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.

SAD CASE OF INDIAN WOMAN.
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

story to the effect that she had been tor

lam W. Morrow, of this city, who
haa Just ben appointed a tnlsteo
of the great educational institution
which Andrew Carnegie proposes to

only Western man to be thus hon

Back Salary Case Compromised.
NORTH YAKIMA, fan. 10. 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.
SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 10. The ghast

in one of the residence districts today,
the evidence tending to show that he com

mlto In his mouth with a fuse attached.
He then had lain down on the ground,
lighted the fuse and calmly waited the
end. A hole 15 inches deep marked the
place where his head had rested. Not a
vestige of the head could be found, and tie
trunk presented a terrible spectacle. There
is no clew to his identity.

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.

Brings Smiles to Women
Thousands of women arc heroically suffering In silence while even relatives never guess the real
truth about their condition. It is a living death to an ambitious woman to see her beauty fade and
realize that slowly and surely, day by day, she is nearer an untimely grave, to know that the pangs of
suffering are not only blighting her "beauty but exhausting her physical strength and nervous and
mental vitality. No hope comes from the doctor because he cannot cure little sympathy from friends
because they do not understand, but Wine of Cardui has brought a smile the seal of health to
thousands of such faces. The Wine regulates the menstrua! flow and strengthens the womanly organs.
The relief from it comes quickly and naturally. A delightful feeling of security from the tension of
pain tells the patient health is returning. Mrs. Turner suffered five years and no doctor could cure her.

failed to do her any good she commenced" to use patent medicines. At last she began using Wine of Cardui, which
seemed to help her from the first bottle. After using stvtn bottles she is a sound and well woman. Her weight was
90 pounds when she began your treatment, io-day she weighs 130 pounds. She does her own housework. some
thing she has not done for five years before I write you this testimonial unsolicited, because I want to let suffering
