The other is about an inch and a half deep ana penetrates the plural cavity. The wound is located about an Inch and Bt half above the left nlnnle. he j tstntes, and has caused a hemorr hage which brings about a dangerous condition. The wound Itself, is not of an ex ceptionally serious nature, be told the court, but there is a possibility of infection, which might cause loss of life. Every precaution Is being taken to prevent this, he states, but tbere will be danger for at least a week or ten days.

After bearing both sides of the case, however. Judge Jones ruled that Levins must be held in Jail without bail until the condition of the wounded man is such that there is no further danger of the loss of his life. TALKING WAR AGAIN'. WASHINGTON.

"in some orchards of Bartletts have a fairly good crop. "The cherry crop (fortunately) Is light, but the quality Is excellent. On account of the present market con ditlons for this fruit, probably the smaller tho crop is the better it will be for the grower. Peaches seem to be almost a thing of the past in this county. On account of the Inability of some growers to realize good returns for their fruit in the past, they have neglected spraying their trees, so that many of them have been de stroyed by blight and other dis eases. At the present time I think I am safe In saying that there are not enough peach trees in the county to supply the local needs. i "There Is not a large acreage of - small fruit In this county, In fact not as large aa there should be, especi ally of some varieties. This la par ticularly true of early strawberries. Because of the fact that strawberries j ripen earlier here than at any other : point In the northwest (unless It may be few protected covea along the Columbia river) it is possible to re ceive the highest market price for early strawberries. Some growers this year who shipped to Portland received from four to six dollars per crate for practically their whole crop, which netted them handsome return. "Taken as a whole, the fruit crop prospects In Douglas county are very encouraging. If the growers were as sure of receiving good price for the rrnit as they are now of maturing a good crop, their lot would be prom lsing indeed." Take Steps to Stop Big Fight ATLANTIC CITY. N. J..

Valuable Ore In Perdue Section Settlement of Irish Question (Pv Associated PmV LONDON. Jute 27.

As the day was taken up by other matters the court found little time to con sider this subject, but will (Infinitely decide upon the plan to be followed before the meeting Is adjourned. There are aeverai problems to be solved by the court In making this issue of bonds. The eourt hss first to dncido whether or not It shall Is sue the 1500.000 limit or Issue only enough to take care of the demands of the highway commission for this vear. It must also decide wnetner or not It will Issue the full amount asked for by tbe commission, and turn that sum over to the state, or whether t he money shall be Issuen only as state funds are appropriated. There Is also the question as to whether or not money should be ob tained to do rural road work this fall or start the Improvement program all over the county rrext spring. These are a few of the things which must be worked out by the court which In Its Investigation Is tskln Into consideration the best policy to follow economically. It is quite probshl that the full amount will be Issued. An estimate can be obtained of the amount th highway commission will need dur ing the remainder of this year and the rest can be used to do "piece meal" work throughout the county and get the rural roads In a fairly rood condition for the winter travel. This plan will require a great deal of extra bookkeeping, a It will be neoessary to keep track of tbe amount spent In each district and subtract that amount from tbe total which the court, according to the schedule adopted. Is allowed to spend In that district. 11. MKKTKX IS (ITlZEJf. II. Merten today secured hi na turalization papers, following his taking the oath of allegiance.
