The August number of Better Fruit, a
new publication just started at Hood
River, reached our desk this morning. It
is a mechanical gem and filled with much
matter of genuine interest for the fruit
grower or distributor. It deserves success.

AUGUST TOR CRIME
Criminal cases come by twos, threes,
fours and half dozens, not singly, says the
district attorney. In his experience of
several years as prosecutor and deputy
prosecutor, Mr. Phelps has discovered
there must be something in the weather or
general conditions that causes criminal
acts. For several weeks peace reigned
tnroughout Umatilla county, then came a
flood of wrong doing the other day that
was surpiising in its extent from Walla
Walla to the Morrow county line. It is
also noticeable that criminal acts occur
with greater frequency during deg days.
The humor of men seems to be different
at such times. They are more irritable,
gloomy and mean. In this county nearly
every August is a month of criminal
record. During one September term of
court 15 men were sent to the penitent
iary. Another six. More murders have
occurred in this county in August during
recent years than during any other period
of three month's time. Such things can
scarcely be mere nappenings. The regu
larity of the occurrences indicates, at least,
that there is some general rule or law
governing the actions of men of criminal
tendencies. Pendleton Tribun?.
