In fact, by Mon day of next week the entire crop of ibo Independence district will have been gathered and put under cover. While the yield tlila season wan near ly half lesa than laHt season, in most instance the iinpa are of a fur su perior quullly and as a result will command much greater price In the market. Practically all of the largo yard have finished picking with the exception of Horst Bros., which will not finish until about the middle of next week, although a large number of their plckerg pulled stake and left for Salem Wednesday and Thursday where they went to attend the state fair being held there this week. Krobs llron., who announced that they would be through Friday of last week, are still at work with a small force finishing up and It Is reported that they will not bo done until Mon day or Tuesday of next week. I). B. Taylor, whose yard adjoins Krebs Bros, on the north, finished about noon Wednesday. He has three kilns on the yard and a visit to yardB showed that Mr. Taylor suc ceeded In saving bis entire crop which Is among the finest In the dis trict. In both Mr. Taylors Corvallls and Independence yards the output Is heavier and of a much better qual ity than ho hud figured o.i. Imh ' year where the littler was .set for 15 pounds, the baler turned out this year 205 to 2L'0 pounds. The same ra tlo Is reported from the McLaughlin, llorst Bros., Pcrciva, McCarthy, R. D. and J. H. Cooper yards, and In fact with the exception of a few In stances throughout the entire district the crop ls"nuich heavier than was anticipated. The Perm ell yard of twenty acres is going to average something over 2500 pounds to the acre; Percival will crowd the 2000 mark, while Mc laughlin, Rose, Burton and a number of other yards will vary between 1500 and 2000 pounds. J. H. Burton probably has one of the finest plant In ,tho district, hav ing six dryers with a capacity of 800, boxes daily. This year he added to his plant two new driers of a capac ity of 370 boxes, lie takes the hopa from the wagons that draw them in from the field and loads them on a car which is operated by a cable and Inken up an incline track to the drying room at the top of the building. The hops are also handled by a car when they are returned from the dryer to the store room wnere they are baled. Mr. Burton' had 80 acres this Heaon -and while the yield was light the quality is above the average., He finished picking Wed nesday afternoon. L.Damon, J. E. Hub' ard and Walk er Bros, report yields above u.-ir ex pectations and they will be able to finish up by Saturday night. Donald McCarthy, of the Lone Fir yards, will finish htis afternoon or to morrow. He reports a good crop and bops of an excellent quality. Silas Maley finished Tuesday apd his pick ers were turned over to Uncle, John Cooper, whose yard adjoins his on the 'north. Mr. Cooper will finish about Saturday. W. W. Percival hard ly xepects to finish before the first of next week. His yard, being entire ly free from Nee and mould, he is taking time as the inaicauous me the weather will remain on its good behavior. John Groves will not fin ish before the first of next week, hfe yard being handicapped on account Of pickers. George Kutch expects to finish by Saturday. Davidson & Hedges and Fy. rs & Cooper expect to be clean ed up today, although they may be cornjK-lled to continue until the first Of next v.cik. Everyone is exhuberant c their hops this year on account of tbti weather coiidiilona. With the exceptlou of about three yards south of town, which were prac tlcally abandoned ou account of mould, the majority of the growers have no reason to compluln, and, tak ing everything ,,to cousldreatlon thin will not be such a bad year after all PUBLIC SCHOOL OPENS SEPT. 27 LIST OF TEACHERS FOR TERM OP 1909-10.

Miss Mary Whitney is a new comer among us. She is a sister of our fellow townsman, Al Whitney. She gradu ated at the Monmouth Normal School this year where she had been tak ing a two years' course. Before en tering the normal she taught a term the the neighborhood of a hundred and thirty-eight quart cans of pears and about a thousand boxes of dried prunes; They give employment to about fifty people and distribute among the farmers and fruit grow ers in this vicinity approximately $50 a day during the canning season which lasts about three months. This Is the second season for this enterprise and while the promoters were a little skeptical about branch ing out this season (on account of th poor fruit conditions) as they con tern plated, they have been able so far to secure all the fruit they can handle notwithstanding the fact that they added largely to their facilities for handling the output of the country. In the drying department they have a dally capacity of about 1000 boxes per day, and so far, have been able to keep their kiln full. In the canning department t'hey handle in the neighborhood of 150 dozen quart cans, besides canning chersies, black berries, loganberries and other small fruits. They are prepared to handle pears and apples and expect next sea j son to be equipped to handle peas, beans, tomatoes and all kinds of garden produce. The manager of the company, E. O. Powell.advises a represntativ of theee Enterprise that they find a ready market for the output of the cannery and It will keep them busy to fill the orders that they now have al ready on their books. T-he successful operation of the can nery at Monmouth Is an object lesson to th emauagement of the splendid plant that is at-present lying idle in Independence which for the lack of enterprise or something is a dead Issue. It Is to be hoped that .In an other season the Independence plant will be operated or some satisfac tory explanation made as to why it Is not. Creswell, her old home. The eighth grade will be in the hands of W. E. Buell who last seas on was employed as assistant prin cipal of the public schools of Falls City and from where he comes with a good record. In an interview with Prof. Mcin tosh, the new principal of the schools that gentleman said: "At the beginning , of the new school year every teacher resolves to make it the best and most success ful one of her experience, and rightly so, for as we enter upon the work of this year we have in mind the places where we went wrong last year. So we begin to make ready to pass those places this year that there may not be even the slightest fric tion. Every successful teacher prof its by, the experience of the past and only will she Improve as she trios to make s.rong the weak places, in her experience. The teacher who does not -do this will not stay long in the profession. "So much for the teacher. Now it stands the pupil in hand to make some preparation also. In reflect ing over the, work of last year they may readily see where their weak points were, perhaps with some it was mere negler t ;" dtiu , failure on their part t o fii'fiil the obligations of pupil to teacher. We all have our weaknesses and failures, but let us firmly resolve as the power within us Use to do more and better work this year than last. Be honest and honorable above all else and in so being will be honored. "To the parent a great deal might be said but, perhaps, will not be nec essary at this time.

The sidewalk on C street, was crowded so full of people in front of Cox Cigar Store that there was not room for people to pass, and in order to make room for some ladies who were coming that way the marshal asked the men to J step back. The men responded to his request with the exception of one, E. O. Simms, of Belknap Springs. In stead of stepping aside he hauled off and pasted him in the face before he could make himself known.. When Simms found out what he had done he tried to square himself by apolo gizing, but it was too late. George Conkey and Mr. Hilliard, who were acquainted withSinmis' parents, went on his bonds to keep him from being a miest of the cltv over Sunday, and on Monday he was released on the payment of a $20 fine, having been arrested on two accounts, one city and the other state.
