San F'ranclsco.
FRANCISCO. June lL-Judge Da
Haven this morning Issued a restraining
order enjoining the Bank of Monterey and
the American National Bank from Inter
fering with or hindering the receiver
from taking possession of tho -warehouse
at Port Costa, together with the grain
and merchandise which It contains, and
also prohibiting him taking possession of
the wheat which is stored In the barges
alongside of the warehouse, or hinder
ing him from returning the wheat to the
warehouse.
The books of Eppinger & Co. and the
Pacific Coast Warehouse Company were
this morning turned over to the. re
ceiver. Henry Ach, the attorney representing
the members of the bankrupt Arm of
grain dealers, this morning indignantly
denied that Jacob Eppinger. Herman Ep
plnger and Bernhard Eppinger, the co
partners in the firm's business, were in
hiding.
It was announced this afternoon that
the officials of the bank of Wells, Fargo
& Co. today set out to begin criminal pro-
ceedlngs against the members of the firm
of Eppinger & Co.. but were induced to
defer action, owing to the fact that Dis
trict Attorney Bylngton will tomorrow
lay the case before the grand jury.
The whereabouts of the Epplngers
had not been learned tonight, but their
attorneys maintain the grain men are
still in San Francisco, and will be pro
duced when needed.
Comment was made on the street today
on the allegations set forth in Receiver
"Wadsworth's Injunction petition that the
American National Bank and the Bank
of Monterey had within the past two
weeks sent agents to the Crockett ware
houses to Inspect the grain there and
mark the sacks. It is estimated that some
hint must have been then given the banks
of the shaky condition of the firm.
A peculiar development of today was
that the warehouse books were not
turned over to Receiver "Wadsworth along
with the books of the local office. The
attorney for the firm, however, promised
to produce them tomorrow morning.

GRAMMAR GRADE GRADUATES. "'
Increase in Quckamas Over Last
Year Canse of Small Percentage.
OREGON CITY. Or.. June (Special.)
Thirty-seven of the a puplln of the
Clackamas County schools who took the
eighth-grade examinations this month
were successful and will receive diplomas.
A class of 31 will take the examination
this month, and Superintendent ZInser
says there will this year be about 123
graduates from the grammar grades in
this county. Last year the graduates
numbered only 70.
While the class this year is considerably
larger. Superintendent ZInser reports that
it represents but. 2 per cent of the
enrolled pupils of the schools. This goes
to show that the large majority of the
pupils attending schools are obliged to
abandon their classes for farm work be
lore they have completed the grammar
grades. The law recently passed by the
Legislature compelling school attendance
will not relieve the situation any since it
ft
applies only to school children under the
age of 16 years.
1 "The consolidation of rural school dis
tricts." says County Superintendent ZIn
ser. "Is the only plan by which the per
centage of the graduates from the gram
mar grades 6t the public schools can be
increased. By the consolidation of dis
tricts the school attendance is Increased,
the quality of teaching is improved and
the length jit the school term Is. extended."

THAT SALMON" MAY CLIMB FALLS.
Succession of Basins Will Be Blasted
in Willamette Rocks.
OREGON CITY. Or., June 1L (Special.
Deputy Fish Warden H. A. Webster to
day made an Inspection of the proposed
site for the fish ladder to be Installed at
Willamette Falls at this city, to enable
the salmon to reach the Upper Willam
ette. It will be impossible for the State
Fish Commission to place the ladder un
til the low water season arrives, late this
Summer, but the site is being watched
as the stage of the river falls. In order to
determine the best place for the ladder.
Mr. Webster says that the ladder will
be more of a natural means of atcent for
the salmon than tho usual contrivance
with a great amount of superstructure.
The current of the streim where the lad
der is to be Installed is so severe that the
usual fishway could not be maintained.
Instead, a succession of basins will be
blasted in the solid rock, about three feet
apart.
With a series of these natural water
basins, tho fish will be able to reach the
upper river with ease. The "last Legis
lature made an appropriation of $50$) for
the ladder.

Son First to Discover Lifeless Body
. Woman Had Brooded Over
Hobo's Brutal Assault.V
OREGON CITY, Or., Juno 11. (Special.)
Mrs. Tlllie Wills, of Canby, In a fit of
despondency, committed suicide this aft
ernoon by taking carbolic acid. The poi
son was procured about 11 o'clock this
morning, but the body was not discovered
until 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The
woman died at the home of her father.
Colonel V. Balr. Coroner Holman held
an Inquest tonight, and the 3ury returned
a verdict of death by carbolic acid pois
oning, taken with suicidal intent.
Mrs. Wills was a widow, 35 years old,
and leaves two children. For several
months she had been making her h6me
with her father at Canby. This morning
she obtained a small sum of money from
him on the excuse that she expected to
pick strawberries and desired to get her
dinner. Her absence from home at the
noon hour did not excite any suspicion,
and it was not until her little son re
turned home late this afternoon that the
body was -discovered In the house, which
was locked.
Testimony at the Inquest developed the
fact that the poisbn was purchased at a
drug store about 11 o'clock in the morn
ing. The contents of the vial, containing
1& ounces, were taken.
The case Is a peculiarly sad one. Mrs.
Wills was the daughter of Colonel Balr.
ex-Commlssloner for Clackamas County,
and was highly respected. About five
weeks ago she was the victim of a crim
inal outrage at her father's home by a
brutal hobo. The victim brooded over her
trouble, and this is believed to have been
the cause of her suicide.

with a cargo of grain. The vessel and her
cargo were a total loss, and their value

CLATSOP CRUISERS OBJECTED TO.
Timber Companies Say They Are
TJsiujr Private Data.
ASTORIA. Or., June U. (Special.)
Some time ago the County Court author
ized Assessor Cornelius to employ timber
cruisers to aid him In securing data re
garding the values of timber lands in the
county, with a view of raising and equal
izing the assessments on that class ot
property. Max Young, W. G. Prescott
and Fred Biaisdell. three expert cruisers,
were engaged for the purpose, and have
been at work for several weeks. But now
there Is liable to be trouble over the mat
ter, as a number of the owners of large
tracts of timber and In the county are
making serious objections to the proceed
ing. The objections offered are three, the
first being that the court has no right
under the law to employ cruisers for such
a purpose, and, second, that to do the
work properly would cost at least 525,000,
an expense too great to be warranted by
the results obtainable. The third objec
tion Is the one that -will be urged the
most strenuously, and the assertion Is
made that the courts will be appealed to
to assist In its enforcement. It is that
the cruisers employed by the county will
turn In the estimates which they have se
cured during the time that they were
cruising for private parties, the data of
which they still retain.
The timber-owners claim that this in
formation was paid for by -them, for their
own personal use, and the cruisers have
no right to dispose of It to any- other per
son or persons. They assert that the cost
of cruising a timber claim Is about $32,
and that the information secured by the
payment ot that amount to the cruisers

EASTERN OYSTERS THRIVE THERE.
Shoalwater Bay Immigrants Have
Grown to Pound Size.
ILWACO. Wash.. June 11. (Speclal.W.
W. Howerton, one of the promoters of the
Oystervllle Oyster Company, has just re
turned from Oystervllle, near South Bend,
where he attended the planting of the
four carloads of Eastern seed oysterA
which arrived from Wareham, Mass., and
New Haven. Conn. The oysters were 15
days on the road, and arrived in good
shape, having been shipped In A. D. T. re
frigerator cars, packed in barrels. Among
the shipment were three sizes of oysters
the seed, yearlings and 2-year-olds. The
2-year-olds will be ready for the market
next year, as it only takes the Eastern
oyster three years to mature.
The Oystervllle Oyster Company Is com
posed of local capital, including some
Portland capital, and. although organized
less than a year ago, the stockholders are
well pleased with the outlook of the busi
ness for the future.
The planting of Eastern oysters In the
waters of Shoalwater Bay Is not an ex
periment. Twenty-seven years ago a man
by th8 name of Crellens planted several
barrels as an experiment. These oysters
are now being found in many places. They
are as large as a man's hand, and many
of them weigh a pound. Other men have
planted on a small scale in the past, and
the success of their efforts has caused the
business to grow until in, the neighbor
hood of 20 carloads have been shipped
from the East during the past Spring and
planted In Shoalwater Bay.
The Oystervllle Oyster Company Is one
of the most extensive oyster companies.
It owns 150 acres of oystex lands and is
acquiring more land as fast as posslb
It spent nearly $6000 for the four loads o
seed shipped this Sprinr. but will con
tinue to make- shipments each Fall and
Spring from now on.
