The demand of progress calls for a special issue of the West Side Enterprise and that is the only excuse for tkve ap pearance of this paper today. The paper will be issued in sec tions this week, the first half today and the second half Fri day evening. There is too much doing ia the Hop Center of Oregon, as perusal of these columns will show, to be told as ancient history in a weekly pub lication. The West Side Enter prise, published in the hop cen ter of the state, pretends to be the organ of the hop industry and a faithful chronicle of the news worth knowing, as it emanates from the hop fields, will be told in these columns. The county news will also be covered, even more completely than in the past. Get on the list. Yesterday.,, was labor Everybody labored. 'The hoppicking season boats any of your street carnivals. A flirt is a girl who is afraid she will be left at the post. - Some people forgive and for get and others forget to forgive. A man gets lots of things he doesn't want in this world, and woman wants a lot of things she doesn't get. . The Liao Yaug river divides the Russian and Japanese armies; the Willamette the Polk and Marion county armies of hoppickers. The girl who picks most bops in a day shall be queen of the hop harvest. The man who scores the highest record is en titled to be sent to the legisla ture to represent the county from which he hails. Ever since "My Old Kentueky ' Home," was given to the world, , sons of other states have tried with varying success to immor talize the state that gave them birth in the production of a - song that would make a nation al hit. 'In the Green Fields of Virginia" has met with favor and "The Girl I Love in Sunny Tennessee," has not been a failure. Other catchy melodies of less renown extolling the vir tues of southern states have been produced and it is to be observed that state or sectional songs of longest, lives have been j of the Southland. There is a notable exception in "My Old New Hampshire 'Home." Com ing west, "Where the Silvery Colorado Wends Its Way," has set to vibrating vocal chords be yond the confines of that can non bound river. No western sstate however, has yet been glor ified in song nor had its fame extended by a tune sung by the jprima donna from the stage and whistled by every boy on the .street. There have been at tempts to dignify Oregon with poetry and song but with the exception of Sam Simpson's tribute to "The Beautiful Wil lamette," success has not been scored. The last effort for the state is by Rob Roy Parrish, of Independence. Mr. Parrish has just launched a song entitled, 'Land of Oregon." The words are by Mr. Parrish set to music by C. W. Kantner. It is put out in artistic form, the cover embellished with Oregon grape, and for a frontispiece picture appears a likeness of the author. It would be too much to expect of the song a literary produc tion equal to Simpson's classic poem and its merits m- a (song,j words and melody combined are j referred to. the world of music for thorough consideration be fore it is assigned its proper plaCe. ,: .; J ..v Chief Hunt of Portland .has at last earned a compliment.

McCREADY & EARHART, Independence, Oregon; LEAGUE ACTIVE There are a few hundred more pickers than necessary in the Independence hop district but the growers are not disposed to take advantage of the situation by endeavoring to reduce the price of picking, All growers are ravine 50 cents a box for picking without a grumble. A great many papers are hav ins a creat deal to sav about Secretary Shaw drawing salary as a cabinet officer while mak ing political speeches in the west. Let's see didn't Oregon's governor recently return from a oolitical convention on the St. Louis "Pike," and has since drawn salary from the state treasury for the time he was awav? ; , The best advertising medium i. the State of .Oregon today outside of Portland is he .

Ready at Corvallte. : Everything is bustle and activity over at the Independent office just now. Preparations are r on for onenmflr tne local svsiero to me I C7 " public and all day Friday the work of connecting the phones of the local Datrons with tb switch board was in progress, with the task far from completed at night fall. The .numbering , of each phone was also incidental to the work, and during the day a num ber of business houses were given the figures by which ,( they will be signalled on the lines. Th work in the central office was under the personal direction of Mr. DeVarney, while Construction Swperin ten dent Lowe directed operations on thn outside. , A regular twenty-four hour ser vice will be maintained. The unexpectedly large demand for phones, with other incidents, has served largely to delay matters, and even at the present time some further delays will be encountered in extending the service to every subscriber on account of a lack of transmitters. Mr. DeVarney an- j nounces that the beginning service on Monday must not be expected to be of that faultless character that will, within, a few weeks be attained. Adjustments and ex periments will be necessary in j order to perfect everything,, and perfection cannot be attained on I the kickoff. On account of this, no charge is to be made during the month of September. Corvallia Times. Would Increase Telephone Ser vice by Building and Equip ping Line to Monmouth.-' Gtizcns to Wait on County Court in Interest of Roads and Other Matters. Notwithstanding the business rush, members of the Improvement League met last night and took tip matters of importance to the city. The report of the telephone com mittee was made and accepted. The report was to the effect that a j oint stock company be formed for the building and equipment of a telephone line to Monmouth. i The secretary was instructed to draw up articles of agreement for the new company and members of the old Committee, Riley Craveu, W. W. Percival and W. A. Mess- ner were appointed a commmeo to solicit stock. Th proposed Sidney road, the Independence-Rickreall road , and the need of a deputy stock in spector to reside in town were dis cussed and David Calbroath was authorized to charter a motor car to carry a delegation of citizens to Dallas tomorrow to wait on the county court in tb interests of the objects mentioned. : The car has been, secured an will leaye Independence at & o'clock in the morning.
