orchards over other purts of the val

The disease makes Itself manifest
by killing the twlga and young
sprouts of the trees. It attacks spurs

work back to the main limb finally

tirely at a loss to account for it
It Is thought that the cold, rainy
weather may be responsible and that
the Infection is In the nature ot a
rot. Its actions support that theory
to a certain extent but there are
many new features heretofore not
seen In plant diseases. It may be
that the continued. warmth will over
come the disease nnd that no injury
will result. It is at least hoped that
such will be the case but as yet noth
ing can be decided definitely. County
Faruit Inspector E. C. Armstrong has
made several trips to Days Creek to
study the disease and has taken the
matter up directly with specialists at
the college and Is expecting a report
within a very short time.
In other ways the prune crop seems
to be in excellent condition. The fruit
appears to be well set and the blos
soms which were very profuse have
resulted in a vromiee of a great crop.
However, the usual drop has now
i commenced and unf.'l this Is ever the
ultimate crop will be uncertain.
There is a prospect for an excellent
prune crop this year and there Is no
doubt of a bounteous yield of apples.
Pears are also showing up much bet
ter than bad been expected and from
the pretent outlook about the only
damage that Jias resulted hss been

TOMBSTONE. Ariz.. May 1 H. K.
Wooton. c: arged with kidnapping in
connection with the lllabee deporta
tions of July 12, 1917, was found
not guilty last night.
Harry Edward Wotton. a hard
ware dealer of Bisbee, Arizona, was
the first of more than 200 defend
ants to be tried on a charge of kid
napping In connection with the de
portation (IT 1,186 striking copper
miners and their sympathizers from
nisbee to Columbus, New Mexico on
July 12, 1917.
In Arizona the penalty tor kid
napping is imprisonment for not less
than one nor more than ten years.
The story of the deportations, as
told In a report of the mediation
commission appointed by President
Wilson and headed bv Secretary of
Labor. William B. Wilson. Is briefly
as follows:
"Esrly on the morning of July
12. the Sheriff and a large armed
force, presaminr to act as deputies
under the sheriff's authority, com
prising about 2.000 men, rounded up
1.186 men In the Warren district,
nut them aboard a train, and carried
them to Columbus. New Mexico. The
authorities at Columbus refused to
permit those In charge of the depor
tation to leave the men there, and
the train carried them back to the
desert-town of Hermanus. New Mex
ico, a near by station. The deportees
were wholly without adnnnate sup
nly of food and water and . shelter
for two devs. At Hermnnus. the de
po-tod men were abandoned bt the
e-uards who had brought them, and
they were left to shift for themsel
ves. The situation was brought to
the attention of the war department
and on July 14 the deporteeswere
escorted by troops to Columbus,
where they were mslnts'nei hv th
government until the middle of Sep
tember." The defense sought to be made on
betiaSf of Wotton. who was specifi
cally charged with k'dnappng Fred
W. Brown, now a deputy sheriff of
Coshlse counttv, but at the time of
the deportations, a representative
of the American Federation of La
bor, was that the law of neeessltv
lust'fled the sllerd -lnt-l--nt
statute law. Captain Harry C. Wheel,
er. veteran of the Spanish American
War and of the Great war. who was
sheriff rlf Corhlse county st the time
of the deportations, snd w'.:o renest
edlv assumed full responsibility for
them, declared upon the witness
slnnrt that he decided upon the de
portation as the only means of safe
irnardlng the lives and the pronertv
of the peonle of the Warren district
and of nrotectlng the Interest of the
United States Government. The strik

A campaign for "the city beauti

Douglna County Realty Board under
the direction of Napoleon Rice, presi
dent of the organization, and former
muyur of the city. If the preseut
plans materialize.
People have said that Dsautliying
the homes of tho city Is my hobby,"
Mr. Rice said today, "and I guess
hey are right. It Is my hobby aud
will be until I am dead and burled.
I see so much that could be done to
make Rnneburg the most beautiful
Ity on the Pacific coaat. It Is only
a small Job for each person, but
with the co-operation of all it could
be easily accomplished.
When I loft the position of mayor
I thought that there was nothing
more I could do In that direction,
but now I find that In the realty
board there is even -a greater field
than formerly. However, before I
can proceed I must have the support
of the cw. liens and taxpayers of the
city. I have talked with a great
many of them aud know that they
are anxious to see our plans put Into
nD-Tiillon. but we must have some
official authority In order that some
of our plans may be carried out. To
this end we will ask the city council
for permission to proceed with our
nlnns, and it this Is given we Intend
to start a campaign which will with
out doubt result In the .beautifying
of t lis greater majority of the homes
ami residence sites In ltoseburg."
Mr. Rice has a number of excel
lent plana and ideas which can be '
put Into execution during the sum
mer and full months and by next
spring a wonderful showing will he
made. During his term In the office
of mayor he accomplished wonderful
results, transforming the ram
shackle city hnll Into a building
which Is known up and down the
coast for Its besuty. "ew people of
Rosi'burg know that the Ivy covered
walls of the structure, with the rosea
of spring and summer peeping thru

Hint attracts tourists for many miles,
but yet such Is the case. A few
years c;o thu building was surround

ability l here and then In the cam
paign fol belter yards which fol

lieariiiire of thu city was wrought,
ih" city will greatly benefit by the
T-Hiiipuign which Mr. Rice expects to
pui on through Ihe realty board,
with lie co-operation of the city
council,- If all ot the residents will
p.hsIhI, but there can be no holding
back nnd all must be ready to aid In
every way possible the attempts to
make the city a more beautiful place
In which to live.
Not only will Ihla Improvement

hut It will he a matter of dollars and

way of tourists. If the homes of
ltoseburg enn he made attractive and
if ilu, clty'can be so beautified that
fame fill spread It will be worth
many thousands of dollars as a pub
licity scheme for bringing people to
this city to make their home.
There are several definite matters
to be taken up with the city council
before the plans can he put Into oper--ttion.
nnd these will be discussed
loiul.iv night at the regular meet
