Weather bright iml clear, with warm
dayi and cold niglita.
Uncle Bob Carron wan in town today.
His arm in much improved.
The wheat crop in the West Branch
section is falling f;ir belowjthe averajre
yield. Instead of three thousand bush
tils, as w exacted, there will be from
three to seven hundred.
The plum crop is a month late this
year. At the present writing they are
only sufficiently ripe to gather.
Sir. and Mrs. McAlaster spent Friday
and Saturday in Mitchell as the guests
of Mrs. Oaks. They took in the town
while Mr. McAlister was getting some
blacksniithing done.
Mr. Teasly was a guest at the Central
hotel last night.
Watermelons, muskmelons, pump
kins and (quashes are being brought
into town in small quantities, but not so
email in size. One pumpkin I would
not have attempted to lift single handed,
for the reason that I could not have
reached my arm around it even if it
bad been without weight, which was
equal to my lifting capability.
A grand masquerade ball was given
by Mr. McCoy at McCoy hall, fifteen
miles above Mitchell, which proved a
very pleasant entertainment, with the
exception of a little dispute, which was
very agreeably settled by one man slap
ping the other with his revolver, and
thereafter al! was peace and quiet until
morning. The prize of five dollars was
won by Mrs. Hanson for acting best the
character she represented.
Jerome Parson met with a very seri
ous accident day before yesterday. He
had been hauling wheat from his place
on the John Dav to this place. On one
part of the road there is a very steep,
uneven grade. In coming down this, at
the steepest part in the grade his brake
gave way and in this crippled condition
lie soon found his four horses were en
tirely beyond his control. In making
short turn close ahead of him he knew
the horses must, either go directly over
the grade into the gulch, or overturn
the wagon in making the bend, and in
order to save himself he sprang from
the wagon, and in doing so be threw his
left knee out of place and sprained his
left wrist very badly. The horses, as lie
snspected, went directly over the bank
to the bottom of the ravine below, a
.'distance of forty or fifty yards. Mr.
"Parson in bis crippled condition was
- unable to stand at all, but he knew he
. must get to his horses, that were now
standing very quiet. He was gettting
-jtiite sick and faint, but bringing his
will and nerve to bear against his suffer
ing, he rolled over and over until he
reached his horses, which had a part of
"'Mi wagon etill fast to them. He undid
ihestay chain, tied it around his ankle,
ind started the horses, while he held
.'aa: to the wheel. With a span of
' Viorses ahead of him and a wagon wheel
liehinJ him, it was but the work of a!
moment until Lis limb was set as nicely
as if an experienced physician had been
bungling with it. He unhitched a
Jiorse, mounted and rode to Mitchell, a
jnile and a half above, where he got the
use of a wagon and men to help him.
They returned to the place of disaster,
gathered up scattered grain and the
fragments of his wagon. Neither of the
horses was hurt in the, least. The next
morning Mr. Parson was unable to
walk without the assistance of a crutch.
His knee was very badly swollen and
very painful, but not in the least
daunted, be started for home driving
his own team. E. V. E.

Having paid for learning all these facts
let us go to work and do tetter if we can.
My only object has been to do some
good; circumstances made It impossible
to succeed during August when fruit

Kuitoh CiiBoxti LK. As there seems
to be considerable interest taken in the
'seedlefs apple subject" by the Chroni
cle household, I will throw what little
light I can on the question.

a stock of what is known as the seedless
apple. This apple originated In Vir-

in Seotember and has been better ever and healthy about fifteen years ago ana
since, but eastern cities were surieiieu
with fruit in August, and California
growers lost a hundred dollars where
Oregon growers lost one.
A car of pears from the great Wallace
orchard sold for less than you quote and
Portland dealers lost thousands on their
own shipments made at that time.
Yours truly,

OREGON NEWS.
MERELY AN OFF YEAR.
The Earls Fruit Company Ifandad
Mr. 8. A. Clark.
by
Ed Chkomcle : In a recent issue you
criticise the Earl Fruit Co. and rather
denounce its ways. I simply wish to re
assert they pursued the same methods
here practiced in California. They
charge there for refrigerator cars, made
or the purpose, the same as here ; the
same charge is mado for loading cars,
and a commission, of course, for that is
the company's income.
The fruit car of California holds twice
as much ice as the Wick's car of the
Union Pacific and is especially for fruits,
while the U. P. refrigerators are for fish
and meats and carry the fishy flavor
often.
When in California in April I tried to
bring for the nse of Oregon fruitgrowers
the same business system that has sue
ceeded in that state, and did so, but we
had the financial panic against us and
the result is losses to all. The growers
have many of them lost. I certainly
have lost heavily, and the Earl Co. is
thousands out of pocket.
Now I suggest that it is as well to quit
recriminating remarks and improve our
experience as well as we can. If you
can learn that my statements made
above are incorrect then find fault and
condemn, but until then there Is no
cause of complaint.
A box of pears cannot be taken to
Chicago by express for a dollar; an
Oregon company cannot act here without
expense and cannot handle fruit at the
east without paying a commission ; it
cost me $10 to load a car here at Salem
this summer. It is easier to find fault
than to do good work or insure success.
Oregon fruit is more tender and will not
Sixty-five arrests have been made of
the La Grande Chinese evictors.
Miss Eugenia Shelby, Portland, has
been selected by Mayor Mason to touch
the button which is to launch the war
ship Oregon in San Francisco shortly.
Miss Shelby is a native of Oregon and
granddaughter of the late Gen. Lane.
John Hanson, convicted of wile mur
der, and John Keiter, convicted of the
murder of Victor Snelling, were sen
tenced by Judge McBrido at Astoria
Wednesday to be hanged in sixty days.
Within four months from the time they
committed their crimes they will be
dead.
J. B. MeUler was arrested in Portland
for having an obscene picture in his
possession, which, it is alleged, he
showed to Leopold Bloch, the li-year-old
son of J. Bloch, with intent to cor
rupt the morals of said minor. The
crime with which he is charged is a
penitentiary offense, the lowest penalty
being a fine of f 1,000.
Uddo Nordstrum, an Astoria lad 8
years of age, was accidentally shot by
his elder brother W ednesday with a
38-calibre Colt's revolver. The bullet
penetrated the abdomen, inflicting
fearful wound, and the little fellow is
not expeeted to live. Both lads were on
their way from school and found the gun
lying by the roadside.
On account of the lateness of the season
several threshers throughout this county
will hereafter run Sundays as well as the
regular working days, as the season is
far advanced and farmers are clamoring
to get their grain threshed so that they
can haul their wheat to the market be
fore the inclemency of the weather pre
vents them from doing so. Moro Observer.

this tree were brought to Wisconsin by
an officer of the I'nion army about the
year IStU and presented to Mr. Charles
Waters, who was at that time a nursery

jlit. Lditoh : 1 see in your paper
that the iurv failed to agree In the case
of the state vs. Win. Watson for tearing
down J. H.Mosier's fence, he supposing
it to be obstructing the county road,
which can be proven it is not and never
did. When he hitched his team to my
fence and pulled down fifteen yards of it
he knew he threw open seven hundred
acres of land, besides letting my sheep
all get together. Consequently my
ewes will Iamb in January and the
lambs will be a total loss. I wish to
state that this fence has Wen built for
thirty-five years and I never knew there
was a law to uphold any man in tearing
or pulling down a fence on a person's
own property. I will say right here,
that if any man says I have fenced or
obstructed the public highway in any
way, shape or form, he is a liar and the
truth is not in him. The state and
county road was fenced Bp about a year
ago by one Milton Harlan, the road the
public travel is on my land, it was made
as a shorter and more convenient way,
has never been obstructed by me, and
Mr. Watson or any other man is per
fectly welcome to travel it. I have al
lowed the public a road and gateway
through my premises to the depot in the
place most convenient for the general
hauling business, only stipulating that
the gate be closed by those using it. I
cannot see what more just or satisfactory
arrangements could be made. In con
clusion any interested person or parties
can see the grounds, roads, etc., and
judge for themselves whether I have ob
structed any county or public roadway.
Yours Respectfully,
J. 11. Mosieh.

Something Wrong Somewhere.
A fruit grower has received a letter
from the Earl company requesting him
to find about $14 more to put up to the
company, after selling his fruit and
keeping all the money for expenses, and
in case he is out of monev. as miirht
reasonably be expected, after paying
his help and other expenses from last
year's capital, wants him to sign a note
for the amount, bearing 8 per cent, in
terest, payable next year in fruit, to be
again shipped by the Earl company.
The gentleman announces flatly that he
will not do it, and invites proceedings
that will compel him to do so. Con
ceding that what Mr. Clark said in yes
terday's Chhosicle is true, that on ac
count of the poor prices realized for fruit
this year, shipments were attended
with loss, the same with California as
with Oregon growers, it is yet to be ex
plained wby the Earl company extended
their field to Oregon in the face of their
losses in California. Ordinary business
prudence should have suggested to them
that it was no time to reach out for
more business, when they were losing
steadily from the outset. The anger of
the shipper receiving the bill is quite
natural. No one likes to pay a tax for
the privilege of having their fruit sold.
On the other hand those here who
shipped independent of the Earl com
pany got fair returns, and made money
out of the season.
