THE MORNING OREGONIAN. SATURDAYr -JANUARY 11, 1902. A MINT -IN APPLES Oregon Growers Received $2,25 Per Box NeL FRUIT .WAS 'SOLD IN LONDON Variety Wan the Nevrto-VB Splten- bersx Returned $1 50 Per Box Net Orchard Located la Rogec River. "Valley. CORVALLIS. Or., Jan. 10. Two dollars and a quarter net per box 'is the price Olwell -Bros., of Central Point, Jackson County, received for a carload of Oregon Newtowns sold In the London market a day or two before Christmas. Another car, sold a few days later, when the mar ket was a little off, brought 51 75 net. More of the same apples are now In Lon don, and returns are expected at any time. Regent John D. Olwell was In Corval 11s this week to attend the meeting of the Board of Regents of the Agricultural College. The Olwell Bros, have an orch ard at Central Point of 100 acres. They had 512,000 worth of apples aboard the cars and on the way to market at one time this Fall. The orchard is 13 years old, and the late crop Is the fourth. Its aggregate this season was 35 cars, against 55 cars last year, but the better prices of this year made the output about as profitable as formerly. The Olw ell Spitzenbergs brought 51 50 net. They were mostly marketed In New York and Chicago. The buyer came to the orchard in August; and contracted for all the Spitzenbergs before the apples had matured. He remained there and paid fcpot cash for each car as It was shipped. The former price realized for Spitzen bergs was about $1 per, box. The -former price of the Newtowns, now selling in London at prices that net 52 25 and 51 75, was 51 05 to 51 10 per box. The -Ben Davis variety in the Olwell orchard brought at the orchard this year 51 10 to 51 10 per box. They were mostly sold in New Orleans, which Is not particular about the grade of apples It consumes. Last year the Olwell Ben Davis apples went at 65 cents per box. At the Olwell orchard at picking time W men were employed. At packing time, which began after the picking and ex tended nearly to the holidays, 30 men and 16 girls were kept at work. The codlln moth has practically been run out of the Central Point district by the spray pump. FormerlyVoO per cent or more of the crop was destroyed by the worms, but by diligent spraying the per cent of loss on this account is reduced to less than 5. In the Olwell orchard the spray pumps are operated by gasoline en gines. Mr. Olwell believes that much of the same success in growing apples In the Central Point district can be attained in the Willamette Valley. All that is necessary, he thinks, in order to make large orchards successful in the Willam ette Valley Is to be careful in the selec tion of soil and location, and then take ;od care of the orchard.

Initanc and Terribly Afflicted, Sbe Is Taken to Native Medicine Man. RIPARIA, Wash., Jan. 10. Annie Cemet, a Umatilla Indian girl about 19 years of age, arrived here last night in a deplorable mental and physical condition. She was accompanied by two other Indian women, one of whom is her aunt. The older wom en say that Annie Is "sick in her mind and spirit" Insane and her conduct aroand the Riparia station, on the O. R. & N. boat and train bears them out In the statement. While in a state of mental aberration Ave weeks ago Annie wandered 1 away from the wigwam of the family with whom she was living and was lost for several days In the mountains of Idaho back of Lapwal. Her feet were frozen. The limbs are decaying now below the knees, and will have to be amputated. Annie sometimes becomes so wild that It requires the united strength of both squaws to restrain her. Her attendants are both suffering with lacerated hands and arms where they have been bitten by the patient. The Indians made pallets for themselves on the station floor last night, and the patient suffered terribly. When Annie quieted down the two attendants went to sleep, and then shetrled to escape. It Is plain that the young woman Is In need of good surgical attention. Her aunt put her aboard the O. R. & N. train to day for'Cayuse Station. Umatilla reserva tion, where they expect to meet an ex pert Indian doctor.. The attendant squaws say that the "Indian medicine man up at Spaulding Is no good. He la Lapwal In dian. Umatilla medicine man sure cure." And they have gone to make Annie a sub ject of his Incantations. What she needs is the white man's surgeon to amputate the decaying limbs. Several days ago, when Annie's condi tion first became known to the whites In the vicinity of Lewiston, an Eastern Washington paper published a fanciful story to the effect that she had been tor tured by burning of the" feet, an Indian IAN FRANCISCO.

In the suit of the county -officers,, who held office in- the years, IStt aHdrJSW, for back pay alleged t feedve Jthen ,thrpua;k,;tlie. ln,-. erse 1r .tke pofylat if'tke couHty, -a; compromise was reached today between them and tii6 Board of County Commis sioners by which 51105 will be paid to them. The Board of Commissioners raised the salaries seven months after the cen sus was taken in 1S00. The officers con tended that they should have raised them at the beginning of the terms In 1S99, be cause the population, at that time was sufficient to warrant it, although the cen sus had not. been taken or the classifi cation of the county raised. The com promise was that the increase would date from the time the census was taken. Postofflce receipts at the North Y'aklma office for the year just closed amount to over 512.000, which Is an- Increase of 20 per cent over the previous year. A Ghastly Discovery at Seattle.

Governor Geer Receiving; All Sorts of Requests for Clemency Argra- raent of a Portland Citizen. SALEM, Or., Jan. 10. Governor Geer is receiving all sorts of pleas for the com mutation of the sentences of Wade and Dalton, who are sentenced to be hanged at Portland on January 31 for the mur der of J. B. Morrow. Today a minister called upon the Governor and made an eloquent plea for executive clemency In this case. A letter was also received from a resident of Portland, whose name Is not made public, arguing at length In favor of commuting the sentence to life Im prisonment. In making this plea the writer says he does not wish to be un derstood as In any way underestimating or falling to comprehend the enormity of the crime Wade and Dalton committed. He says they did not commit premeditated murder, and were not actuated by malice. They regarded the holdlng-up process as a sort of outing, a bit of sport, and did not Intend murder. The letter also says: "Wade and Dalton have forfeited their rights as members of the community, and the community has a right to protect It self from the wrongs they might commit in the future, but their execution is not necessary to this end. Security Is ob tained by incarceration In the peniten tiary for life. As to the taking of' life Itself, let that remain in the hands of he Almighty. Men cannot confer nor re store that, and are not justified In tak ing It. The death penalty will be abol ished when we get a little further along in our moral evolution." The tone of the letter Is principally that of an argument against capital punish ment, and does not undertake to contend that Wade and Dalton were not guilty of murder under the law. Petition for Pardon. Governor Geer has received a petition for the Aparddn-of James W. Hill, who was conicted In Union County last June of horse-ateallng. Seven of the trial ju rors signed the petition. The petition comes to the Governor in two parts, and the wonting of the two papers is such as to attract attention. The longer petition, signed by a larger number of persons, alleges that tho petitioners "have recently learned from reliable sources that there Is considerable doubt as to the ownership and identity of the mare" stolen, and hat they have "reasonable" doubt as to the guilt of Hill. The petition signed by the jurors states that the signers have learned that there Is "some" doubt as to Hill's guilt, and "considerable" doubt as to the Identity of the mrtre, and that they have considerable doubt of his guilt, but the word "reasonable," which is always used In Instructing a jury at a trial, does not appear. No statement is made con cerning the nature of any new evidence that has been discovered. MARIOX COUNTY TAX LEVY. It Will Be 20 31111s This Year, a Re daction Over 10OO. . SALEM, Or., Jan. 10.

The amount' to be raised In Marlon County this year for state, pur poses Is 556.396; last year It was but 547,000, in round numbers. To more than offset this Increase, the county has been run so economically that It 13 necessary to raise but 554.000 this year for county pur poses, as against 5SO.O0O last year.
