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.

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.

SALlfiM, Feb. 15, Governor
Withycombe has requested Attorney
General Brown, ' District Attorney
Geo. Neuner, of Douglas county, and
the district attorney of Coos county
to assemble data showing that Ore
gon has not been remiss regarding
the Coos Bay Wagon Road grant. All
of the data so obtained will be for
warded to the public lands committee
or congress. This action has been
taken in order to further protect
Oregon's interest'in these lands, as
there is a plan on foot to have them
forfeited to the government, in which
event the state will lose rights to
valuable properties.1 - .',:

ed or amended to our disadvantage
However, I will learn the true situa
tion and keep you advised."

Retinoid Still Missing.
Joe Redfield, only son of Mr. and
Mrs. B. E. Redfield, of this city, and
who was on the torpedoed Tuscania,
Is still missing, says the Glendale
News. He has not been reported
among the dead and as there are sev
eral Oregon boys still unaccounted
for, the many friends of the Redflelu
family are hopeful that he will yet
be found among the survivors. Mean
while, the suspense is almost unbear
able, and' has cast a gloom over the
entire community.
Mining Man Here.
J. O." Anderson, the -expert miner
who has had charge of the cinnebar
properties at Elkhead during the last
year, was in town yesterday and to
day. Mr. Anderson says that he has
uncovered another ledge of the ore
and that It Is by far richer than any
thing yet found in the workings. The
company owning the mine Is endeav
oring to sell sufficient treasury stock,
which is fully paid and non-assess
able, to develop the properties. It
is desired to increase the plant so
that at least 100 tons of ore can be
handled dally, as the present equip
ment is too limited.
THE PROOF AT HAND.
The firm or individual who is con
tent to do just average work is find
ing their lot bare of roses. They
never have scored a pronounced suc
cess and never will. Equally bitter
is their lot when they promise qual
ity and deliver the reverse. If ; we
had not made our quality of work,
and service equal to our promises,
and of the highest standard.' we
would' have passed into deserved
oblivion years ago. - j ,.
A trial will convince you.
