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.

ARRESTED FOR STEALING
BICYCLE FROM MEDFORD
A voting fellow giving his name as
A. li. 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 marshal prompt
ly bagged h is ma u a nd not i f ied t he
Mcdford authorities ami the ownei of
the "bike" came aud got his wheel.
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.
