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.

Fat is of great account
to a baby ; that is why
babies are fat. 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.

Look Out For Impostors.
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.

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.

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.

To Prevent Accidents.
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

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

Over here in Dallas, where the
people are more civilized, such acci

that bicycles are kept in the streets,
where they belong.

traps.
