Yt'm Our Money.
The editor of the Exprkhb wishes to
impress the fnot upon the minds of
"those who are behind mi subscription
and otherwise, that he mds every
cent due him. We have borrowed
money from year to year in order to
continue our business, before we would
Insist upon it from those who owe lis,
but pay day is now near at hand, and
we shall be compelled to either collect,
or sacrifice what we have worked for
those many years. The amounts due
warn email, taking them severally,
and you would not mine the money,
but put these amounts together and
they make several thousand dol
lars. Will or will not our friends help
us out by paying up?

Within the last two weeks hops have
been running at the average price of
17 cts., and buyers have been buying
largely, aud all of the first or early
orders have been filled. This foioes
buyers to be somewhat independent,
and the most of those ill the state have
withdrawn their bids. A number of
growers thluk the market will .rule
higher In the uear future, but indica
tions point toward a decline instead of
a rise. As high as 18 cts. was ottered
this week by Laiabersou & Wilkes for
Geo. Pope & Co., but the trade was otT
ou account of the pool uot tieiug full,
Eighteen cents for hops is a good price,
and we think that Lebanon people

Han Francisco Examiner.
Twenty-two iflen lie in the cells at
Hie nty prison fir the crime of being
without homes or money, aggravated
bv i,eing caught asleep In the box cars
by the oil works at the protrero. There
was no money among them. Their
worldly goods consisted of seven
knives and five razors.
Nineteen of them say they have
trades, and all of them amertthutthey
have dllligently searched for employ
ment, but in vain.
Their features, language, acquaint
ance with tte country and at neral
manners for the most part indicate
that they are men of sturdy mold, ac
customed largely to country life and
rough work rather than to barroom
loafing and the vices incident to being
"toughs" in cities.
They say they hrve passed many
sleepless nights and hungry days in
searching for employment.
A man of good countenance who de
clined to give his name, said: "I am
a miller from Maryland, and I left
home many mouths ago In quest of
work. I had almut $50 with me when
I left home, but that went long ago.
I have hunted everywhere for work in
my trade, but the mills are over
crowded and turning men away. The
way I've lived has been to catch any
odd job I sould that came along, but
here I Hud nothing."
A steamship fireman said: "I came
here on the Mineola some time ago,
and have looked everywhere for any
kind of work, but everything in labor
Ib overdone. I went to sleep in a box
car because I saw it empty aud I knew
of nowhere else to sleep. I can't see
how I hurt the car or the people of this
city. I am willing to do any honest
work, but I have not found a job open.
Many a day I missed a meal or two. If
a man wants to know how long he can
live without eating, let him strike the
road for a job."
The fireman said be had tried to find
work In every state between Massa
chusetts and California, and had never
been able to secure anything further
than an occasional temporary job.
The miner iu cell No. 3 smoked his
pipe contentedly, and said the jail was
better than the street. "All I fear,"
be said, is that the jails here are not
numerous euough for all, und they
may turn us out iu the rain to give
others a turn."
"I offered to work at anything I
could get a', twenty different places,"
said another, "but I failed. I agreed
to work for $5 a mouth iu many places,
and I'd be glad to do It now, but I
have found nothing at all to do. I
can't hire a lawyer or give any bond,
so I guens I'll have to remain in jail.
This is the first time I was ever arrest
ed In my life."
As burglars are getilng to be plenti

This city got rid of about twenty
tramps Monday afternoon. When tile
south bound freight .rain came in they
were around the depot and showed a
determination to go out on that train
if it took trouble to get out. Officers
Eastland aud Matthews were there
aud induced the conductor to take ou
an empty box car and haul ttiem
away. He concluded that would be
the best way, and did so. Tramps
then commenced to rain in from all
sides, and soon a pretty fair ear load
was stowed away. Eugene Register. .

Oregon was doing herself proud. AnsT
it all happened this way, Beverai
weeks ago Arkausas raised her banner
with an apple 14 Inches in circumfer
ence. Then British Columbia saw Ar
kansas and went to 15. Later Hill
Idaho came iu with an apple, a per
fect beauty, measuring 15. This made
Oregon's smile grow dim, until she
received four apples any; one of which
exceeded 16 inches and one which
measured nearly 18 inches. Oregon
said nothing but sawed wood. Her
superintendents bad a fine rooster
made (life size) and mountedhlm on
silver plate which stood on a pedestal
of apples, the smallest of which was IS
inches. Suspended from the rooster's
bill was the 18 inch Gloria Mundl. In
black and white gilt letters the crowd
read: "Come down, Arkansawl Come
down, British Columbia) Come down,
World! Oregon's rooster is up to stay.
We show the biggest apples and droit
of all kinds."
