Tke Estate Has Been So Worked

Hare Taken Moat of It.
In
COLFAX, Wash., April a. A warrant
for the arrest of Harvey Glllson was issued
today on a charge of larceny by embezzle
ment In having collected funds as admin
istrator of the J. T. Wllsey estate for

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.

MIGHT HAVE SAVED THE DOY8.
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.

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.

TO HELP HOPGROWERS
MARIOS COUNTY PBODUCER OUT
LINES ANOTHER PLAN.
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.
