Wash, Nov. 1. (Special) That commission men are discourag ing tho fruit Industry In the Touchet Valley and neighboring fruit districts, was the assertion today of E. M. Har ris, a nursery stock dealer. This at tempt of the apple buyers to discourage the planting of orchards Is attributed to a belief that the present movement will result In over-production within a few years. Many Intending orchard Ists have given up planting orchards in the Spring, because of the predic tions of commission merchants. East and West. -A large number of orders have been recently canceled bare.- said Mr. Har ris. "I refer particularly to one pro posed orchard of 10 acres near Walts burg. Promoters of this enterprise have been discouraged by the cry of over-production and will not set out the large tract. Nevertheless, scores of men at Dayton. Waltaburg. Huntavilla and other points In the valley are plac ing large orders for Spring deliveries. It Is estimated that 100.000 trees, rep resenting the planting of 1000 acres, will be set out here In the Spring. THIEF'S PLAN IS FOILED Burglar Alarm and Dog Put Man In .Med ford Dwelling to flight.

Shortly after 10 o'clock a man opened tho door at the rear of the house, using a skeleton key, walked through two rooms and opened a side door, evidently for the purpose of making another means of exit. He then turned on an electric li-t switch. The switch proved to be the one ahh-h eperates a burglar alarm, and Imme diately on his turning the button the whole house was flooded with light. The house dog. sleeping at the top of tha stairs, was awakened and. after a t-w angry barks, rushed downstairs and leaped on tha tmrglar who. by this time, waa running from the house.

There Is much peculation In Bandon whether the town will be wet or dry under the home-rule amendment. Coos County voted dry at the recent election by a majority of 27, consequently, under ordinary conditions, the town would necessarily be dry. but the liquor men feel that they still have a chance at a sjieclal election under home rule. There are two precincts In Bandon; one voted dry by a majority of 14; the other, the west precinct, going wet by a majority of 6. making a wet majority of 3- in the city. The dry peo ple claim, however, that about 100 Illegal votes were cast In the west precinct, and that they were all wet votes. If this be true, the town would go dry on a straight election. Farmers who live adjacent to the town declare they will get out an Injunction against the home rule if Bandon should go wet under it. Pittsburg's Sunshine I.lttle. riTTSBURO, Pa., Nov. 19.

It happens that the :'0 now In line have no conflicts, as Cruiser Brlschoux, of this city, had mail.- arrangements with the entrymen to that effect.

In such Instances the one who reaches the land office first after leav ing the land midnight Sunday, will be recognised. Police officials are on the alert to prevent disturbances tonight when tha delayed train brings Its outwitted dele gation from John Day. There are two cruisers In charge of the party. MEASURES COST $52,000 INITIATIVE VOTE IS HEAVY DKAIX OX TAXPAYERS. Average Cost of Each Bill Passed la ,7428 Printing, Counting and Ballots Swell Expense. SAL KM, Or.. Nov. 19. (Special.) It la estimated that each of the measures passed at tha last general election will cost the people of Oregon nearly fSOOO. This Is basing the estimate on seven measures, that bejng the number successful so far as can now be deter mined from the returns which have been receiver! at the office of the Sec retary of State. Some of these are doubtful and it Is barely possible that an eighth measure has passed. Using seven measures as a basis, however, tha actual estimated cost for tha Dassage of each measure Is $7428. Salaries for Representatives and Sen ators for a term of the Legislature amount to $10,800. For printing and circulating the in itiative and referendum pamplets, there was an expense of approximately $20,000. Extra counting, caused by the Initiative measures, will cost the neonle of the various counties approxi mately $25,000 and printing of the bal lots cost approximately $7000. This makes a total of $62,000 as estimated expense and If anything the estimate is conservative, as there are numerous miscellaneous items which' will swell the total. Tha actual cost for printing tha in itiative and referendum pamphlet was $s9S1.9C. according to a statement Just filed by L. R. Stlnson, State Printing Kxpert. In addition to this is the cost of paper, postage, clerk hire and num erous other expenses, bringing the es timated total conservatively to $20,000.
