CorvalHs Times CORVALLIS, OREGON, RI DAY EVENING, OCT. 19, 1906. RENO HUTCHINSON. "What has human life come to be worth? Does any value whatever attach to it, in view of the riot of death by assault, death by shoot ing, death by the knife, that is now rampant? San Francisco is liter ally a vast slaughter house with every belated citizen the victim and thugs bent on robbery the as sailants. Homes are invaded and sleeping occupants cut to pieces with axes. The latest news from that unhappy city is that the po lice and the thugs are in collusion, a statement that, for the sake of humanity, it is hoped is not true. And not only in San Francisco but everywhere is the story of murder and blood a lurid and gory tale. Statistics are that five times as many people per 1,000 are murd ered in the United States as in any other civilized country. It is a fact to shudder over. It is a con dition to make us pause and be ashamed in the midst 01 the resist less sweep of our achievements in production and finance. Typical of the moment is the slaying of Reno Hutchinson. He was a man whose life work should have given him immunity, from attack at least in Christendom. Gentle of spirit and noble of soul, patient, kindly, ever gentle, though, strong, why a pistol bullet for him? Why the pistol bullet for any man ? Why this lurid record of our country in murder? What an embarrassing thought for us, who, go out to con vert the heathen of ether lands! THE HOOD RIVER IDEA. THEY WANT A JUTE MILL. Aud Prison Labor to Make Grain Sacks, Hop Cloth and Wool Sacks. Willamette Grange, of which Mrs. Mary Whitby is master, wants the state of Oregon to manufacture grain sacks. Resolutions have been'adopted by the Grange calling upon the legislative committee of the order to frame a bill and pre sent it to the legislature for enact ment into a law. It is also the plan to manulacture cloth for hop baling and lor wool sacks. The subject was discussed at length at a recent Grange meeting, and resol utions were unanimously adopted. The resolutions are: Whereas, the farmers of Oregon have for a number of years been paying what we believe to be, an unreasonable price for grain sacks and, Whereas, we believe we are forced to pay these prices by the combinations of those who are in charge of the manufacture and sale of said sacks and whereas we feel' satisfied that the prison labor in our state prison, could be utilized in the manufacture of grain sacks to the financial benefit of the state of Oregon. Therefore be it resolved by Willamette Grange, that we are in favor of the state of Oregon es tablishing a plant at the state pris on and utilizing prison labor for the manufacture of jute and flax into grain and wool sacks and cloth for the covering of hop bales and all other purposes for which such cloth is used. Therefore be it further resolved that we recommend to our legislative committee the propriety of preparing a bill to this effect, and have it brought before the next legislative assembly and urge upon it the necessity of pass ing such a measure. John Whitaker, J. F. Porter. J. W. Jones. Trustees. Howard Waggoner, Sec. Hood River apple growers are getting rich. Thev are selling apples at three dollars a bushel. It is a figure in remarkable con trast with the 50 cents a bushel of the olden times and even of more recent years when better figures were obtainable. It is a price that has been reached by application cf practical business principles to fruit raising. Only perfect apples are offered for sale. Nearly all the crop is made perfect by care of the orchard and the growing fruit If apples are too thick on the tree they are thinned to the end that a larger a more perfect apple will be produced. The p a c k i n g is on tne same lines as tne growing, it is perfect. This done, the apple sells itself. It torces its way into the homes of the New York rich and makes them , pay a fancy price. It knocks at ttie mansions and castles of the London aristocracy and they wel come it. It is a fruit that looks good, that tastes good, and that is good. It is a fruit of all work in the household, and the rich of earth insist upon having it. regardless of price. That is what is bringing a stream of gold into the pockets of the Hood River growers and for tune into their laps. It is not a dream but a bare fact, for the or c'aardists are counting their money and putting it in the bank, year af t;r year. As it is in Hood River so is it passible in Willamette. That is what apple experts say. . The soil is here. So is the climate. The fertile foothill farms aie the place. Application of the Hood River principle will do the work. It will bring wealth to the men who will make the application properly. Last year Willamette grown apples that had been properly cared for, were labeled "Hood River apples'' and sold at the Hood River prices. No buyer questioned them, because they were as good as Hood River's best. The incident is the" incon trovertible proof of what Willam: ette can do in apples. Might not the Agricultural College take up the work and prove it. Might not the scientists in the institution lease properly located orchards and properly demonstrate the feasibility. and practicability of a Hood Riv er apple and a Hood River price in Willamette. 1 - - BIG FIFTH CROP NOW. ARE IN COLLEGE NOW. Boys who Carved 0. A. C. High up on Ocean Gliff They are Roseburg Lads. The secret of who cut the famil iar letters OAC in the cliff at the mouth of theUmpqua, is out. Walt er jagnon, now plaving quarter on the O. A. C. football team, Cliff Benson, formerly member of the OAC basket ball team and now playing the game here, and a couple of their friends at Roseburg are the artists. 1 hey were an outing par ty this summer, who journeyed down the Umpqua river lrom Roseburg to the ocean. The boys traveled in a couple of canoes, a means full of hazard because of the endless rapids and turbulent chan nels along the entire length of the swift and winding river. The same good nerve that it took, to brave the whirling stream served the lads in scaling the cliff for their etching job. Gagnon's canoe with Harry Hildeburn as the other pas senger was first to reach the mouth of the river, and while they waited tor Benson and Hannan, the cliff was scaled and the letters carved. The letters are cut a .foot deep into the sandstone cliff. They are five feet in length and an be seen a distance of two miles at sea. IN JUDGE FULLERTON'S TIME. Of Alfalfa on College Farm It has a Height of Twelve Inches and is Thick. A fifth crop of alfalfa is a foot high on the college farm. It stands thick and is finepasturage. The four crops that have been taken off this season made a yield of 27-16 tons of green feed, equivalent to nine tons of cured hay per acre. That is a yield to make an Oregon farm ers heart glad. Great as is vetch, as a forage plant it cannot approach it. The tract in question comprises two acres. It was sown six years ago, and during the five seasons that it has beenjcropped. there have been 19 cuttings. The land is or dinary wheat lands bordering on and just a trifle above the white land level. It is partly tile drained, but not all. It's history as an al falfa producer has been extremely satisfactory. It has proven that with reasonable attention alfalfa can be grown on almost any land in the Willamette valley, especially if it be well drained. This is the be lief of Dr. Withycombe who has had charge of the tract in question. The college has six acres of alfalfa in addition to the two acre tract re ferred to. It likewise has a thrifty yield. The probabilities are that whenever land is demonstrated to be an alfalfa producer it immediate ly becomes worth $100 or more per acre. When Benton produces all the alfalfa of which it is capable, it will become a county of rich farmers. Fashionable Dress Goods An Incident of Circuit Court, Wherein Ben Hayden was Equal to the : Emergency. Judge McFadden tells it himself, and with keenest appreciation ' of the wit in the incident, though the jone was on nimself. It was in the case in the Sammit shooting scrape years ago, wherein a man named McCaleb- was involved, and McVeigh was a witness. Judge McFadden was conducting the ex amination on one side and Ben Hayden on the other. The Cor valHs lawyer was endeavoring to destroy the testimony of McVeigh and with considerable success, as usual. "Isn't it a fact," he asked of McVeigh, "isn't it a fact that your brother served a term of three years in the penitentiary ?" "yes;" the witness was forced to reply. - - ' "That' sail," said the judge with a significant tone of voice and a significant look at the jury. By and by it came Mr. Hayden's time to refer to the incident, and the foxy old lawyer was equal to the occasion. "Now, this man McFadden has referred to the fact that a brother of McVeigh has been in the penitentiary," he said; 'I say this man McFadden is trying to prejudice this jury, to prejudice this jury, I say, against Mr. Mc Veigh. Like an honest man that he is, I say, Mr. McVeigh admits that his brother did spend three years in the penitentiary. Like the honest man that he is, I say, he admits this, but there is one ques tion that the man McFadden did not ask. He did not ask, I say, this man McFadden did not ask the witness who defended his broth er, and it is well he didn't, gentle men of the jury, I sav it is well he didn't, for it was this man Mc-! Fadden that defended the brother I of witness, and with a lawyer like ' that, I say, with a lawyer like that ! wnat else could, I say, what else could he do but go to the penitentiary."
