THE MORNING OEEGONIAN, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER .22. 1903: PRIEST GOES EAST Trouble Between Bishop O'Reilly and Clergyman. NO AIRING OF CASE IN COURT t ProHecntinR Attorney Declines to Is sue a Warrant for the Arrest of Bishop Appeal to Apos tolic Delegate. BAKER CITY, Or., Sept. 21. (Special.) The trouble between Bishop .O'Reilly and Bev. Faher Des Marais. of the Catholic Church of this, city. Is reported "to haVo -been adjusted this afternoon. Father Des Marais and his sister are to go East, and al court proceedings on both sides arc to be dropped. Assistant District Attorney Wlnfree de clined to issue a warrant for the arrest of Bishop O'Beilly and the other gentle men who accompanied him to the Catho lic parsonage Saturday. The attorney who represented Father Des larals de manded that a warrant issue, but Mr. "Winfree declined to comply with, the re quest . . . Father Des Marais, in a statement which he made today, Insists that he was assaulted Saturday and that locks on the doors "of the parish house "were broken. I. B. Bowen, who was present, Insists that no assault was made on Father Des Marais. but that he and Father Gartland seized and held Father Des Marais while the Deputy Sheriff took a loaded revolver from his hand. Father Des Marais insists that the laws of the church permit him to appeal from the order of the bishop removing him to The Dalles, to the apostolic delegate at Washington, and that such appeal stays all proceedings until It can be heard. The bishop does ot seem so to interpret the law. Father Des Marais says he has ap pealed. He has been suspended as a priest by Bishod O'Reilly until he consents to recognize the authority of his superior. While it is not so announced, it is un derstood that all appeals, suspensions and complaints will be voided by the depart ure of Father Des Marais for the East While the right of the bishop to make a change in the pastorate of the church is recognized by all classes, still Father Des Marais has the sympathy of a large por tion of the community. MONEY FOli HIS HEIRS. Forty Thousand Dollars "Wortn of Property o Late J. Conatser Sold. COLFAX, AVash.. Sept. 2L (Special.) Forty thousand dollars' worth of real es tate belonging to the estate of Joseph Conatser, deceased, was sold at auction today by Thomas Keyes, the adminis trator. The. property consisted of 140S acres of land, which brought from 520 to $35 per acre; and 100 lots in the town site of Sunset The lands averaged be tween 525 and 30 per acre, arid the lots brought an average of $5 each. The total receipts from the sale were nearly $40,000. Eleven thousand dollars' worth of per sonal property had previously been sold, making a total of more than $50,000 re ceived by the estate. This will be divided among the heirs who live in Texas and Arkansas. They are half-brothers' and sis ters of Joseph Conatser, some of whom were born af ter- he had disappeared at the close of the Civil War and they Sid not know they had such a relative until after his death. Joseph Conatser came to Whitman County from nobody knows where about 30 years ago, and took a claim near where Sunset now stands. He built a log cabin and lived the life of a hermit and miser, accumulating wealth, but associating with none of his neighbors, and his past re mained a sealed book until after his death, in April, 1902. Then began a search for his relatives, which resulted In the discovery of his half-brothers and sisters. Fragments of conversations Con atser had had with his neighbors were put together and enough was learned to form nn oninlon that he had lived In Texas. A search in that state revealed his relatives, -who were decided to be the heirs to the estate after a bitter trial over an alleged will nied by Dr. Cropp, of Walla Walla. In whose hospital Conatser died, and in 7hich he left the bulk tit. his estate to the hospital. The court decided the Vill was - not made by Conatser and awarded the .property to his relatives. The land sold Is largely unimproved, ex cept being fenced, but Is excellent agricul tural land and will be placed in cultlva tion by the purchasers. It was divided In 11 tracts of from eight to 265 eacres each. and sold to various parties. The prices obtained are considered high for unim proved land and are 50 per cent above the appraised value IS months ago. V FORT COLUMBIA IMPROVEMENTS. Additional Gnns to Be Placed and Parade Ground Made. FORT COLUMBIA, Wash., Sept 19. (Special.) The all-absorbing talk here and In the surrounding country Is the prob 4 able disposition to be made by the War Department of this fort. Last Spring the fort was left deserted by the removal of the Thirty-third Company of Coast Ar tillery and 6lnce then only six or eight men have heen stationed here under Sar gent Hendricks. They are simply caring for the Government property and keeping the fort in repair. Recently it was r,umored that arrange ments were under way thoroughly to re model the fort and send back several companies of men. Among the Improve ments were the placing of several, mortar guns, several emplacement guns, and the leveling off of the bluff, on the south of the fort. This was to secure dirt to dump into the bay In front of the fort to make a parade ground. The tide covers the bay for some distance in front of the fort, and with a little dirt a large parade ground could be made. The latest advices are that this work is to be begun within the next year, but no official confirmation of this report is at hand. However, it announced that a company of men will be sent here soon, and, looking toward this end, the officers' quarters -and build lngs of the fort have been repaired to some extent recently. An agitation is being started to have the Government establish a Government road ""between Fort Canby -and Fort Co lumbia. PEANUT VENDER ROBBED. Hid His Money in the Rafters and Found It Gone SALEM. Sept. 21. (Special.) The theft of $259 in coin from a peanut vender was the sensation sprung upon the people of Salem this morning. Last night, L. A. Geler, who runs a peanut, popcorn and bootblack stand In front of Ernest Ander son's barbershop, hid a sack containing $250 in a niche in the rafters in the rear end of the barbershop. When he went to get the money this morning it was gone, and there was no clew to the identity of the thief. This Is one of the heaviest hauls a robber has ever made in Salem. Geler never puts his money In a bank, but makes a practice of carrying It home at night. During fair week he ran two roasters and had three bootblacks employed and did a rushing business. The receipts were so large that he did not carry his money home, but hid it each night in the barber shop. By the end of the week he had ac cumulated $250, and this he hid as usual, but once too often. Some one had evident ly seen Geler hide his money and stole It during the night. The thief entered the shop through a rear window over which a wire screen was lightly' nailed. The win dow sash had been left open, and a thief could enter without making a disturbance. While Geler suspects one or two men ot being guilty of the crftne he has not yet secured evidence sufficient to lead to the Issuance of a warrant of arrest. The Sa lem police are working on the case, and Geler went to Portland today to search for suspects with the aid of Portland detect ives. , WIM OF DANIEL K. WARREN.

New Machinery- of the Willamette Valley Association Pat Into Op eration Change in Prices. ' SALEM, Or., Sept 21. (Special.) The great progress that has been made in the prune Industry in this state in the last few. years Is indicated by the machinery which was put' In operation today at the Willamette Valley Prune Association's warehouse in this city. In one corner of the warehouse stands an old-fashioned hand prune grader, of the back-breaking type. It was capable of handling ten tons of fruit a day if a gang of men could keep It going steadily. In the cen ter of the warehouse is a massive power grader, 42 feet long and ten feet high. jthe most up-to-date machine for that kind or work, its capacity is iix tons a aay. In former years the prunes were loaded on trucks, taken up to the second floor on an elevator .and emptlel Into- the grader by men who lifted the sacks ot prunes to the hopper. Now the grader stands on the third floor." A continuous chain carrying cups Tuns from the base-, mcnt to tho .top of the grader. On any floor prunes may be dumped into "a hop-' per and they are carried up to the grader without further, effort. From (he grader the prunes run through a steam process from which they emerge into another hopper and from this they drop into boxes all ready for packing. From start to finish manual, labor Is re duced to a minimum 'and nearly all the 'work Is done by machinery. During the passage of the prunes through the grader and processor they are cleaned of all dirt, are made uniform In moisture and are placed In the boxes bright "and clean. While the prune Industry has grown somewhat In the last few years by young trees coming into bearing, the greatest development has been along the line Of putting up a better grade of fruit for market and packing it In an attractive manner. While the Willamette Valley Associa tion has the largest processing and pack ing plant, in the Northwest, there are sim ilar plants In other places, notably that now being established by the Umpqua Valley Prune Association at Roseburg, which Is but little smaller than the one in Salem. Not enough of the 1903 crop of prunes has yet been dried to furnlBh data for accurate estimates of the total yield. From present Indications, Manager H. S. Gile, of the Willamette Valley Associa tion, thinks the yield in Oregon will be about 15,600.000 pounds, as against 13.000.000 last year. This estimate he gives largely as a mere guess, for comparatively few loads of prunes have been received. He thinks the prune crop of tho Northwest will be about 27,000,000 pounds. Sales of association prunes are con tinuing, about 50 carloads having been disposed ot The association has made a change in its prices, raising the basis price on large sizes and lowering It on small sizes. The basis price adopted was 2 cents. Now the price for 30's ison a basis of 3 cents for the four sizes, and for 40's and smaller, 2& cents basis for the four sizes. These basis prices mean 54 cents , a pound for 30s and 4& cents for 40s and cent off for each smaller size. In bags STATE VETERINARY BOARD. Will Be Named by the Governor in a. Few Days.

Best part of the Pablic Domain at Disposal of Corporations Which. Hold All the Available Script. THE DALLES, Or.. Sept 2l,-(SpecIa1.) The ruling by the department to con strue strictly the testimony taken in timber and stone entries in regard to spec ulation will have the effect of throwing open again a greater' part pf the timber land which has been entered under the act of June 3, 1878, and for which patents have not been Issued.

Tho Call will say tomorrow: "Three more Deputy Sheriffs employed at the county jail as jailers, and one and perhaps two Deputy United States Mar shals will. In all probability, be connected criminally with the unlawful substitution of Chinese before the investigation now in progress Is ended.
