet ing for the organization of a hop growers' information bureau was not held in Salem, Saturday, but was postponed until Saturday, December 2, says a Salem dispatch in the Ore gonian. The committee on constitu tion and by-laws made publlo the general features of its report, how ever, and asks that local hopgrowors' meetings bo held Saturday, November for the purpose of choosing dele gates to attend the meeting in Salem, December 2. An Information bureau which will furnisli private hop news to its mem bers is tho chief object In view. It is estimated that such a bureau can be maintained for $2000 a year, of which sum $1200 will bo for salary of the secretary and $800 for expenses. Should half the growers join tho asso ciation, it would require a tax of 4 cents a bale upon the membership. The association proposes to get reliable hop news from all parts of the world and supply it to mrtmbors only. The committee also recommends that one purpose of its association shall be to induce Congress to pass laws that will prevent the use of quassia and chittlin bark In hop beer. Another object to be attained is bring ing the grower and brewer closer together so as to reduce the amount of money paid to middlemen. Dallas Does Things. W. E. Mahoney, the staff corres pondent of the Evening Telegram, who accompanied the Portland busi ness men on their excursion through the Willamette Valley, writes of the brief stay iu Dallas as follows: "Dallas proved an Interesting point A large sign was tacked conspicuously on tho deiot, which read: 'Dallas, the town that does things,' and this was the impression carried away. The boys' brass band rendered selections at the station, and several hundred school children greeted the visitors. Mayor Ed Diddle showed the ex cursionists how streams could be thrown 200 foot by the firemen using tho water brought from the mountains by tho new gravity system, and took pride in guiding them to the new $46,000 courthouse, built of stone quarried but three miles from there." 1.
