YAKIMA FARMER
SELLS ALL PRODUCE
No Surplus Left on Hands of
Grower Who Markets by
Association.
TREE FRUITS LOOM UP
At Invitation of Portland, Eugene &
Eastern . Railroad, Co-operative
Experts Will Visit Any Part
of Willamette Valley.
BY MARK "WOODRUFF.
t Letter No. 7.
NORTH YAKIMA. Wash.. Oct 17.
(Special.) In considering the applica
tion of Washington marketing meth
ods to conditions in Oregon, and espe
cially the Willamette Valley, it should
be remembered that two entirely dis
similar growing conditions have been
encountered.
At Puyallup the co-operators are
, producers of vine fruits such as berries
and currants, and of large quantities
of garden stuff. Apples and other tree
fruits are secondary to the berrlas. Be
sides its organization for comme-nding
a market for its fresh berries, the
Puyallup and Sumner Association
operates a large cannery where surplus
berries and garden produce are utilized.
Yakima Grows Tree Fruit.
Here in the Yakima Valley the pro
duct is entirely tree fruit, 95 per cent
apples. Very few berries are grown for
the market, except at Kennewick, and
the only effort to grow garden stuff is
to supply the local demand. In hand
ling the marketable output of apples
the growers make use of the machine
ry of the Yakima Valley Fruit Grow,
ers' Association, plus the North Pa
rifle Fruit Distributors, or the Yakima
County Horticultural Union.
The big thing about both the Puyal
lup and Yakima situations is that the
farmer sells all he raises, and the big
losses of not being able to dispose of a
large percentage of his crops have
been eliminated.
With the greater diversity of prod
nets of the Willamette Valley there is
need there of one or more general sell
ing organizations which could be mod
eled after that of the Yakima Valley
Fruit Growers' Association and. its
agent, the North Pacific Fruit Dis
tributors, to be backed by an assocla
tlon combining local organizations de
signed for handling the peculiar needs
of each locality.
Various Growers May Co-Operate.
Thus the cherry growers of Marlon
county could be brought into co-ODera
tlon with the growers of other fruits
and with the vegetable man, so that all
the product could be marketed through
one' neaa. &ucn canneries, dryers or
other methods of treatment as are
necessary to handle the product of the
Salem district could be locally estab
lished. Hillsboro, Forest Grove, McMinnville,
Sheridan. Dallas, Albany, Corvallis, Eu
gene and ail other districts of the val
ley could be surveyed and the local
machinery in like manner established
as might be necessary to the character
or its products, but each of them mak
ing use of the one selling agency.
All operations being under a system
of Inspection and supervision in con
trol of the general selling agency, it
would be possible to make "Willamette
Valley" brands famous the world over,
and such a plan would be quite in har
mony with plans to advertise all the
counties of the valley as a unit at the
"1915 Exposition."
Railroad Invites Expert.
At the Invitation of the Portland,
Eugene & Eastern Railway three
Washington experts on co-operation
stand ready to visit any portion of the
Willamette Valley at any time, and to:
advise with growers as to what brand
of co-operation is best for the valley
or any locality. They are: W. H. Paul
hamus, of Puyallup: N. R. Richards and
E. E. Samson, of North Yakima.
Everybody knows Paulhamus. Mr.
Richards is the attorney for the Yaki
ma Valley Fruit- Growers' Association
and its founder, as well as being the
president of the interurban electric
railways serving the district. Mr.
Samson is at tho head of the Horticul
tural Union, an entirely different
branch of co-operation, but most sat
isfactory to many growers.
The next letter will be from Spokane
and will tell of the operations of the
North Pacific Fruit Distributors.

TEACHER DENIES CHARGES
Arlington Principal Accused' of Call
ing Lincoln "Common Bum."
OLYMPIA. Wash.. Oct. 17 (SDeciaLl
"John Hancock was a smuggler and
I can prove it," J. E. Sinclair, Socialist
school principal of Arlington, declared
yesterday in the course of his hearing
.on charges of unprofessional conduct
before Mrs. Josephine Preston, State
Superintendent of Education.
That he had termed Washington, Jef
f erson and Lincoln "common bums was
denied veher.oently by Sinclair, though
affidavits to this effect had been made
by former pupils.
Sinclair admitted terming part of the
flag salute "just plain fibs.
Other cha-ges against the Snohomish
County pedagogue were that he was
leading spirit In the strike of Industrial
Workers at Hoquiam in 1912, and that
while a teacher he had written articles
for a SocialiKt paper, addressed to school
children, inclined to bring the State
Legislature into disrepute. Sinclair
admitted this and said he believed the
legislators ought to consult the school
children before legislating presumably
for their benefit. A proposed law mak
ing a regular salute of the nag com
pulsory was the proposal that Sinclair
criticised particularly.
Glen E. Hoover, Socialist attorney of
Seattle, appeared for Sinclair. It was
Hoover's first case since the lifting of
the decree of "perpetual disbarment
administered by Judge Humphries as
the result of Hoover's activities in be
half of the Seattle Socialists.

her, Mrs. Brewer wanted me to call her
husband at Newport, and say that she
had a baby girl. I at first hesitated,
but finally did 'call him and informed
him that he and his wife had a new

MISHAP IS LIKE DREAM
Salesman, Speaking Incoherently
Describes . Brownsville Episode
and: Says He Was Thrown and
Injured on Head and Back.
GRANTS PASS, Or Oct. 17. (Spe
cial.) E. W. Green, of Portland, who
so mysteriously disappeared from
Brownsville following his team's run
away, has been discovered in a Grants
Pass billiard parlor by a fellow travel
ing salesman, K. F. W. Cook. Cook
was not recognized by Green, who
spoke incoherently and attempted to
Ignore his friend, who finally succeeded
in taking him to the hotel and tele
phoning to his wife.
Green in his wanderings came here
yesterday morning on train No. 13, and
took lodging at a cheap place opposite
the depot. He says that the whole thing
seems like a dream and his mind is
hazy as to what transpired.
He relates the runaway accident with
considerable detail but does not re
member buying a ticket for Eugene or
how he got to Grants Pass.- Once he
said he had a hat check and another
time he said he thought he was passed
up owing to the crowded condition of
the train and it was not until he had
slept most of a day and night in Grants
Pass that he. began to awaken to his
condition.
The runaway was caused by the
wheel of the buggy slipping from the
axle. He got out of the buggy to at
tempt to adjust the wheel. The horses
took fright, the line broke, they ran into
the stream and out again, where, he
says, he was thrown and Injured" on the
back of his head and shoulder, which
injury he still complains of.
Green had a ticket on him for Eugene
tonight and was going to return for
the purpose of having the rig fixed up.
The whole affair seems to humiliate
him, and his entire thought was to get
back and straighten it up without any
publicity. He was given a cap by some
fellow-traveler, who seems to have
guided him through the trip and told
him to get off at Grants Pass. He ack
nowledged that at times he seemed to
be dazed, but he thought in another
night he would be all right, that it was
sleep that he needed. He Brought with
him a coat, an umbrella and two grips.
Mr. Green's home is at 1228 Denver
avenue, Portland. He is regarded as
one of the most trustworthy employes
of the Blake-McFall Company. His ter
ritory as a salesman for that house was
the smaller towns of the Willamette
Valley, which he made by driving out
from Portland. As soon as Mrs. Green
learned last night that her husband had
been located, she called him up at
Grants Pass, and he told her something
or nis movements since the accident
which temporarily deprived him of his
reason. His wife and family and his
employers and his many friends in
Portland are greatly relieved to learn
of his safety, as they had almost aban-
oned hope for him, believing him
drowned in the river by which his
broken rig was found. The Blake-McFall
Company had men dragging the
river Thursday and Friday.
VOTER'S RIGHTS TOLD
FAILURE TO , REGISTER
NOT
HELD AS BAR.
Deputy Secretary of State Kozer Says
Electors May Pass on Referen
dum hy Old Record.
SALEM, Or., Oct 17. (Special.) In
an Interview today, Deputy Secretary
of State Kozer advises that a failure
to register under the permanent regis
tration law passed at the last session
of the Legislature will not bar an elec
tor from voting at the special election
in November on the bills to be referred.
He says they will be able to vote un-
er the registration of 1912 or by using
the freeholder's afldavit The perma-
ent registration law provides for com
pulsory registration in order for the
elector to vote, but Mr. Kozer gives it
as his opinion that part of the law is
nconstltutlonal, and that an elector
can vote any time as long as he com
plies with the constitution by using a
freeholder's affidavit Continuing, Mr.
Kozer said:
"I gather from many letters reaching
this ofifce that the question has arisen
in the minds .of a number of the citi
zens of the state whether legal voters
who have not registered under the "per
manent registration law,' as enacted by
last Legislature, since the same
became in force June 3, 1913, will be
permitted to "vote at the ensuing spe
cial election November 4, 1913, at which
time such of the measures enacted by
the recent Legislative Assembly upon
which referendum petitions were filed
will be voted upon.
To allay any apprehension which
may exist in the minds of any of the
voters of the state in this regard I
would call to their attention the provi
sions of section 2 of the law authoriz-
ng the holding of the special election
November. 4, which particularly pro
vides that 'legal electors may vote un
der their registration for the year 1912,
or upon affidavit of six freeholders as
provided by law." "

PORTLAND. Oct 17. (To the Edi

Oregonian of Friday, October 17, there

In this article there appears the fol
lowing sentence: "Mr. Larrabee ad
mitted on the stand Wednesday that be
had stated in the event a sale was
consummated he would take care of
Mr. Coopey's commission." The Larra-

self, and I desire at this time to call
your attention to the fact that this Is
an error on the part of your paper,
I made no such admissions upon
the stand in this case, and as this state
ment seems to put me in a position of
refusing to live up to my obligations.
request that you make the necessary
corrections in your next issue by pub
lishing this letter.
Your.account Is rather misleading in
tatlng that I had agred to settle with
Mr. Coopey for his share of the com
mission on the basis of $70,000. The
tacts in the case are that in December,
4 I gave to Messrs. Keady and Swen
son an option to sell certain lands, at
which time it was agreed by Messrs.
Keady and Swenson that in case the
property was sold and a commission
earned under that option. I was to re
tain out of the commission due Keady
and Swenson, under that option, the
sum of $70,000, and pay said sum to
Mr. Coopey as his share or tne com
mission earned under the option given
December i. 1912; but as Messrs. Keady
and Swonson were unable to sell the
property under the option given De
cember 4. 1912. which expired Decern
ber 14, 1912, there was consequently
no commission earned' by Messrs. Keady
and Swenson. Therefore, I had noth
inn in my hands of Keady and Swen
son from which I could pay Mr. Coopey.
I do not wish to be placed In a posi
tion as a person who repudiates his
obligations. C X. LARRABEE.

Mike Spanos and Frank Seymour
Sentenced to Hang for Death of
George Dedeskalons, Blame
Blow to Thomas Fricas.
SALEM, Or., Oct 17. (Special)
Governor West will not consider ex
tending clemency to Mike Spanos and
Frank Seymour, sentenced to be hanged
October 31 for the killing of George
Dedeskalous, in Medford, who. In
signed statement attempt to fasten the
crime fn Thomas Frlcas, until a com
plete investigation has been made. Ac
cording to the statement the homicide
was the result of Dedeskalous refusing
to lend his alleged slayer money. It
was agreed, the statement says, that
Frlcas, Spanos and Seymour would say
nothing of the crime and if either did
the others were to testify against him.
oeymour, Spanos and Frlcas, the
statement continues, met early on the
night of the crime in a saloon and
discussed attending a moving-picture
show. Then they decided to have
Dedeskalous go to Frlcas' home and
asked him to become a memberof the
party. Meanwhile a watermelon was
purchased and when Dedeskalous re
turned with Frlcas they repaired to a
box factory and ate a melon. A quart
of whisky produced by Frlcas was
consumed and Frlcas .aBked Dedeska
lous to lend him money with which to
buy another bottle. The request being
refused, a quarrel ensued.
Seymour, according to the statement
said he would buy the whisky and
started down town for it. The con
demned men say the quarrel was con
tlnued by the two men and finally
Dedeskalous struck Frlcas. Fricas, it
Is alleged, stabbed the other man with
the knife that had been used in cut
ting the watermelon. They 'grappled
and fell and Fricas began belaboring
Dedeskalous, who was on the bottom
with a rock or rod of iron. When Sey
mour returned, the statement says,
Fricas was trying to lift his victim,
Seymour felt the man's pulse and sild
he was dead. It was then agreed that
nothing should be said of the crime
and if any of them did say anything of
it the others should testify against
him.
It is charged that Frlcas slipped
Dedeskalous' watch in Spanos' pocket
which was considered a strong bit ol
evidence at the trial. It also is al
leged that' Frlcas asked Spanos to cash
check for $33 which had been taken
from the corpse.
