ONE CAUSE OF SUICIDE.
Cin an Eu.mil Standard of Morals Be
Applied to Both Sexes f
McMlNNVlLLE, Or., Feb. 10. (To the
Editor.) Your article in yesterday's Ore
gonlan. entitled, "An Awful Indictment,"
tells some very plain truths, but there
is one branch of the subject Including
the real class of culprits that needs fur
ther notice.
Every town and almost every com
munlty has a few men who make it a
part of their life work to prey upon the
good names of women and girls. Thesj
venom-tongued gentry will sit around
the customary loafing places of boys and
drool out their slimy poison into the
minds of these boys while In the forma
tive period of their character. With de
licious relish they weave lies concerning
their exploits.
Whether a girl has made a misstep or
not, if these gentry can succeed in his
sing on these boys, and following in with
the hungry pack, they are engaged in
the highest aim of their lives.
When a girl finds herself hunted as a
wolf, suicide Is one way of escape, and
the cause of It. being made of sterner
stuff, becomes a braggart on the high
way against both sexes, a depraved ex
ample like his teacher. Women will not
lay the blame where it belongs. There
Is no crime in the catalogue of human
depravity that a man can commit that
a woman will not forgive and condone
But let one of her own sex make the
slightest misstep and a thousand feminine
heels are planted on her neck without the
hope of mercy.
By this method woman has lifted her
own sex to a high plane of purity. If
wo were as unrelenting with the trans
gressors of the other sex, we should lift
the entire race to a higher civilization.
But we patronize them in business, run
them for office and favor them every
way so long as we do not learn of their
injuries to our own household.
Vile literature is kept out of the mails
and it can be stamped out of -the mouths
of lecherous men. We do not allow dis
respectful remarks about our flag. Is the
good name of our women less sacred?
Some localities use the rope and the
stake to correct kindred abuses, but law
and order committees should try all law
ful means first. If we have no laws to
reach such cases, let us make them, and
make them to reach the real cause.

FEW 1901 PRIMS ON HAND
SALEM GROWERS HOLDING FOR
41-2 CENTS FOR -S0-50 SIZE.
Good Ontloolc for , Industry Thin
Year Co-operation in Marketing-
a Failure In California.
SALEM, Or., Feb. 11. With the excep
tion of about 12 carloads, all the prunes
grown in this vicinity during the year
1901 have been marketed. The total crop
finding a market here Is about 125 car
loads. Of the dozen, cars remaining,
seven are held by the Willamette Valley
Prune Association and the remainder by
indivldual growers. The Association is
holding for its established price, a basis
of 2i cents for the four sizes in bags,
or 4 cents for the 40-30 size. The bulk
of the crop of 1901 went for much less
than 4 cents, some of It having been
sold for as low as 3 cents for the 40-50
size. The association has endeavored to
tell its goods in fancy boxes, thus se-
VICTIM IN A' SECOND DURRANT CASE.
NORA FULLER, OF SAN FRANCISCO.
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 11. Nora Fuller's murderer Is still at large, and It la
believed thousands of miles from the scene of his terrible crime, but the whole
police force Is etlll following every possible clew to the whereabouts of the mys
terious John Bennett, alias C. B. Hawkins. Captain Seymour's confidence In the
evidence which entangles Bennett has steadily increased. The chain of circum
stances, together with the facts have been carefully welded, and it is stated that
In bringing the accused before the bar of Justice the authorities would be able
to present a stronger and more damaging case against the prisoner than In the
famous Durrant case. The Inquest ovr the remains of Nora Fuller was to havo
been held this morning, but has been postponed to a later day this week. The
Jurors, after viewing the body of the girl, made an Inspection of the Sutter-street
house. v
curing a better price for it than could be
obtained for fruit sold without a brand.
Market Unlet Nov-.
H. S. Glle, manager of the association,
says there is now no demand for prunes
at prices quoted, though Spring orders
are expected. No fear Ls felt that the
remaining stock will be sold on the 2i
cent basis. It ls learned from California
that the association In that state has
Just sold 2u0 carloads of prunes of the
crop of 1900, thus clearing up the carry
over crop. Not long ago the association
made a sale of 200 cars of the carry-over
crop, the two sales amounting to 400 cars.
This' fruit will now be going into
the market- It is reported that the price
received for the 1900 fruit In California
was slightly less than 4V4 cents for the
40-30 size .Practically all of the 1901 crop
In California has also been sold, the
basis price being 3Vi cents, thus leaving
no fruit for the growers In that state to
carry over Into the season of 1902.
Good Outlook for 190.:.
In view of this situation In California
and the fact that the Oregon crop will
all be disposed of. it would seem that
there will be no carry-over prunes next
Fall to affect the market for new prunes.
Last Fall the California association held
about CO.000.000 lbs. of 1900 fruit until 'the
crop of 1901 was ready formarket. Neces
sarily the carry-over crop had an influ
ence upon the price, and was in no small
degree responsible for the low price for
which much of tho Oregon crop was sold.
Manager Glle, of the Willamette Valley
Prune Association, says that with all
the old stock disposed of, tho growers
have reason to expect at least fair prices
for the crop of 1902. unless there should
be an enormous crop this year.
Co-operation a Failure.
Co-operation In marketing fruit has
proven a failure In California, accord
ing to reports received from that state.
After several lawsuits It was determined
that the association could not hold prunes
under the contracts It had with grow
ers, and could not compel performance of
the agreements. While the association
did much good, yet it failed to accomplish
what was expected. The association un
dertook to fix prices, but the results
showed that buyers could buy prunes out
side the association at lower prices, and
the combine held its fruit over. With the
closing out of all fruit on hand, the as
sociation will probably cease all opera
tions. The San Jose Mercury recently
quoted Treasurer Bond as saying:
Within 60 days the affairs of th association
will be wound up. the balance due all growers
remitted nnd a clean balance sheet presented.
We are planning on nothing but to sell all
property belonging to the association and go
out of business. No other way Is open. No
attempt has been made to obtain new contracts.
Tho old ones have expired. Personally, this
attempt demonstrates to my satisfaction that
It ls not possible for producers to co-operate
successfully. In theory. It Is admirable; In
practice, disastrous. Tho annual mwtlng will
be called In May and a report made to the
growers. This will be the last chapter In the
history of the prunegrowcrs' combine.
There Is some talk In California of the
organization of stock companies, upon
the same plan as adopted by the Willam
ette Valley Prune Association, but such
companies would be local in their scope,
and would not undertake to control the
prane output of the state.

IMPORTANT TIDELAND DECISION.
Mnny .liny Have to Give Up a Part of
Their Tracts.
OLYMPIA. Wash., Feb. 11. Should an
opinion rendered yesterday by Attorney
General Stratton be upheld by the courts.
It will result In much confusion among
tldeland purchasers In this state. In ac
cordance with the law governing second
class tidelands. all contracts and deeds
Issued by the state for tidelands in de
scribing such lands contain the following
clause: "All tidelands of the second class
owned by the State of "Washington, situate
in front of, adjacent to or abutting upon
the Government meander line described as
follows," etc. It has been the theory of
the state, and the purchasers that this
clause would Include all tidelands below
high-water mark. As a matter of fact.
In one-half, at least, if the contracts and
deeds. It docs not. The Government 7ie
ander line skips across intervening inlets,
and a large amount of tldeland lies be
tween the meander line and upland. The
Attorney-General is of the opinion that
the stato has not disposed of tidelands
above the meander line In any of Its con
tracts, and that though the state owns
such lands, unless the upland was pat
ented before the state's admission. It has
no legal authority to dispose of them. As
the law now stands, it Is Attorney-General
Stratton's opinion that hundreds of pur
chasers of tidelands own much less land
than they suppose. The same is true of
oyster lands. Invariably the Government
i-candcr line forms the boundary on one
cldo of all oyster claims, and In many In
stances owners of such claims are culti
vating lands they do not own above the,
actual meander line, but below high-tide
line.
