One of tbe most Important fnutort

and came to California with bis fath
er and two brothers in 18.ri0, aud set
tled thirty miles north of Han t'ran
clsoo, in Sonoma county. Three yeurs
l'iter be weut east and brought his
mother west with him, coming by the
way of tbe Isthmus of Pa nam a. In
tbe fall of 1850 be, with bis father and
brothers, bought land and woiked it
jointly, though the greater part of the
time bis father aud brother, P. W.
Shattuok, were in Ban t'rtinoisco,
tbeir time taken op with tbeir law
practioe. This method of life was fol
lowed until 1HC4, when Dickson went
to Mexloo for a stay of three yeats.
At tbe end of that time he returned
to Sonoma county and disposed of
bii interests In tbe farm. Tbe next
twelve years were spent in Lake coun

The Fruit Situation.
Tbe people ot tbe Willamette vallev
are tryiug to make themselvea believe
that tbey bave just as good apples as
tu y nave In tbe Hood Kiver valley.
So far as tbe quality ot tbe fruit is
concerned we bave apples tbat taste
just us good as those raised in Hood
Kiver orchards, but tbe truth is out
apple conditions bere are not nearly
up 10 me stpuciara sei oy Mood Kiver,
that is all. Ibis valley has a bia
amouut ot work to do before it can be
iu tbe same class as Hood Kiver when
it comes to tbe apple business, aud
we might as well face tbe inueio aud
go to work. Of course we can make
selected displays of fruit tbat may be
just as good aa tne Hood Kiver dis
pays, but there Is no question at all,
but what we are behind Hood River
u tbe geuoial condition of our or
chards and their bearing. Tbe pres
ent very eHeotlve war tbat is being
waged on posts may bring ua up to
the standard tbat shall be equal to
any, but it will take several years ol
strict enforcement cf tbe uew law to
do it. If It is done iu a milk and
water way we won't get there. Eveiy
napeotor will bave to be business all
the time, not waiting uutil tomorrow
to do things. Albauy Demooiat.

the men asked for a leave of absence

Tbe Dalles Chronicle says that tLere
is uo vacancy in The Dalles laud

register and receiver expires. Peo
ple who bave been "next" to politics
and given the matter anv thoimht
bave been satisfied that such was the
case all along, those on tbe inside
knew it.
Tbe resignation of Reg Inter Nolan
was wibtdrawn by President Roosevelt
pending invesigation nf the mattler
wbicb called it forth, wbicii, in short,
was a leanest for a repoit in connec
tion with the Sberai (and case involv

People having a knowledge ot politios
know tbat resignations are not usual

against tbem. Mr. Wnlan will no
doubtgserve out his term no matter
bow the Investigation turns out and
his successor will probably be J. 8.
Fish, who bas boon recommended for
the place by Senator t- ulton, but all
this is In tbe future and tbe numer
ous aspirants Ibat have aiiren are a
trifle premature in their announce
ments. Tbe recommendation of Mr.
Fish was without bis knowledge and
made by Senator Fulton when Mr.
Nolan's resignation was received and
aocepted by the department of tbe in
terior. While Mr. Fish has not an
nounced bis intoution, it is altogeth
er likely tbat he will announce bis
position at the proper time.
lbe Cbroniole was appraised of tbe
situation through a Washington cor
respondent, and a representative of
the Chronicle called ou Keglster
Nolan, who piomptly confirmed the
correspondent's report. In tbe oourse
of the interview M. Nolan said :
'I would like to state in terms so
plain that it would be undertsood by
some ot tbe intellects tbat ate run
ning 6x9 papers upon the proceeds of
land notices Issued by tbe legister of
this office, that I bave made no
obarges against my associate, tbat tbe
copy oi complaint, wbicb made it
necessary tbat 1 ask to be relieved be

obarges against this oftloe and not
against tbe receiver, or any other par
ticular person iu it. Tbe apuriou
dispatch from Washington, 1). C,
published In tbe Oregonian ofJMovem
ber 13, 1900, contained in itself clear
evidenoe that tbe only part of it
wbicb could be relied on was that my
resignation had been tendered and
aocepted. My resignation wos seut
from bere on October 27, and by a
letter dated November 0, 1916, 1 whs
informed by tbe seoretary ot tbe In
tel lor that the president acoeped it,
to take eliect when my successor was
elected and qualified. Uuder date of
Deoember 6, 1900, iu a letter also
from the socretaiy, 1 bave been in
formed tba-. the letter of November
6, 1906, aooeptlug my tesignation,
was withdrawn by tbe president,
pending Inquiry into the causes of it.
"It is my opinion, founded on
strong circumstantial evidence, that
the scheme to deprive Mr. Sherar ot
bis water power was concocted by Mr.
Moody and Mr. Wheaidou. The scrip
was laid upon the land wbiob was or
dered by Mr. Whealdon from a dealer
In this city after a letter from tba
commissioner cancelling indemnity
school selection, under wliloh Mr.
Sherar claims tbe land involved wus
received in tbis office and it was
ready for tiling before the clerk who
records such letters bad even seen the
letter. 1 was Informed by Mr. Mootly
that a certain man would be at our
office at 9 a. m. on January 20, 1900,
to Hie scrip for him, aud 1 was re
quested to be sure aud be there to
see that be, Moody, got none the
worst of it, as there might be other
BliugB for tbe land. I was there, the
man tiled tbe scrip, there was i:o
other person after it. I yet held some
confidence In Mr. Moody's probity, I
was culpably careless in reference to
tbe filing of tbis scrip and did not
know the description of tbe land
alteoted until noon ot the day it was
tiled, when I ascertained that the
land involved formed the important
part of tbe water power for which Mr.
Moody had offeied Mr. Sherar 100,000
in December, 1905. When 1 realized
what was being attempted, I lost tlio
vestige ot friendship aud respect,
which a former attempt to wrong a
person to whom I felt friendly bad
left me for Mr. Moody and since that
time I bave used every possible ettort
to protect Mr. Sherar iu the posses
sion of his property.
"There will now, as indicated by
the secretary's letter ot December u,
1906, be a thorough Investigation of
tbe case, and if there is any attempt
at whitewash, I may ask extensive
spaoe from you for a statement, that
may take in the whitewashes
"I wish to flnieh tbis statement
with the assertion tbat there was no
charge against my associate by the
oomplaint upon which report was de
manded by tbe oomuilbt-loner of tne
general 1 nd office by November 1,
1900, by my letter of resignation, or
by the report wbiob I commenced
immediately after writing my resigna
tion, that neither I nor any one to
my knowledge, expect ber to derive
any nnanoiai nenem rroro me piot
aganist Mr. bnerar, if it proves suc
cessful. Tbe noncoctois ot tbis plot
should come out from behind the
shelter of a woman aud Interior De
velopment Co., If it bas discovered a
Ntal flaw in Mr. Sberar's title to bia
land, and fight tbe case squarely and
fairly in tbe open."
