TLRKEY CROP IS A LARGE ONE
Dona-la County WIU Bare a Many, If Not
More, Than In Former Year.
ROSEBURG. Or, Oct. 80. t Special.)
Reports received here from the various poul
try districts of Douglas County Indicate that
equally as many If not more turkeys will
be marketed prior to Thanksgiving this year
tban ever before.
From Oakland, Or., which haa won fame
as a turkey-producing district, comes news
to th effect that turkeys are more plentiful
this season than for -many year past. With
plenty of birds th buyer naturally antici
pate a decrease In price when compared
with former years. Local buyer ar al
ready in touch with the raisers and hun
dred of turkey will be contracted for with
in the next few days.
The outlook for Christmas bird Is equally
encouraging, although th prices may be a
trifle higher than prior to Thanksgiving.
PRESENT SCARCITY OF TOKAY GRAPES
Loral Consumption of Apple I on m Very
Large Scale.
There 1 a temporary scarcity of Tokay
grapes on Front street. In fact, grapes of
all kinds were in light supply yesterday and
firm. A few crates of Emperor were re
ceived and sold at 11.10 a crate. Concords
were quoted at 12i cent a basket. A car
of California Muscats Is due today, also a
car of California grapefruit.
There was a very good trade In cheap
priced apples; but th Front-street dealers
were not able to move supplies as fast as
they came in. They hope, however, to pre
vent the accumulation from becoming seri
ous. The low prices at which apple are
now obtainable should greatly stimulate
their sale. Well-posted apple men figure
tlie present local consumption at twice what
It ever was before.

NEW YORK Oct. 80. Th shadow of
war hung over the financial horizon toaay
again. All foreign market were unset
tled after an early period of optlmism.due
to report that two of the leading Euro
pean powers had arrived at an amicable
understanding regarding the conflict In the
Balkana
London's sarly tone was on of cheerfulness
on buying order from th Continent and
absence of further liquidation In Canadian
Pacific. That stock rose over four points
abroad and almost the entire American
group closed strong.
As a result of this apparent Improvement,
our market opened with a substantial rise,

, Before th end of th first hour, penis-
tent selling had wiped out much of the ad
vane, and at midday It was utterly effaced
with some Issues selling under yesterday's
low.
Br that time new from Europe had
again assumed an alarming ton and there
were signs that the foreign markets were
once more under a severe strain. Short
selling, especially In Steel, and presumably
based on yesterday's financial statement.
was a factor of the declining movement,
which was checked In the -final hour. More
or less complete recoveries were then re
corded, regardless of a rise of Q per cent
in call loans, th rally continuing to the
firm but dull close, and with numerous net
gains.

WEST MEASURE OPPOSED
Former Head of State Prison Hits
Death Penalty Abolishment Act.
NEWPORT, Or., Oct. SO. (Special.)
C. W. James, ex-superintendent of
the Oregon State Penitentiary, who Is
enjoying; an outing here, Is opposed to
the West measure to abolish the death
penalty for murder in the- first de
gree, ilr. James is opposed to capital
punishment, but 'believes that the pend
ing bill does not carefully safeguard
the parfToning power and places too
much responsibility upon the trial
court. While reluctant to enter into
public discussion of the pending
measures, Air. James today expressed
himself as follows:
Having been frequently asked for a state
ment of my views as to the merit of th
bill now pending having for It object the
abolition of capital punishment In Oregon,
and upon which the people will be called
to express their convictions by the ballot
at the coming election, I will say that I
have no inclination to enter opon a dis
oussion of this subject or the pending bill.
As It Is known. I believe that capital pun
Ishment should be abolished and that when
ever this Is done, the pardoning power
should be carefully restricted.
The bill now pending does not restrict
the pardoning power. It ooncentrate or
places it wholly in the power of one per
son upon the recommendation of the judge
or hi successor in office of the court
which originally tried the cause. This is
burden and responsibility greater than
should be imposed upon any official. So
ciety I entitled to protection equally as
much a th criminal who commits the
orima of murder in th first degree. After
an experience of more than nin years as
superintendent of the Oregon State Peniten
tiary I have learned that in the past It
has not been very difficult to obtain a
recommendation for the pardon of a con
vict after a lapse of 10 or 15 years. A
person who, with premeditation, commits
murder I not safe to be at liberty and la
fortunate If his life 1 saved by the opera
tion of law. Why should we ba in great
haste to 'provide a method for eourlng th
liberation of' such from prison 7 The pend
ing bill, If passed, would, ' in my opinion,
soon prove unsatisfactory In Its operation,
if not a menace to society. An early re
peal would be demanded by the people, ac
companied with the usual claim, that aboli
tion of capital punishment nad again been
a failure. I do not believe that the bill
now pending providing for abolition of capi
tal punishment in this state should be
i opted in Its present form.

PAISLEY EXHIBIT BIG
FIRST ANXCATj FARMERS IXSTL
TUTE IS SUtXJESS.
Star Attraction at Show Is Display
of Orchard, Flcldl and Garden
Products Woman Victor.
PAISLEY. Or Oct, JO. (Special.)
The first annual Farmers' Institute and
Fair ever held in Paisley closed Sat
urday night with a blgr programme
given by the Paisley Athletic Club.
The institute was formally opened
Friday by an address on the "Unde
veloped Resource of the Chewaucan
and Summer Lake Valleys." by R. A.
Harrower, ex-presldent of the Commer
cial Club. He was followed by a num
ber of musical selectiona. After the
entertainment at the hall a short race
programme was given on the streets.
The chief event was the 100-yard dash
which David narrower won In 12
seconds. The rest of the day was
uassed in visiting: the display of live
stock and of fruits, grains, grasses and
fancy needlework exhibits in the ex
hibit hall.
Only a small amount of stock was
brought In, but what was shown was of
good quality. The only registered
coach stallion In Oregon was among
the entries. He is owned by a com
pany of Paisley rancher. The poultry
exhibit was good.
The real attractions of the show were
the products of the orchards, fields and
gardens. Every product of the soli.
ncludlng all the fruits, grains, grasses.
nuts and vegetables of the temperate
sone. were here. Visitors from other
communities were amazed at the re
markable display, saying that they had
no idea that there was anything like It
In Central Oregon.
The Chewaucan cup, a picture of
which was shown in The Oregonlan of
October 20, was won by Mrs. Zed Har
ris. The cup Is to be held for one year
bv the rancher showing the best gen
eral farm exhibit. Saturday was given
over to executive sessions and ar
rangements were perfected for the per
manent organisation of a fair asso
ciation, the object of which will be the
giving of an annual fair here.
A resolution or mantes was oiierea to
Mrs. M. C. Currier and J. E. Sawhill,
secretary Central Oregon Development
League, for the active part taken by
them in making the institute the suc
cess that It was. Another resolution
asking the County Court for an appro
priation for the establishment of a
demonstration Btation somewnere in
Lake County was adopted unanimously.
