request was denied and the spirit
of separation from the old corpor-
ation has grown rapidly since. In
support of their connection, resi
duals of Nye Creek point out that
they pay three fourths of the taxes,
get no public protection nor other
benebta that a municipality usually
extends to iu snbjecta. Residents
of Newport on the other side say
that Sam Irvine wants revenge for
being defeated for the city council
and that under the new schema be

The Salem Journal tells the
story that a Polk Countw'te who
carries much surplus adipos tissue
called on the belle ot the beach at
a fashionable hour. A colored
maid met the visitor at the door

the shining tray and now the boys

Fire at Albany
Two girls living not far distant
from Independence and still nearer
Monmouth were out for a starlight
stroll. 8-eing two men loitering
on the beach, thev resolved to have
some fun after the fashion of the
boys by striking np an informal
acquaintance. The scheme work
ed. The young men were surpris
ing agreeable. They were really
companionable. Two and two the
new-made friends sauntered along
the beach until an electric flight
flashed in their faces. The "catches"
were both Indians. The Polk
county girls klatawaed. The sud
denly kindled admiration of the
Indiana for the pale-faced daugb-
ters,as suddenly vanished. To them
a valley girl is a delusion and a
snare and their love for a Siletz
maiden with 111 on the chin is
confirmed.

Diversity of Opinion as to Yield of
State -Picking will Begin
September 1st.
Counciluien Messner, Finch
Behannon and Craven had their
feet under their respective tables
when Mayor Cooper called the
council to order Tuesday evening.
Recorder Sharman being absent,
Mr. Messner was elected clerk
pro tern.
After discussing the matter of
odor arising from the ravine which
catches the discharge from the
creamery, the marshal was in
structed to haul saw dust and
spread over affected ground. The
marshal was also directed to re
move the fence ot H. H. Jasperson
from across the alley between his
property and Charles Smiths near
the grove.
Application had been made to
the council for the residence vacat
ed by Andy Tupper and Council
man Bqhannon was instructed to
let it at $5 a month.
The srteet committee was author
ized to confer with with the tele
phone people seeking to enter the
citv.'and grant them the right of
way. No bills were presented.
Low Rates to California
The Triennial Conclave Knights
Templar will be held at San Fran
cisco. September 5th to 9th and
the Sovereign Grand Lodge I. O.
Fn will be held at same point
September 1 9th to 25th. For these
occasions the Southern Pacific Co.
will place in eflect the extremely
ow rate of one and one third fare
for the round trip, not to exceed
$25.00, the rate from Portland.
Those who are planning a trip to
California should take note of
these rates.
All ready for the hop fields!
The advance guard of pickers ia
here. Families from a distace
haye begun to arrive. People from
eastern Oregon and nearer points
are on the grounds selecting their
picking yards and pitching tents.
There ia of coarse nothing like the
crowds that will be here ten days
hence, but to be on the grounds
is a satisfaction to many; then U is
really a pleasant outing camping
where tne hop fragrance fills the
air awaiting the ripening of tae
bops.
The prospects are there will be
plenty of pickers this year. For
the past two weeks growers have
been engaging hands, and some
commenced a month ago. Horet
yards that will require 400 to 500
pickers have listed all they need
and have turned sway numbers.
There are still some vacancies in
the yards of other growers however
and those who are known to pick
clean hops can find jobs.
Picking will not be on till the
5th., or possibly a few days later.
There is still great diversity cf
opinion as, to the output of the
state this year. The cultivated
yards generally promise good yield
bile tbn neglected ones will be
light. James Linn, who has just
made a tour of the hop section of
the state believes tne crop will be
in the nefr.hborhcod of lOO.OOu
bales. He is offering to make
wagers on 90,000. Others however,
think Mr. Linn wild on his esti
mates.
Albany had a fire Saturday that
destroyed a number .of wooden
buildings on First street near the
Revere Hotel. The fire started
about 11 o'clock in a lot of straw
in the rear of the the stable used
by delivery wagons belonging to
Wm. Neaiy and soon spresd to ad
joining property. The buildings
were frame structures and the en
tire business section of Albany was
threatened for considerable time
before the department was able t
gt the fire under control. The de
part aunt worked hard and pre
vented, finally, a general conflag
ration. The losses were as follows!
J W. Cusick, 11500. no insurance;
8. Shupp, $2000, insurance $800;
H. C. Chamberlain, meat market,
$1000, insurance $800; W. Nealy,
$700, no insurance; Albany luncb
counter, $1800, insurance $300; Dr.
J.J. Smith, $100.
A number of delivery drivers are
in the habit of smoking cigarettes)
and often do so at the barn, and it
is presumed that the fire was
started by someone carelessly drop
ping a lighted cigarette in the straw
A drunken tramp had gone into the
barn to sleep and it was thought
he might have set the fire, and he
was arrested, but there appearing
to be no evidence against him, he
was allowed to go free on the un
derstanding that he should leave
t3wn.
