PAVING WILL BE'
STARTEOTHIS WEEK
It is expected that the paving will
be started this week and that some
of the Hassam pavement which is
to cover the business district of town
will be laid before the end of the
week. Last week the curbs were re
paired and deepened on Second street
in readiness for the grading and pav
ing. The company will bring its
crew here from Portland this week
and the work will bo rushed. The
contract calls for completion of all the
pavement before the middle of next
month.
Work on the water system is pro
gressing. The main pipe line, which
is to tap Tucker's Spring, has already
been laid about a mile and a half
south of the city, while the main lead
from the reservoir on the Heights to
the downtown section is also being
completed.
USING JOURNAL TO
FIGHT DISTRIBUTORS
Considerable comment, not alto
gether favorable, has been occasioned
by the repeated attacks being made by
the Oregon Journal through the med
ium of its market page upon the move
ment for consolidation of Northwest
fruit districts. These attacks, coup
led with very palpable misrepresenta
Hons, have been directed openly to
wards the North Pacific Distributors
and also, but less directly, against
the consolidation of local shipping in
terests.
By what interests the attacks are
prompted is not altogether a mystery.
Hyman H. Cohen, who is market edi
tor for the Journal is also edi
tor of the new publication "The
Fruit and Produce Distributor." It
is commonly understood that the lat
ter publication is closely allied in Us
Interests with the Northwestern Fruit
Exchange, which some months ago
made an ineffectual attempt to gather
the fruit districts of the Northwest un
der Its maternal wings. Falling in
this, they have since lost no oppor
tunity to antagonize similar efforts on
the part of the growers themselves.
Hood River has not yet definitely
allied herself with the North Pacific
Distributors, but sentiment is strong
ly in favor of some such co-operation
between Northwest fruit districts and
the hostile attitude assumed by the
Journal through its market columns
doeB not commend itself to the great
majority of Northwestern growers.
HEN EARNS $94
IN 25 YEARS
Pasadena.Cal Theodosla Roosevelt,
so named because of her evident anta
gonism toward race suicide, said to
have been the oldest hen In America,
died at the home of her owner, Mrs.
Elizabeth Grinnell, of Pasadena, She
was 25 years old.
Theodosia numbered among ber
friends many of the notables who have
passed their winters In Pasadena In
the last quarter of a century, among
them Mrs. Russell Sage, who, on bei
last visit to this city made three calls
at the Grinnell home to pet Theodosla.
The aged hen laid approximately
4500 eggs in her long and useful life,
besides mothering many broods of In
cubator hatched chickens. Statisticians
figure that the eggs laid by Theodosla,
at the average price of only 25 cents
a dozen, were worth $93.75. The ac
cepted cost of keeping hen In these
parts Is $1 a year, making Theodosla's
net earnings $68.75. At a capitalized
value of $1.25, she has made 3000 per
cent on her valuation for her owners.
WOULD COMPEL DIVORCE
"No Woman Should Spend Her Days
With a Brute or a Sot."
Chicago. Compulsory divorce laws,
instead of laws to make divorce hard
er to obtain, were advocated by Judge
Gemill, who, In the court of domestic
relations hears perhaps more tales of
marital woe than any other judge in
the land.
"There are people, living together
today who should be forced by law to
separate," said Judge Gemill, "There
are women suffering untold misery
through a mistaken sense of the bind
ing quality of the marriage tie. God
never meant that a woman should
spend all her days with a brute, or a
sot."
President Wilson has attended four
of the five games of baseball played
at Washington since the season began.
Wilson also has his troubles.

the State During the Past
Week.
Ralph Henry Is Free
Salem. Ralph Henry, who was ac
quitted of the charge of murdering
George Dodd In Linn county on the
plea of Insanity, and a few weeks ago
was committed to the state insane
asylum, has been discharged from that
Institution.
"We kept Hnery under close obser
vation for a full month, and could not
detect the least trace of Insanity,"
said Dr. R. E. L. Steiner, superin
tendent of the asylum. "He was not
Insane when he was brought here,
and he was rot insane when he left.
Neither do I believe he was insane
when he committed the crime. This
opinion Is held by all the members of
our staff."

children, slowly sinking, but rational
and languidly remorseful for her mad

Mrs. Bourne Is Given Divorce
Portland. Affection for the two
elderly sisters of her husband and
the feeling that she owed the state of
Oregon a duty on account of tha hon
or of United States senator which
had been conferred upon her hus
band, was given by Mrs. Lillian Eliza
beth Bourne as her reasons for not
having sued Jonathan Bourne, Jr.,
while he was a member of the United
States senate.
Mrs. Bourne was granted a decree
of divorce by Circuit Judge Gatens.
Senator Bourne made no contest.
Chamberlain Offers Land Law Change
Washington. Senator Chamberlain
has introduced bills as follows:
To adjust claims of Serman county
settlers; making lands withdrawn or
classified us oil lands subject to en
try under homestead or desert land
laws; to make it easier to file on
mineral lands.
WEST AIT R Bn( T IGGZRS
Finds Government Action Is Too Slow
To Get Results
Salem. Governor West is going af
ter the bootleggers on the Indian res
ervations in this state. He declared
he was going to see they were cleaned
out. In the past the question has
been raised whether it was the duty
of the federal government or the state
to apprehend and prosecute persons
guilty of selling liquor to Indians on
their reservations. The responsibility
has been shifted first on the shoulders
of one and then the other, with the
result that it is said bootlegging has
thrived.
The question as to who should be
responsible was recently raised on the
Siletz reservation. The governor look
ed up the matter and found the state
should take just as active a hand as
the government. Therefore he Is writ
ing to district attorneys to get busy.
The matter will also be taken up with
the federal authorities so fhere may
be cooperation.
8. P. Must Again Raise Fill
Chemawo. For many years the
Southern Pacific company experienced
difficulty in crossing Lake Lnblsh, us
ing a trestle which was a menace,
one wreck occurring a number of years
ago and some lives being lost. Some
few years ago the company removed
the trestle work from the lake and
made a partial fill of gravel, which
has not yet solvid the difficulty. The
lowist part of the fill In the lake will
now be raised six feet. When the
partial fill was made a few years ago
the gravel used dropped from sight
over one niUit, which caused the wa
ter to rise on each side of the right of
way.
S. W. Arnold returned from a visit
in Portland Monday.
SIMMONS TELLS OF
ALLEGED SWINDLE
J. W. Simmons of Parkdale, State
Deputy for the Mod m Woodmen of
America, passed through Hood River
Sunday enroute to Portland to wit
ness the final chapter in what is al
leged to be one of tl n most gigantic
swindles in Insurance history of re
cent years. It Is alleged that about
a year ago a man giving the name of
James C. LaFrance Jojied one of the
Portland lodges of Modern Woodmen
and a few days later was reported
as lost while fishing on the Clacka
mas River near Estacada. A search
was made and a body, found on
which were clothing, letters, papers.
etc., identified as those of LaFrance,
the face being decomposed beyond
recognition. Fifteen thousand dollars
of Insurance money was paid to
the supposed "widow," $3000 being
paid by the Modern Woodmen, $2000
by United Artisans and $10,000 by the
Postal Life.
Subsequent developments caused
Mr. Simmons to believe that a fraud
had been perpetrated so in January
last he began an investigation that
resulted In the arrests of both La-
France and wife at Coquelle, Coos
county, last Saturday.
They were taken to Portland, in
charge of officers and both parties
will stand trial on the charge of con
spiracy to defraud the respective In
surance concerns.
In their efforts to locate LaFrance
the Modern Wood men followed his
trail from Portland to Lake Charles,
Louisiana, thence to Texas, thence to
California and back to Coo8 County,
CLARK COUNTY
FAVORS BONDING
Vancouver, Wash. The Pacific
Highway bridge, spanning the Colum
bia river between Vancouver and Port
land, and joining Washington and
Oregon, is an assured fact, if the senti
ment expressed enthusiastically and
vociferously at the gigantic mass meet
ing held In the courthouse here is a
criterion. ' - -
With but one dissenting vote, resolu
tions were adopted demanding that
the county commissioners call a spe
cial election to vote on the proposition
to bond Clark county for $500,000, to
build " Washington's share of the
bridge, which will cost something like
$1,300,000. This election will be held
in July.
The county courthouse was not large
enough to hold all who wished to at
tend, most of them being farmers, the
city residents giving way to thera that
they might learn more about the
bridge.
A. L. Miller, of Vancouver, a mem
ber of the committee, gave a brief out
line of what had been accomplished to
date, and said that the approximate
cost of the bridge would be about
$1,300,000, and that he believed that
the taxpayers in the county desired a
toll bridge. He added that he was as
sured by the people of Portland that
if Clark county would raise $500,000,
that Portland anil Multnomah county
would put up enough more to build
the bridge.
JORDAN OPPOSES LAND LAW
Stanford President Urges State to
Confer With Federal Officials.
Sacramento. Dr. David Starr Jor
dan, president of Stanford University
and a lender in the movement for In
ternational peace, rime to Sacramento
at the request of Secretary of State
Bryan to confer with the visitor from
Washington on t li pending alien land
legislation.
Dr. Jordan is opposed to a land law
of any kind that would single out the
people of any nation, and particularly
the Japanese, witli whom he believes
the United States should be on most
friendly terms.
As an alternative to a rigid land law
barring those Ineligible to cltitenshlp,
which. Dr. Jordan declares, would be
unconstitutional, h suggests that if
California has a real grievance It
should provide for a commission to lay
the matter before the state depart
ment at Wnrh'"ifi--i f"d hiv tbo

treaty.

NEWS FROM OUR
NATIONAL CAPITAL
Strong Pressure to be Brought
to Bear on Senate by
Protectionists
Washington. Opponents of the Un
derwood tariff bill are going to make
their great fight in the senate. The
manner in which the Democratic cau
cus of the house has stood by the ways
and means committee is. proof posi
tive that any effort to secure changes
during the consideration of the bill in
the house will be futile.
It appears that pressure will be
brought upon the senate by means of
petitions, letters, personal interviews
with senators and probably many so
called lobbyists will be employed by
different Interests to work for a
change In rates. But It is expected
that the most important results will
be reached by petitions and appeals
from constituents of senators. Not
only manufacturers, but worklngmen
employed in different Industries, are
expected to write to their senators
urging changes in the interest of
greater protection for the lines In
which they are employed.
Heavy artillery of the Republicans
and Progressives was trained on the
Wilson-Underwood tariff bill during
the most extended open debate the
measure has been given since its con
sideration was begun. The discussion
was chopped off short Monday when
"general debate" closed and the bill
taken up paragraph by paragraph.
Republican Senators Decide Policy
By unanimous vote the republican
senate caucus agreed there should be
no general reprisal on President Wil
son for the democratic holdup of the
Taft nominations in the last session
of congress, but that republican oppo
sition would be shown in the follow
ing cases:
In appointments to the consulaf ser
vice or the minor diplomatic posts,
such as secretaries of embassies or
legations, where the merit ryatem re
sorted to by ex-Presidents Roosevelt
and Taft was not followed.
Where vacancies are created by re
movals from office which carry fixed
tenure, unless made for cause, and
particularly where removals are made
from offices which require technical
or special knowledge.
Expert Arraigns Forest Service
A scathing Indictment of the present
day management of the forest service
is contained in a memorandum filed
with the secretary of agriculture by
Daniel W. Adams, who, after five years
as expert lumberman in the forestry
bureau, voluntarily retires to engage
in private business. Impracticability,
bad business management, improvi
dence, and an excess of bureaucratic
methods are the general charges he
makes. Mr. Adams gives names, cites
Instances and ref rs to records to sub
stantiate his chr-rges.
Railroads Gain Point
The commerce court upheld the In
terstate commerce commission's or
ders in the Shreveport, Tex., rate cases
and in many respects sustained prin
ciples which the railroads are asking
the supreme court to adopt in the 45
state rate cases now awaiting decis
ion. The powers of congress and the
Interstate commerce commission to re
move discrimination caused by a state
railroad rates lower than interstate
rates which have been held to be rea
sonable. Value of Railroads to Be Fixed
The interstate commerce commis
sion announced that it has about com
pleted the personnel of the board of
engineers, who will place a physical
value on all railroads.
Tentative values, fixed by the board,
will be submitted to the railroads, the
department of justice and the gover
nors of states wherein the properties
are located. If no protest Is filed with
in 30 days the value becomes final.
Where protests are filed, the inter
state commerce commission will make
public investigations.
National Capital Brevities
Important improvements and exten
sions are to be made In the postal
hank system, according to an an
nouncement made by the postmaster
g nrral.
Former Governor George Curry of
New Mexico, Is reported to have been
selected by President Wilson as the
first member of the new Philippine
commission.
Senator Jones of Washington has
Introduced in congress a bill for the
direct election of United States sena
tors in the same manner as represen
tatives are elected. It Is intended as
a temporary measure to tide over
until the states themselves enact di
rect election laws.

FRUIT PROSPECTS
THIS YEAR GOOD
BLOSSOMS ARE COMING OUT AND
PROSPECTS ARE FOR CROP
EQUAL TO LAST YEAR'S
BERRY OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT
Plants Throughout the Valley Art
Now Blossoming Heavily, but
Season Is Somewhat Lata
Throughout the valley the fruit
trees are bursting into bloom and In-.
dications point to a crop which will
be as large and possibly somewhat
larger than last year when about 800,
000 boxes were produced.
During the past few days the buds
have swollen and there Is no mistak
ing the bloom from the leaves. Num
bers of farmers have been interview
by the fruit associations and their re
ports are encouraging. The bloom la
not as heavy as the valley has seen
but it is about equal to that of a
year ago. The season is somewhat
later than last year on account of the
continued cool weather.
The Spitzenberg crop was not large
last year, comparatively speaking, and
indications are that the crop of this
variety will be larger this year than
last.
The Newtown crop was fairly heavy
last season and the bloom this spring
would indicate that the yield of this
variety w ill hardly be so great as last
year. The shippers are rather con
gratulating themselves upon the fact
that the heavy crop of Ben Davis
apples last year lg to be f ollowed by
a smaller yield this season. This var
iety comes into competition with the
same variety as produced in the East
and it la difficult to market it for
good prices.
The earlier varieties of apples are
already in bloom and the prospect for
a good crop of Jonathans is bright
The late blossoming season this year
relieves all fear of Injury by frost
Many of the ranchers.however, have
been delayed in their spring cultiva
tion and are now on the jump getting
the surface soil pulverized In order to
conserve the moisture before the
warm weather arrives.
Strawberries, like apples, axe a cou
ple of weeks later in blooming this
year than last but throughout the
lower valley the pacches are now
white with blossoms. There Is re
ported to be a uniformly heavy bloom
in all sections of the valley. Last
year the berry season started about
the middle of May, but it Is expected
that the first of the crop will not
mature much before the last of the
month this season.
