iG CROPS EXPECTED
Report
s Received From All
Sections of Oregon.

There Will Be Bis Increase la
Acreage Cultivated Thl Year
SheepralslHff Abandoned.
Crop reports from all sections of the
state, made to "William Harder, general
agent of the freight department of
the Great Northern Railroad at Port
land, show a general increase in
acreage and good prospects for a bounti
ful yield this year. Orchards are In first
class condition, with but little damage re
sulting from "Winter frosts. The stock
growers came through the "Winter with
scarcely any losses, and will market an
Increased amount of beef cattle and
sheep. The wool crop of the state will
show a substantial Increase.
New settlers have been rushing into all
parts of the state during the year, and
from every section reporting there comes
a story of Inquiries for farming lands and
business openings, that supports the con
tention that a big increase In Immigra
tion may be expected during the coming
year. Of the aO reports received by Mr.
Harder none discourage the belief that
immigration to Oregon is increasing. A
few towns show that the movement, so
far as they are concerned, is very light.
but a general insistence upon the prom
ise of a better immigration for the future
is a feature of the reports.
Hop statistics are meager, but they all
tend to prove that there will be an in
creased acreage this year. In some sec
tlons this increase will run as high as 20
per cent, but such Instances are rare. As
a rule the hop acreage will show a slight
increase, but since crop prospects are
good, this will mean a marked gain in the
yield.
In scattered sections slight damage has
been done to the fruit crop, but this dam
age is not sufficient to indicate that the
yield will show any falling ott. The rich
Hood River country makes the most en
couraging report on the condition of the
trait crop. From the postmaster at Hood
River comes the statement that an in
crease of 33 1-3 per cent will be shown In
the number of acres under cultivation. It
is estimated there will be 700 acres of
strawberries grown, and that 2200 acres
will be occupied by apple orchards. "We
never had a better prospect for crops
than at present," concludes the report
from Hood River.
Grant's Pass makes a favorable report
on fruit conditions. A 10 per cent in
crease in acreage is reported, and the
orchards are declared to be in the best
condition ever known. At Ashland the
orchards are promising, and the fruit
growers are setting out new ones. Plain
view strikes a discordant note with the
report that crop, prospects In that vicin
ity are not very bright, but this is tem
pered by the statement that the orchards
are in fair condition. "Within a radius of
three miles from 3Iedford, it is declared
four-fifths of the acreage Is under culti
vation, and the orchards are in first-class
condition.
Only One Loss In Acreage.
"West Stayton makes the only report of
a loss in acreage this year. The report Is
not serious, so far as it affects the state
in general, for the acreage covered in the
report Is but 3000. Crop prospects In that
section are declared to be "certainly
good." though cold weather has kept
back the fruits.
From Eugene comes the statement that
a 10 per cent Increase In the hop acreage
will be shown this year. Salem, report
ing 7000 acres of land under cultivation
for the first time, declares there will be
a 20 per cent increase in the amount of
land devoted to hop culture. Near S1I
verton the crop will bo large. The hops
arc in a fair . condition, and all indica
tions are propitious.
Wheat and Winter oats growing In the
vicinity of Lewlsburg have been badly
damaged by frosts and dry winds. Condi
tions are favorable, though, for Spring
seeding. Spring wheat has not been
planted near Albany. Fall wheat In this
vicinity Is declared to have wintered well,
and orchardlsts find the conditions for a
good crop favorable. While there Is no
Increase in the hop acreage the crop will
be good.
There will be an Increase of 1000 acres
in the land cultivated near Oregon City.
Crop prospects are -first-class.
Sherwood is complaining of the low
prices quoted for onions and potatoes.
That is the only discouraging feature in
present conditions, so far as the .farmers
of that section are concerned. In the vi
cinity of Macleay the farmers are chang
ing from the growing of grain to stock
raising, on account of the unsettled con
dition of the wheat market during the
past few years. The wheat market is de
clared to be somewhat under the average.
An increase in the dairy herds of the
state is generally reported. Statistics
bearing out this assertion are not given
in the reports to Mr. Harder, but that
this is one of the policies of the farmers
indicated in even those reports glvins
rooagcr Information of conditions.
Abandon Sheep for Dairying.
It Is reported from Jefferson that the
farmers In the future will not keep as
many sheep as they have in the past.
They are turning their attention to dairy
ing. Jefferson reports that some stock
has been lost during tho Winter. The
dairy herds near Forest Grove are in
creasing. This is due to the fact that a
condensed milk plant has been erected at
Forest Grove, and dairying Is encour
aged among the farmers.
Arlington contends that the stock has
Wintered poorly in the vicinity of that
town. Condon shows that there is dan
ger to stock in the future. There are 63,
000 head of sheep and 1000 head of cattle
near Condon, and until the recent storms
the stock wintered well. The losses thus
far are insignlflcent. but feed is becom
ing scarce, and the situation may become
more serious.
In the country tributary to Shanlko
there are between 500.000 and 600,000 head
of sheep owned. Between 100,000 and 125.
000 head will be sold this spring. Six mil
lion pounds of wool will be marketed.
Statistics relative to the amount of Fall
and Spring wheat sown are not supplied
by Mr. Harder's correspondents. The
claim of a general increase is made but
no figures are given to substantiate it.
Each of the correspondents was asked
by Mr. Harder regarding the feeling of
the farmers, and he endeavored, if pos
sible, to locate the cause for any dissat
isfaction, should any be found to exist.
It 1 a peculiar feature of the reports
that .most of the correspondents declared
that "the farmers "never were satisfied:
they always complain about something."
Business men. however, were reported to
be well satisfied with conditions, and it
is declared that prospects were bright.
Number of Xew Settlers.
From altjparts of the state reports of
large immigration are maae. Eugene oe
clared that 500 new settlers had arrived
during the past year, and it is expected
the same ratio of increase will be main
tained during -the present year. Salem
summarizes the situation thus: "Sev
eral hundred families established, and
more dpo. Inquiries endless." Hood
HJver Insisted: "About 300 have arrived.
and more are coming every week." The
createst Increase is shown by Shanlko.
where 2000 n-wcomers have settled during
the past year, and 10,030 others ar ex
pected -within the next IS months. Grant's
Pass reports an Increase of 1000 in the
county, and Albany shows 200 settlers. A
report from Oregon City shows between
100 and 150 farmers from Eastern states
have settled In that vicinity during the
present year.
WHO "WAS JOHN DWYER?
Well Kbowb in? Arizona, His Fame
Spreads to Portland.
John Walters, of Bisbee. Ariz., was
among the arrivals at the Imperial Hotel
yesterday. Mr. Walters was busy read
ing a paper published in Texas, when a
reporter approached and proposed to
sound him on his impressions of Oregon.
"Haven't been here long enough to find
out much about the state," said Mr.
Walters, "but I know Tracy was raised
here."
For a moment, for euch is the fleeting
quality of fame, the reporter failed to
remember who Tracy was. At the end
of the forgetful moment he was hurriedly
endeavoring to explain his forgetfulness.
and also to assure the man from Bisbee.
that with Tracy's death the species be
came extinct.
"Not quite," said Mr. Walters. "We have
a few bad men in our own country. For
C. B. Wade.
Instance, there Is, or was until recently,
John Dwyer."
Unashamed of his Ignorance, the re
porter inquired who John Dwyer mlght.be.
"Who? John Dwyer? Dwyer, the leader
of the Taaul rebellion against the Mexi
can government? Dwyer. the coward cow
boy, the crudest man in the world, the
woman hater, the man who hanged a
mother and her baby side by side? Never
heard of Dwyer?"
Mr Walters backed off a little that he
might more carefully observe the un
abashed man who had never heard of
Dwyer.
In order to enlighten quickly euch
abysmal depths of historical Ignorance,
Mr. Walters took the reporter to a corner
where were two vacant chairs, produced
two idle cigars and waved hie hand for
silence.
"Dwyer," bejjan the man who knew,
"was a cowboy in Arizona. He came
originally from Kansas, but as far back
as anyone in the territory knew him he
was apparently a mixture of an Apache
Indian and a tarantula. A few years ago
we ran him out of Bisbee. That Is. he ran
himself out. He managed to dodge a
committee of exasperated citizens who
were looking for him with a rope, went to
Mexico, and in the Spring of 1S99 started
tho big rebellion of the Taqul Indians.
"He told the Taquls that the American
Government had promised him that it
would aid the rebellion, and the Indians
believed the tale. From that time until
his caDture by tho Mexican troops" the
etory of Dwyer Is a story of murder,
rapine and wanton cruelty. He never
spared a woman's life if there were a
shadow of a pretext for taking It. The
fact that sho had a distant relative In
the Mexican army was sufficient."
"And where Is Dwyer now?" asked the
reporter.
"I'm too polite to tell you." said Mr.
"Walters in a whisper, "but I'll tell you
how he got there. Ho was captured,
condemned to be shot and on the morning
of bis execution, he had to be dragged
out of hlselL He cried like a child.
begged for mercy and refused to stand
up to be shot.
This last discourtesy to his executioners
seemed to have definitely fixed Mr.
Dwyer's character in the opinion of the
man from Bisbee. and down in his heart
the reporter resolved to always be oblig
ing, even under the most trying circum
stances. Then he endeavored to return
to the initial point of the interview.
"And what do you think of the pro
posed reclamation of the arid "
The question died away on the report
er's lips. After the exciting history of
the rebel chief and the lurid scenes of his
execution, the query sounded flat and un
profitable. And still it seemed a good idea
to obtain "an expression from the Arizon
ian on some industrial topic
"It would have bees better if we had
caught Dwyer In Bisbee," said Mr.
Walters.

Unknown Lumber-Laden Vessel Is
Sighted by the General Neamayer
Wednesday N'oea.
ASTORIA, March 20. (S peci al.) A dis
masted lumber-laden schooner that has
been abandoned, is drifting a short dis
tance from the mouth of tho Columbia,
according to. the report brought in by
Captain Gautler. of the French bark Gen
eral Neumayer, which arrived this after
noon from Port Los Angeles. He states
that he sighted the derelict at noon on
Wednesday in 46.04 north and 12x14 west.
The vessel was about 300 tons burden,
painted black, with a white streak
around her and the paint appeared to be
new. Owing to the direction of the wind,
the bark could not approach nearer than
six miles of the schooner. Signal flags
were set but no response was made and
as there were no signs of life on board

peared new, as if it had been stowed but
a short time. The name of tho vessel
could not be made out owing to the dis
tance. The bar tug Tatoosh. Captain

DERELICT ON THE OCEAN.
DiKmasted Lumber Schooner Seen Of
Tillamook No Man on Board.
SAN FRANCISCO. March 20. Some
where along the coast between here and
Cape Flattery an abandoned lumber
schooner is traveling In the track of
commerce. Her name is unknown and
at present can hardly be surmised. The
fate of the men that manned her is also
a mystery.
The French bark General Neumoger.
which arrived today from Astoria, re
ports that off Tillamook she passed a
derelict lumber schooner. The vessel's
deckload was intact, but the masts were
gone and there was not a soul to be
seen on board.
Cnrlons Shipping Situation.
"If the year 1S02 has been sensational
in the history of shipping." says the
London Statist, "it has also been a re
markable one in the records of ship
building. It saw the formation of the
Morgan combine, and what seemed to be
an organized invasion of the maritime
empire of Great Britain. It saw the com
pletion of a novel bargain between the
Government and the Cunard Company, as
a sort of rejoinder to the combine. It
saw the conclusion of an exhaustive In
quiry into the effects of foreign shipping
bounties on British trade. It saw the
building of the largest vessel afloat the
Cedric and a huge output of big vessels.
It saw a depression in the freight mar
kets, acute and ruinous. Yet it also saw
an output of new ships close up to the
country's record. At one time It seemed as
If the output of the United Kingdom in
1902 would exceed even, that of 1901; and
so it would have done had all the dis
tricts been as well engaged as tho Clyde
and the Tyne."
Bp to Date ia Every Respect.
CHICAGO, March 20. Passengers be
tween Chicago -and South Haven, during
the coming Summer, are to have a daily
paper on the boat. The City of South
Haven, the new steel passenger vessel
which Is being built in Toledo, and which
is to be launched tomorrow, will be
equipped with a system of wireless teleg
raphy and a plant for publishing a small
newspaper. It is promised that the new
steamer will be the fastest on the lakes,
as the contract provides for a speed of
not less than 20 miles an hour. The
steamer is 260 feet long and 40 feet wide.
There will be three decks and sleeping ac
commodations 'for 400 persons, as well
as a deck room for 2000 persons. Every

Valuable Lumber Cargo.
ABERDEEN, Wash., March 20. The
schooner Espada was towed out of port
last night by two tugs, and passed out
over the bar at high tide this morning.
She carries a cargo valued at $35,000. one
of the most valuable that has ever left
this port. It consists of mahogany, ash
and oak, loaded at San Francisco, and fir
decking and other first-class lumber taken
on here. The cargo has been placed on
board the vessel with the greatest care.
There is 900.000 feet In the entire cargo;
which goes to Manila.

Comlnsr From Antwerp.
Balfour. Guthrie & Co. will lay on at
Antwerp for April loading the French bark
Marechal de Turenne. 1711 tons, Roux,
master. The bark will bring cement.
rails and general cargp, coming to Port
land via Port Los Angeles. The Turenne
recently arrived at Queenstown with a
wheat and barley cargo from San Fran
cisco. Other ships en route to Portland
with general cargo from Antwerp are

Canneries for Both Seasons.
ASTORIA, Or., March 20. (Special.)
The cannery which P. J. McGowan &
Sons will' erect at Ilwaco is understood
to be for operation only during the latter
part of the season. When the water In
the upper river gets too low for the
wheels to run, the crew from the Cas
cades cannery is to be brought down to
the Ilwaco plant. By operating" in that
way, there will be no danger of having
more fish than can be handled, as was the
case last year.
Lost- Machinery Recovered.
Captain Larklns. of the steamer Walker,
who has been searching for the lost
cylinder-head, pitman-strap and other ma
chinery from the Undine, which went over-
zoard at Cathlamet Monday night, found
the missing parts Thursday evening and
brought them up yesterday. Captain
Larkins found that the trouble was caused
by the breaking of a pin, which exonerates
the engineer of the Undine from any
charge of carelessness.
Lynch. Stays In Jail.
ASTORIA. Or., March 20. (Special.)
Paddy Lynch has as yet been unable to
secure new bonds, and the indications are
that he will be held in jail until the Cir
cuit Court meets on April 13. It Is under
stood that an attempt will be .made to
have the trial transferred to some other
county, for the alleged reason that the
people of Clatsop County are so preju
diced against Lynch that he could not se
cure a fair and impartial trial at their
hands.
General Neumayer Arrives.
The French bark General Neumayer,
1461 tons, arrived at Astoria yesterday
in ballast from San Francisco, after a 17
days' passage. The bark is under char
ter to Balfour, Guthrie & Co., to load

South Africa. She will probably leave up
from Astoria today, towed by the Har
vest Queen.

BRIDEGROOM IS MISSING
EMPLOYERS MISS ?500 AND THINK
HE TOOK IT.
James McDlarmld", Who Worked for
American Typefounders Company,
Deserts Wife and Disappears.
James McDlarmld is missing and so la
$300. A broken-hearted bride of less than
a month is worrying about her husband,
and the American Type Founders Com
pany has credited the 5300 to their profit
and loss account, because McDlarmld's
love for a destitute sister was stronger
than the dictation of his conscience.
McDlarmid was thoroughly acquainted
with the intricate business of the type
founders company, and as a man wa3
needed to superintend the establishment
of a new branch house in Seattle, none
was deemed more competent than he, and
on March 4, he was assigned to the po
sition. On March 7 he returned to Port
land to spend Sunday with his wife, and
on the same afternoon ati 1 o'clock, he
kissed her and bade her good-bye, saying
he must catch the 2 o'clock train for
Seattle. He has not been seen since.
John S. Pinney, manager of the type
founders' company, had received no word
from him and supposed that he was in
Seattle attending to his duties. On March
11, Mr. Pinney received a telegram from
H. W. Rowland, the Seattle manager,
asking why McDlarmld was being held In
Portland. The surprise of Mr. Pinney is
Imaginable. Ha at once Instituted in
quiry and discovered McDlarmld had been
in Portland the previous Sunday. Suspect
ing nothing- wrong, W. A. Lee, formerly
the bookkeeper, was sent for. In the
meantime Mr. Pinney telephoned a cus
tomer requesting that he make a remit
tance of $300 due the company, and was
greatly surprised upon being Informed
that the payment had been made several
days previous. The check was traced
through the bank in regular order, but no
entry had been made In the company's
cashbook.
But one conclusion could be drawn. Mc
Dlarmld had absconded with the paltry
sum of SaOO.
In the latter part of January It is said
that McDlarmld received a letter from his
only sister, a young married woman re
siding In Boston. The letter told a tale of
a worthless husband and two little chil
dren, whose shelter, was a room In a tene
ment house, and whose only food was
that furnished by the mother who had
never wanted for a comfortable and happy
home.
In confirmation of the supposition that
tho stolen money was sent to the un
fortunate sister. John S. Plnneyt man
ager of the type founders company, said:
"I wish to reiterate that James McDlarmld
had, to my knowledge, no superior In his
profession. His fall is a sad one, take
it as you may. I know he sent the money
to his destitute sister in Boston. He was
kind hearted to a fault."
The missing man was employed by the
American Type Founders Company last
July, upon the recommendation of the
Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company,
for which company he had been a faithful
and competent servant In the auditing de
partment. On February 21 Miss Nellie
M. Gibson, a well-known young woman
of Ashland, became Mrs. McDlarmld. The
happy couple lived In a pretty little home
at 354 Taylor street, where every spare
moment from duty found the affectionate
husband. The grief-stricken wife refuses
to believe the charges against her hus
band, and says she Is confident something
terrible has befallen him.
Dr. Coll In pre Free Again.
Dr. J. E. Colllnge, of psychic vibratory
fame, will not be prosecuted on the
charge made against him by Maud Mar
sells, of Victoria. His case was heard in

EARLY SPRING
Predicted by Old Weather Pro
phets. Present Indications are that Winter will
soon be gone. In a few weeks the sweet,
warm sunshine will quicken, the earth,
anu the trees, the flowers and the birds
will tell us that the mantel of frost and
snow has been cast aside and balmy
winds will whisper of the golden Sum
mer that is to follow. This will be the
last Winter on earth for many a human
soul. Diseased organs and poisoned blood
will not respond to the changing seasons
unless given assistance. In 1902 8.756,000
cases of blood, heart trouble, catarrh, ner
vousness, rheumatism, constipation and
kidney disease were cured by Dr. Burk
hart's Vegetable Compound. 25 cents. All
