This is dotted with the places of wealthy Easterners who have come to Sutherlln from many states. Twelve miles of boulevard gives commu nication with tlie town of Sutherlln. Sutlierlin Baby Town. Hutherlin is one of the baby towns of Oiegnn. less than a year old. but already (i cultured people are building a con-stt-nial colony where the luxury of coun try home and orchard profits are com l.lned. The average plot is 10 acres and a bungalow style of architecture pre vails. Forty miles of woven wire fenc ing protects the 30.000 trees already set out. and many more miles of such fenc ing will shortly be necessary to inclose tlie n5.x additional trees to be planted. Spitzcnburg and Newton apples comprise W per cent of the orchards, the rest be ing pears. The town of Sutherin is inviting in Its modern appearance, with good streets, cement sidewalks, efectric street and resi lience lights, and one of the most up-to-. date hotels In Southern Oregon.

Tim whole of the Sutherlin Valley is nearly fiat, encircled by sharp slopes which lead to steep hills that shelter and protect Th Sutherlln Valley has been locally known for many years as Camas Swall.

"What Su perior Judge Mitchell Gilliam and the Prosecuting Attorney's office believe to be a method of bringing Japanese women into the country in violation of the immigration laws was dis closed today in the trial of the divorce suit of Mrs. Tsune Kondo against Kisanu Kondo. The woman, testifying through an interpreter, said she was married by proxy in Japan and came to this country to Join her husband, who "had been working In Seattle. She arrived here November 1, 1908. and was claimed by Kondo. Another marriage ceremony was performed at that time. Mrs. Kond,o said her husband de serted her a month later. "I shall hold up this decree," said Judge Gilliam. "If this thing should go .on it, would open the floodgates to wholesale importation of Japanese women. It is an easy matter to bring women over here,, marry them . and then desert them In a month or a year the women get into the country and the desired object is attained." The picture-bride business has reached large . proportions. every steamer from Japan bringing many young women. These are claimed by Japanese men, and what becomes of the brides afterward is not known. NESMITH COUNTY OPPOSED Springfield Commercial Club to Start Active Campaign. SPRINGFIELD, Or., Feb. 5.

New Tuberculosis Cure Based on Medicine Did it ever occur to you that the reason medical doctors have so little success in curing Tuberculosis, is be cause they really do not raetlre nedi- To say that a specific exists for the cure of Consumption is perhaps too strong a statement, but in Ecknian's Alterative, we have a medicine that has been the means of saving many a life to ear of usefulness and in permanently curing a larcre number of Consumptive. Telilur every sufferer to gorge him self with, eggs and milk is apparently t he limit of modern treatment. Cer tainly a person afflicted with a wast ing disease should be well fed with wholesome nourishing food: but fre quently ro w epsrs in quant i ties, cause a digest, vp breakdown, and then no food nourishes. As for milk. vory good food for many ; but a producer of bilioiisness for some. Any diet that keeps a Consumptive n ell nourished is the rtKhi o:e, but ht In Kluir to cure the I'm tlvnt T -Kck man's Alterative has cured and is curing many a rase of Consumption. Let those speak who know. Here is a specimen : 90 Savannah St., Rochester. N. V. Jentle'-pon : On Jan. 3. lOT. I was operated upon for Tubercular Peri tonitis at St. Vary's Hospital. Roch ester. N.

AGREEMENT IS REACHED State Will Drop , Pending: Charges and Prisoner Gives Vp Contest to Cheat Justice Will Dis miss His Appeal.' OLYilPIA, 'Wash., Feb. 5. iSpecial.) Ortis Hamilton will go to the Peniten tiary next week to begin serving his sen tence of from one to ten years, on con viction of embezzlement of state funds. An agreement has been reached under which the state agrees to bring no fur ther prosecutions and on his part Ham ilton will dismiss his pending appeal to the State Supreme Court and begin serv ing sentence. Under the existing laws the courts are powerless to fix the term of imprison ment of any convict. Conviction simply means that the prisoner goes to the pen itentiary for not less than the minimum nor more than the maximum term pro vided by law as punishment for the crime of which he was convicted. Board and Warden Have Say. Just what time any convicted man must spend in the penitentiary rests solely with the superintendent of the institution and the three members of the State Board of Control. After the minimum term has been served by any convicts they hav me power to parole him, and then at all times the Governor has the power to pardon him. The prosecution takes the position that should it convict Hamilton on the pending charges of forgery and obtain ing money under false pretenses, the trials would cost tlie state thousands of dollars, and if conviction was'' had in each case under the Indeterminate sen tence law. in three or four years the Prison Board could turn Hamilton loose if it desired. By dropping further prose cutions, saving the expense of additional trials, Hamilton goes at once to tba pen itentiary. v For three years at least Governor Hay, as the head of the state government, can see that Hamilton stays confined in the penitentiary athard labor. If Hay is re elected and holds to his present position It will insure Hamilton confinement for at least seven years, in addition to the more than a year he has been held in the local county jail,' or, in the aggregate, more than a possible minimum punish ment he would receive If the state went to the great expense of a number of ad ditional trials. Prosecution on Slvaky Ground. It is an open secret that the prosecution is none too sure of its ground in the event of appeals. The custom that had grown up in the past state, administra tion of trusting officials with the hand ling of funds entirely . without their legal ngum. iihkbi successful prosecution for unlawful conversion of such funds at least uncertain under the present technical In terpretation given by the higher courts to criminal laws. Hamilton, on his tiart. is liantlifanno.1 by lack of funds to continue his defense and his attorneys have admitted that wmie technicalities may for a time have staved off imprisonment, such final re sult was inevitable. It is stated that the formal announce ment of abandonment of the appeal will be made Monday. One to ten years Is the statutory punishment for larceny by embezzlement, on which the ex-Adjutant-General was convicted some time ago in the local Superior Court. Ihe new term in gymnasium work at the Y. Vv. C. A. opens Monday. Feb. T. il'!'H'!l!lll!!!"lll'!Plil!"!l''ll!'!ii i! ii! liililBiiilJ 1 W i ! II ,.ii 8 1 1 1 ii HI it ii ! HiH ; 1 U 1 I I'M I i!

After a deadlock that held the greater part of the day, the State Board of Agriculture today elected B. F. Mere dith of this city as secretary of the board to succeed Frank Welch.
