Lilburn & Son COMPLETE HOUSE FURNISHERS MR. PEARCY SAYS According to County Fruit Inspec tor Earl Pearcy, a quantity of nur sery stock has been shipped into this section of late, the major portion of which consists of petite prune trees. The fruit growers of the Willam ette valley, it is said, are not plant ing petites this year, owing to the fact that they do not get the size. However, Douglas county's climate and soil seems well adapted to the growing of petites and many ranch ers are auding materially to their orchards with this variety of nur sery stock. In most vicinities throughout the county the petites are grown successfully and Mr. Pearcy is responsible for the statement that this Is really the only community where this special variety of prunes do well as to size and quality. "The outlook for a good peach crop this season is very good," said Air. Pearcy, who has been over the county of late. "Many growers are spraying for peach leaf curl and with favorable weather conditions the prospects for a bumper crop this sea son are quite promising." . Pjof. Brown, an expert from the Oregon Agricultural College, is to visit this section during the spraying season and at several different or chards will demonstrate the control of brown rot and other diseases sus ceptible to fruit trees. The work will be carried on under the O. A. C spraying calendar. VALENTINE PARTY. Where? Maccabee Hall. Who? Aloha Club. When? Tuesday evening, Febru ary 19, 8 to 11.

The jury drawn to hear ' the case of the Douglas County Creditors As sociation vs, Mrs. Maude E. Hillyer, a money action wherein the plain tiffs acting for the real estate firm of Rice & Rice, sought to collect the sum of $126.00 alleged to be due as a commission for the sale of the Bluejay ranch, after two hours of deliberation , disagreed, breaking even three to three. The action is wound around an uncompletedi sale of property which the defendant entered into a con tract to purchase from Omar. Amel, through Rice & Rice for and in con sideration of the sum of $2,600. Mrs. Hillyer, a motion picture actress, college graduate and some- wnat of a clever linguist, testifying from the witness stand yesterday afternoon in well chosen English stated that she placed explicit faith in the judgment of Napoleon Rice he being mayor of the city, and upon nis recommendation paid over $600 as a first payment on the property in question and later gave her note in the sum of $125 to cover the real estate firm's commission. Not long after this, according to Mrs. Hillyer, she discovered that she would be un able to get a clear title to the place owing to the fact that Mr. Amel was onlv the owner of an undivided half Interest in the property, ' -the other half belonging to a party in Norway, who refused to sign a conveyance and as a result of this disclosure she refused payment of the note when It matured. Mrs. Hillyer told of there being no water on the place and that when water was needed it had to be car ried from a neighboring stream. Ac cording to her story of the affair, she was informed that there was a spring on the ranch that supplied water the year round'. "When the rains ceased," remarked the witness, "so did the spring." At the conclusion of this testl' mony, Mr. Rice took the stand and upon direct examination denied most' of the accusations as set forth by the defendant. Mr. Rice, however, stated that he did remember of Mrs Hillyer saying that she placed faith in his judgment regarding the ranch, but Mr. Rice contends that he informed her that if she intended to make a living on the place thought the price a little high. Dur ing this conference, Mrs. Hillyer is alleged to have stated that she want ed a place where she could erect a log bungalow, surrounded by scenic beauty, etc. "I knew of no other property that would answer," said Mr. Rice, "and therefore took the defendant to view the ranch which seemed to meet the requirements. Attorney O. P. Coshow, counsel for the plaintiff, in his opening argu ment to the jury, Bet the case before them quite briefly. Among other things Mr. Coshow stated that the case at issue had nothing whatever to do with the sale of the ranch, pointing out that it was merely with the note that a question -was to be decided1. Attorney John T. Long, for the defense, expounded the law covering such cases and stated that he was exceedingly sorry, that the action could not be tried in the circuit court where it would be possible for the magistrate to quote the law In instructing the jurors. "In that event," the attorney announced strenuously, there would be no question about the outcome of the case." The action finally reached tho jury shortly before B p. m. and two hours later, after taking many ballots, it was 'found impossible to reach a verdict and the jurymen were excus ed. While no motion has been made for a new trial, it is understood that a new jury will be drawn and the ac tion re-tried in the near future. In event that the case does come up for rehearing, the rumor was rife today that Mrs. Hillyer would "Kairiptfy and act as her own attorney in pre senting the case. Frank L. Woodward ........
