FOSTERED BY RAILROAD . A. Malbocuf. Southern Pacific's lltrkt IVolght Assent, Gives In tereMinj; Mutinies Concerning the RcmiUs Accomplished. 1 Phenomenal Interest in the fruKpacking Industry throuRhout the State 06 Oreson Was made during 1!M7. Vtuicr the direct pncourajrtiinnt of the Southern Pacific tympany, the number of canneries has increased and the aireago ftiven over to VruttstrowinK to supply the canneries hits , Increased accordingly. This has been due largely to the efforts of C. A. Mulboeuf, ilifstrict freight agent for the Southern 3aciric lines in Oregon. It is Mr. .Malbo-uf s plan to foster the canning of email fruits In this state until thie tihall become a very great industry. All conditions, he says, are favorable to the tmcvwKH of this plan. Meetin&s of fruitgrowers liavo ben held under Mr. .Mjtlboeuf's direction, throughout the Wil lamette Valley and a great impvUis has been given to make Oregon a great fruit canning state. The movement has had the endorsement of the newspapers and the active assistance of commercial or ganizations throughout the valley. The interest of all sections in fruit canning is shown, not only by the com mercial bodies, but by practical fruit growers and the increase in the acreage of fruit and vegetables, grown only for canning purposes, is remarkable. In 190$ there were only four fruitcanneries in the Willamette Valley. The annual capacity of these plants was S5.V cases of fruit- In 1907, as the result of de velopment work done by the Souther.i Paclllc. three additional canneries were put up, making a total capacity of 75,v00 cases. In lOS there will be built, or under con struction, three additional canneries, mak ing a total of ten big fruit packing plants In the Willamette Valley, with a mini mum capacity of I00.O0O cases. Two of the ciinnerk-s built last year have done eo well that tlicy will double their capac ity in order to take care of the coming mason's crop. Canneries are now in op eration, during the fruit season, at A?h- C.tnd,- Grants Pais. Eugene, Salem. Yon raila. New canneries have been built or are being built at Medlord. Monmouth and Newb-rg. Cannery companies have t:en cstubl'.shed and will build plants In time to care for the season's crop at Corvallls, Dallas. Woodburn and Monroe. In all probability Roseburg and West Scio. too, will build and equip canneries this year. In the vicinity of Salem hundreds of acres have been set out in cherries, ber ries and other email fruits. Fruit tracts are in greater demand than ever before. Lane County is going to make a specialty of growing cherries, and hundreds pt acres are being set out in the vicinity of Eugene. Several hundred acres of to matoes will be planted in the vicinity of Grants Pass and In the Umpqua Vatley, which is one of the best tomato-growing sections of the state. The tomato acre age will be greater than ever this year, provided a cannery Is established at Roseburg. The total number of cars of canned! fruits shipped from Oregon in any one sea son has never been over 100. Under ordi nary crop conditions, shipments will easily reach 2o0 cars this year, says Mr. Mal boeuf. and the number will increase from year to year as the value of the industry is demonstrated and the increased fruit acreage . conies into bearing. Mr. Mal boeuf believes the state will 'be sending away 1000 cars within the next -ve years. Special rates have been made by me Southern Pacific Company on canned goods and on tin and all cannery supplies and all possible encouragement is being given the industry with a view to foster ing and developing it to the fullest , ex tent. JAPANESE REPULSE YAQUIS Kroployes on Mexican Kanch At tacked by Indians. NOGALES. Ariz., Feb. 29. News just received from Guaymaa, the terminus of the Sonora Railroad. sU'es further details of the Yaqui descent on the ranch of Luis A. Martinez, a prominent banker and merchant, near there Wed nesday night. The ranch la worked by Japanese, who made a determined re sistance and finally drove the Taquis away. The latter "are estimated at 50 in number. Two Japanese were killed and six wounded. It is not known. If any Taquis were killed, as they always carry their dead and wounded away. One Japanese escaped to a neighboring ranch and telephoned to Guaymas for assistance. Within two hours Colonel Aduana and a body of troops started in pursuit. There is yet no word from the troops. The entire country in that part of the state la terrorized. The Taquis are more vindictive than usual on account of the Mexican government having; lately deported 1200 men, women and children to Yucatan. "More trouble is feared.

FIND BOISE Mi DEALER B. M. WRIGHT IXDER ARREST AT EL PASO, TEX. Alleged to Have Defrauded Idaho Farmers Ont of Large Sums of Money Officers After Him. BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 29. Special.) Word was received here thl3 afternoon that R. M. Wright, the defaulting bay dealer, who left here just a week asro. was captured this morning at El Paso, Texas. 'Wright, the message states, refuses to return to Idaho without requisition papers, and Deputy Sheriff Bud Driscoll immediately armed himself with the proper papers and left for that place tonight. Wright, who had lived a number of years In Boise, where he had been en gaged as a ticket broker, later going into- the grain, hay and produce busi ness, is charged with fraudulently get ting hay from a large number of farm ers and ranchers through this section of the state and selling the hay for a less price even than he paid for it, for the purpose of changing it into ready money, after which Ae skipped out. Meridian people were hit hard by him, but those people, by rushing to Portland, where the stuff had been shipped, managed to get part of their money by attaching the hay and by attaching money due Wright from the dealers to whom he had sold. The total amount that he is alleged to have de frauded ranches in this way runs up into the thousands of dollars, having been ..estimated at between 5O,O0O and 75,000. He had kept some money in banks here and had paid a part of his bills, thus establishing confidence, but. it Is charged, Just before leaving he bought very largely at fancy prices which he had promised to pay and then sold at less figure than he had purchased at. After making two attachments on hay that had been sold to a wholesale dealer in Portland, and also securing several carloads of hay that had not been delivered to buyers, Frank Taylor, one of the victims of the alleged swin dler, returned yesterday from Portland. Mr. Taylor had a contract to supply Sampson, the Portland dealer, with 500 tons of hay a month, and says that he had shipped 900 tons in 28 days. Tay lor expects to recover ?700. While in Portland Taylor, acting on behalf of farmers in Boise -Valley, served an attachment on money that Sampson owes Wright- He sold much of his produce to G. D. Sampson, of Portland. Irrigation to Counteract Frost. NORTH YAKIMA, Wash.. Feb. 29. (Special.) Orchordlsts in this valley be lieve they have found a cheaper and more generally effective means of defeating the disastrous work of late frosts than the tar-pot in use so extensively in California. They will turn on the irrigation water during the cold nights of March, when frost is threatened, and thus prevent, they believe, the damage from that capricious source. ' - Municipal Court Receipts. The receipts of the Municipal Court for the month of February In fines, costs, and forfeitures of bail, amounted to 12979.50. The months of January and February show a profit to the city of $5165. over all expenses. This is a noticeable increase. BIGHT FEET HIGH SCKNIC PHOTOS. See them at Riser's. 248 Alder st.

Exhibits or Pupils' Handiwork Will Be Made in the Fall Much Interest Manifest. M'MINNVILLE, Or., Feb. 29. (Spe cial.) Upon the call of School Super intendent Belt a large delegation of school officers and teachers met here today and organized the Yamhill School Fair Executive Board, which will con sist of permanent officers and one delegate from each of the 91 school districts in the county. J. B. Dodson, of Dayton, was chosen president; Bur nett Y. Roe, of Gaston, vice-president, and H. F. Wilson, of McMinnville, sec retary. There alb 5634 children of school age in the county, and it is hoped to Wave the majority of them make exhibits in cooking, sewing or other handicraft, or in agriculture, at the fair to be held here during the coming Fall, which. Judging from the interest manifested thus early, will surpass In magnitude any school fair previously held. For the past. 'two years the people of McMinnville have given the greater number of the prizes, and last year - expended more than $1100 for the school fair. The business men of this city expect to do -equally as much for the fair this year, and in addition to this every school district will be expected to give prizes to its own pupils for competitive exhibits, of which there will be two classes, name ly, those made by pupils under and those' over 12 years of age. ARMY RIFLE RANGE NEEDED Unless Portland Provides One Van couver Post May Be Removed. That the barracks at Vancouver will eventually be removed from that point unless a suitable target range is provided in the neighborhood of Portland, was the opinion expressed by members of a Joint committee consisting of officers of the state militia and members of the Com mercial Club at a meeting held last night Reference was made to the fact that it Is weir known that Seattle Is making every effort to secure the removal of the headquarters of this department to that city and that Tacoma is also desirous of having a military post located in that vicinity. These facts made It imperative that action in the matter of a rifle range be taken immediately. The delegation from the National Guard reported that it has secured an option on a tract of land about six miles from Port land, which is eminently suited for a rifle range. It was desired that the matter be brought to the attention of the other commercial bodies of the city iii order to acquire the tract. After considerable discussion it was decided to lay the matter before the board of governors of the Commercial Club, with the suggestion that they confer with the trustees of the other commerical organizations regarding the purchase of the tract In question. Those present at the meeting were: Colonel James Jack son, and A. J. Capron representing the Commercial Club, and Adjutant-General W. B. Finzer, Major F. S. Baker. Captain R. O. Scott,. Captain L. A. Bowman, Lieutenant Richard Deich of the Oregon National Guard. - ' AUTOMOBILES .- At bargains, new and secoltd-hand. B. H. Wmme. Front and Burnside streets.
