that in the thre years of his resi
dence he has failed to pay tho rent
money. Mossa, who recently return
ed from army service, entered suit
to col'et the amount due and to
eject Lesina. An attempt was made
to garnishee payment on turkeys
but the $70 wi paid before the
Ihipers were served. An attachment
was secured on tho automobile own
ed by the defendant and tlie con
stable was instructed to serve the
papet-B. According to Mr. Dillard he
went to the place eary this morning
accompanied by .Mr. Mossa. and read
the document to Mr. Les-ina, who re
used to accept it. Mr. lMUard laid
tne pafier down and started to pro
ceed with (the attachment, where
upon Lesina Is said to have attacked
Mossa with a club. Tho constable en
tered the fracas and LeBlna grabbing
a stove top attempted to strike the
officer.. He was placed under arrest
and after a struggle was placed in
the auto and started for Koseburg.
The car became stalled pw Roberts
mountain and upon reaching the
suniliril the prisoner made a move
to pick up a rock as a weapon,
whereupon Mr. Dillard pulled his
revolver and threatened to kill Le
Bina If he made any further resist
ive. He was bnoucht Into the Just
ice court, where he was confronted
with the charges. Ho was informed
that the case will be dropped pend
ing (his good behavior but .that in
the event he makes a "break" he will
bo prosecuted on the serious charge.
At a meeting of Uie board of of

of tho church to the summor onion
meetings was thoroughly discussed,
and the following resolution was
passed: Resolved that tltlB church
has tried to participate In all the
union services of the summer, but
lowing to the fact that during the
t liautuuqua the sunuay nigm serv
ice of that time was voted on this
church over the protest of the pas
tor which service was very lightly
attended because of the Cliautnuqua:
Alnd owing.to the fact that the serv
ice of next Sunday night una taken
from this church over the protest of
the pastor and with apparently no
good reason, the church board un
animously voted that there seemed
to bo no further ,il:ice for tluis con
gregation in the union meetings of
the summer and the pastor waa in
structed to resumo all regular serv
ices beginning Sunday, Aug. 24.

LOGANBERRIES ARE
MORTGAGE LIFTERS
Kellogg Man Has Three And
Half Acres ;Which Bring
Him $2370.00.
FOR SMALL GROWERS
Fxdljwes lletuniK from lVimo iinci
lVar Orcluirds. Fvergreon I Hark--berries
Will Do Praclcally As
Well. No Long Waits.
Two thousand three hundred and
seventy dollars is the exact sum that
T. P. George, a Kellogg farmer,, re
ceived ttor his 1919 Loganberries.
and this small furtune wus realized
from a Held of three and tvno-half
acres. Hut, then this is Douglas
county, so perhaps after all It Is not
to bo wondered at. Just the mime,
that $2:170 looks mighty good to a
who'.o lot of people who are pinning
Lhefr faith to a small fruits and
hea vy plantings t h rou ghou t t he
county Indicate that tho berry in
dustry here is just getting iiilo u
position to be recognized. .
Mr. George planted his berries
seven years ago, and has been keep
ing ,tn em in good condition. Tho
field Is on a hill about 600 feet above
the level of Mio IJmpqua river near
Kellogg, k has no irrigutiou, but
was given adequate cutivation and
the vinos properly trellisod. The
crop whb told to the Sulherlin Fruit
Products Co.. and yesterduy the
grower got Ms check for the amouni
due $2370. In the green state tlu
berries weighed approximately 'A2t
750 pounds. In the evaporated form
they weiKhed almost fiooo pounds.
Sneaking of this really wonderful
yield Mr. Frank .1. Norton, manr.ger
of the Stitherlin Fruit Products Co..
plant at SuUherin, stated today that
it.wiiH Jiot phenominal, us Loganber
ries have been known to bring more
than a thousand dollars to the acre
when in full bearing-
rrhese figures completely eclipse
some of the prune and pear yields re
ported, and Indicate that small fruits
are tho practical sorts for the small
grower to jtie to. More then that,
there is no long waiting for orchards
to grow necessialing expense to the
owner whlo his trees are coming
Intjo bearing. Logajns that nre set
out 'In the fall will become producers
in a year and the expense of plaut
ng ,trellisiug etc., is only nominal.
According toMr. Xorton and othor
experts, the Evergreen Blackberry is
nearly as profitable as the Logan
berry. It is very hardy and the first
year's loss, while the vines are ma
turing, is the only unprofitable time
sustained by (the grower.
It Is believed that the prohibition
saw la parl'ially responsible for the
great demand or berry juices as
jeverages u(id it is pointed out by
tho.e in close touch with the indu
itrv. that there is no poKslbilty, of
overdoing the business for at least
many years t'o come.

FOUND AT SUTHERLIN
Artesian water was discovered on
tho J. C. CnmplK'll farm, three miles
oast or SulherWn, yesterday after
noon, when tho well drill owned by
E. C. Holnselmun broke through bed
rock opening up a subterranean
stream that immediately began to
function. Tho well Is six inches in
diameter and although on a hill side
considerably above the level of the
valley, is said to bo flowing quite,
strong. It Is aso understood that
a depth of 'less than 100 tent, had
been drilled. Many farmers of the
neighborhood and iretly much
everybody in Snlherlin are jubilant
over the find as it is generally be
lieved the fact has been established
that artesian water exists in the
victority and thr.t other wells will) be
sunk to prove the truth of the assumption.
