He notices many decided improve ments at Provolt, since ha left here. He thinks that labor this spring will be more plentiful and says that when the weather gets milder many men will go into the eastern part of the state to work. Tbe hop men propose to let their yards remain idle this season, on ac oouut of the extremely low prices which have prevailed the past year or to. Several yards will be grubbed up, among them the Provolt, Sonson and the one at Williams, formerly owned by B. W. Williams and theee trade will be turned Into meadow in the spring. Suoh action will take away the employment that has heretofore been found at hop-pioking by 180 women and children. The prohibition question cuts quite a big figure in this matter. It looks very much as though liquor silling would be shut out of the stats and, people of Applogate Valley will vote very strongly that way. UNCLE FULLER.
