DIDN'T WAYLAY THE ROAD J. H. Roblnaon Tell of Wilder- villa Episode. Editor Courier: I son in your paper of August lilth in the Wilderville notes, that "J. Sams, while going home from his work one day last week was annulled by a couple of scoundrels who had waylaid the road aud as he was the first to pass, was attacked. " Now, I can say thut your correspondent was either wrongly informed or maliciously misrepresented the facts in the case. As this casts a reflection on Wilder ville and community that the people will harbor "scouudrols" and not hunt them down aud bring them to justice, I deem it duo the readers of the Conrier, to givo them a true state ment of the case. Thera is a private road across the premises of Jneob Wagner and John II. Robinson, which is used only by the above nam ed parties, except by permission of the owners. There ura two rond across John II. Robinson's place One around his feuco and one into his Held. People sometimes make mistakes and drive in'o the field across grain, clover and potuto patches. To get rid of t ho above named nuisance, and ns Kobiusou bus liocn iloing some slashing outside the field, along 1 1 io outer road, preparatory to eularging iiis fluid, ho put up a tres pass notice, forbidding farther nso of said roads. J. Sams and son, who work at the Williams Brothers' saw mill,, per sisted in crossing Robiusou's land, after the tresiiass notice had been posted up, and Robinson's two boys who hud been working in the hay field nearby, culled Mr. Sum's attention to the notice, and asked him if he had not read it, and why he disregarded it. The boys had wired the gate on the line between Wuguer and Robinson and told Mr. Sams not to come through onto their land any more. Sams put his hand through the gate and attempted to unfastou the wire, oue of tlio boys pushed his baud i way, utid Sams struck him Herons the gate, aiid tlio boy struck back and hit Mr. Sams in the faco. Sams, after tongne-lnshiug the boys, left them and went around Robinson's place. Now, who did tho trespassing? Who did the assaulting? If there is any "scoundrel in tne case, who is ho? Yours respectfully, John II. Kobiusou. LICE IN WEBFOOT HOPS Willamette Valley Growers Are Annoyed by Pest. The hop crop is likely lo be injur ed by lice in the Willamette Valley this year unless tho weather turus wanner. Damp, cpol weather con duces to the multiplication of these pests, according to a well known grower of Aurora, ajiokon to today, and muliy of the leaves of the vines are already been killed, snys a Tele gram correspondent. We have just gotuu over tho scare about the vines not growing us they should," he said, "and now the lice problem confronts us. Sprariug will be beneficial in some instances, but a few hot days would lie ls-lter than all the spraying we could do, as it is ditlicult to reach the under part of the heavy vines w ith a spray pump. Hop picking will probably lx'giu about the 'ith of next month, and there is still timo for the situation to be much im proved." He looks for fair prices as buyers are already in the field, offering an advance over recent quotations. There is still a large amount of last year's crop on hand, owing to the fact that growers refused a cents last winter aud demanded ill. "Farmers lost con siderable by not wiling," he said, "as the market is now down lo 1? and 18 cents. " Cheap Rate far Mining Congress The Southern Pacific has granted a rate of one and one-third fare for the Stute Miner's Association convention, to be held ill Portland ou September 7. W. K.
