THE. WORKING OKEGONIAN, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3r 1901. HIGHWAYMAN IS CAUGHT SUPPOSED TO BE ROBBER OP AGER KLAMATH FALLS STAGE." 3Indc Three Small Hold-Up on Side Road Kear Ashland and "Was Taltcn "While Eatlnar Supper. .ASHLAND, Sept 2. A lone highway man on horseback was the principal yes terday In three holovups on a hy-road lead ing south from Hunt's Station, on the Ashland-Klamath Falls etage route. As J. 2J. Yadin, the stage line owner, was going to the logging' camp six miles dis tant Trom Hunts, In his buggy, he. met a young man traveling on horseback,' who stopped and entered into conversation about the weather, roads, etc., and then asked Yadln If he had any money in his possession. At the eame time the stran ger put his hand Into his pocket, drew a revolver and commanded Yaden to divide. Under ihe persuasion of the gun the stage line owner turned over the loose change that was In his pockets, but said nothing about his pocketbook, containing $15, that was in a vest pocket. Yadin, in a good-humored way, asked the young man if he wanted his watch, and the highwayman eaid he did, but the stage line owner succeeded in talking him out of it, and was permitted to resume his jorney without further molestation. After the encounter with Yadin, and going further, the highwayman met a fruit peddler from Ashland, named Booth, who was relieved of all the money he had on his person, and another old man, who was traveling on foot along the road, but proved unprofitable game. He also followed Hon. O. Stearns, of Plevna, quite a distance, but owing to company with him on the road, did not molest him. The highwayman then continued his way to Puckett's ranch, on the main road, and ordered supper. After his encounter with the riding rob ber Yadin went to the logging camp, ob tained a number of men to accompany him on a trip to overtake and arreet the highwayman, and secured him at Puck ett's, where he was found eating his meal. He was placed under arrest anU taken to Klamath Falls this morning. He is described as an undersized, smooth faced fellow about 25 years of age, fairly well-dressed, who wore goggles and gave his name as Pearson. From his method of work it is presumed that he Is the lone highwayman who held up the Ager Klamath Falls stage 10 days ago, secur ing the Wells-Fargo treasure box and the United States mail, and for whom the de tectives have since been scouring the country. GOOD OUTLOOK FOR HOPS. Salem Exporter Thinks Growers Should Get a Fair Price. SAL.FM, Sept. 2. T. A. Livesay, of the firm of T. A. Llveslay & Co., prominent growers and dealers in hops, returned to day from an extended business visit in England. In answer to an inquiry he said that even though England has more than nn avorage crop of hops, there Is no reason why the Oregon grower should receive less than a fair price for his hops. He considers anything from 10 cents up a fair price. ?n reviewing the situation, Mr. Llveslay said: "We hear a great cry about the large crop In England and brewers think the growers are on the run and will sell for Jow prices. Some of the growers are scared and are ready to sell for less than 10 cents. I have known hops to be offered at 8 cents. Of course, the brewers want to buy at the lowest figure and If the growers are willing to sell for less than a fair price they will .find plenty of buyers. But if the growers will exercise good judgment they will get a fair price. If all get in and try to sell at the same time, prices will go down as a natural consequence. There Is no reason for a ruBh to sell. "I have learned by observation that there has been created a demand for a certain quality of Pacific Coast hops in England, and we will export goods to supply that demand. Two years ago, when England had a larger crop than Ehe has now, we exported 55,000 bales. "We will export as much this year, and the remainder will be needed for home con sumption. Our hops are good and there will he a sale for them at prices which the growers themselves will help to make." When asked whother he thought hops fhould bring 14 or 15 cents this season, Mr. Llveslay said: "I would not undertake to name prices at this time. I am going to watch the market and sell when the conditions seem to indicate that it Is best to sell. All growers must do the same. Every man should exercise his judgment and not hold his hops for a certain price nor. sell regardless of price." Fair Weather In the Valley. There never was better weather for hopplcking than prevails in this section of Oregon today. The clouds have cleared away and the air Is moist and cool. Thousands of men, women and children began work in the hopyards this morn ing. Labor day, and more will begin work tomorrow. In one of the large yards of this region 400 pickers are at work. These will earn on an average $125 per day. or $500 per day in all. It will take IS days to clear up the yard, so it will be seen that In this one yard $9000 will be dis tributed to pickers. So far as can be learned, none of the good yards have been compelled to pay more than 40 cents per box in order to secure pickers, though It was noticeable last evening that a few small growers were making a vigorous search for peo ple. Who would go to work in hop yards. In yards where the yield Is light, or where the facilities for camping are poor, more than 40 cents may be paid. LOTS OF WHEAT IN UMATILLA. Warehouses Filled to Ovrrflovrlna- Grovrers Want 50 Cents. PENDLETON. Or. Sept. 2. Of the new crop wheat, 12,000 bushels has gone to the seaboard or is in cars en route. This was the estimate made today by local representatives of buying houses. This grain went to fill contracts that had been made previously, and it was bought most ly from farmers who needed a little ready money or to stop interest on banking ob ligations. As a rule, at this time, with the market at 45 cents for No. 1 club, the sandard grade, farmers are Inclined somewhat to hold for an improved price. The great majority are able to hold until the Spring, and name 50 cents net here as tne value of their wheat to them. It is not determined that the growers as a class are going to hold as they have so often done in former seasons. They are studying the conditions, and speculating as to what the later Fall and Winter may bring forth. Harvest is practically at an end. Only a few Jieids out of the 1S0.000 acres crop ped this year remain uncut, and most of the thresing has been done. Considera ble sacked grain lies in the fields, and clear weather is desirable for a few days longer, that the farmers may haul to the warehouses. However, light rains now will do a minimum damage to sacked wheat, and the ground being dry for plowing, many farmers are rather anxious for the moisture to fall. The harvest has been ideal as to weather, scarcely any time being lost. Not three days out of a month has brought rain, so that machines i hae made unprecedented runs. In line with earlier predictions, the qt.'hty will be excellent. Smut is about th only defect, and not so very much of this U noticed. Umat 11a County's warehouses are sim ply filled to overflowing. The harvest was accomplished more rapidly than is usual, and small sales prevent rapid moving out of grain. Storage facilities are, there fore, scarcely adequate to the demand just now. This has compelled warehouse men to build new houses, and thus the storage capacity of the county has been greatly increased during the Summer. This county has probably the finest crop of barley ever produced. The quality is good and 'the -yield per acre of an in creased acreage is exceptionally high. WARRAXT WILL BE SERVED. Same "Warden Says He Has a Cnc Apalnst Levi Anlceny. WALLA WALLA, Sept. L-ft. Y.Flynn, Game Warden of Walla Walla County, was in town Sunday taking a rest from hunting violators of the game law. He tells this story: "The new game law went into effect on August 15, and I began to look out for violators. I kept track of the licenses Issued by the Auditor. and has them checked up to last night. xne oook contains the names of 115 persons who have taken out licenses. On the forenoon of August 2G, I met Levi Ankeny in the street and he took me to task for not enforcing the law, and de clared he knew of its being violated right along. I asked him to name the violators, and told him I would not use him as .a witness or give him as the source of-my Information. He refused to give me any Information and said I was 'a ninnyany way; didn't amount to anything.' That afternoon Mr. Ankeny went to the Au ditor's office and took out hunter's li cense No. 104. This was on August 26. After that I got evidence that Mr. Ankeny was out on Legrow's ranch killing prairie chickens on August 17 and 18, about 10 days before he took out his license. I swore out a warrant charging him with violating the game law. and It will be served as -soon as he conies home." Y. M. C. A. Entertninment.

Sergeant Harley, Company H, who had the getting up and management of the affair, received a cordial vote of thanks from all present. Notes From Albany. ALBANY, Or.. Sept. 2. G. F. Cappell. a stranger who arrived in the city Satur day morning, this forenoon was tried and found guilty of assault on J. M. McEl rath. a hatter, of Portland. The facts brought out on the trial indicated that it was a badger case, the defendant's v.lfe being mixed up in it, but, on ac count of not wishing to be kept in Al bany as a witness, McElrath would only make complaint on the charge of assault. Jewell Murry, an escaped inmate of the Insane asylum, was arrested at this city and will be taken back to the asylum tomorrow. , Hopplcking began at this city this morn ing. Forty cents per box is being paid. The yield is good and the quality excel lent. . The business houses of Albany are be ing decorated with the colors and flags of the Woodmen of America, arid the win dows appropriately arranged with chop ping utensils, in anticipation of the car nival and harvest home festival, which will begin in this city next Wednesday and last two days. Fifteen hundred vis- iting Woodmen, besides others, are ex pected here, including delegations from Portland.

A sham battle was held here today. The Sixth Rifles of Vancouver, under Colonel Wors nopvand assisted by the Royal Engineers under Lieutenant Elliott, defended the Red Hill fortifications at the entrance to Esqulmalt against an attack by the Royal Navy, under Captain Casement, of H. M. S. Amphlon, who landed several miles below the fort from the torpedo boat-destroyer Virago. The defenders were driven back some miles, but the attacking parts' failed to penetrate their screen and reach the fort. Tonight the torpedo boats are making an attempt to enter Esquimau in. the darkness. The forts are manned to foil the attempt. Labor day was celebrated here by a large parade, sports and a mass meeting, large excursions coming from Nanaimo, New Westminster, Vancouver and other points. Marlon County Taxes. SALEM, Sept 2. Sheriff Durbin will tomorrow turn into the County Treasury $10,976 62, the amount of his tax collec tions for August. Taxes have been com ing in very slowly and there will be a large delinquent list. Sheriff Durbin has given notice that all taxes will be de linquent on September 15, and it is un derstood there will be no days of grace. Under the present form of assessment the Sheriff is required to issue more receipts than usual, hence those who wait until the la&c day will have trouble In get ting receipts. It is estimated that if the taxpayers should come to the Sher iff's office in sufficient numbers to keep the deputies busy they would scarcely be able to do the work in the remaining 13 days. Forest Grove Items. FOREST GROVE, Or., Sept. 2. The bank and postofHce here closed today In observance of Labor day, but the busi ness houses did a large trade supplying the wants of those who are going to the hopfields.

WIN PRAISE AT BUffALO OREGON'S PRODUCTS HAVE AT TRACTED MUCH ATTENTION. Display Shows TtJp Well, and Has Been of Great Benefit More Fruit Needed, and at Once. SALEM, Or., Sept. 2. "Oregon's exhibit at Buffalo compares favorably with those from the Western States," sajd Henry B Thielsen today. Mr. Thielsen is one of A Oregon's commissioners to the Pan-Amer ican exposition, and has just returned from a two weeks' visit in Buffalo. "With the exception of the size of the horticul tural exhlbtl, our display is entirely sat isfactory," he continued. "Such fruit as we have there makes a good showing, but It is not sufficient to have one or two good apples. We should have enough good apples to impress the people that Oregon abounds in the best fruit of that kind. We should at least have enough In quantity to represent the magnitude of our horticultural resources. Our forestry exhibit is better than any other there. and In the other departments we stand a fair chance to secure premiums. "There is no reason to doubt that Ore gon will be fully repaid for the money spent In placing an exhibit of products at the Buffalo Exposition. We could not have found a better man to arrange the exhibit than Mr. Dosch has proved to be, for he has made a wonderful presentation, considering the means at his command. Many of the other states have mao their booths attractive by means of fancy and ornamental woodwork, which has cost large sums of money. Mr. Dosch had only plain materials With which to wbrh, and his ornamental work has been exe cuted with grains, grasses, fruits, etc. "That our exhibit is advertising the state, any one will admit who stands near one Of our booths while the visitors pass by. Our timber, fruit and agricultural products call out exclamations of sur- frlse and admiration. I heard people say hat our cherries were not grown on trees, that they were made of wax. 'Cherries don't grow that large,' they said. Our fruit In jars was so big that people would say we fixtd It up so that It was magnified. Our peaches were far superior in size and color to those exhit Ited by Delaware the state famous the world over for Its peaches. 'Not the .least of our advertising feat ures was tne temperature bulletin posted dally in our agricultural booth. During the hot season In Oregon the weather was comparatively cool in the Eastern States, so the bulletin did not make a very good showing, but most of the time the table of temperatures Is a splendid advertise ment for Oregon's climate. "One of the things that Impressed me most strongly while I was In the East was the frequency with which the name 'Cali fornia' Is used to help the Bale of fruits. At every fruit stand the labels proclaim that California pears, peaches Cherries, plums, etc., are for sale. People have been given to understand that California fruit is tho best, and they ask for it. The venders must meet the demand, and they label their fruit accordingly, regardless of where It was grown. It seems to me that we must push the word 'Oregon' for ward, and make it an advertisement for our products. We must make people un derstand that Oregon hops, Oregon apples, Oregon prunes( Oregon cherries and Ore gon pears are the best. When we have done that there will be a greatly1 Increased demand for our products. In order to ac complish this we must advertise our fruits at the same time we advertise the name. Every box of fruit should hav6 'Oregon' branded on It, so that It will attract at tention. I like the Idea of one of our prunc-shlppers who -has changed hia cardd and letter-heads so as to read 'Oregon prunes' Instead of 'Italian prunes.' Let the Italian prune become known exclu sively as ati 'Oregon prune,' -and It will not only advertise the state, but the state will advertise the prune. "While our horticultural exhibit has been much too small, It 13 not yet too late to make a suitable showing. It is expected that during September and Oc tober the attendanec at the Exposition will be twice as large as during all the time preceding. Perhaps It would be safo to say that during October the attendance will be greater than during all the rest of the Exposition. Arrangements should be made at once to send to Buffalo a suf ficient quantity of fruits and vegetables properly to represent the possibilities Of our Climate and soil. The produce sent will be displayed not only at Buffalo, bvtt also at Charlestown, S. C, where it will be needed just as much. The need of a. better horticultural exhibit cannot be too strongly emphasized." SENSATIONAL CHARGES MADE. Northport Smeltermen's Union Re plies to Injunction. SPOKANE, Sept. 2. Sensational charges are made ih the reply of the Northpdtt Smeltermen's Union to the injunction suit and restraining order forbidding Inter ference with the smeltef employes. The union charges that a majority of the stock in the smelter company Is oVined by sub jects of King Edward, who have no right to own lands In this stale. Charges are also preferred against Bela Kadlsh, super intendent of the smelter, who is accused of offering a. bribe of $2000 to an officer of the union to break it up. The union men state to the court that they "only claim the right to go to whomsoever is willing to hear them, and tell the exact facts and to persuade persons by peaceable means." Proceedings "Were Dismissed. EASTON, Pa., Sept. 2. Judge Scott to day dismissed the habeas corpuB proceed ings begun against ex-Mayor Hartsell el' al. by Theophylus Gduld et al., to compel the defendants to produce In court Robert Bruce, heir to the $150,000 estate left in the State of Washington by his urtcle, John Gould. Young Bruce was In court, and denied that Lawyer Ruffln, of Seattle, had been retained by him to contest the will, as !t was Contended he had been. Bruce denied the charge that he had been locked up by Hartzell, his guardian, and had V,een prevented from seeing Ruffln. The plaintiffs in the habeas corpus suit de clared they will take additional steps to contest the will. Theophylus Gould, One of the contestants, is a brother of John Gould, who left the fortune. , Worn Out Ty Work and Trouble. DENVER. Sept 2. Jesse Agnew, fore man on a 7000-acre sheep ranch, owned by Frank R. Gooding, near ShOshorie, Idaho, entered the Police Surgeon's office here ; today and placed himself in care of the authorities. He was very weak. He claimed that all his acts since August 27, when he was in Shoshone, were (a blank to him. He sajd: "My health has been very.poOr for a year. I believe my whole system, mental and physical, must have collapsed Sud denly. The strain of watching the work on the big ranch was very great. Then, I had some bitter domestic trouble." Board of Equalisation Will Mcetf OLYMPIA, Sept. 2The State Board of Equalization will meet In this city to morrow morning. The board is composed of State Auditor Atkinson, Land Com missioner Callvert, ahd Secretary of State Nichols. James H. Price, of Olym pla, ex-Secretary of State, will be clerk of the board and Miss Edna Whlton, stenographer. The board will probably be In session the entire 20 days allowed by law. V '.. Condon Paragraphs. CONDON, Sept 2. Owners of combined harvesters and' steam threshing out fits are hauling water as far as 15 miles to supply water for engines and horses. The stockmen around Condon are ridlhg the range continuously, rounding up all horses from a cayuse up to a draft horse, as there are "buyers here almost dally. The British Government talced almost any i kind of heretofore worthless Indian cay use for shipment to South Africa. An S00 pound pony which a few years ago sold for $10 now brings the owner from $25 to $40. Pinkeye is prevalent among stock and many horses are dying. John Richmond, who owns a band of about 800 head, is los. ing his In a different manner. His ene mies, for some reason, are shooting them. He can ride out on the range most any day and find a horse with a fresh bullet w'ound fh Its head. SOUTHERN OREGON PIONEERS Will Meet in Ashland Thursday for Twenty-fifth Annual Reunion.

For the present at least the establishment of a Y. SI, C. A. In Pendleton has been aban-' ddned. The executive committee has de cided to order the return to subscribers of all amounts that have been paid in on the pledges made last January. The total was $5300, and the subscriptions were due the first of, June. After the money had been pledged the matter was reconsidered, and "the decision was not toattempt at this time to organize the association and erect a building. State Secretary H. W. Stone and Assistant Oscar L. Cox, of Portland, have thoroughly .gone over the ground, and after conference with local friends of the Y. M. C. A. It was thought Inadvisable to continue efforts at this time. For the first time since the early Sum mer rain tell Saturday night. On Sunday the precipitation continued and the coun try covered by the storm extehds-' far up into the mountains. It will mark the end of the hot weather, and also moisten the ground somewhat for Fall plowing. When a gravel train ran Into the rear end cf the westbound passenger last night extensive damage was prevented only by the Lie that the air brakes were not set oh the passenger, so that the latter was moved alo .g by the Impact of the shock. Cft)y slight damnge was done to the ten der of the gravel train engine. Today Doe NBff pleaded guilty to the a!Jegat!on tliat he stole a gold watch, his case being the ninth during the past few days of' prisoners making pleas. All have gone to the penitentiary at Salem. By the pleading guilty Of these prisoners the Criminal dtfeket Is practically cleared, so that the September term of Circuit Court will have little criminal business before it. Want Acndemy at Pendleton. PFJNDLETJN, Or., Sept 2. Practically as voluntary subscriptions nearly $2506 has been pledged to the building fund of the Pendleton Academy. Of this amount only a very small portion was solicited. The most of it was offered by citizens here who desire to see the academy secure the Jw.OOO necessary to the carrylng-out of the plarts recently announced. Offers have been made by wealthy persons elsewhere to donate liberally towards the 525,000 fund, If Pendleton and Umatilla County people will only themselves first raise something like 510,000. It is believed that this amount will be forthcoming, and that the entire $25,000 will have been secured by the end of the present school year. The hope Is entertained that the new buildings will be erected next Summer. W. E. Ladd, jllfO towards the purchase of a site; Br. E. P. Hill, of Portland, who pledges $100, conditioned oh securing 50 persons who will give as much, and J. H. Converse, of the "Baldwin Locomotive Works; living in Philadelphia, $100, are the outside subscriptions thus far made pub lic. However, If $10,000 be raised here, the balance of the $25,000 will be given from sources Outside of Pendleton. Died At the Asylum. SALEM, Sept. 2. Mrs. Margaret Howell, aged 78 years, died at the Asylum last night.

Light Hop Crop at Pleasant Hill. OREGON CITY. Sept. 2. A prominent Pleasant Hill hopgrower reports that hops In his section are not So large as usual, and are lighter, there being a less num ber on the vine. The yield will be fully 25 per cent below that of last year. LABOR UNIONS IN LINE PARADE OF 20,000 MEN WARMLY CHEERED AT SAN FRANCtSCO. Whole Demonstration Remarkable for the Moderation and Good Tem per of All Participants. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2-Labor day was celebrated In this city by a parade of workingmen. In which It is estimated not less that 20,000 membere of various unions participated. During the afternoon there were literary exercises at the Mechanics' Pavilion, ex-Congressman James G. Ma gulre being the principal speaker, and "in the evening a ball vas given for the bene fit of the locked-out men and strikers. Across the bay, at Shell Mound Park, the unions owing allegiance to the Building Trades Council assembled at a picnic, nearly 10,000 persons being present. Ev erywhere the occasion was observed as a holiday, and no serious accident or dis turbance occurred to mar the most enthu siastic celebration of Labor day San Francisco has ever seen. Tho parade occupied nearly three hours lit passing a given point, and was notable for the absence of spectacular display, there being few floats in line, and very few uniformed bodies. Every man carried a small American flag, and on Van Ness avenue, where the long column counter marched, there was a scene of enthusiasm seldom excelled. The men temporarily out Of w?ork were given the place of honor, and as they passed down the brOad street they were greeted with almost continuous cheers from thousands of sympathetic unionists. Not many banners were in evi dence, and all of these bore Inscriptions moderate In tone. In fact, the entire demonstration, remarkable as It was In many respects, was characterized by mod eration and good temper on the part of all who participated. At tho pavilion, where tlife speeches Of the labor leaders were delivered before an audience which taxed the capacity of the big building, the best of order pre vailed, and no references to the existing strike calculated to displease the auditors were made. The ball In the evening waB one of the most largely attended ever given here. The picnic of the Building Trades Council at Shell Mound Park was also a notable success. Public Office Were Closed. SALEM, Sept 2. Labor day was ob served In Salem by the closing of public Offices. Banks; and other business houses were open all' day and most of the la boring men worked as hard as usual. At the Capitol Attorney-General Black burn was the only official who could be found. In the offices of the Governor, Superintendent of Public Instruction ond the Clerk of the Supreme Court, stenog raphers were found at work on routine matters.
