ATIOX MEANS BANKRUPTCY.
Sledford Skippers Iritd to Co-operate
to Put BulncM O" Sob(n
tial Baslg.
MEDFORD, Or.. Mar. 20. (Special.)
That bankruptcy faces the Northwest
ern orchardist unless he organizes and
eliminates indiscriminate selling was
the mesage brought Rogue River Valley
fruitgrowers last night by H. F. David
son. of Hood River, president of the
North Pacific Fruit Distributors and re
cently elected president of the Shippers
Council.
Mr. Davidson addressed a mass meet
ing at the Public Library and said the
cause of demoralization of fruit prices
was primarily disorganization on the
part of the growers met by organiza
tion on the part of the commission men
and brokers.
"There are 45 different shippers in
Medford," said he; there are 85 in North
Yakima when there should be only two
or three while the Ideal condition
would be one. If you growers don't
like the bylaws of your local organiza
tion change them, if you don't like your
manager kick him out, if you don't like
your organization abandon it and cre-
ate a new one. But whatever you ao
stop this competition among yourselves
and get together so that we may con
trol our fruit crop and put the fruit
business upon a sane and substantial
basis."

AMATEUR SJJRGEON FAILS
Treatment Tried to Relieve Boil Re
quires Physician's Services.
PENDLETON, Or., March 20. (Spe
cial.) Harold Cress well, aged 14 years.
Is nursing a seriously burned neck as
a result of an amateur attempt at an
unusual surgical operation. Young
Creaswell has been suffering for some
time from the effects of a bad boil on
the back of his neck. -Acting on the
advice of some student friends and with
their aid he poured some alcohol into
a common water glass. j-he alcohol
was lighted and the glass Inverted over
the boll.
The theory was that the alcohol
would exhaust the oxygen in the glass,
thus creating a vacuum which would
draw the core from the boil. The cor
rectness of this is yet to be demon
strated, for in this particular instance
the execution was bad. Some of the
burning alcohol was permitted to es
cape from the glass. When the lire was
extinguished the boy was rushed to the
office of a physician; where it was found
the entire back of his neck was badly
burned.
Young Cresswell says the boil is not
so painful now, but he would prefer the
boil to the remedy.

3 II GANG SENTENCED
FOUR-TIME OFFENDER GETS SEVEN
YEARS FOR COUNTERFEITING.
Convicted Accomplice Drawa Six
Years While vhe Knew of Work
Will Serve 10 Days.
Gay, or Zebulem, Harsliman, four
time loser, having spent 21 of his 55
years in prison, received a sentence of
seven years in McNeill's Island peni
tentiary in Federal court yesterday.
Judge Rudkin took occasion in sen
tencing Harshman to tell him that
while the theory of punishment is ref
ormative -rather than punitive, it" ap
peared from Harshman's record that
further opportunity for reform would
be wasted upon him and he had no
compunotions in giving him a stiff sen
tence. Harshman has been convicted three
times for counterfeiting and once for
attempted train robbery. He served
sentences of 10 months and eight years
respectively for the former offenses at
McNeill's Island and 12 years at the
Salem penitentiary for the attempt to
hold up an O. R. & N. train at Trout
dale some years ago together with Bill
Minor and Charley Hoen. Harshman
received a bullet in his head at that
time and was left by his companions
and caught.
J. S. Stevens, a confederate of Harsh
man in his counterfeiting attempt, the
evidence showing that he helped him
in making his equipment for turning
out bogus money, recently was con
victed before Judge Rudkin on a
charge of aiding counterfeiting opera
tions and was sentenced yesterday to
serve six years -on McNeill's Island.
Stevens formerly served six years at
Salem upon conviction of having stolen
cattle in Klamath county. He also
is understood to have been involved in
bootlegging cases.
Robert Baker was a third member of
the gang sentenced yesterday in the
same court- He , having been in the
county jail for 30 days. Judge Rudkin
let him off with a ten days' sentence,
the charge being that of having failed
and refused to give information to the
Government officers, although he had
knowledge of counterfeiting operations
by the other two. The jury recom
mended leniency In his case.
All three men were arrested in
Marshfield a month ago by Special
Agent Glover. They had, it was shown
at the trials of the two and admitted
by Harshman in his plea of guilty, a
plant established in a cabin in the
Coos Bay country for the manufacture
of money and had Issued some before
they were caught by the Government
authorities.
