A circular describing the system now recom mended will be issued soon and distributed among hop growers. Three points ol superiority of the college system over the system commonly used are claimed byNDr. Withycombe. They are: First lessens the expense by saving fuel. Second the hops are dried in half tne time required by the old system. Third better quality of hops is secured. " The atmosphere, as to humidity, !anlv half as moist as unaer inf old system during the drying pro cess and the temperature being low, the result is a dried product more lit the sun-dried Bavarian hop, ..;. in he the world's best.

In the death of Chief Joseph of the Nez Perces, this country lost its most noted Indian warrior and in many respects, its strongest Indian character. The Nez Perces are now preparing for a big pow wow meet ing at which a successor to Chief Joseph is to be chosen. ' It is now a year since the late chieftain told in his own language for tbe first time his story of the Nez Perces war, at the close of which General Miles declared Chief Joseph Jo be the greatest Indian that ever lived. When Gov. I. I. Stevens called the great Walla Walla council of 1855, the result ot which was that all of the Indians in that section agreed to give up most of their lands and go on reservations, all of the tribes were opposed to the treaty except the Nez Perces. Old Ka-mi-a-kin, the leader of the war of 1855, got the Yakimas, the Cayuses all the tribes, in fact, but the Nez Perces to agree to mas sacre the governor's party. Jo seph's father and the other chiefs of the Nez Perces pitched their tepees near to Stevens' and thus saved the whites from being killed. For this act of friendship the governor gave tbe Nez Perces a lareer share of land than to the other tribes. Sit ting in his tepee, Chief Joseph said: We had 2500 people at Walla Walla powwow," said Chief Josepb "Yakima, Cayuse, Umatilla, Wal lula tribe have 2500. Nez Perces people keep Stevens from kill Stevens give Nez Perces people Lapwai, Grand Ronde, Wallowa. Tribe my father get Wallowa. My people believe white man keep his word. "Bimeby my father get sick. He call me, he call my brother Ollicut his tepee. He say me and my brother Ollicut: 'My time die oonie. You keep Wallowa. Heap white man come now thi country. Maybe some day you fight. You keep Wallowa. Our people live here this valley long time; white man want take Wallowa; you fight.' "My father die. I chief. W hite man come take Grand Ronde coun try. I no fieht. Heap white man come in Wallowa, build fence, plow ground. One summer I go hunt buffalo country. While I away buffalo country one chief man sign niiwr erivfl whita'man Wallowa. I t-'r" . e come back, I say man soldier horse scared. Soldiers come; me behind rocks. Tbey come in line, four by four. Easy mark. I drive soldiers back. Ollicut and White Bird shoot. Soldiers bad scared. We whip white soldier. Tbey go back. That day we take thirty." .1 -Asking- Questions. . Tbe Salem Journal is getting in quisitive. Utre are some of tbe "Whys" it propounded in Friday' issue: "Why did Oregfn in Jane roll up such a splendid majority for the Republican candidates? "Why did Vermont on Septem ber 6 give her candidates such a rousing majoiity? "Why did Arkansas on the preceding day show a large Demo cratic falling off? "Why did Maine on September 12 maintain tbe great majority of 1900 and give the Republican ma jority of several thousands in ex cess of the average Republican September majorities since 1884? "Wby is the betting two to one on Roosevelt and Fairbanks with out any takers ot the short end? ' Why are the Democratic papers without exception pounding the Democratic management of tbe Campaign and calling upon the candidate himself to come to the rescue?" " To OH Roads. Nez Perces people. Long .time ago Walla Walla powwow Gov. Stevens say Nez Perces keep Wallowa all time. My father die, he say "Keep Wallowa." I keep Wallowa.' " Chief Joseph then described the preliminaries of the war how the whites killed T. F. Ryan, county judge of Clackamas county, returned a few days ago from California where he had an opportunity to witness the effect apd cost of oiling county roads. " "The Clackamas county court will next ve&r experiment with oil in the building of two miles of road,"said he to the Oregon City Enterprise. "This crude petroleum is used on all of tbe country roads and many of the streets in all Cal ifornia counties and towns and the result is most satisfactory. It is said to make a water-proof road and if such is the case it is just what we need in Oregon. At any rate my observations fully warrant (he making of an experiment here since the cost of this road building that is the cost of oil is only $150 per mile, and the roads so treated, will endure from two to three years hard travel. "But with all their oil," continued the county judge, "California roads do not surpass "our roads right here in Clackamas county."
