Horst Pays 11 Cents for Taylor and Whiteaker Crops at Independence. Charles Livesley, representing E. Clemeus Horst, was the most aggres sive buyer in the Independence market at the opening of the week. He made two good-sized purchases Monday and announced he will be in the market as long as there are hops to sell. The D. B. Taylor crop of 311 bales and the George Whitteaker lot of 130 bales were bought Monday. Taylor was paid 11 cents and Whiteaker the same figure for the bulk of his crop, A few bales that did not come up to the standard were put in at 10J cents. Dorcas & Young took in the Miles Portertield crop. These were really bargained for Saturday. Three bales were thrown out of this lot. The price paid was 11 cents for 155 bales. Though a large per cent of the hops of the Independence district have been sold, there are growers still holding their crops and dealers are still on the ground seeking to buy. The highest price paid for the past month was 111 cents. Dorcas and Young have been the heaviest buyers in Polk county. The market immediately around Inde pendence this year proved hard to break into, but Dorcas and Young have been busy picking up the smaller crops back toward the foothills. They have practically cleaned up the hops from Airlie to Ballston. They have purchased close to 6000 bales in Polk county, between 1200 and 1500 being of Independence growers. The idea of cutting down the acreage in the Independence district for next year, which at first met with favor, is not so popular now. As growers con sider the proposition, they generally conclude their interest lies in con tinuing to produce hops and put on the market the best article possible, and let other sections, where hops can not be grown of as good quality or quantity per acre, quit the business. According to the present state of mind, Independence growers will cultivate their yards as usual next year. The Rabbitville Philosopher. (A. Bennet iu Irrigon Irrigator.) There is a good many different kinds of durned fools in this world, and mebbe more has gone acrost the divide, sorter blazin' the trail for us bigger fools to foller. But it is my own individyual opinion that a feller what argifles about a female's aidge has all other kinds of fools beet to a ustard. Only last weak I jokularly made mention about Liza Butter bottom making her debute in 1876. I told her I ment she was horned then, thinkin' like other fools have thunk before that I could square it with her. Then she says she was borned in 1886, bein' jest 19 come Thanksgiving. Jest 19! Miss Liza Butterbottom, aidge 19! And me and her don't sieak now as we meat and pass by, and mebbe we newer wont no more forevver. Anyhow Idont care much to be dis sociated with kids of 1 9. I'll wate 5 or 6 year till she's 20. Salem Defeats Dallas. The Salem football team defeated a picked-up team in this city Saturday afternoon by the decisive score of 22 to 5. A large crowd of young people witnessed the game. Nobody knew before this game that Dallas had h football team, and nobody knows it yet, for that matter. Young men who spend their whole time in clerical pur suits or in the school room, without any preliminary practice whatever, don't stand much of a show when they go up against a bunch of well-trained football players, and the only question that is puzzling Dallas people is how the home team ever managed to make those five points. People who saw the game say that Dallas put up good ball for a few minutes in the first i half, but that from tnat time (sturdy Salem lads had everything : their own way. i :,. methods that Injure the jieauuijiua " - t, skin and health are dangerous.

Belt has retired from the Dallas city council. His resignation was handed in at Monday night's meeting of that body, and was accepted.

If your baby is scrawny, Scott's C m u 1 s i o n is what 'he wants. The healthy baby stores as fat what it does not need immediately for bone and muscle. Fat babies are happy ; they do not cry ; they are rich ; their fat is laid up for time of need. They are happy because they are comfortable. The fat sur rounds their little nerves and cushions them. When they are scrawny those nerves are hurt at every ungentle touch. They delight in Scott's Emul sion. It is as sweet as wholesome to them. Send for free sample.

A man giving his name as Royal has been "canvassing" Salem and by telling a hard luck story has gathered up a great many dimes and quarters. It is believed that this is the same in dividual who "worked" Portland recently and the people are warned to look out for him. A young girl, aged about 16 years, has also visited a number of Salem homes during the past few weeks and has begged cloth ing, food, etc., after relating a pitiful story of how her home was recently destroyed by fire, leaving a family of father, mother and eight children in destitute circumstances. She claimed to be a resident of West Salem, but inquiry has failed to locate her home and it is believed she is an impostor. At several houses the girl gave her name as Warner. I i) 7 Qy The Christmas Dinner. In suite of the fact that the word dvspepsia means literally bad cook, it will not be fair for many to lay the blame on the cook if they begin the Christmas dinner with little appetite and end it with distress or nausea. It may not be fair for any to do that let us hope so for the sake of the cook ! The disease dvspepsia indicates a bad stomach, that is a weak stomach, rather than a bad cook, and for a weak stomach there is nothing equal to Hood's Sarsaparilla. It gives the stomach .victor and tone, cures dyspep sia, creates appetite, and makes eating the pleasure it should be. George E. Good was re-elected Mayor of Grants Pass, Monday.

HOP GROWERS MEET An Attempt Will Be Made to Bring About Organization for Mutual Protection. About forty prominent hop growers, representing various parts of Oregon, assembled iu Salem, Saturday, in response to the call of President J. K. Sears, of Polk county, who was unable to be present himself by reason of sickness. In his absenco H. C. Fletcher presided and James H Cole man acted as secretary. The report of the committee on con stitution and by-laws was heard and adopted, and those present were enthusiastic over the proposed co-operative movement, says the Salem Statesman. A resolution was read anddiscussod proposing to reduce the output of hops 30 per cent, but it was not thought ad visable to adopt it in the form in which it has been presented. There might be legal entanglements, and there are other difficulties in making the scheme operative, but the spirit of it met with approbation, and It was thought it could be worked out under the constitution and by-laws. The chairman, by unanimous vote, was authorized to name a repre sentative hop grower In every section desiring to bo represented, and to these men will be sent copies of the constitution and by-laws, to which they will be authorized to procure signatures of growers iu their respect ive sections. They will also be author ized to attend meetings of the associ ation at the call of the president. The chief features of the proposed corporation as outlined Saturday are: To establish a bureau of information for the exclusive use of its members; to bring about the enactment of a law to prohibit the adulteration of hop beer; to inaugurate an effort to bring the growers into more intimate and direct relations with the consumers.

Labor Commissioner Hoff has re turned from a five weeks' tour of in spection of the mills and factorlos in Jackson, Coos, Josephine and parts of Lane and Douglas counties. During his absence ho visited 14G mills and factories and in most of them he found exposed shafts and parts of machines which are a menace to life and limb as long as they are neglected. The owners were notified In eacn Instance to make improvements, which, if made, will lessen the chance of serious accidents happening. Mr. Hoff has decided that to bring about a prompt acquiescence in the order to make such changes as will lessen the liability to accidents, he will be a willing witness in any case for damages against an Individual or corporation, after he has notified them to safeguard their machinery. Injured by Careless Wheelman. Miss Angie McCulloch, a deputy In the office of County Clerk Roland, at Salem, was knocked down by a care less bicycle rider after dark last even ing and sustained a severe cut on her head, the flesh being cut to the bone. In falling, her head struck the cement pavement, rendering.her unconscious for a few moments and inflicting the injury mentioned. Salem dispatch in Oregonlan. Over here in Dallas, where the people are more civilized, such acci dents don't happen, for the reason that bicycles are kept in the streets, where they belong. The woods are full of coyotes around Olalla. Some women catch them in traps. State Library Circular. Miss Cornelia Marvin, secretary of the state library association, has sent out circulars giving a list of whole some juvenile books, with prices, for the holiday trade and for home li braries, together with some excellent facts about libraries.
