Murderers Joke With Passengers
A party that attracted a great
deal of attention on an O. R. & N.
train at the depot' Saturday, were
the four men who were recently con
victed at Canyon City of murdering
a sheep herder. 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 bore 70 boxes In
I'M Mi, 42 boxes lu 190, aud 45 boxes In
t.HiO. More than 500 barrels of fruit
have been picked from Its limbs since
it came Into bear lug the spring of
Wl.
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.
