Hop Yards Around Scio.
So far as wc can learn, every ono of
the many hop yards in the vicinity of
Selo, that was not plowed up Inst
year, will be ciiltlvnied this season.
Some of the growers are now busily
at work pulling their yards hi older
and will lie at work In a few duys, the
weather permitting. Home of the
growers have made contracts for their
products, but llie most of them prefer
to assume all risks themselves and oli
taln all the advance lu price that all
hope will occur.
Wm.and Jake Bilyeu have leased
the Marion Alexander yards.
Ed Daley has leased the T. J. Munk
ers yards and is now putting them in
order. Some weak thief baa entered
his hop house some lime during the
past year and carried off all of the
ropes and some of the pulleys. Ed
does not feel in an overly good humor
about the mailer and is on thejookout
for the thief.
Mr. Giant Davis, of Bilverton, has
leased the Phillips yards and has com
menced plowing the same. Mr. Davis
is a snn in-law of G. W. Phillips, from
w horn he leases.
Should fur. ii ne favor our growers
with reasonably fair prices, together
with what will be paid for picking,
Scio ought to experience considerable
relief from the money lamlue of the
last two or three years. Scio Press.

When News is Scarce.

When news is scarce.
The very earih seems oft its base,
When news Is scarce.
The clouds take on a duller bue,
Our souls absorb the deep sky'a blue,
The storms of bell begin to brew,
When news is scarce.
Our peaceful dreams all vanished are,
When news is scarce.
Inhuman thought our reveries mar,
Vv hen news is scarce.
We long for riots, tights and brawls,
For ships destroyed in sudden squalls,
Fur children crushed 'ueath tailing
walls.
Wbeu news is scarce.
A thief's a manna-feeding sprite,
When news is scarce.
Murderers' deeds seem strangely right,
When news is scarce.
The vilest deeds ot fact or pen,
That ever came to mortal ken,
Would welcome be to paper men,
When news is scarce.

Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
Absolutely pure
Transacts Business Without a Quorum.
The concluding article of "This I
Country of Ours" series by ex-President
Harrison appears in the March
Ladies' Home Journal. It completes
"The Senate and House of Representa
tives" article. In It General Harrison
gives tills interesting view of the work
ings of Congress: "A majority of each
house, under the constitution, consti
tutes a quorum for the transaction of
business. If a quorum Is not present,
and that fact Is disclosed by a yea and
nay vote, business must Btop until a
quorum is secured. But the members
present are empowered by tho consti
tution to adjourn from day to day and
'to compel the attendance of absent
members, in such manner, and under
such penalties as each house may pro
vide.' A great deal of business is done
in both the senate and house when a
quorum is not present, the absence ot a
quorum not being officially disclosed
by a roll-call. The sergeaut-at-arms is
not an infrequent attendant at sot lei
receptions and dinners, but always an
unwelcome one when be comes to de
mand the attendance of truant sena
tors or members upon their re9pectiye
bouses. One-fifth of the members pres
ent may demand a vote by yeas aud
nays, and the vote must lie recorded in
the journal which each house is re
quired to keep of its proceedings. This
journal does not include the debates,
which are, however, published in full
daily iu the 'Congressional Record.'
"The senators aud members are priv
ileged from arrest, except for treason,
felony or breach of the peace, while in
attendance upon their respective
bouses, and while going to aud return
ing from the meetings of congress. A
member may be 'punished by the house
to which be belongs for disorderly be
havior, and by a two-thirds vote of the
house may be expelled."

Dr. Maberiy and Hugh Fulton are
busy raising funds for the purpose of
stocking the Boise valley with Chinese
ring-necked pheasants, says the Boise
Statesman. It is their intention to
send to Oregon for 100 of these birds,
which they hope to have shipped by
the latter part of April, us the birds :
nest in May and June. Upon their ar
rival In Boise they will be turned loose
at various points over the valley.
Until 1900 the birds will be protected
by law. Dr. Maberiy and Mr. Fulton
think that by that time the valley will
be full of pheasants.
Some two years ago an efiort was
made to propagate them in Garden
valley, but failed owing to the fact,
that their wings were clipped, in con
sequence of which they were captured
by the coyotes.
