INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 6 Union la bor officials and agents, said to num ber between thirty and forty, whom the Government holds criminally res ponsible with the McNamaras and Or tie E.

The amounts of the bonds in the individual cases were not made known, but it was said in the aggregate they would total $300,000. Although the names of the defen dants and their exact number were ordered withheld pending the arrests, it was said probably more than thirty-two, and possibly forty men are accused, inasmuch as more than one de fendant was named in the indictments. Asked if any men "higher up" had been indicted, United States District Attorney Miller refused to say. In timation came from another source, however, that no officials other than those who had had headquarters in Indianapolis are involved. ARCHITECTURE OF SALEM, Or., Feb. 6. That the li brarians of the country are not alto gether pleased with the exterior style of architecture of Carnegie liDraries and their interior arrangement as. to utility and adaptability for library purposes is signified by the appoint ment of a committee by the National Association to -confer on the subject with the Carnegie Corporation of New York. This is the statement of Miss Cornelia Marvin, secretary of the Ore gon State Library Commission, who returned this morning from attending the convention, which was held in Chicago. " . "The association did not take a crit ical attitude toward the Carnegie li braries," said Miss Marvin. "There is considerable room for improvement, however, and from the fact that many of these libraries are proposed for Oregon, I deem the move to be of considerable interest to this state. "Before this subject was a deli cate one, inasmuch as it was also a personal one. Now it is in the hands of the Carnegie Corporation and is no longer personal, and those at the as sociation believed we could take up the question without placing our selves in such a delicate position as we would have, had the question aris en when it was entirely personal." YOU would not plant a field of potatoes unless you cultivate It prop erly, otherwise you know you could not get a good crop and you would be wasting your ground and your time. . An orchard is only planted once in twenty or thirty years and It is years before you get any returns. Considering the. In vestment of time and ground ycu must realize the Importance of giving It the necessary care. ' DID you ever stop to think that the proper care of the orchard would make a bigger difference than the proper care of a field of potatoes, and that it takes less machinery and less work to do it. COME in and ask us about Lime and - Sulphur Spray and Spraying" Machines for your fruit trees and see how easy it is to double your fruit crop. - i IBt&scfa OREGON CITY, OREGON SCHUEBEL NOT SALOON G.

Eby, in dorsing the action of the county court in appointing O. E. Freytag fruit in spector, of the county. The resolu tion follows: "Whereas, The County Court of Clackamas county Oregon, has . re cently appointed O. E. Freytag, fruit inspector of said country and -state,' and, "Whereas, Said O. E. Freytag has qualified as such inspectorand has outlined and already begun a plan of work which, if properly encouraged and carried out, will cause all of the diseased trees and orchards in Ore gon City and Clackamas county to be thoroughly sprayed or the trees des troyed, and "Whereas, We believe- that such a plan of work, if properly, carried out, and consummated will result in great good and inestimable value to the people of Oregon City and Clacka mas county, therefore be it, "Resolved, By the Live Wires of the Commercial Club of Oregon City that we heartily endorse and commend the plan and work of said fruit inspector and that we call upon all good citi zens to assist him in ridding Clacka mas county of all diseased trees and that we especially commend his plan of beginning his work in Oregon City and we ask all people in Oregon City owning fruit trees to have the same thoroughly pruned and sprayed that Oregon City may be the first part of Clackamas county to effectively des troy the diseases which are now a hindrance to the fruit industry of the county."

POLICE FRIENDLESS, SAYS CHIEF SLOVER "A policeman is virtually without a friend," : was a declaration made by Chief of Police Slover, of Portland, at a banquet given by the Gladstone Christian Brotherhood ' Tuesday eve ning. "Children are told that if they do not behave the policemen will get them and they grow up to hate the men who patrol the beats. Even in crowds when policemen are protecting the lives of the people the officers are greeted with jeers and cries of deris ion." Chief Slover however, thought that people gradually were coming to have more respect for policemen, and eventually the hatred would die en tirely. This would eventuate when the citizenship came to a full realiza tion of what the policemen actually do. , " "The reform schools do not reform any more than the penitentiaries," said Judge Gatens, - another guest of honor. "Good boys occasionally come out of the reform schools as good men occasionally come out of the peniten tiaries. But they were good boys and good men when they were sent to these places. I intend to have a bill introduced at the next session of the legislature providing that when chil dren are paroled the records shall be destroyed after a certain time. The records are now kept even for. the the most trivial offenses, and work a hardship upon the children when they obtain their freedom and try to do L. A.
