HOP ACREAGE CUT DOWN
Prospect of Low Price Will Cause
Growers to Let Yards Lie
Idle.
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.

MINISTER'S NOVEL OFFER
Rev. F. L. Young Will Serve St
John as Night Policeman,
Free of Charge.
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."

It Is not just to collect taxes from tbe
outlying districts, and not give tbe
taxpayer his share of tbe road work to
make it more convenient for him to
reach market
Beoond. No waste of publlo money ;
strictest economy consistent with a
good administration of county affairs;
a square deal and good treatment for
every one.
Third. I will try, if Dominated nad
elected, to work In harmony with tbe
County Commissioners so far as I
think is for the good of lb people.
Fourth. Should the voters of Polk
County decide that I am the proper
person to fill tbe office of County
Judge, I will give to the management
of the business of tbe County tbe
sams energetic and careful attention
that I have given my owa business.
Fifth, I believe in tbe Direct Pri
mary. I think this is one of the
agencies in tbe hands of each elector
to bring tbe government nearer to the
people, and take it oat of tbe "bom
rulp," giving us "a govern meet of tbe
people, by tbe people and for tbe
people."
