Wllsey estate for which he has never made any account ing. Complaint was made by Mrs. Henri etta "Wllsey. the divorced wire or aeceaent. The -warrant was placed In the hands of the Sheriff for service, aria Deputy Stew, ard at once started for" Asotin County, where Glllson resides. The affairs of the Wllsey estate have token up the attention of the courts and public Quite frequently during the past two years, and the money of the estate has been mostly handed over to the law yers. Wllsey, who was a physician, died In this county in 1S92, leaving considerable property. Glllson, who was appointed ad ministrator, after disposing of most of the property of the estate, became bankrupt and left the county. In 1B37 "Walter Ruble, at that time Deputy "County Clerk, ar ranged with Mrs. Wllsey, then living in Pennsylvania, to force Glllson to make restitution to the estate of money he had collected. Ruble to receive for his trouble one-fourth of the sum recovered. Ruble Induced Glllson to turn over to the court in all JSOO. and Judge McDonald then signed on order that this money should be turned over to Mrs. Wllsey as an allow ance for the maintenance of a minor child of decedent's. Soon after this was done Ruble and McDonald fell out. and Rubla was cited to 'appear before the court and show cause why he should not be punished for practicing law while an officer of the court. Mrs. Wllsey was Induced to turn the money she had received back Into court." By this time three firms of law yers had become interested In the case, and court orders divided most of this money between them. Glllson, who Is now to be arrested, and perhaps punished. Is over SO years of age. Will Trr to Fane.

Woman Savr Them Drifting, but Forgot to Give Alarm. ASTORIA, Or.. April 2L-On tho after soon or early evening, when the two boys Hugo Llndstrom and Warren Robinson were drowned, a woman living near where the accident occurred saw two boys cling ing to an overturned boat, drifting down the river. Her first thought was that it might be her own boys, and without giving any alarm she ran to her own home to see if they were there, and there found them. This was such a relief that she forgot to mention what. she had seen until last evening, when the announcement was made that the body of Warren Robin son had been recovered. If she had Im mediately told what she had teen, the lives of the boys would undoubtedly have been saved. It Is evident that the boys drifted past the city on the overturned boat until they became chilled and were forced to release their hold. The body of young Robinson will be taken on Monday to South Bend, where It will be burled beside the grave of his mother. Fish Commissioner Reed has mailed the following letter to all the cannerymen and cold-storage people on the river: "It if my desire to ascertain as near as possible the number of marked salmon taken this season, with the weight of each, and as an Inducement to all fish-cleaners to save them, I will pay 10 cents each for the piece of skin from which the adipose fin has been removed, and the wound healed up. with the weight of the flsb at tached. They can easily be dried and cent to me by mall or otherwise. Please notify your flsh-cleaners of this offer." So far there is knowledge of but one of these fish having been caught this season, and' that was delivered to the Pillar Rock cannery a few days ago. ?

Mills Probably Won't Shnt Down nnd Prices Will De Cut. SEATTLE, April 21. The gravest crWfl that has ever confronted the shingle man ufacturers of this state Is facing them now. There Is a strong probability that enough of the mills will not carry out the request of their association to dote down for the two weeks beginning April 2S to make It effective, and, if this ma terializes, several of the largest mills say they will withdraw from the association, cut prices and fight their battles alone. The remit will be, officials of the associa tion say, that many of the small mills will be forced out of business, and the wages of all employes be reduced 23 per cent, besld.es tho general demoralization of shingle affairs. Telegrams received from Eastern authorities say that price cutting has already commenced. You n sr Hanford to Be a Cadet.

Overproduction to Be Guarded Against by Teorlna; Down the Vines Before Picking; Time. SALEM. Or.. April 2L W. H. Egan, of Brooks, one of the best-known hopgrow ers of Marlon County, and one of tho most experienced In matters connected with the hop Industry, has this to say in answer to a request for his opinion as to the plan hat must be followed in order to make a success of the Industry In Oregon: "Past experience has taught us that con. tracts have not, in most Instances, boon satisfactory to the growers. They have been at starvation rates, or If at good figures, the hops are too often rejected. This does not relieve the pressure on our surplus hops over contracted yards, or those not contracted, when an oversupply Is apparent. What we want Is to put our Industry upon a more solid basis, so the grower may feel that what hops he may put on the market will bring a. fair profit for labor and money expended. "This movement has already begun in the several hop-growing states, and Is cer tain to adjust the business lq a way1hat will secure us a reasonable compensation for our crops. If we do not bar its progress by entering Into contracts that will so bind us that we will be hampered from exercis ing our better Judgment when this new plan Is presented and understood by us. "This new plan Is simple and can easily be worked out through .the associations of the several states, thsy operating to gether In Joint committee. It is briefly this: That we growers sign a written obligation, one that is strong and bind ing, formulated by our associations, one that will compel Its observance as strictly as a note or similar obligation, not to harvest but lop off such per cent of our acreage of hops Just before picking time, that Is reported by our Joint committee from the several states, as a surplus for this year. "That this written obligation should be In full force and binding provided, say TS or SO per cent of the acreage is so obli gated, and that if such per cent is not so obligated, then this obligation Is not binding on any one who has signed It. "Under these conditions the grower who signs first is not bound until the last one required to reach the agreed per cent of signers has signed. "" - "Each district or territory may have an Inspector, who 'will be appointed by the association, to throw, down or cause to bo thrown down such per cent of hops as directed by the aforesaid Joint com. mlttee. "In most instances the growers will pre fer to throw down the hops themselves, each one being better informed In what parts of his yards the poorest grades of hops are growing. This will leave nothing for tho Inspector to do but count the acreage and report tho same. "This will raise our grade of hops, as the poorer grades will be unharvested. "After this is done, the grower may go forward with some degree of confidence to harvest his crop, pay his pickers and other help a fair compensation for labor, and expect to sell his crop for such price as will leave him a reasonable margin. Under these conditions confidence will be restored, and bankers will readily loan on easy terms. Buyers can make quick sales, therefore require but small profits, and the brewer will cheerfully pay a fair price, for he knows his neighbor con not get hops for a trifle and thereby under sell him. "Now what we should do la to have local hop meetings, send delegates e.o state conventions, set tho wheel to rolling, and wc will have no-need to tie ourselves up In a one-sided contract." Italian Prunes Not Destroyed. There are many reasons to believe that the Italian prune crop has not been In jured to the extent that Is Indicated by the first reports. The trees bore an unusu ally large lot of blooms this year, and when a large proportion of the blossoms failed to bring forth fruit, the grower concluded the crop had been ruined. That this Is true In some Instances cannot bo doubted, but that there will be no consid erable quantity of Italian prunes this year Is denied. On the low grounds north of Salem It Is said by reliable growers that only Petite prune trees will bear fruit. But many of the prune orchards tributary to Salem are on high ground, and were not affected to a serious degree.- Charles Long, director for Marlon Coun ty of the Pacific Northwest Cured Fruit Association, said today that he has closely examined his Italian prune orchard and finds that he has all the fruit on the trees he wants. A large per cent of tho small prunes dropped off, but there are enough left to make a good crop. Mr. Long says that It Is better to have trees bear only a half a crop than what Is usually termed a full crop, for by diminution In the num ber of prunes on a tree there will be an Increase In tho size. It Is well known that the larger sizes of prunes bring the best prices. While he has not examined other orchards. Mr. Long Is of the opinion that most of the trees will bear a fair crop. He says that the trees that were frozen last year are presenting a eooa appear ance and do not seem to have suffered a permanent Injury. HIa orchard was frczsn worse than most of those In his vicinity, but the trees are thriving well now. Reports from Rosedale, In the hills south of Salem, are to the effect that while a large majority of the prunes have fallen off the trees, there are enough left to make an average crop, and If all gees well the quality should bo exceptionally good.
