To this end meetings have been held, and a draft of a new proposed constitu tional amendment Is being compilod. according to report. Many of the strongest friends of the Oregon system balked at the rad ical constitutional amendment which, the Peoples Power League has caus ed to be printed and distributed. Vari ous organizations, such as tho State Orange, went on record against It, and progressives who have stood with V S. ll'Rcn In the past when he evolved n new Idea, refused to swal low his cabinet form of government.

Prank Cannon, tho sheepman who shot nnd killed the editor of tho Chewaucan Press at Paisley, Lake county, the Jury exonerated the slav er of L. R. Jones. District Attorney Kuykendall stat ed this afternoon, when Informed by the Herald that Cannon had been acquitted, no far as a coroner's Jury could do so; of-tho crime, of nnrder. that he would Investigate the mat ter. "A coroner's Investigation," said Mr. Kuykendall, "Is presumed to make In all cases a transcript of the testimony It undertakes to hear. Tbls I presume, was dono In this case. The reported exoneration of Cannon car ries with It simply a preliminary re view of the case. There are some men pushed to extremities who will use tho excuse for their criminal acti that their homo has been wrecked; but since I havo not received any tan gible testimony of the actual nature of the trouble, I cannot say any more than that I will await It and be guid ed accordingly. Rut It n crime has been committed I will, so far as I cau, prosecute tho criminal to the last ex tremity, and see that punishment Is Imposed." A l.akovlew dispatch gives the fol lowing version of the tragedy; Prank Cannon, a prominent sheep man of Lake county, shot and killed L. R.Vones of Paisley. Cannon was returning homo from tho aheop camp, and found Jones with Mrs. Cannon. Jones fled to tho woodshed and Can non shot and Instantly killed htm. Jones wns editor of the Crewaucan Press of Paisley. Mrs. Cannon Is tho daughter of ono on tho oldest pio neers of Lake county. Tho preliminary hearing will be held today. W.

It is thought here that conviction Is hardly possible considering the stato of the feeling among tho people here. tZV) WORTH OATHF.nP.D HF.RK THIS HPIUXU Citizens Have Heen Feasting on Ilia Palatable Mushroom as a Result of the Continuous Italna Till Sea sonPlata Xeur City Have Heen Cotcrcil Could He Cultivated for Market With Profit That mushrooms can be successful ly grown for market In Klamath coun ty Is tho opinion of Dr. E. Westerfeld. who Is well Informed on the growth of fungi, and Is very fond of mush rooms for the table. Tho doctor was out early this morning and gathered In a basketful or more of mush rooms, growing on tho Hats near the city, and has planned a feast to which he has invited a number of his friends. "I am convinced," said Dr. Wester- field, "that mushrooms can bo grown here with profit, but I do not antici pate that nny wilt bo shipped out, as they nil can bo disposed of here. When I began gathering mushrooms about flvo weeks ago I could pick them up by the basketful, but now you nlmost have to fight for them, as many others havo learned about them and aro gathering them. Mr. Westerfeld states that he has only found three varieties of mush rooms here. The agaricus campes trls, commonly known ns the culti vated variety. This Is a large fungi with pink lamelae, and are found In the grass In the pastures, and as they grow out In the sunlight, are easily cultivated. The agaricus rodmanl Is ofteu found out In tho streets, and the chABUlgooiw:or,flager-rlng, la found bore In considerable quantity. This Is the small mushroom one gets In the restaurant when they order steak smothered In mushrooms. it Is generally supposed that mush rooms only grow In wet places, but while they need plenty of moisture they also need well drained soil. They are found on ridges where the drain ago Is good, and the soil cannot be too rich. Mr. Westerfeld secured somo toadstools and puffballs, simply to show the difference botwecn them and varieties of edible fungi. Puff balls and the toadstool family are un der the branch of tho sac fungi, and tho mushrooms belong to the rod o. club fungi. There nro between 250. 000 and 300,000 varieties of fungi, but not all of them are edible. It Is estimated that not less than $260 worth of mushrooms have been gath ered near Klamath Falls this spring. Dr. Hamilton reports tho blrtb of a 9-pound boy to Mr. and Mrs. S. O.
