"Forgery Is one of the easiest crimes
lo be successfully carried out at the
.' Initial period, also one of the easiest
crimes detected when once suspicion
Is aroused. ' The young man In Baker
City, after being caught, which was
only tho work of a few hours, found
himself headed for the penitentiary.
Another thins, as a rule this crime is
committed by men of more than or
dinary intelligence, and In view of so
ft that eseup detection and Impris
onment, it has 'always puzzled . th
xourts why it Is so common.
The fact that the Union Stockyards
are reported to be contracting on
year in advance for stock, is suffi
cient to lead growers lo believe that
the present profitable prices will con.
tlnue In the future.
Th young man who forged n deed
o the property of the Oxbow power
It Vill have two years in which to
think out whether or not these get-rleh-qulek
schemes pay or not.
BAKER SPARRING MATCH
In a bixlng content for points that
went 1! out of tho 15 rounds sched-
" aled, fciily Tloss got a decision over
Kid Harris last 'evening before some
J50 people In tho Armory skat lug
rink, says the Thursday Uaker Demo
crat. The exhibition wns tho 'main
vent of the evening and was preceded
by two clever, mix-ups between Kid
Jjewls and Oscar Ilardmon, and Frank
Pierce and Prank Oun. In ull the
program made up absolutely tho best
athletic entertainment of tha sort ever
given In Baker City.
For 10 rounds In the -.main event
Ross' and Harris were pretty evenly
matched, although at tho ftrt of ihi
game the nefro boy had somewhat tho
test of it, showing fast, cleverness both
in boxing and footwork, but after the
fifth round Ross pulled himself to
gether and made good on his reputa
tion as a stayer, coming back stronger
from round to round until, In the
'eighth, ninth and tenth rounds neither
fijrhtvr had much on the other.
-When time was onlld for tho 11th
round lioss undertook to mix matters
and drove the other man Into tho
ropes, where; they clinched. Referee
.Hirsch had scarcely separated: the men
when Rom put the colored boy to the
floor with a right swing on the Jaw.
Harris wns up at the count of five,
and again the fighters mixed with a
trift exchange "f body blows in which
roa-s drove thr- other into the ropes on
Oie other sldVnf the ring where they
clinched and had barely separated
when time was called.
The Cenrralla boy thn followed tip
Ms 1!atlt.et advantage In the 11th
round b" rnshlne ills opponent In the
opening-'of the 12fh. Harris led for
Ross" bot'y but failed and tho Well
ington fiphter then landed n stiff left
awing on the point of the Jaw. Har
ris wen to the floor, tiled to regitin his
feet, but failed, and was counted out.
In tho seventh round the colored lad
truck Ross, while the latter was on
tils knees, but although many of the
onlookers protested. It wns not deter
mined a foul.'

INDICATIONS AT THIS TIME
IS ENORMOUS FRUIT CROP.
Fruit Inspwtor SIM In InrknM as lo
Exact Duties and Limitations
Union Preliminary Insjiex'tloii Imll
' cules RemarkablCf Crop Ttiere.
Early indications among orchards
of Union and Cove are that the crop
of 1909 will be aomethlng grand.
County Fruit Inspector Garrlt Olden
berg was in that vicinity yesterday and
this afternoon went out to Fruitdale
and May Park to give preliminary in
spection to that section. . It Is too early
to make definite prognostication," but
the buds that have made their appear
ance are hardy and there Is no appar
ent, reason why the crop should not
be remarkably large.,- .
More new orchards . are to be seen
In Grande Rondo valley' this year than
any previous year, especially towaru
tho north end of the valley Is this true.
So Instructions, Yet. - -.
Xelthi r Mr. Oldenberg nor Com
missioner JudilGeed of Cove, have re.
ived copies of the new statute passed
at the. late session "of the legislaturo
governing action and duties of the in
spectors and until such are received.
the inspector and others Interested of
ficftllly, can do but little. In another
week or two more definite estimation.
of the coming fruit crop can be mads.
The report comes from the Milton
and Freewater country that some of
the very early fruit has been killed by
fronts; that the cherry crop has been
much damaged. Conditions are ideal
for a magnificent crop of all fruits
In this valley, and practically all dan
ger of frost is past. C.t D. Huffman
says that Grande Rondo fruit growers
will have tho biggest crop of cherries
anil other small fruits In their history.-
Pear blight jMined n foothold here
last year, and If proper precautions
are not taKen me disease win uwiraj
a great many pear trees in the next
two years. The only preventive Is to
cut the diseased limb off below the
Affected nart.- and burn It, Care
should be taken to got at least several
inches below the diseased part, and If
tho limbs are not burned, tho work
might us well not be done. Well In
formed and progressive orchnrdlsts
sny that they cannot understand why
any one should hesitate- to cut freely
to prevent this pear blight, for the af
fected limbs are dead, and of no value
whatever; moreover, if the parts are
r.t Ciit uV40, t'iij wuimu u wiii teasel
to boar. Not only will the individual
trees cease to be of value, but the dis
ease spreads. Now, In the early sprng,
hefore the leaves offer so great a sur
face for the lodgement of the "disease
germs or parasites, is the very best
time -to do the work.
