EASE IS LARGE
Oregon's Fruit Packing Indus
try Growing Rapidly.
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

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.

SCHOOL FAIR IfJ YAMHILL
EXECUTIVE BOARD ORGANIZED
AT M'MIXXVILLE.
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. - '
