Tbe proeecnting attorney, he think.
I are in the beet poiition to learn of tbe
defecte In the lawa, and be wanta them
to tuggeet tb change that abonld be
made. With recommendationa before
him from all the protocoling attoineya.
the attorney general will be able to lay
before the Irgiilatnr information that
will enable that body to place tba crim
inal lawa In a much better condition
Iban they bav ever been befor.
A "r' 'g illuatratlon ol the
defective condition ol th criminal law
was lound when tha state land fraud
prosecutions were begun in Marlon
county something over a year ago.
There waa no law under which men
could be convicted after tbey bad (worn
falsely In making application for th
purchase of school lands.
There wa no statute making It a
crime to algn a fictitious nam to an ap
plication lor tb pore haa of school
land. There wa no law to be lonnd
(or th punishment of a notarv public
who afllied bia aeal to aa Instrument
which be bad drawn, and to which be
bad signed a Bcticiou nam.
At nearly every tern of court men
who sre placed on trial escape pnnieh
ment, although proven guilty, because
tha statute doe not quite cover the
crime comm'tted. It I defect ol thl
kind that Attorney General Crawford
wishes to remove. II is not seeking
to mak crime of small ofl.nse which
are of no importance, bat merely so to
correct tb law that U will be possible
to sncure conviction wben men ar
lound guilty ol act whlcb veiy on
recognise a criminal in character.

Arlington Home 30 year ago a few
men Milled on a flat about IS mile
south ol Arlington. In the crew wa
only on wagon an old Hchutler. In
om way they began calling tbi neigh
borhood Bcbnller, from th old wagon.
A few year later It was, aa it I now,
known aa Schotler Flat. Wben the
Condon branch railroad of lh O. R. A
N. Co. waa built, a station waa estab
lished near thl place, and I named
Hchutler. This ia on ol tha finest

Grain Sack Problem Serious
Pendleton The grain sack problem
promises to be serious lor the farmers
of Umatilla county, who will use 2,
000,000 this yesr. At tb present
price, 10 cent each, thl means 1200,
000 In thl county. Other Eastern
Orenon counties. It I estimated, will
nee at least 2,000,000 more, making a
total of 14,000,000 for tbia section.
Tbll entails tha expenditure of nearly
half a million dollars for grain sacks,
which, toirether with th expense of
harvesting th crop, represents an
enormous expenditure of money before

Bountiful Yield From Grand Rond
Orchard I Assured.
1-a urande It I estimated br tha
principal fruit growers of (J rand Rond
valley that tba output for thl Mellon
this year will be 400 carloads. Tba
1 1 mate on applea, whlcb ar tb largest
crop, is si 4 cars; prune. 65 car
peart, peaches, plums and cberrlee, 20
car. These figures ar considered reli
able, aa there wa but little variance in
tb different estimates given and tb
Mtlmate on prune all agreed. Tbi
forecast is made on tba expectation of
continuation of th present favorable
conditions, which could hardly be im
proved upon; tb fruit I set on th
tree as (ull a ll can be to give Brat
clans quality.
In securing th foregoing report it
waa also possible to obUin aome inter-
eating figures relative to tbe enormous
Increase in th apple orchard acreage
There ar now 200,000 apple tree in
lh a valley and of thia number UH.000
ar in (waring. That I to lay, this i
tb number of tree of five year old
and upward. F'iva year bene, wben
th whole number of tree ar In bear
ing, tbe yield of an average crop year
will be a million boxes, or about 1,666
car loads. It ia not too much to ear
that within a ahort time th apple crop
income of Hits valley will be a million
dollars a year.
Kven at tbe cider factory price of $8
per ton, ten year-old tree will on aver
age year yield at th rat of (142.63
per acre.
While the apple Is in tha ascendancy
as Ui commercial (ruit ol this valley,
the cherry plays quit a part. Can
nery representatives are her now mak
log contract lor cherrle at 4 to K
cent per pound. Tbe La Grand fruit
grower will bav about 20 ton to offer.
but tbls include only tb sweet vaile-
tiee suitable for canning, such aa Royal
Anna and Centennials.
Old cherry tree in com orchard in
tb valley have yielded a high a 800
pounds 10 tb tree. Tbe price paid
f HO per ton and at this rat old trees
will yield 13,200 and upwards per acre,
Ail meee ngure and estimate ar
baaed on a reliable (acta a ar obtain
able. It It not necessary to exaggerate
th fruit Industry of Grand Konde
Th troth it good enough.
Special Prize at Stat Fair.
Balem Th state board of agricul
tare has voted to offer three special

baker company will give a $100 wagon

that a large number ol farmer will
compete for these prise. Secretary
Durbin will supply applicant with all
tb necessary information.
Prune Promise Great Yield.
Salem Tbe tains of tbe past two
weeks have not done as much damage
to berries in tin vicinity aa expected,
and a good crop is being gathered
Tbe wet weather bat made pasturage
excellent and an enormous crop I .
sored. With few exceptions, prune
groweis report bumper crops, and in
some orchards tb duit ia so abundant
that weak limbs are already breaking.

PRELUDE TO GENERAL ATTACK
Maaaacte at Biafyatok Will Be Imitat
d In Other Cities.
Berlin, Jun 18. '.'We have every
reason to believe that th maatacr ol
Jaw at Bialystok i a rehearsal for
wholesale repetition of the atrocities of
lMt October,' Mid Dr. Paul Nathan,
preaidant of th Central Jewish Relief
league of Germany. "Our information
indicate tbat th Bialystok maancrw ia
the Mm sort of officially inspired
counter revolutionary outbreak as was
tbat at Odessa. W have learned poi
lively that tha government' allegation
that th trouble began in consequence
of the bombs being thrown at a Chris
tian religion procession by Jews is a
ridicolous falsehood. Bialystok is still
in th hands of tba drunken Coeracks,
who are determined that no Jewa shall
be allowed to escape or go nnrobbed.
"Tb military bav deserted the rail
way station and every pasting train is
held np and tb passengers plundered.
Panic reigns in t.ie neighboring vil
laM, which fear thty will be th. next
object ol attack. Numerous German
firm, and individuala ar among tb.
.offerer at Bialystok and cause the
suggestion that German intervention be
invoked."

posed that tb amendment which pro
hibit a common carrier from carrying

read: "railroad carrying commodities
it produces," in order that this amend
ment shall not conflict with pip lines,
which are constructed for th. so'e pur
pom of carrying their production. It

Tb story told by tba Associated

relating further details about tb con
dition of corpses, tb utter bestiality ol
th mob and tb inabil ty of th troop
to cope with tba excesses during tbe
nrst 'lays of tbe rioting.
It it evident from tba dispatche tbat
tb excesses assumed the character of
three cornered fight between the mill
tsry, tbe mob and armed member of
tbe Jewish Bund, wbo, Instead of sub
mitting passively to slaughter, as tbeir
unarmed co-religionists have done here
tofore, carried the war into th enemy i

"fails to describe tba awful scenes
Tb face of tb dead bav loat all hu
man Mmblanc and th corpeea (imply
ar crushed masse of flesh and bona,
soaking in blood. It is impossible to
conceive of such bestiality. Tb corpse
of Teacher Aptatein lay in tb grass
with tbe hand tied. In th face and
eye bad bMn hammered three-inch
nails. Rioters entered his bom and
after fearful outrages killed him and
murdered the rest of hi family of

ordered tha Christiana to separate

tian student nsmed Dikar protested and
waa killed on tb spot. Than all th

California Dcclaraa War on Diahont
Inturanc Companies.
San Franclaco, June 15. Th official
of California ar agreed, it la Mid, that
th insurance companiea which refUM
to meet their obligation and pay their
losses in full will not only b driven
from th state, but ruined befor tb
world, if th wideet publication of tbeir
methods can accomplish that nd. In
surance Commissioner E. Marion Wolf
ia backed by Attonwy General Webb.
Th attorney general expressed bimMlf
forcefully today regarding trj proposi
tion made by 60 eompaniel at a meet
ing in Oakland Tuesday to pay only 76
per cent of adjusted loerea.
"Under tba law of California," ba
raid, "tb (tat insurance commission
er can revoke tbe liccnM of any insur
ance company for tba atat when ther
ia cause. Certainly the payment of
only 75 per cent of losses would b
cauM. And not only would it be proof -of
unsoundness and unfltneM to do
business, but it will be tha plainest
evidence of dishonesty. It would b
cause for tb commissioner to revok
tb state license-of any company stand
ing for soch a proposition, and I know
that Mr. Wolf, whoM heart ia in th
situation, will take such action toward
companies tbat enter such an agree
ment. "Tbi i tb limit of hi power of
puniihment under th California law,
but he can go much further. Tb in
surance commissioners of all tb state
stand together. Through them, Com
missioner Wolf can advertise to all tb
world tb. dishonesty of the companies
ihat refuM to meet tbeir obligation.
I am certain that he will om that pow
er against thoss that giv. him cauM."
Ther was no change today in tbe
alignment of insurance companies on
tba proposition to make a general 25
per cent cut, bat tba companiea that
voted for full payment still hop to
win over many of those that took th
stand for a percentage Mttlement. '
