Although the attorneys would not announce their plans, it was intimat ed before the hearing that Dr. H. C.

Ideal Spot for Small City. i SHORT WEIGHT LARD PROVES HIS UNDOING Manager of Boise Meat Company Will Be Sentenced Today for Defrauding Customers. WOODVIL.LE, Or.. Pel.. ".To the Editor: I wish to call your atten tion to this locality. It Is In Jackson county,,, Oregon. Perhaps only half the people In' the county may know it is in Jackson county officials and men who want- votes. But that is about all. Still it U here, and will say it is the most desirable place for residence and to make money and a permanent home, 1 think. There is not a better place in tho Rogue river valley for a town. It is at the mouth of Evans creek where each summer more than 1000 inches of water emp ties into the Rogue river after many farmers take out more than two thou sand inches of water for Irrigation. Evans township has more than two townships of land that can produce as good fruit as found anywhere in the valley, all kinds of grains, and has been denuded of millions of feet of lumber and hauled to the depot and shipped away ta other parts of the country instead of manufacturing it here, giving employment to hun dreds of men and boys. But there is more than two million feot yet of standing timber on Evans creek and its tributaries that can only come via Woodvllle sugar pine, tho best of yellow pine, and millions of the best fir In southern Oregon. All can be, got to market cheaper than any place now left along this railroad. The county Judge and commissioners built a steel bridge across tho river here. It will be completed in a couple of liOISK, Idaho, Feb. 0. Judgo Dunbar today will .sentence George fechwi tzer, manager of the Boiso Butcher company and president of the Boi.-e Meat compute, who was found guilty yesterday on the charge of selling short-weight lard in pails. The law provides a maximum fine of f.100, a prison sentence of six months, or both fine and imprison ment. The decision against Schwitzor is considered a signal victory for State Pure Food Commissioner Wulli, as this is the first conviction of its kind for 23'years, or since the short weight law was placed on the statute books. The defense set up by Sehwitzcr, was that he as well as other dealers ! sold tho lard by the package instead of the pound. The pails, however, are plainly marked, designating the, number of pounds they are supposed, to contain. The evidence, showed that the dealers had short-weighted six ounces on three-pound pail, on five pound pails, nine ounces, and on ten-, pound pails, from 13 to l.'i ounces. WASHINGTON, Feb. U. -Senator Jonathan Bourne, Jr., has introduced the follow ini? bill, which was road twice and ivferrud to the committee on public lands: "A bill to' ninend the enlarged homestead act of February ID, Willi, in so far as it applies to the stale of Oregon. "Bo it enacted by the senate and house of representatives of the Unit ed States of America, in congress as sembled, that whenever the secretary of the interior shall designate lauds in tho state of Oregon as subject to entry under the net of February W. WOO, an act to provide an enlarged homestead, such lands shall besub- ject to entry under said act without tho necessity of residence: Provided, that iu such event each cntryinan under the provisions of this act shall in pxid faith cultivate not less than one-eighth of the entire area of his entry during the second year, one fourth durimr the third year and one- half duriiu; the fourth and fifth veins after the date of such entry, and that after entry and until final proof the untrynitm shall reside within the state of Oregon; Provided further, that such eutrymaii shall file in the local laud office of the district in which his entry was made a sworn state ment verified by the affidavits of two persons having knowledge of the fncts. which statoinont shall ln nurle prior to the first day of December of each year and shall show the quan tity and character of crois produeud by him and the value thereof: Pro vided, however, that no put wit shall issue to any such eutrvmtin unloss his said proof shall sjitiw that during the period of five yenrn from date of entry he has produced upon said land crops of the total value of .1."1)0."
