THE OltEGOXIAN. THURSDAY, AUGUST 28, 1913. IBIS GIBLTO LAY RUIN TO GAMINETTI Prisoner Declares He Will Not Contradict Story as Told by Young Miss. DIGGS IS ASKED TO LEAVE Defense Attorneys, Make Suggestion to Convicted Member of Famous Reno Party Wealthy Men TTax-A TMaA on Jnnr. BAN FRAJJCISCO. Aug. 17, With no crowds storming the courtroom doors or admittance; no stylishly dressed romen filling the spectators' seats md with only a number of morbid loiterers cupping their ears for tha estimony of the witnesses, the trial kf P. Drew Camlnettl. charged with violating the Mann white slave act. proceeded today before the Jury that was selected before the morning sea sion was over. The atmosphere Is different than during the trial of Maury L Dlggs, companion of Camlnettl, who was con victed a week ago under the same ac cusation. In the Dlggs case the Intense gen eral Interest was manifested by the large attendance and the variety of people attracted. In the Camlnettl case ha.lt the seats in the-courtroom are vacant, the excitement has given way to monotonous procedure and every one, even the defense, seems anxious to hurry and have the thing over. MiM Non-la oh Stand Todar. Miss Lola Norris, the Sacramento girl Camlnettl is accused of having en ticed away- with Marsha Warrington, her chum, to Reno, Nev., will take the stand tomorrow. It is expected by counsel. Theodore Roche, Assistant United States District Attorney, said today that her testimony would be Identical with that given In the case Of DigKS. Miss Warrington will fol low her on the stand. Proseautor Roche made his state ment of the Government's case almost identical with that heard by the Diggs Jury, wtlh one exception. one thing more. ne concluded. "and this the most Important In my statement: 'We Intend to prove that Lola Norris was a pure and virtuous girl up to tha time she met Camlnettl and that canal netti wrought her ruin. We shall prove It from the Hps of Lola Norris herself. Camlnettl Not to Demy. Camlnettl has already announoed that he will contradict nothing to which Lola Norris may testify. Roche aald the Government would not seek to prove that Camlnettl bought the tickets, but that he gave Lola Norris 120 to buy her ticket, and hat Intr rtle-ff-n aald: "There must be J lAder to this party," and bought the tickets himself. Dlggs. attired In a natty suit of brown and seemingly In the best of spirits, took a seat next to Camlnettl today. The attorneys for the defense, the same who defended him, requested him quietly to leave, and seeing the wisdom of the suggestion he retired to the corridor, where he spent the rest of the day gaily chatting with deputy marshals and court attendants. Judsre'a Comment Pertinent. Just before adjournment a pertinent comment was made by Judge Van Fleet bearing directly on Caminettl's responsibility In the Reno trip. Coun sel for the defense, in objecting to questions asked by Roche seeking to show the defendant had participated In arranging and conducting the trip. said that members of the train crew and-the ticket agent who had testified had failed to connect Camlnettl with any of the transactions concerning the purchase of tickets or the engaging of the drawing-room of the train. "It is not necessary," said the court. in overruling the objection, "to show that the defendant handled the money or made the purchase. Certainly. If the Government proves that he was in the party, under the circumstances they have set forth. It is sufficient showing to develop the connection of the defendant with the transaction. ' Four Witnesses Heard. Four witnesses testified today. They are: R. J. Simen. ticket agent at Sac ramento; M. B. Jones, the conductor of the train .upon which Camlnettl and his companions rode to Reno on tne morn lng of March 10; C H. Walbourn, the Pullman conductor, who sold Dlggs the drawing-room ticket, and S. A. Dedrick. the colored porter who waited on the party and helped them on and off the train. A majority of the Jurors are married. Their names follow: William Adams, merchant, married. lias children. Charles D. Clausen, architect, bach elor, the only juror younger than the defendant, who Is Z. Aia L. White, wealthy lumber dealer, 70 years old, married, grown children. Frederick S. Moody, business man, married, has children, is wealthy. , Francis J. Carolan, millionaire polo player, club man and society leader. K. C. Bradley, former general man ager of the Pacific Telephone Sc Tele graph Company, married, one son. Charles E. Hunt, retired shoe mer chant, married, no children. Benjamin H. Dibblee. former captain of the Harvard football team, broker, married, no children. C F. Michaels, wholesale drugs, mar. rled, has children. William Adams, fire Insurance, bachelor. Thomaa H. Hasklns, merchant, mar ried, haa children. William A. Heister, real estate, mar ried, no children. Conasel Refers to Polltira. "Would the fact that National poli tics have been Imported Into this case have any tendency to Influence your mind in arriving at a verdict?" was a favorite question of Marshall Wood worth, chief counsel for the defense. "I think counsel uses a most unfor tunate phrase," commented the court,' after several repetitions. "I should be sorry to think that what has arisen In connection with this case could be called National politics. I think it micht be properly called party politics in WasMngton." Anticipating any attempt of the de fense to show that Camlnettl fled to Reno in a panic without thought cf remaining and without preparations, the Government will introduce evi dence to prove that he resigned his position as a clerk with the State Board of Control and assigned his pay warrant to a saloonkeeper before he left 3 HURT BY EXPLOSION Buried Dynamite Responds to Stroke of Crowbar. OREGON CITY. Or Aug. S7. (Spe cial.) Twenty-five sticks of dynamite, tamped by a, heavy crowbar after they were supposed to have been fired, ex ploded yesterday and blew three men high into the air. All were injured and one may not recover. With an arm and a leg broken, his head badly crushed and Internal injur ries, W. C Ralney was carried to the Oregon City Hospital after the explo sion and is in a critical condition. Before the men at work on the rock crusher at First and Center atreets could pick Rainey up they had to move a rock estimated 'to weigh four tons. Part of the boulder was resting on the body of the unconscious man. The force of the explosion blew Ralney 15 feet and piled the rock on top of him. Rainey is 48 years of age and haa a wife and several children. Harry Cowden, 23 years of age. and Matt Pollner, SO years, were blown 0 feet and fell In a pile of rock and dirt. Dirt was blown by the force of the blast into the flesh and the men were painfully burned about the arms, face and neck, although their other injuries were slight. Wnrirmam had set the 25 dynamite sticks for an explosion about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. For some reason the blast did not fire. The men believed that It had gone through the bottom and that they wnnM have to reset the charge and fire it again to blow out the side of the hill. They picked up their heavy orowbars and began the work of tamp ing and setting for the second charge. "We have struck something soft," said one of the workers as his bar set tled Into the dynamite charge. Then there was an explosion that was heard all over the city and shook the win dows of the houses close to ' the crusher. Fragments of broken rock, boulders that weighed several hundred pounds and tons of dirt were blown Into the air and a great crevasse torn In the earth. E OFFICERS MAKING SEARCH FOR 11. XV.

OLD VETERANS TO VISIT Men Fought in Same Regiment, but Have Never Known Each Other. COTTAGE GROVE, Or, Aug. 17. (Special.) To visit a war comrade whom he had never seen, L. B. Moon, who with his wife had been visiting their daughter, Mrs. S. E. McGavran, left Monday for Portland, where they will be guests of A. C. Borthwlck, a real estate man of that city, and ex state commander of the Grand Army of the Republic. Messrs.. Borthwlck and Moon served together in the same regiment, the First New Tork heavy artillery, but had never met until this time. The Moons are from Kansas, and when Mrs. Moon was out here last year Mr. Borth wlck. learning that her husband had been such a close associate in the war, entertained her. Mr. and Mrs. Moon will leave Thurs day for Seattle for a week's visit be fore returning to their Kansas home.

PICKERS GO TO HOPYARDS Hundreds Assemble at Independence) to Aid in Harvest. INDEPENDENCE. Or. Aug. 27. (Spe cial.) As time for beginning of the hop harvest draws near, the town Is fill Ins; ud with pickers who have come to help us harvest the crop. Every train is now loaded, and from now on It will be impossible for trains to get out of this city on time. The picking will not begin until next week, but hun dreds of pickers have already come and are coming in early so as to get the best camping grounds. The weather Is still good and the quality of the hops still keeps up. On account of the light yield in some yards, it Is impossible to tell yet whether the crop will be heavy or light. All yards report full crews of pickers, and It Is expected that all of the crop will be saved this year. ROAD MONEY IS ALLOTTED i Forestry Recommendations Ap proved by Acting Governor Hart.

Prosperous Towns In Heart of Fer tile Walla Walla Valley Have Better Outlook Than Ever; Fu ture Consolidation Likely. BY ADDISON BENNETT. TWIN CITIES. Umatilla County. Or, Aug. 27. (Special Correspondence.) It would be as Impossible to write an article about Freewater without men Honing Milton as It would to write about Milton without having much to say about Freewater. So I will call the two places the nam often given them and endeavor to give the reader a fair idea of their standing. Milton was Quite an old town long before Freewater was ever thought of. When the 0.-W. E.4K. was built from Pendleton north to Walla Walla, the engineers found It impracticable to run directly through the little town of Milton. It missed It by a mile, or about that dlstanoe. I meant the heart of the town, for the depot la in the eltv lim its. A few years later a little trading point started up just outside of the city limits, but near tha depot. In time this place began to be Called Freewater, by which name It Is still known. There are various stories about the cause for the establishment of this town, but let It be attributed to business reasons pure and simple. No matter how It came about, no matter how fortunate for some and unfortunate for others It was the people of the two places have practically forgot'.en their dif ferences, and seem to be maklnir united errorta to build ud the Twin Cities. No doubt when the present population is doubled or trebled, as It will be in a mighty few years, the people of the Twin Cities will get together In a spirit of friendship snd amity and unite the two places under one city government. Tevra la Wonderful Valley. This Is In that portion of the won derful Walla Walla valley, belonging to Oregon. The river runs through Milton, and there separates Into two streams, one being called the Little Walla Walla and the other retaining the name Walla Walla. The former flows through Freewater. The main valley lies off to the north, northwest and northeast, towards Walla Walla and Its environs. The entire country, nearly all of it, be tween here and the ridge north of that city, la practically a vast garden spot. much of It covered with fruit tree a And In the entire state of Oregon there is no more prosperous - section than this. While It Is a fruit country first and a garden section second, there Is something being shipped almost every day from early In March until the first of the next January, and when Winter applea sell a trifle slow, as they did last year, the shipments of fruits and produce keep up the year through. I said it is a prosperous section; I can go farther and say that It never before had a better outlook than It has today. Remember now 1 am not speak ing of Milton or Freewater, but of both of them, and the district In which they are situated. Perhaps it will be well to explain that It Is an irrigated district. The annual precipitation hereabouts Is oftener under 15 inches than above it. The wheat lands around get but one crop in two years. The land now in orchards and gardens was all in wheat before water was put on it. Now water la taken from the Walla Walla River for much of the grult and garden section, but a good deal of land is irrl gated by pumping from wells. Water Righta Well Adjusted. Irrigation here is an art. In no place that I know of do the water users, the irrigators, get better service from the water at their disposal than here. Indeed, the irrigators of this section are noted for that. Another thing the water rights of this entire valley have been adjusted, so there Is no longer any friction or , disputed rights. Each city has a good weekly newt- paper. The Milton Eagle la one of the best papers any small state has, and One of the best known. It haa been successfully running almost 27 years. The present proprietors are Bruce Shangle and O. E. Dldlon. They are making money, and everybody here eems proud of the paper they are get ting- out. On the Freewater tide Is the Free- water Times, which Is in Its 12th vol ume. D. C Sanderson and his son, S. Bevltt, are the owners, editors and managers. Ther too are making money and getting out a good, live little sheet. Both the Times and the Eagle are all home print. Neither of them uses any plate matter. There are two railroads here, the O. W. R. ft N. and the Walla Walla Elec tric. The latter has a train each way every hour from I A. M. to I P. M, and several later trains. It is 12 miles to Walla Walla by the steam road, IS by the trolley. Both of these roads are doing a wonderful business here, fruit Shipments Large, Fully 1000 carloads of fruit and vege tables will be shipped from here dur ing the year 1912, and nobody can es timate anywhere near accurately the smaller shipments. Then come the grain shipments, about 100,000 sacks, and per haps 200 carloads of hay and alfalfa. Add to these figures the stock ship ments and the merchandise shipped In. and it will be seen that the railroads, principally the O.-W. R. & N, get a big revenue from the freights handled in and out of the Twin Cities. All the fruit this year Is being han dled through the Milton Fruitgrowers' Union and the Walla Walla Fruitgrow ers' Association, in connection with the Pacific States Central Selling Agency. The two former see to grading, pack ing and shipping the products, and the latter does the selling. This Is the first season of this arrangement, the local packing-houses heretofore doing their own selling. But thus far the present arrangement is more than satisfactory. W. B. Brooke, the president of the. Free water Commercial Club, said that last year the prunes (one of the big crops here) brought the shippers an average of $12.60 a ton; this year they have ao far netted $35. Cherries last season were a drug at a price scarcely above the cost of freight, packing and. boxes: this year they have averaged $50 a ton net. More than 210 tona were shipped East, through a San Francisco house, to be "maraschlnoed." These were Royal Annes. It is said that a number of Royal Anne trees in the district netted their owners $35 a tree, lots of them ran above $16 a tree. This Is net, de ducting all picking, packing and freight charges. Milton Has glx Churches. Milton is a town of churches and church people. There are six churches in the little burg Methodist Episcopal. Presbyterian, Adventist (Seventh Day, Baptist, Christian and Church of God. On the Freewater side they have the Catholic and a federated church, the latter being a consolidation of several organizations of different denomina tions. There Is also a college, the Co lumbia College, on the Milton side, where they educate people for the min istry. This belongs to the Methodist Episcopal Church South. It haa dur ing the term about 14S students. Whatever one may think of the towns' being divided and scattered, one thing is certain on school Questions there are no division, no dissent or dis cord. All of the territory In the two placea la in one school district. There Is a good grade school in each town and a central high school in the center of the district, midway between the two places. There Is also a small over flow grade achool on the Milton aide. The taxable property of the district exceeds $1,000,000, so the tax Is low. Professor J. J. Sturglll is city superin tendent and principal of the high school. He Is said to be an efficient man, one who maintains the best of discipline and yet retains the esteem of his pupils and teachers. The people in both towns speak highly of their schools and attribute their high stand ing largely to Professor Sturglll. Just now many Inhabitants there are In ' the places is a question to which I would not like to venture an answer. By the census of 110 Milton had 1280 and Freewater (60. Do the two placea still have about the same relative num ber! The answer yon will get to that question depends on the town you are In I should Judge two to one Is not far from the present standing, bow ever. STATE WILL COLLECT HOLDERS OF LAND MUST PAT CP INTEREST IX WASHINGTON. Contract of Delinquents Ordered Canceled -Where Improvements Have Not Been Made. OLTMPIA. Wash, Aug. 27. (Special) Democratio members of the State Board of Land Commissioners definite ly asserted themselves yesterday and addVted resolutions instructing the Republican Commissioner of Public Lands, Clark V. Savidge, to proceed forthwith to cancel and annul all land contracts on which Interest payment is delinquent and where no substantial improvementa have been made. State Forester Ferris, who as a member of the board. Introduced the reaolutlon, followed it with aharp comments on the policy of the land office to date In this matter. "It haa been the practice to permit such persons to hold large areas for two or three years without even psylng the Interest, and then when they have opportunity to dispose of such Ianda at a big profit to allow them to come In and pay up," said Ferris. Ferris added he did not believe It should be the policy of the board to work a hardship on farmers who have made improvements on their lands In good faith. The Board of Land Commissioners consists of the Commissioner of Pub llo Lands, an elective official and the State Forester and the three members of the Tax Commission, all appointive officials and all Democrats at present. In past years, however, the policy of the board always haa been guided by the suggestions of the Land Commis sioner, except for a short time during the administration of Governor Hay, when hie appointees clipped the wings of Land Commissioner Ross. Now It appears that Governor Lister's Demo cratic appointees have determined to take over active direction of land office affairs. BANDON MAN IS MISSING Slgval Johnson Not Seen by Friends Since Early Part of Month. BANDON. Or, Aug. 27. (Special.)

NIGHT - NOISES DISTURB Eugene Council, However, Decides to Let Gravel Trucks Run. EUGENE. Or, Aug. 27. (Special.) That troublesome consciences, rather than the passing motor trucks, keep some Eugene persons awake, was the suggestion offered at the Council meet ing by Y. D. HensllL Alderman, when Mayor To ran mentioned protests that have been made at the noise of the gravel haulers at night. Macadamlx ing of roads leading out of Eugene has made a heavy demand on the crushed rock dealers, whose five-ton trucks are kept going throughout the day and night to keep ahead of the workmen on the roads. Another Councilman suggested that the railroads and other evidences of prosperity make much noise at night, and. that the best thing to do Is to get 'accustomed to the noise. The gravel trucks are still running. BARS IN STATIONS TO PASS New Law Will Become Effective Sat urday Night. SALEM. Or, Aug. 27. (Special.) Next Saturday night will see the end of all saloons located In or near rail road stations, the law passed at the last session of the Legislature, making them Illegal, becoming effective Sep tember 1. The fight to do away with saloons In railway stations was atarted by Governor West more than a year ago. when an effort waa made to close the bars in the Jefferson-street station, in Portland, through injunction pro ceedings. It developed that the exist ing law relating to the subject was not sufficient to close the saloons and a new one was passed. The law affects a large number of aaloons throughout the state. So far as is known, the saloon men have no intention of fighting the law. Piano Falls on Depot Agent. CARLTON. Or, Aug. 27. (Special.) Charles Brandaw, assistant freight and baggage agent of the Southern Pa cific, was seriously hurt yesterday when a piano which he was moving to the depot from a car tipped over and caught his legs.

Keeping the Body in Repair Nature intended that the body should do its own repairing and it would do so were it not for the fact that most of us live other than a natural life. Nature didn't intend that we should wear corsets, tight collars or shoes, nor live in badly ventilated and draughty houses, nor eat and drink some of the things that we do, nor ride la street cars when we should walk.
