GOOD MOSEY IN' CHERRIES.
Folic County Farmer "Will Realize
Profit of $300 Per Acre.
SALEM, July 12. J. H. Shepard. the
Polk County orchardist, says cherries are
as promising a fruit as any that can be
raised in the "Willamette Valley, so far
as profits are concerned. He Is just mar
keting his cherries and finds that be
111 this year Teallze a profit of $300 per
acre. He says every orchards of cherries
of any of the standard varieties should
yield a net profit of $150 per acre when
eight years old, and at least $225 per acre
when 12 years old.
Mr. Shepard has always found a good
market for cherries, but says the farm
ers this year find a readier market than
usual, because of the large quantities
taken by the cannery. Fruit suitable for
'shipping fresh brings 6 cents per pound,
while canning cherries Bell for 3 cents
per pound.
"Willamette Valley farmers have not
realized the great advantage they have
over growers in other sections of the
icountry In raising cherries. Even Hood
Biver growers acknowledge that the
"Willamette Valley will produce better
cherries than will their climate and soil.
The cherry crop is seldom injured by
climatic conditions. Young trees are
sometimes frozen out, but after the trees
once get a start they are damaged by
Jione o the conditions which destroy
other fruits. Heavy, continued rains
sometimes cause the cherries to burst
open, but even then the fruit is suitable
for canning if properly handled. After
the first few years cherry trees require
but little attention, and Ithe cost of
caring for them and of gathering the
fruit is comparatively light.
Mr. Shepard says with the rapid im
provement in shipping facilities, which
is certain to take place during the next
few years, the "Willamette Valley cherry
will Increase in value as a shipping fruit
Farmers who set out cherry trees now
will have a good market for their pro
duct by the time the trees come into
bearlng. The best varieties to set out, ac
cording to Mr. Shepard, are the Royal
Ann and the Bing, though there are
other good varieties. Cherry trees should
not be less than 30 feet apart, which will
be at the rate of about 50 trees to the
acre.

TO STOP SCALP BOUNTY FRAUDS.
Secretary Dunbar Advises Clerk to
Require Strong- Evidence.
SALEM, Or., July 12. The scalp bounty
frauds exposed In the dispatch from Al
bany and published In today's Oregonlan
attracted considerable attention in Salem
today. Secretary of State Dunbar imme
diately issued a circular letter to all
County Clerks in the state, inclosing the
clipping from The Oregonlan and advis
ing the Clerks that under the provisions
of the scalp bounty law they are au
thorized to require corroborative evidence
from claimants. He suggests to the
Clerks that in case of strangers asking
for bounties such corroborative evidence
should be required.
Since frauds such as that exposed to
day have been committed under the new
law, the question arises whether similar
practices were not carried on to a far
greater extent under the old law. The
present law requires that the scalps be
presented to the County Clerk, and an
affidavit be made before him. Under the
old law a claimant could make his affi
davit before a notary public. The pres
ent law requires the several counties fo
stand one-third 'of the expense' of paying
scalp bounties. County officials are there
fore more vigilant than they were under
the old law. It would seem probable that
Oregon has paid for the scalp of many a
coyote killed in bordering states.
HARVEY THROWN OUT OF COURT.,
Jadge Hamilton Dismissed His Com
plaint Ag-aiast The Oregonlan.
EUGENE, Or., July 12. Judge Hamil
ton, of the State Circuit Court, today
sustained a motion to set aside the ser
vice In the case of B. F. Harvey, vs. The
Oregonlan Publishing Company, wherein
the plaintiff demands $25,000 damages for
alleged HbeL Harvey served his com
plaint upon George H. Craw, a news
dealer to Eugene. Motion was made to
set aside this service, on the ground that
Craw was not an agent of The Oregonlan
in the sense that service could be made
upon him to a legal proceeding, that
would bo valid against The Oregonlan
Publishing company. This motion was
submitted and argued the last week in
June, and Judge Hamilton's decision to
day sustained the motion, leaving Har
vey practically out of court
Harvey was one of two railroad brake
men charged with criminal assault upon
a young girl, Minnie Thorn, of Cottage
Grove, in January, 1900. His alleged con
federate was convicted, and sentenced
to a term in the penitentiary, but Harvey
was acquitted. He bases, his action for
libel upon the comments of The Ore
gonlan at the time of his acquittal.

FRAUD MAY BE PRACTICED
WASHINGTON SCHOOLS SUSPECTED
OF STRETCHING THE LAW.
Alleged That One Pnpil Is Pat ia a
Grade So Money for a Union High
School Can Be Secured.
OLYMPIA, Wash., July 12,-For some
time past State Superintendent Bryan has
had a suspicion of fraud on the part of
Boards of Directors of country schools in
connection with drawing on the appor
tionment of the state school funds. Under
the provisions of the school code pro
vision is made for the organization ot
Union High Schools. Union High Schools
are for the benefit of country districts to
enable scholars of the ninth, tenth,
eleventh and twelfth grades to derive the
benefits of the higher course of study
without leaving their home districts. In
the past year or so, about 30 such Union
High School districts have been formed.
The state allows $100 for each of the high,
er grades referred to annually, and It is
In connection with this feature of the
law that the fraud Is said to exist. Su
perintendent Eryan Is firmly convinced
that several at least of the newly-formed
districts are drawing money from the
state to which they are not entitled. It is
said thaWn some of the districts grades
above the eight n are reported to the Su
perintendent where there Is but one pu
pil to such grade. While this may liter
ally conform to the law, the State Super
intendent is of the opinion that the Legis
lature did not contemplate that such
grades should be allowed to draw on the
apportionment fund. "What Is apparently
worse, Is the suspicion that these grades
of one pupil are deliberately organized to
secure monoy from the state to which
they are not entitled. Superintendent
Bryan has begun a systematic attempt to
stamp out alleged fraud by the Issuance
of a set of questions, which the officers
of all union districts will be required to
answer to his satisfaction before he will
allow them 1 cent for the higher grades.

Would Have HefidqHarters ot De

WASHINGTON, July 12. Efforts are
still being made to have the headquarters
of the Department of the Columbia moved
from Vancouver, Wash., to Seattle, but
all Army officers, and especially the staff,
say that such action will not be ad
vantageous, on account bf the quarters
and barracks already at Vancouver.
Senator Mitchell, when at Washington
recently, especially pointed out to the
Secretary of War the trouble and annoy
ance caused by having the Department
of the Columbia made an adjunct of the
Department of California. The Secretary
recognized that this was not to the best
interests of the Army and will no doubt
act upon the Senator's recommendation

which permits hotels, restaurants, bar
ber shops and a few other similar lines

even a glass of lemonade can be pur
chased. County Attorney Oscar Cain
Wednesday made this announcement, hav
ing been served with a petition signed by
78 farmers of Walla Walla County, ask

the cities and towns on such occasions
and become intoxicated to such extent
that upon their return to work they are
not in fit. condition properly to discharge
their duties.

A special committee of the Board of
Trade appointed last night to hold a con
ference with the Miners' Union execu
tive committee met today. They were In
session three hours. There was a full
meeting of the board tonight, and prob
ably there will be a conference of the
managers tomorrow. The Miners Union
issued a statement of the strikel giving
the cause as follows:
"The foundation of the trouble Is the
fact that nearly half the mine employes
are paid here 20 per cent less than for
the same labor in othej- camps, and to
continue this, annoying practices are In
troduced, as follows:
"First, a system of espionage and black
listing, by which many of the ablest
members are compelled to seek employ
ment elsewhere; second, revocation of the
privilege of the secretary being allowed
to solicit members among non-union
miners off duty on the company prem
ises; third, connection with a bogus em
ployment agency seeking to flood an over
crowded market with cheap foreign la
bor; fourth, by the corporation seeking
to crush a sister union at Northport."

Alleges Telephone Company Yio
lnted License Ordinance.
ASTORIA, Gr., July 12. A suit was filed
In the Circuit Court this afternoon by
City Attorney Smith on behalf of the City
of Astoria, against the Pacific States
Telephone and Telegraph Company, to re
cover the penalty for violating the tele
phone license ordinance. The complaint
alleges that on June 17, 1901, the Council
passed an ordinance requiring that any
person, firm or corporation operating
telephones for hire in the city should
pay a quarterly license, in advance, of
30 cents for each Instrument, beginning
July 1. The complaint also alleges that
from July 1 to July 11 the defendant op
erated a telephone at the cigar store of
Charles Olsen, for which a rental was
charged, and on which no license has
been paid. A judgment is asked for in
the sum of $500, which is the penalty for
violation of the ordinance. The company
has about 400 telephones In the city, and
more suits may be commenced to recover
the $500 penalty for failure to pay the li
cense on each instrument.

GOOD KUN OF FISH CONTINUES.
Labor Is Being Better Paid Than
Ever Before on Lovrer Columbia.
ASTORIA. Or., July 12. The good run of
fish continues, and everybody engaged In
the Industry is busy. The catch for this
year is far behind the average, but If the

The Ohastsge of
life
Is the most important period in a wo
man's existence. Owing' to modern
methods of living, not one woman in
a thousand approaches this perfectly
natural change without experiencing"
a train of very annoying' and some
times painful symptoms.
Those dreadful hot flashes, sending
the blood surging1 to the heart until it
seems ready to burst, and the faint
feeling' that follows, sometimes with
chills, as if the heart were goinff to
stop for good, are symptoms of a dan-
Mas. Jexctk Nobis,
perous, nervous trouble. Those hot
flashes are just so many calls from
nature for help. The nerves are cry
ing oat for assistance. The cry should
he heeded in time. Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound was pre
pared to meet the needs of woman's
system at this trying period of her life.
It builds up the weakened nervous
system, and enables a woman to pass
that grand change triumphantly.
"I was a very sick woman, caused
by Change of Life. I suffered with hot
flushes, and fainting spells. I was
afraid to go on the street, my head and
back troubled me so. I was entirely
cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta- j
ble Compound." Mbs. Jennie Noble, '

night had quite an argument over an
account of $6S for labor In changing tho
wires for the E. "W. Haines Incandescent
system. Some of the Council contended
that Haines was to do this work and
others that it was to be done by the city.
It was finally settled by the city and
E. AV. Haines each paying $34.
Mr. Haines has added a boiler and en
gine to his electric light plant, which wilt
be used at any time the water power
proves insufficient.
