CAPTIVE BRUIN IS HUNTED
Animal Is Released. Lodge Holds

and Game Rilled After
Successive Volleys.
BISMARCK. N. t) Nov. 27. (Spe
cial.) The Malteee Cross ranch, near
Medori, X. D.. until recently the prop
erty, and locale of much of the early
Western life of ex-President Theodore
Roosevelt, celebrated Its transfer of
ownership by one or the most gigantic
nature fakPS connected with anything
Rooseveltian.
A herd of Elks killed a bip. blark bar
within a few hundred yards of the site
upon which the ex-President first erected
his cabin when he came to Medora in th
early eighties to o into the cattle-raisinp
business.
The event had many eye-witnesses, be
sides the Elks themselves, there beinr the
foreman. John Casper, and four cowboys
present at the slaughter, -while the towns
people of Medora saxr the Elks bring
their trophy into town.
Captive Bear Released.
The bear hunt was planned by the
Klks. and they wheeled into Medora pre
pared and singing the war cry of Dickin
son Lodge. No 1137. To add a savor o
romance and thrill of the chase to the
event the bear, caught in the Roughs
south of Medora. was turned loose in the
afternoon at 4 o'clock.
, The Elks feasted and congregated that
.night, arose very early at 9 oclock the
next morning and followed the trail,
which, when picked up. led directly to
the Roosevelt ranch, papers in transfer
for which ground, before pre-empted of
nature fakes, bad been filed in Medora
two days before.
Ballets Riddle Brain.
Bruin was followed along the banks
of the t.ittle Missouri River to the top
of a hill upon which the famous cabin
, once rested, and there was shot by suc
cessive -volleys from th huntsmen.
I The Mcklnson Elks will -devour the
bear at their first anniversary celebra
tion, December 10.
The pelt will be sent to Colonel Roosevelt.

Methods That Have Made Hood
River Successful Can Bo Fol
lowed by Others Inspectors
Alone jVot Enough.
At the third meeting of the T. M. C. A.
Apple Culture Club last night at the T.
M. C. A., II. M. Williamson, secretary
of the State Board of Horticulture, in
his address on the growth of the apple
raising Industry In Oregon and its con
dition in different parts of the state
spoke of tho great need of creating
among Willamette Valley people senti
ment in favor of cutting out old and
diseased fruit trees, both in the city and
country, and of bettering conditions gen
erally in regard to fruit raising. The as
sembly room was filled to overflowing.
Mr. Williamson told of the impression
made upon -the minds of visitors from
the Eastern States who come here look
ing for the orchards that raise the ap
ples they have heard so much about and
find only old and decaying trees. "Thou
sands of persons are turned away from
the state." said Mr. Williamson, "be
cause they, do not find in the Willamette
Valley what they are looking for in the
way of orchards. We must cleanse our
orchards and the only way to do it is to
create favorable sentiment among the
people. Inspectors can never accomplish
the work alone."
History of Industry Reviewed,
The soeaker gave a brief history of
the apple industry in Oregon and told of
existing conditions in different parts of
the stste. He said in part:
"Apples were first grown on the Coast
by missionaries and homeseekens, who
brought seeds across the plains. Hen
derson. a man living in Iowa, was the
first to foresee a great industry in fruit
growing in this stats. He brought graft
ed trees of several varieties across the
plains in 1847 and planted them near Mil
waukie. "In 1S50 he sold his first box of stand
ard varieties in Portland at a dollar per
apple, and three or four year later he
sold 80 boxes in San Francisco at $1 a
pound. Within 10 years from this time
there were enough apples grown in Ore
gon to furnish every person on the Pa
cific Coast with 50 bushels every yeaf. -"There
was no outlet for these large
quantities of fruit and the result was
the orchards were neglected and used for
pastures and meadows. The railroads
furnished an outlet after a few years,
but the apples had decreased in quantity
and quality through neglect, and for the
last 20 years apple crops throughout the
Valley have amounted to little.
"There were as many apples grown in
tho Valley 15 years ago as there are to
day, and the crop since 1SS5 has faTlen off
one-half. Previous neglect and the fact
that railroads have brought pests have
served to injure the crops. The only
good crops of today come from orchards
s?t out within the last 20 years and re
ceiving good care.
"Come persons who think good apples
cannot be raised in the Willamette Valley
forget about the fine fruit -that was
raised 50 years ago.
Interest Recently Revived.
"The apple Industry was revived a few
years ago by the efforts of Dr. J. R.
Cardwell. Professor Lake, of Corvallis.
and a few others. The State Horticultural
Society was organised and it secured the
enactment of laws which made possible
the revival of the fruitgrowing industry.
It was a hard struggle.
"The people had to be educated and it
was a hard Job. Fifteen years ago not
more than five persons would have at
tended a meeting like this tonight. In
terest was finally revived about four
years ago and now the work of restora
tion is taking great strides.
"The apple-growing industry in the
Rogue River Valley was started by J.
H. Stuart. In the Hood River a small
number of men of little means, headed
by E. L. Smith, by using correct methods
built up the most successful apple-raising
industry in the country, and organized the
Applegrowers' Union. Hood River has
shown the way and ther districts In the
state are following. The Hood River crop
has established the Oregon apple as the
standard of excellence throughout the
world today.
"We can raise good apples in any part
of Oregon wlfh the right depth of soil
and by using correct methods. In the
Willamette Valley, however, there are
peculiar conditions to overcome. The old
neglected orchards and trees must all be
cut down and now trees planted. The old
trees cannot be revived properly by
spraying.
"Any number of inspectors cannot
cleanse the country and the cities and
villages of the old and diseased trees.
We must have favorable public senti
ment. In Portland there are 40,000 pieces
of property bearing fruit and 400 inspec
tors could not properly look after them."

Bill Prohibits Manufacture, Sale or
Keeping for Sale Alcoholic or
Malt Beverages, and Bitter
Campaign. Has Been Waged.
MONTGOMERY:. Ala., Nov. S7. Vot
ers of Alabama will decide Monday
whether they will make prohibition
and sale or manufacture of Intoxicat
ing liquors a part of the organic law
of the state.
The question of whether the state
constitution Is to be thus amended was
submitted at a special session of the
State Legislature called by Governor
Comer last August. That session was
one of the most bitter in the history
of the commonwealth, and the cam
paign which followed and which closed
tonight was no more peaceful.
An amendment which would forever
bar liquor from the state U the crown
ing feature of the most drastic anti
liquor legislation ever introduced in
any state.
The biil prohibits the manufacture,
sale and keeping for sale of alcoholic
and malt HquorB and other intoxicat
ing liquors and beverages, with the ex
ception that alcohol may be sold for
medical, scientific and mechanical pur
poses and wine for sacrament purposes
under such regulations as the Legisla
ture may prescribe.
Another provision would give to the
Legislature the power to prohibit
citizens from keeping liquor in their
homes. This is put forth to meet the
recent Supreme Court ruling that
liquor is a commodity which can be
possessed and stored where and in
what quantities its owner may see fit,
so long as he does not offer it for sale.
The fight during the campaign Just
closed has been marked by more bit
terness than has attended any other
political issue in years. Both United
States Senators and five Congressmen
are opposing the amendment. Gov
ernor Comer, Lieutenant - Governor i

V
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27. President
Gompers and Secretary Morrison saw
the President today for the first time
since they were sentenced for contempt.
Their call had nothing to do with the
criminal proceedings, but was for the
purpose of presenting to the President
A. H. Gill and J. B, Clines, two labor
members of the British House of Par
liament, who were fraternal delegates
to the recent convention of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor at Toronto,
and James O'Connell, vice-president of
the American Federation of Labor.
With Mr. Gompers also were San
tiago Iglesias and Abraham Penna,
Porto Rican delegates to the American
Federation.
It was arranged that the labor lead
ers should be received by the President
Monday morning, when they will urge
that in the amendment of the anti
trust law there shall be a provision
exempting labor unions from classifica
tion as trusts.
Tho President believes that labor un
ions in times of strikes can be amply
dealt with by means of the injunction.
