State Calls 18 Young Girls to
Impeach Testimony in
Student's Favor.
STORIES OF ALL AGREE
Only Tears Miss Lambert Shed. Say
Witnesses, Were Caused by Dis
appointment That Chum Did
Not Stay Overnight.
VAUKEGAN, 111, June 17. The state
today brought 18 18-year-old girls to
court to Impeach the testimony of
Josephine Davis in the trial of Will H.
Orpet for the alleged murder of Marion
Lambert. The girls had attended
Marlon's 18th birthday party February
8. three days before her death.
Miss Minnie Rumsey, Marion's Sun
day school teacher, testified she had
seen Marion practically every Sunday
for three months and once a month at
social gatherings at the church.
"Marion was i:nusually gay and
happy at times." said Miss Rumsey.
"She always was the life of the
party."
Frances Bishop testified that at the
birthday party she saw tears in the
eyes both of Anna Paulson and Marion
because Anna could not stay all night.
Tears Single Exception.
"I never saw Marion when she wasn't
happy, except at that moment," said
Miss Bishop.
Mary Marshall, the next witness, tes
tified that Marion had been her ' best
friend.
"Did you know that she had a secret
love affair?" asked Mr. Potter.
"I knew she received letters from
Will Orpet, but she didn't make a se
cret of it."
In the Fall of 1915 Marion told wit
ness she didn't care to see Orpet any
more and that her parents objected to
him. The latter part of January. 1916,
however, she said she expected to see
him and to ask him about his reported
engagement to Miss Youker.
i'nhapplnpM Again Explained.
Anna Paulson was the next witness.
"lid you see tears in the eyes of
anybody at the party?" asked Mr. Dad)'.
"Yes, in Marion's and in my own. She
said that she had taken it for granted
that I would stay with her that night."
Miss Paulson said she and Marion
did not exchange confidences in the
last three months of her life. '
Bernice Wells, testified that Marion
seemed happy at the party. She did
not see her cry, as Miss Davis had
testified, nor had she seen Marion and
Miss Davis alone at any time during
the party.
On cross-examination Attorney Ralph
K. Potter asked: "Did Marion always
appear gayer than others, as if she
were trying to hide her troubles be
hind a mask of gaiety?"
"I wouldn't say that she Just seemed
happy."
A demure miss in unadorned blue
'came next. She smiled innocently at
Mr. Pady when asked her name and
responded in an unafraid voice:
"Florence Russell."

CONDITIONS FAVOR FIRES
Forests Dry Out and Special Pre
cautions Are Taken.
SALEM, Or., June 17. (Special.)
Forestevi areas of Oregon are drier now
and more subject to disastrous fires
than they were last July. State For
ester Elliott said today. The dry sea
son this year, Mr. Elliott said, is about
a month earlier than last, and since the
recent warm wave has come fairly con
stant north -winds have served to" dry
out the forests with rapidity.
To prevent the spread of fires, Mr,
Klliott announced today that he had
already placed 25 district fire wardens
on duty, and that these men were su
pervisingr about 260 patrolmen, whose
salaries are paid by the timber associa

June 14 the unanimous vote creating

The creation of this district on Wil

of any kind under climatic conditions
which have carried destruction to the
greater portion of Eastern Oregon and

land the Eastern Oregon Land Company
has 3000 acres of unimproved land , in

district and this is the best land in the
valley.
It is hoped through the agency of
the district organization that this com

when it is realized that there is plenty

The construction of the dam pro
posed by the community district will
call for not more than $20 per acre and
perhaps less. The construction of the
armsprings dam and complete dis

than $750,000 and the two will add 30,
000 acres of new land to the cultivated
area, completing the water Tight on
15,000 acres now producing fair crops.
The average for both old and new
land under the Warmsprings project
will .not exceed $23 per acre, of which
the new land will bear two-thirds. We
will need some assistance from Port

as to irrigation.
There are two drainage districts in
the process of organization the Nyssa-

production of 4000 acres, while preven

water tables will result for the remain,
ing 5000 acres.
That which will eventually add to
the wealth production of Malheur
County as well as other sections of
Eastern Oregon is development of the
nitrate and potassium fields of the
country.
The American Nitrate Company, of
South Dakojta, has completed its pay

producing lands and has 30 men at
work on its property on Succor Creek,

The manager, according to the

cated With. Ceremony.
ASHLAND, Or., June 17. (Special.)
Preparations for the big Lithia "dedl
cation" to be held here July 4. 5 and 6.
are growing apace. Indications are
that Ashland's capacity for handling
record-breaking crowds will be taxed
to the limit. Local -committees are can
vassing homes systematically, provld
ing arrangements for rooms and
meals.
More than 1000 cots will be pur
chased, these to be sold outright or
rented at a nominal sum. A grand
stand is being erected to seat 10,000.
The park areas will be converted into
a tenting ground of large proportions.
Lithia Park presents a scene of un
rivaled beauty, and from a material
point of view Is equipped with all the
requisites for entertaining the celebra
tion visitors. From the scenic stand
point, both natural and artificial, it
has reached the apex of perfection.
The Round-up will be a major attrac
tion, and experts from Pendleton are
on the ground coaching participants In
the reproduction of that city's big an
nual attraction.
Bands, in addition to the Ashland or
ganization, will be present from Med
ford. Grants Pass, Central Point and
other towns.
The three parades incorporate Queen
Lithia's triumph, an industrial feature,
the flower pageant of bedecked auto
mobiles, and King Sulphur and children,
a caravan of comicality. Spectacular
displays of fireworks will be in the
hands of experts who managed this
specialty at the San Francisco Expo
sition. Balloting is under way for Queen
Lithia and King Sulphur, nominations
having closed June 15. For queen. Miss
Mary Weisenburger leads among 10
contestants, and Charley Beeler threat
ens to usurp the king's crown, . al
though 12 others are clamoring for it.
A prerequisite in the choice of sov
ereigns is that the king must excel
in plain looks by the rule of opposites
to an extent measured only by the
beauty of his consort.
