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.

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

Boys who Carved 0. A. C. High up on

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.

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."
