One of the men was sentenced to be hanged und the other three to life Imprisonment. The pris oners were In charge of severul dep uty sheriffs. Apparently the fate Justice had decreed them was not troubling the men much, a they laughed, and Joked with their fellow passenger and were In anything but a serious mood. RECORD YIELD IS EXPECTED FROM BIGGEST APPLE TREE Experienced growers predict that the Fraxer apple tree, growing la the Walla ' Walla valley near Walla Walla, Wash., southwest of Spo kane, will yield between l.V) and 200 tmshels of fruit this seasou, thus hreaklug Its record of 1X boxes lu I hC, the highest production from a xlugle tree kuown anywhere In the world.

The tree was growu without Irri gation from a seedling planted by ( autrel R. Frazer In ism, two years after he settled la the valley. It Is 12 feet high and its branches spread i7 feet from tip to tip. Freedom Live and Let Live i appeal to the mass of the people of Hood River city and couuty. Do you want the popcorn tnau to make a business or are you going to Join the boycott that Is started? I have run a popcorn wagon four years be fore I came here and was never de nted the right to buy goods at wholesale or at wholesale prices un til I came here. As there is no wholesale house lu Hood River nor uo grocery that will sell to me at wholesale prices, but some grocery men say If I don't buy from them or let them send for goods they don't handle and give them a rake off they will boycott me and stop others from buying. Now I came here In advance of my relatives and my Irieniis that would come li I give a good report of the country In gen era). But It you are going to stop patronizing me Just on the request of one or two in Hood River and do not let quality be your choice all O. K. When I can't pay expeuses In good weather I will not stay, but If my future trade Is as good os.lt has leen In the past, when bad weather sets lu I will not complain, but wait until spring, and then If you Induce me as you have In the past I will buy me a home In Hood River and many of my friends and relatives will come, My brother was a volunteer In the Iowa 22ud regiment In lsM, up to the close of the war, and he has children who are married and they all want to come west. But if I can't make a living Just because cer tain persons say I must buy through them or leave town, and the people lu geueral will Join them In boycott tng me, I will tell my relatives back In the east and they will advertise Just how things are lu the west that If they come they have no rights, only Just as certain jieople give them. They are now In a free country and they will not come where they must be In bondage to a few. There are many persons here who are anxious to know Just how much I am mak Ing but never Inquire as to what my expenses are In a year. Well, now, If I am making money or not, If I have' a good trade the rest of the summer as I have had In the past I will buy property and If I don't buy you may know I am not making very much. Now I came here the 22nd of April and my expenses up to date have been $275. 50 and that doesn't Include l.fioo pounds of pop corn I brought with me. Now as to the story that was started about me popping corn In lard, I want to say that I have a chemical process I take the butter through and It requires three different chemicals and some pure leaf lard and I can't get any pure leaf lard In Hood River or at least I have not so far; It Is mixed with tallow, and I can't use It In my chemical process. Now, rememler that to make the sugar you all use the sugar refinery ues tons of bone and ton of limestone recks. But there Is none In the sugar when you buv It. Now when I bought 20 pounds of butter of a grocer and had taken It through the chemical pro cess I had 0 pounds of waste and I took and showed It to the man 1 bought the butter from. But he never told anybody. But Is ready to help copy the story that I use lard Instead of butter to pop my corn In so the sugar refineries use bones and rocks and then you must Ikj eating bones and rocks when you buy sugar, I learned to run my popcorn wagon from a roan that bad run one !W year In-fore I started In and I will give you first class corn Just as long as I stand on the streets and If you are not satisfied with quality then Jim the Boy Caterer nnd I will leave town. Thanking you for the past, and will appreciate your future trade. Mo.nt Smith.
