In the hop district lvinsr around Dallas, the acreage of cultivated yards will be considerably less this season than it has been for several years. Many of the hop growers have already plowed out their vines and are preparing to replace them with some crop which they believe will be safer and more profitable, while others design merely to let their hop yards He idle during the coming year, hoping for an increase in the demand for hops, and consequently a better price for their products when they do begin to cultivate their yards again The greater portion of the yards that have been either plowed out or will be allowed to lie idle during the coming season are located in the rich belt of hop land along the Little Luckiamute, while the majority of the growers whose land lies in the immediate vicinity of Dallas, prefer to cultivate them as usual. The Eoser and Levens yards, both of which are being plowed out, are exceptions to this rule. It has been estimated that fully 25 per cent of the hop acreage of this district will be out of cultivation dur ing the coming season, and it is said that the remainder will be cared for In a merely superficial manner.

The following clipping from the rortiand Telegram, concerning a former popular pastor of the Dallas M. E. Church, will be of Interest to many of our readers : "Rev. F. L. Young, pastor of the M. S Church, at St. John, an ex-college atniete and a stout expounder from the pulpit of 180 pounds weight, this morning offered to serve St John as night policeman for six months, free of charge. St John is to accept the offer. The unexpected announcement by the Methodist divine came as a oomplete surprise. "Rev. Mr. Young will not have to give up his Sunday evening services. Mayor Brioe and the Council are expected to arrange for a substitute tbat evening, rejoicing meanwhile to be able to secure the pastor's work gratis for the remaining six evenings of the week. ' "Mayor and Counoil will feel no hesitation about prompt acceptance on the score of the minister's ability to bold down the job. When he was in school, Rev. Mr. Young is said to have won a prize for boxing, while his proficiency in other departments of athletio activity was marked. He is a powerful man, able to drag an offender to the city Jail with nil the nonchalance of 'a veteran puhot,. He Is tall and heavy set His muscles can be seen through coat sleeves In the pulpit and the St. John football boys have often wished they had him on the team. ' "Rev. Mr. Young believes he can bring about better enforcement of law In St John by serving as night police man. Being a minister, he fig ures he will not have to rise early In the morning, but that he will be able to carry out his duties with precision and alacrity. During the quiet hours while patrolling his beat he believes the opportunity for medi tation on Sunday discourses will be unexcelled. Thus his congregation, he hopes, as well as the city's moral welfare and the city's exchequer will benefit by bis proposed move."

The shipments of lumber from the sawmills of Dallas and of Falls City are continually becoming greater, indicating that this industry has practically recovered from the effects of the recent depression whioh shut down so many of the mills of Oregon and Washington. Arthur Starr's truck team became frightened at a passing auto this morning, and running down Main street crashed into a wagon belonging to Peter Reddekopp, a farmer residing near Dallas. Although it looked for an instant like a serious aocideot the only damage done was the breaking of Mr. Reddekopp's wagon tongue. Several of the pupil of the Dallas Publlo School made a trip to the woods Saturday, and secured a fine new flag pole for the schoolhouse. The old flag pole broke off at the base a short time ago and was ruined. As soon as the new pole is sufficiently seasoned the pupils will plaoe it In position with the proper ceremonies, and will once more be able to display the flag from their schoolhouse on national holidays.
