ROYAL ANNES AND BINGS HEAVY CROP THIS YEAR The Royal Anne and Bing cherry crop in Lane county is heavy this year and the fruit is ripening rapid­ ly, according to J. O. Holt, manager of the Eugene Fruit Growers ’ asso­ ciation. He said that these varieties of cherries will be arriving at the cannery of tho association this week and that there will be an un­ usually big run this season. Some of the trees are so heavily loaded with cherries, said Mr. Holt, that tho fruit is smaller than usual, but as a rule the quality is up to standard. Mr. Holt says that tho Royal Annes, Bings and the other varieties that are handled the most are so plentiful this year that few of the enrly soft cherries will be taken in. TWO PLANES ARE COMING FOR FORE8T FIRE PATROL Casper Wilcox, of Portland, Travel­ ing Salesman, Succumbs Yes­ terday to Injuries. Three automobile accidents, one of which proved fatal, have been reported within the past few days which were said to have resulted from reckless driving. Casper Wilcox, traveling salesman from Portland, was fatally in­ jured in an accident Tuesday on tho highway near the tie plant at La­ tham. He said that he attempted tc stop his car to prevent a col- lision with a car ahead which had slowed down without warning, His car skidded and went into’ the ditch. Mr. Wileox sustained severe injuries to his back but Mrs. Wil­ eox, who also was in the car, es­ caped with only minor bruises. Mr. Wilcox was taken to a Eugene hos- pital, where he died yesterday. Frank Overton's car went into the ditch near the Bunge service station Saturday and turned half way over. The top and windshield were demolished and one wheel put out of commission. Mr. Overton sustained only minor injuries. There was some difference of opinion as to whether the car was forced off the road by an approaching to-iri .t car or whether the accident was due to attempting to make the short turn onto Quincy avenue at too great a rate of speed. A horse driven by W. G. / l ea st stained a fractured foreleg when struck by a car a few duv-i ago. Mr. Allen had the injured leg set and hopes to save his horse. 82 RELATIVES PRESENT AT ANNUAL VEATCH REUNION With 82 relatives present the an nual Veatch reunion held Sunday at the Veatch pienic grounds east of the city was among the most en­ joyable and most largely attended of any which have been held. Ten or a dozen were present who had never before attended and who were before known to but a few mem­ bers of the clan. The day was spent socially, the feature being the basket picnic. Plans were made for a program for the reunion next year. A history of the clan is being prepared by L. F. Wooley, of Eu­ gene, Cottage Grove editor of pio­ neer days, and a number of letters ever 100 years of age will be rend Mrs. D. H. Hemenway and Mrs. J. T.

Kay McCarroll, Pendleton light heavy cowboy wrestler, found an equal in Ralph Hand, local middle weight, whom he met here Friday night. Despite his advantage iu weight the Pendleton bulldogger took but one fall, which feat Hand duplicated, making a draw of the match. The first fall went to McCarroll with a double wristlock toehold at the end of one hour, 14 minutes. Hand took the next with a toehold in 33 minutes. The match, which had been somewhat sluggish up to that point, was fast and furious during the remaining 13 minutes as each attempted to work his oppo­ nent into a hold that would give him the match. Hund seemed to be about to slap on a toehold just as the gong sounded. McCarroll is not nearly so fast a worker as many who have appeared on the mat here and Hand was sat­ isfied to adopt the same pace as the visitor. Hand demonstrated that he is not so vulnerable to the head­ lock as he has been and McCarroll was unable to make any of them stick. Upon several occasions Hand seemed ot have thrown his oppo­ nent into a bad hold when ordered back onto the mnt, to the edge of which he had thrown his opponent in plastering on a bone crusher. Harry Neet and Bud Riley put on a 30-minute wrestling prelim­ inary that surprised the fans. Some fast work was done and each of the men wriggled from dangerous holds but neither was able to pin the other to the mat in a manner to satisfy the referee. Riley is the older and more experienced of the two but Neet’s stockiness and ad­ vantage in age were sufficient to make the match about as equal a one as is likely to be seen here. Mike Mosby was the third man in the ring. Mapy Attend Pioneer Picnic. A number from here attended the annual pioneer picnic at pleasant Hill Saturday. This picnic has been held every year for 37 years and each year the attendance is larger. Those from here who attended were the R. C. Howard, the John Over- holser and the John and Harvey Taylor families, Mr. and Mrs. John Ashby and their daughters, Mrs. Leslie Godard, of Corvallis, and Mrs. Claire Parks, of Eugene, with her husband; Mrs. Emma Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Ashby and their daughter Miss Hazel, Mr. and Mrs. P.

The Anderson & Middleton Lum­ ber company is making preparations to commence operations in the for­ est reserve upon the contract re­ cently entered into with the federal government requiring the cutting of 40,000,000 a year, Tho company expects to start within a week the work of extend­ ing its railway up Lnyng creek to the point of proposed operations. For a short time the waters of Layng creek will be so disturbed by tho throwing of dirt into the creek that another source of water supply will be necessary and the company will start today upon the construction of a dam and intake in Prayther creek, where the eity has had an auxiliary pipe line to provide sufficient water for irriga­ tion. While this work is under wav the Prayther creek water can not be used and the city will have to depend for a week upon the water taken from Layng creek, which is sufficient for all purposes except irrigation and the city council, at its meeting Monday, ordered irriga­ tion discontinued for u week. The heavy rain since has done away with any need of water for this purpose. The members of the council felt that tho prosperity of the city is so closely ¡inked with the operations of the Anderson & Middleton com­ pany that water users would will- ingly put up with the week’s re­ striction in the use of water. A number of citizens present at tho council meeting nt which the action was taken expressed themselves as favoring sueh action, which was necessary to make certain no short­ age of water for fire fighting pur­ poses. Forestry officials have assured city officials that when the dam and intake on Prayther creek are completed this creek will furnish all the water that can bo put into the city’s mains, nnd that the city will bo in no way inconvenienced by doing for a few weeks without the waters of Layng creek. The Anderson & Middleton com­ pany, under its contract with the government, will bear the expense of moving the city’s main source of water supply to Dinner creek and of providing the lino in Pray­ ther creek now under construction. The cost, of this work will be de­ ducted from the purchase price of logs, so I t^t. eventually tho entire amount w vNr have been refunded by the government. *——————------- < Mrs. Andrew Brund and children left Saturday for Halsey to be with Mrs. Brand’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. 8.

Mr. Plaster was on the way to the city with several crates of strawberries in a horse-drawn rig. Mr. Ellis, from farther up the Row river road, was also on his way to the city. He was driving a motor car and was carrying a coop of chickens on the running board. He overtook the Plaster rig and as he passed it the chicken coop collided with the rear wheel of the Plaster rig with such force that the wagon was torn asunder and strawberries and chickens were scattered over the landscape. Mr. Plaster was thrown for a distance and fell heav­ ily onto the road but escaped with minor injuries. The horse galloped wildly away with the front wheels of the wagon but was soon cap­ tured, after which the wagon, ber­ ries and chickens were reassembled. The wagon and berries were consid­ erably damaged. NUMBER. 41 I MRS 8. E. M KINNEY AT 82 | YEAR3, ENTERTAINS MANY AT ANNIVERSARY DINNER ♦-------------------------------------------- 4 Just to demonstrate that 82 years is but the prime of life in this fa vored portion of the famous, fertile, fruitful Willamette, Mrs. 8. E. McKinney observ'd the passing of that milestone in her life Sunday by getting dinner for 22 guests and even the groat grandchildren pres­ ent were enthusiastic over the qual­ ity of tho meal. A son Frank, of Portland, was present with hi» wife and their 'wo ’sons and one of the latter brought with him a wife and one child. A daughter. Mn, Baril Parker, of Dexter, was present with her hn«bnnd and her daughter, Mr«. Ed Bushnell, of Springfield, the latter being accompanied by a son. According to the report of C. E.

He tied with three others in the pole vault at 13 feet in the tryouts at Boston Saturday. Ray Dodge, O. A, C. flash, was also in the party and Bill Hayward, who had accompanied Spearow to the cast, couldn’t resist tho invita­ tion to go to Paris ns a member of tho coaching squad. Hayward re­ ported that both Spearow and Dodge were in the best of condition and probably would hang up some world records. Three other Oregon athletes sur­ vived the tryouts and are also on their way to the big meet. They lire Robin Reed, tho Oregon Agri­ cultural college wrestler; Chester Newton, Oregon City wrestler, and Eva Schultz, Oregon Agricultural college swimmer, who goes ns an n It ornate. In the tryouts at Boston Satur- day three world’s records were broken, throe were equalled and Olympic marks wore surpassed in 14 instances, giving good reasons for Hayward’s belief that some thing sensational is likely to happen in the big contest nt Paris. Mrs. Wiggin Dies at 82 Years. Mrs. Elizabeth Wiggin, aged 82, died Sunday at the home of three of her children, Jay, Charles and Jennie Wiggin. The funeral was held Tuesday forenoon from the chapel, Pastor A. J. Adams, of th»* Christian ?hurcht officiating. Inter­ ment was in the A. F. & A. M.- I. O. O. F. cemetery.

Macduff, of Eugene, who has been for several years su- pervisor of the Cascade national forests, mode his first trip to the Bohemia district this week. The Fairview lookout, which he wished to visit, is in the Umpqua reserve but gives a view of a large part of the Cascade reserve. Mr. Macduff was accompanied by C. B. Neal, of Roseburg, supervisor of the Umpqua national forests. To Extend Water at Cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. John B. Perini are the couple and both times they were married to each other. The bride's name was Stella May Clow and she is but 16 years of age. This fact was the reason for tho two wed- dings. Under the name of Clarke she was married June 11 by a justice of the peace at Drain, iu Douglas county. She swore that she was 18 years of age. The parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. E. Clow, of this city, upon learning of the elopement, threatened tho con­ tracting parties and tho witnesses with prosecution for perjury, but finallv gavo their consent to the marriage provided it should be le­ gally consummated. With the con­ sent of the parents, a second license was secured, this time in Lane county, and the couple were again married, County Judge Barnard of­ ficiating. The second ceremony was performed on Friday, June 13. but the happy young couple were of the opinion that the day and (into were lucky ones for them. J. 8.

The taking of chittem bark with out permission on the part of boys anxious to earn a few dollars dur­ ing the summer vacation is reported by a number of owners of trees liv­ ing within easy walking distance of the city. In some cases the owners had planned to market the bark themselves and upon going to tho trees found that tho bark hud been removed unbeknown to them. Chittem bark is just as much a crop ns grain or vegetables, which the boys would not think of taking, and the boys who remove the bark without permission are just as liable to nrront an if they had taken any other product of the land.
