THE MEDFORD DAILY TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREOON. SATURDAY. JULY 18, 1908. HARRIS CARRIED nniim nmrui UUIII1 UlllLnill Manager of Butte Falls' Lumber Company Swept Over 30-foot Bank B. H. Hurrid, inuuagf-r of Ihe Butte Falls Sugar Pine Luoihrr eomiiany, met with a most painful accident Whines day murniiig ut Butte Fulls. Mr. Har ris was opening the flume, ataiulin iu front ut the gate, when suddenly the rushing water rained th gate and wished Harris away uinl-r u velocity of hundreds of pounds pressure. Mr. Harris was carried along with the stream, thrown down a rocky embank ment of 3U ur more feet, from which he was hurled 30 or 4U feet below against the projecting ruck, striking head, hands and back and floating along i I ha stream. Mr. Harris, atlhougn badly injtred, retained his senses and crawled to the shore. Timely aid was at once on hand and Mr. Harris was conveyed by Mr. Lewis in his wagon to the home of Mr. Miller, nnd Dr. Holt immediate ly summoned. Mr. Harris is not internally injured. Tht're is no serious injury to the spinal column. In u short time he may he about. From u cursory examination of Mr. Harm' body some fears have been expressed that his injuries are internal, there being indications of fractured ribs and other serious injuries, but Dr. Holt, who has been to see him, says no serious injuries have been sustained. HOOD RIVEE TO SHIP FOUR HUNDRED CARS It is estimated that Hood ftiver thi.s year will ship out iu tlm neighborhood of !!50,00tl boxes of fruit. This is some thing over -100 carloads iu round mini bers, and will constitute the biggest shipment of apples ever sent out of the valley. It is said by those familiar with the half grown condition of this year's fruit at Hood River that it is the finest that ever hung on the trees, both in quantity and quality. In order to market this bumper crop successfully, it is thought a different method may have to he re sorted to this year than here heretofore been used at Hood River, aud to pro vide for this contingency, the Apple Growers union is building a large cold storage plant adjacent to its large ware house. For several years this organiza tion has sold its fruit by auction through sealed bids. In this way the upples have practically all been disposed of to one firm. With the big crop this year, however, it is thought hardly pos sible that one firm will want to buy 40" cars of apples, aud storage fucilitteh are being provided, so that they can be disposed of gradually if necessary. The Davidson Fruit compauy also lias a cold storage plant at Hood liiver, and be tween the two plants it is expected that there will be ample facilities. The first apples to be shipped from Hood River will probably go out about the latter part of August, aud will be of the liraveiistein variety. So far, there is very little indication as to what apples will bring this year, but inquiries re ceived by shippers from eastern buyers lead them to believe that Hood Hiver fruit will sell for higluy profitable prices, notwithstanding the big crop. LACK OF SNOW CAUSE OF POOR HAY CROP Harvesting wild hay has commenced in Harney valley and the crop is about one half what it was last year. The shortage is due to luck of flitnw late last winter. The stockmen hud quite a large amount of last year's hay left over, and with the new crop will have enough feed for the coming winter, uu less it proves to be harder than the last two. The grain crop in Harney county will be less than for several years, owing to the hot wave which has visited this country the lust ten days. Fall grain will be good, but spring grain will be a failure, unless a good rain storm vidits the country soon. Gardens are burning up with the heat, the same it the grain crop, excepting where the farmers have plenty of water for irri gation. Stock out on the range is suffering for water, as the former wet weather lakes, which always have water till July wheu there is pleuty of snow, have been dry for several months. This condition compels stock to travel five to 20 miles for water from where it ranged. Be fore settlers commenced taking up the land iuthe valley stock could slot. around the watering places through the dav and feed at night;; now it is com polled to put in most of its time travel ing from the hills to a few limited watering places on Silvies river, at itmil of the vallev land is under fence.

Crowe arrived in the cit v last Friday a Iu bicycle. Ho hud not been in town long wlieu City Marshal Me Grew received a telephone inquiry from Vied ford about a man auswering Crowes inscription who was wanted there for stealing a bicycle.

The Med ford :iut nor it ies thereafter wautud the fellow prosecuted here, not withstanding that the theft had been liiimiiied iu Jackson county. Of course this would not work and, instructed by the Med ford police to release the man. Crowe had not been out of the.eity jail more than an hour wheu the Med lord authorities again called up the marshal here stating that they wanted Crowe. Marshal McOrew told them that the man had been released ami if they wanted him to come down here and find him. This closed the episode. Nothing more doing with Crowe. He did not state whether or not ho was a relative ot the notorious ' ' Pat ' ' 'rowe. ( 'ourier. PROHIBIT WHISKY, BUT NOT BEER IN SALEM H.-VLKM. Or., July IS. A number of Salem hop growers and dealers have called a mass meeting at the opera house for the purpose of discussing a plan by which the prohibition move ment mav be directed against the sale of whisky and not against the sale of beer. An effort will be made to enlist l he probit ion element in t his project. The plan is to amend the local option law so as to permit a vote upon the mention of selling beer and a separate vote upon the question of selling liquors stronger than beer. Conrad Krebs, who is one of the leaders tu the movement, said tonight that the evils of whisky Iriuking cause mose of tho antagonism to liquor selling and the hop growers desire to separate the beer business from the whisky business. They feel certain that if this were done whisky could be voted out but the sale of beer would be permitted to continue. FURTHER PROBING INTO HIGH EXPRESS TARTFF SALFM, Or., July 1H. It has been lecided by the Oregon Railway coin mission that circumstances warranted a further investigation into express rMcs now in force iu Oregon and a hrariug will be held some time in the n-ar fu hire. The date has not yet been set, but will be probably in f few days. Other mutters are now tetpiiring the attention of the commission. Tables prepared bv the clerks in the railroad commission's ofhVcs show that express rates in Oregon are far above those in other states: From Baker City to Portland or Portland to Baker City the general merchandise rate charged by the Pacific Express company is $:i.7f for I'lO pounds. The distance is .'t.'iH miles. For the same distance in Ore gon the Walls Fargo rate is in Texas it is $2.0" and in Missouri it is $2.

HAIL ABOVE PASS DOES DAMAGE TO FRUIT OKOl One of the severest if not the worHt hailstorms recorded iu the history of this section of Oregon occurred botween 7 and 9 o'clock Monday morning, says the O rants Pass Courier. The heaviest part of tho storin was between Qlen dulo and Tunnel u 0u the Southern Pa cific road north and west of this city. Kvery orchard and farm in the path of the storm was devastated and or chardisls particularly lost heavily. Many of the hailstones, which were flat and irregular in shape, wero us large ns loni ous, and not only ruined all the fruit, but seriously injured tho fruit trees. It. W. Kiggs, one of tho engineers who cunio down on No. 1.1 Monday morn iiig, said that near Tunnel 9 there was a regular cloudburst and that a Btream o. water lind hailstones cutno over the hanks on either side of the road ut the entrance of the north end of the tunnel like water over a dam. Water was also running over the truck at this point nnd the rainfall was so dense that lie could not see tho sec.tiou house at the side of the track. C. W. Tripett, one of tho leading or ciiantists near Hugo, sustained a loss of at least $'JIHII on his fruit crop. Ho had gathered about half of his cherries aud had intended to pick the balance for the cannery this week, but the hail literally stripped the trees of fruit, leaves mid a portion of the limbs. He aiso lost between still uud iHih boxes of apples nnd all his pears, peaches aud other small fruit. P. Peterson was another fruit raiser who lost heavily uud another fanner in the vicinity lost all his chickens be .slrjes fruit and garden stuff. All the gulches In the v ity were routing torrouls nnd when tho storin abated hail stood on the ground from two to six inches deep, while the mouu laiu sides resembled a winter sceue with their blanket of hailstones.
