NEARLY OVER
THE 1909 CROP PRACTICALLY UN
DER COVER
While the Yield U Light the Quality
of th Hop la Far Mora Superior
to Any That Have Eeen Raited; In
Many Yaan Paat
The groat bop picking carnival of
1809 nearly off. 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

THE MONMOUTH
CANNERY BUSY
The Monmouth Canning and Evap
itlng Co, are now running In full
blast and are turning out daily in of district school iu the vicinity of
taught In the public schools of Cor
vallls.
y The third grade will be In charge
of Mrs. Jessie Cromwell who taught
here last season. The fourht, fifth
and sixth grades will be in the hands
of Miss June Seeley, MissEpley and
Miss Ivy Burton, all of whom were
Uachers iu the public schools here
last year, acquitting themselves with
credit and to the entire satisfaction
of the patroim of the schools. 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. Those who are
Intrusted with the care of children
ought to realize very fully the re-
sppnsibility that rests with them In
the "care and training of the same.
We ask for the hearty co-operation

HIT THE MARSHAL

$20
Aa a result of the large number of
people who congregated In the city
last Sunday City Marshal Feagle got
hit in the face three times before you
could say scat. 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.
