C M. Idleman, Whom Court Haff Re-
moved Front Executorship, XSets
Back Into the Position.
OREGON CITY, Or., July ZL Today C.
M. Idleman, of Portland, filed his oath
as executor of the last will of Matilda D.
Holt, deceased, who died In Oregon City,
December 2S, 1E92, the document bearing
the date of November X, 1S92. This viil
was admitted to probate on July 15, 1SOT.
and the estimated value of the property
In Clackamas County is $5000.
The probate records show that a will
containing nearly the same provisions,
and naming' the same beneficiaries,
Charles D- Hawkins being the chief, was
admitted to probate on February , 1&3,
the will bearing date of November 22,
3BS2, and The property being then valued
t J60W. Both wills on record ostensibly
have the signatures of Matilda D. Holt,
and the witnesses are the same. L. R.
Janney and John WeismandeL However,
when the will recently admitted to pro
bate was proved, an afddavit was pre
sented that L. R Janney, one of the wit
neses, could not be,, found in the State of
Oregon. In both wills C iL Idleman. Is
named as the executor, and was duly ap
pointed by the court.
There was considerable litigation over
the estate, and the matter was carried
to the Supreme Court on legal technical
ities. About three years ago Mr. Idltf
man was removed as executor of the will,
and K. D. "Wilson was appointed adminis
trator of the estate. The probating cf-
another will throws Mr. "Wilson out, and
reinstates Mr- Idlenian.
It was shown to the Probate Court that
there was some 'irregularity n tho execu
tion of the :wlll w-hich was first ad
mitted to wrdbate. L. R. Janney was" a
jireacher and real estate agent, and Mr.
Welsmandel remembers that a few days
after he had signed tho will ns a wit
ness, Janney came to him with a docu
ment alleged to be the will, and informed
him that he had neglected to sign the
will In another place as required by law.
Mr. Welsmandel again affixed his signa
ture, as requested, but did not closely
examine the paper.
Operations of Catrrorru.
J. Spangler, a farmer of Carus. was
cere today, and expressed the opinion
that within another week the worm pest
would be a thing of the past He former
ly lived In Ohio, and is familiar with tho
occasional visitation of worms in that
state. Mr. Spangler says that the pest
now infesting Clackamas County is a
species of the cutworm and materially
differs from the army worm in habits.
The army worms all travel together
while each Individual cutworm works to
"suit his own convenience. The cutworm
alsb buries himself in the ground at
times, while the army worm does not
Mr. Spangle says the cutworms are
short-lived; soon they begin to swell,
then burst. In fact, he has recently no
ticed a lot of them that have already
reached tho bursting stage. The cutworms
have already done considerable damage
in restricted localities, destroying the
second growth of cloven potato fields and
gardens, and have 'worked on fruit trees
and hop vines to a- limited extent

Oregon Land Company will not require
that even a very large part of the lafid
be devoted to beets, though It" will farm
on its own account 1000 acres if the set
tlement is not complete next year. Man
ager Stoddard states that the company
will be content If 20 per cent of the land
is devoted to beet growing.
The partition and -settlement of so large
a tract will, of course, add very materially
to the wealth of the county, but as to
which town will be most directly bene
fited there will be room for dispute. The
village of Cove lies nearest, and will ex
pect some benefit. Since a. large part of
the product of the farms will be sent to-
l the La Grande sugar factory, and since
a railroad for conveying it thither will
be built. La Grande naturally looks for all
the trade of the colony. But Union, lying
nearer, counts upon a larger share. It Is
safe to'predlct that the big Bale will, one
way or another, affect the old county-seat
quarrel in Union County.

A Fruitgrower's YIevrs.'
SALEM, July SLJ. R.- Shepard, th
well-known. Polk County prunegrower,
says that he is satisfied -that- good prices
await the Oregon prune crop, and that
he Is confirmed in this opinion by the
methods of a California buyer, who re
cently visfted this section. The buyer" In

he would pay an advance of "4 cent per

vision, however, that all who wanted to
get this advanced price must make con
tracts within a limited time, when he will
stop 'buying.
Mr. Shepard says he "has watched the
movements of buyers for years, and can

FOREST GROVE, Or., July 3L Professor Homer C. Atwell, of Pacific Univer

of Fortat -Grove.
date when Ills offer will close. Mr. Shep
ard's experience Is that w)ien buyers
need prunes to fill an order, -they keep
buying until they get their order filled,
and. put the limit on the amount rather
than on the time. The pretense of limit
ing the time Was simply, to scare the
growers into contracting their crop early
by making them believe they will get an
advanced price. Another Inconsistency
Mr. Shepard notes is thatwhila the-buyer
said he needed only a few carloads, still
he says he will take all that are offered
up to a certain date. This is taken as
another evidence that the buyer is specu
lating and not filling an order.
Mr. Shepard ig of the opinion that Ore
gon growers should not contract their
1S00 crop, especially their Fellenbergs.
Ke believes the Oregon growers have the
best of the American crop, and that they
should get prices accordingly. Owing to
the drought which has prevailed for sev
eral years in California, the prunes of
that state run to small sizes, and the
Caiifornijr growers cannot get prunes
there to fill their orders. The Oregon
crop, on the contrary, will run to largo
sizes, especially in the Fellenbergs. These
prunes ire Mattering and consequently
large Willie the Petite prunes trees
hang full of fruit, "the sizes are dbove
tho average, and much larger than thos.e
grown this year in California. These con
ditions give the Oregon grower an ad
vantage which he should appreciate, says
Mr. Shepard, and great care should be
taken to avoid the stampede which the
buyers create year after year at the ex
pense of the producers.

they then took possession of his boat.
He tried to fight with them, but they
pulled knives and one made a lunge at
him. He would have received the' point
of the knife in tho heart, he said, had
it not been for its striking his watch and
glancing off. He was, too, badly beaten,
and when -half dead was thrown Into the
water. He swam ashore and later was
picked up by the tug.

ingly rich ore,, according to- Manager N.
J. Jenkins, who was -in the city today,
A depth of 4(X5 feet has been attained, and
levels are being run 450, 350 and 300 feet
in depth. An uprise, from the 460 to the
5v0-foot level is being driven for air. A
contract has been let to sink a prospect
shaft 00 feot south pf all previous word

bodies are being exposed, and there i
ore enough in sight "for a 10-stamp mill"
for years td come. Tho old Gem was
worked 30 years ago by Captain Alns

abandoned by" them. The- wealth of the
mine waS little known, aS recent develop

VANCOUVER, "Wash., July 3L Grocers
1 complain of an unusual scarcity of vpg-
etables fqj this season of the year. The
scarcity is attributed to the ravages of

their appearance It Is almost Impossible
to supply the demand for Paris green. A

IJE.W TWO PER CENT BONDS
Will Be Distributed to the Public
This Week.
WASHINGTON, July. .-(Special to
the New York Journal of Commerce.)
An object-lesson in the new gold stand
ard law.l3 afforded by the 2 per cent
bonds issued under the law, which will
bo distributed to the public this week.
The bonds of the denominations, of "jiOOO,
$10,000 and $50,000 have already been re
ceived at the Treasury from the .Bureau
of Engraving and Printing,, and the other
denominations are expected within the
next few days. Mr. J. W. Lyons, the
Register of the Treasury, has been sign
ing bond3 for the last few days at the
rate of "MO.OOO.OOO per day. The new bonds
are of peculiarly artistic designs arid are
decorated with the vignettes of prominent
Americans. The three classes received
have the vignettes of Thomas H. Ben
ton, the great Gold Democrat, on the de
nominations for 51000; Commodore Baln
brldge on those for $10,000 and Benjamin
Franklin on those for ?50,000. The words
'Two per cent consols of 1930" run in
large lettera across "tho top of the bonds.
Then appears the emphatic language re.
dulred by the new law:
"This bond is issued in accordance with
tho provisions of an act of Congress, en
titled 'An act to define and fix the' stand
ard of value, to maintain the parity of all
forms of money issued or coined by tho
United States, to, refund the public debt,
and for other purposes, as approved
March 14, 1900, and is redeemable at the
pleasure of the "United States after the
1st' day of April, 1920, in gold coin of tho
standard value of the United States on
said March 14-, 1S0O, with interest in such
coin fiom the day of the data hereof, at
the rate of 2 per centum per annum.'
The very title and body of the gold
standard law Is thus set forth upon the
face of the bond, so that he who runs
may read, and no further question can
arise under any administration whether
the bond is payable in paper, silver or
gold. On each side of this simple word
ing are graceful symbollo figures, al
most completely draped. The one on the
left represents Law, and holds aloft a.
tablet on which the word "Lex"- is plain
ly 'inscribed. The figure on the- right
holds a torch to illumine the darkness'
of the path along which- the country

the' firm foundation of the gold stand
ard. On' the back of the bond is a frame
made up of the coats of arms of the 45
states; The coats of arms were care
fully copied, -and the entire work pre
sehts an. Instructive epitome of state
history. The prevailing colors on tha
fronts and backs of tho bonds differ
with the denominations, those for "CUW
having red backs, those for $10,000 brawn
and those for $50,000 blue. The remaining
denomination will contain the vignettes
of other eminent Americans, including
President John Adamsv General John A.
Dlx, Secretary William H. Seward, Gen
eral Philip H. Sheridan and Secretary
Edwin M. Stanton. The coupon bonds
aro not yet ready, but will soon be pre
pared. They will depart from the old
system" of large, unmanageable sheets
for the coupons by being made up of lit
tle books, from which the coupons can
easily be detached when they are due.
The success of the refunding law in
operation has been such that heavy calls
will bo made for the new bonds before
the distribution is completed. The old
bonds already presented for exchange
into the new 2 per cents have amounted
to $319,400,150, and Treasurer Roberts be
lieves that a total of $100,000,000 will be
reached within the present year. The
National banks' have-placed in the Treas
ury $243,519,250 in the new 2 per cents a3
the basis of circulation and $44,567,700 as
security for public deposits. This total
of about ja94.000.000 leaves only about
$25,000,000 of tha new bonds in private
hands or in process of transfer. It is the
belief of Treasurer Roberts, however,
that tho presentation of private bonds
will be more rapid after the new bondy
are actually issued. The process. thu3
far has been to deposit dummy bonds,
printed from ordinary type. In a vault in
tha Treasury and Issue to the owner only
a receipt for the bonds surrendered. This
has hampered transfers of ownership,
which will become easier with the actual
Issue of the new bonds.
