the enforcement of laws and said that
no court -was to be trusted that does

Murray was partly to blame and al

Blackwell advised the enactment and
enforcement of . laws providing for a
severe penalty to fit the crime. He
said: .
'I do not believe that the verdict
reported by the Jury in the Murray

By their verdict the jurors justified
private vengeance and private lynch
law. By this verdict the established
law of the State was nullified, de
feated and disgraced. Of all wishy

MEAT TRUST
INTIMIDATES
Shows Its Hand Boldly By
Threats to Dealers.
MAY OPEN RIVAL STORES
Insists That . Local Butchers
Buy Fresh SmppHes From
Packing Houses In
Portland.
The meat trust, which has been car
rylng things with a high hand In many
Northwest cities, has turned Its at
tention to this city, and representa
tives of the great packing house of
Swift & Company were in the city a
few days ago conferring with local
butchers , Iq order to ascertain what
their intentions are relative to the
abandonment of butchering. Every
meat dealer In the city, in order to
Insure fresh supplies to his custo
mers, does his own butchering, and
buys little fresh meat from the pack
ing houses, even conducting their own
smokehouses. This is a condition that
is not at all satisfactory to the meat
trust, and it hag been intimated to
the dealers that unless all fresh meats
are purchased from the Portland pack
ing houses of the trust, an opposition,
cut-prize shop will spring up here and
a warm war will be waged to a finish.
At the present time the trust is
working at St Johns, and when mat
ters are adjusted there to its satis
faction, the scene of action will be
Oregon City. Advance agents of the
trust have even gone so far as to
negotiate ' for buildings here. The
avowed object of the meat trust is to
secure absolute control of the meal
supply of the Northwest and then
have the dealers at their mercy. It
Is very Improbable that the local
butchers, wlio have been preparing
their own product for many years,
will submit to the dictation of .the
trust ' without a struggle.
Farmers, too, are alarmed at the
threat of the beef trust to open a cut
price butcher shop in Oregon City in
order to compel the local meat dealers
to refrain from buying meat on the
hoof and doing their own slaughter
ing, curing and smoking. Thousands
of dollars are disbursed each year by
the meat market people of this city
to the farmers of Clackamas County,
and it is the avowed purpose of the
great combine to put a stop to this
practice and compel local merchants
to buy dressed meat of all kindB from
the Portland packing houses. If the
trust is successful, it will follow that
they will control both ends of the line,
and will not only try to force the local
people out of business with cut-price
methods, but . will make . their own
price on live stock and fix the price
on meat on the block as well. This Is
a knife that cuts both ways, and will
work a hardship on livestock men and
later on the head of every family in
Oregon City.
Of course the much talked-of trust
shop has not yet been opened and may
cot be. But it is generally understood
that after the trust accomplishes what
il has set out to do at St. Johns it will
turn Its attention to Oregon City and
will put in one or more shops unless
the dealers here consent to purchase
their entire meat supply of the com
bine.
MR. WISNER RESIGNS.
Severs Connection With Government
Fisheries After Eight Year.
tfohn Nelson Wlsner, field superin
tendent of the United States Bureau
of Fisheries, has resigned his posi
tion, to take affect on January 1,
next, and has accepted the mill secre
taryship of the Oregon City Mill &
Lumber Company. Mr. Wlsner Is
well known fn fish culture circles and
has been connected with the govern
ment for more than eight years. His
resignation will create a vacancy that
will be eagerly sought after, as there
are only two field superintendents in
he whole service. Mr. Wlsner's work
s best known on the Pacific Coast,
where he was in charge of the propa
gation of salmon for the United States
Government in Oregon and Washing
ton for the last four years, except
when he was on special work else
where. Two years ago he was sent
to Alaska with a party of scientists to
make an investigation of the condi
tions there and to recommend sites
for hatcheries. Later he spent a year
In the Division of Fish Culture in
Washington, D. C. Before coming
to the coast, Mr. Wisner supervised
shad propagation on the Chesapeake
and Delaware Bays.
His resignation will be a distinct
loss to the Government Fisheries Bu
reau and the consequent gain to the
rapidly growing corporation Into
whose employ he has entered. Mr.
Wlsner succeeds John A. Moehnke,
who resigned a short time ago, and
who will be established in business
in Portland.
"LOVE" HAS RETURNED.
Wanderer Comes Back After Twenty-
Five Year' Absence.
Albert Hedges, better known as
Love" Hedges, is in the city visiting
relatives, after an absence of 25 years.
Mr. Hedges hag been a wanderer over
the face of the earth, but wag many
years a resident of Eastern Oregon.
He is just down from a stay of seven
years in Alaska, and started to Seattle
to visit his sister, Emma, but received
the sad intelligence of her recent
death after his arrival. The stranger
Is transacting business here and form
ing new acquaintances ag well as re-
newlng old ones. He was swapping
yarns at the court house with Sheriff
R. B. Beatle and Jailer Nehren yes
terday afternoon. Hedges and Peter
Nehren told stories of 30 years ago,
when they went on surveying trips
together with John W. Meldrum, and
took a scare at peaceful Indians who
wanted to trade , with them. Mr,
Hedges said they were "tenderfeet"
and became alarmed at the sight of
blood that was on the colthes of the
red men, who had been doing nothing
more offensive than killing deer.
"Love" Hedges is known to every old
settler. He is a son of the late Cap
tain A. F. Hedges, formerly Sheriff of
Clackamas County, and Is a cousin to
J. E. and G. L. Hedges. He has
dozens of relatives in Oregon City.
POSED AS BOOK AGENTS.
Three 8trangers Try to Entice Young
Girls Away From Home.
Two detectives were in the city from
Portland Sunday looking for a clue to
the whereabouts of three men, who
were in town several days last week,
and represented themselves as book
agents. The officers charge that the
men used the book agent dodge simply
as a guise to cloak their real intention '
which was nothing more or less than
the enticement of young girls away
from their homes. The manager of the
trio answered to the name of Going,
and he left rather hurriedly one day
last week, his assistants following a
few days later.
It is supposed ttfat the party have
been operating in other towns and the
police all over the state have been
warned to keep a sharp lookout for
them. All of the men are well dressed
and have the usual smooth surface
and velvety talk of the book peddlar.
It is very evident that they were
frightened away from Oregon City, as
tbey remained only a few days.

shows that Oregon, with all her adapt

great as would be the aggregate, have
appreciable effect In the way of over
production. In any event, were the

the Oregon apples will sell, and they
will go at the best price, for they are
sought by those able to pay fancy

the tables-of the New York and the

PRUNING AND
CULTIVATION
Things Required For Apples
Besides Spraying.
EXPERIMENT NOT NEEDED
W. H. Fritch Tells of Exper
iences In Oklahoma and
Gives Advice That
Is Sound.
Editor Courier I am very mnoii
interested in the discussion in the
Oonrier about horticulture and as 1
have had some experience in fruit
growing in Oklahoma and came here
for that purpose and have seleoted
Claokamas County, I should like to
write some on that line.
I am a little amused at bo niuoh
bein& said abont spraying and so. little
said about pruning and cultivation.
Where I came irom if we did uoc
cultivate trees they would die and I
do not see any orchards cultivated
here. i;am satisfied that this valley
is as go jd as Hood River for apples
and strawberries if the same care is
taken for trees as there. I visited
Hood River and flud that they cul
tivate so thoroughly that not a weed
or spear of grass is permitted to grow
and they trim so one limb will not
touob auother and the trees look as
though there was not twigs enough
to bearja half crop. Then if .there is
too many apples nn a twig they go
and pick them off; then they irrigate
them. In Oklahoma we raise the
Missouri Pippin and it is a very pro-
lino bearer. One year my Missouri
Pippins were too full of apples. In
July I pioked half of them oS and
sold them and when I came to gather
the crop 1 got more bushels than it I
had left .them all on and they were
perteut. ion can no more crow
perfect apples than you can grow corn
with five or six stalks to the hill (in
a own county). We don't nied to ex
periment here to see ii we can grow
perrect apples. We are in one of the
best fruit counties I ever saw. I Had
fine apples on an oldorohard this year
that had net been plowed or pruned
for over 20 years. I did not expect
anything. What wonld a young
orchard have don : if kept as they keep
them at food River? We don't need
irrigation here, but we need thorough
cultivation. How can we expect fruit
with two or three months of dry
weather and our orohard grown np in
weeds and grass and a dozen apples
on a twig that many inohes long? I
nliould like to ask if spraying is not
an experiment yet? it not, why uo so
many say they sprayed and it did not
do any grodV I am not acquainted
with San Jose scale, as we had none
where I came from and there is very
little on my old orchard here. I am
satisfied it would be a good tiling for
the county as well as 'o the farmers
if they oould be persuaded to out all
the old orohards down, &b they are a
detriment to the county. as well as the
farmer.

Hood River has led the way to an
open and enduring market. All that re
mains is for care to be taken of the
orchards we have, and intelligence
to be applied in those we are yet to
plant.
It hag been repeatedly established
that spraying will reduce the loss
from codlln moth to five per cent or
less, and that San Jose scale and other
diseases are easily controlled. It is
a fixed fact that apple lands are worth
from $100 an acre and upwards, and
that they will pay handsome returns
on that investment in addition to the
labor and expense of culture. All
these fortuitous conditions open up
hostilities in the apple field to which
there could be a sequel in advancing
lands and bustling Industry of which
we do not dream. If only they of the

offers them in orcharding, thousands
of them would be quick to accept the

SHIBLEY IN ARKANSAS
AND MISSOURI
Tells of the Wonderful Industries of
Those States and Is Ready
to Come Home.
VAN BTJREN, Ark., Dec. 3. Since
my last correspondence in Northern
Missouri, I have come to this city
(Van Buren), a town of 6,000 inhabi
tants, by the way of St. Louis, Mo.
Van Buren is the county seat of Craw
ford County, one of the oldest coun
ties of Arkansas, which is on the
north bank of the Arkansas River and
Is on the main line of the St. Louis
& San Francisco railroad; also on line
of Little Rock & Fort Smith railroad,
and Is the southern terminus of the
Kansas & Arkansas Valley, and north
ern terminus -of the Garden Branch
of the St Louis, Iron Mountain &
Southern railroad. This country is a
vast coal bed. Van Buren has mod
ern concrete side walks and a $20,000
Y. M. C. A. building, an electric light
plant, and has a fine water system
which comes from a mountain stream,
three banks, cotton gins and a cotton
compress. About $350,000 worth of
cotton in sight in the yard. There
Is well equipped foundry, two school
buildings, seven churohoB, one daily
and two weekly newspapers and a
dry city.
This country 1b more like Oregon
than any I have seen therefore; I
like it better than any I have passed
through. Expect in the morning to
start for Paris, 60 miles south, then
back here, and then for Los Angeles,
California.
I find Beven or eight families of
the Shibleye in this city and vicinity,
all prosperous and am having a fine
visit. Could hardly count how many
In Missouri and Iowa.
VAN BUREN, Ark., Dec, 6. In my
last correspondence, I stated that I
was going to Paris, 60 miles south
of here and have returned to this
place. Went through Ft Smith, which is
partly in Arkansas and partly in In
dian Territory, a city of 3,500, a very
fine business place and improving
rapidly. Quite a number of northern
and eastern capitalists are coming to
the South now. The country around
Ft. Smith is good, but between there
and Paris barren and thin soil. About
Paris It is very good. The products
are cotton and peaches, big cotton
mills and compresses. In Paris they
grind about 40 tons per day of cot
ton seed; that's where we" In Oregon
get some of our oil meal. They press
about 1,000 gallons of linseed oil per
day.
Forgot to say In my last correspond
ence that I stopped off in the. Ozark
Mountains and ate opossom and per
simmons. My Nephew, ' W. II. H. Shlbley,
raises peaches, runs a store" and is
connected with the First National
Bank of, Van Buren, and my Nephew,
Dr. J. S. Shlbley, of Paris, Ark., raises
peaches.
Expect to start for Los Angeles,
Cal., in eight or ten days.

assembly. Friday night when the
first Winter party of the Derthick Club
wag given to the members, their hus

company listened to and applauded a
short congratulatory speech from Col
onel Robert A. Miller, of Portland, to
which Mr. Chase responded.
Whist was the major amusement of
the evening, the prizes going to Miss
Cis Barclay Pratt and Mr. Charles H.
Caufleld. Colonel Miller executed
funny stunts from an auctioneer's
stand and sold for beans articles con
cealed in deceptive appearing pack
ages. The men surprised the ladles
by carrying off honors in a musical
guessing game, and their familiarity
with music was tested a second time,
Mr. C. D. Latourette winning the
prize. The hostesses served refresh

is famous, and the evening was con
cluded with music and informal pas
