AN OLD GRAFT
IN NEW FORM!
On Mondav. June 15. the honorable
Commissioners Court of Douglas county
convened for tho purpose of hearing the
argument put up by Dexter lliee, the
attorney for tho Oregon IJoom and Tinv
ber company, asking for a franchise for
thirty years to boom and float logs in
the .North Umpqua River in this county
The said boom and timber company
through its attorney intimated that it
would expend $150,000 in improving the
river and constructing a dam at Win
Chester. The improvements in the river
are to be made between the mouth of
Rock Creek and Winchester, a distance
of 25 or 30 miles. As a consideration
for such improvements the Boom com
pany asks for a lease of the river for 30
years with the privilege of charging the
timber owners a toll of 50c per thousand
for logs floated down the river when ini
proved.
The evils resulting from such a grant
are several, i lie part ol the river pro
posed to be improved does not require
much improvement. The North Ump
qua, from the mouth of Rock Creek to
Winchester, is a stream flowing a large
volume of water. The current is strong,
yet not swift enough during the greater
portion ot the year, to require an- con
siderable expense in driving logs.
in snort, tne portion ot the river
which tho Boom Co. proposes to im
prove does not require improvement for
driving logs and that portion of the river
and its tributaries which does require
improvement they don't propose to im
prove. Another matter to be consider
ed is the fact that the timber which the
company proposes to float and boom, is
not growing along or adjacent to the
portion of the river proposed to be im
proved, but is situated far above on the
tributaries of the river, such aa Cavitt
Creek, Little River and numerous other
tributaries. The improvement of these
tributaries would require the expend!
ture of some monev, rand that is.to be
avoided by the Oregon4 Boom and Tim
ber Co. The proposition is merely to
hold the key to the situation on the
lower river, where everv timberman on
the North Umpqua would be compelled
to pay a tribute to them of 50 cents per
thousands for driving his own logs down
tne common highway. snt that is a
mere trifle, 50 cents per M. for logs.
Let as figure a little. A conservative
estimate of the timber to be floated
down the North Umpqua is 8,000,000,000
feet of logs. The Boom Co. wants a
toll of 50 cents per M. for floating and
sorting, which only amounts to fl.OOO,
000. But they propose to put up a bond of
iSOOOas an evidence that thpy will pxncml
$150,000. That ia certainly good busi
ness. A bond of the enormous sum of
55000, as a guarantee of $150,000 tan?-
action, carrying a corresponding profit
to the. guarantor of $3,000,000. The
most remarkable feature of the whole
deal is, how our commissioners court
was ever induced to consider such a
proposition to say nothing of entertain
ing the proposition, at a called meeting
for they are a very cautious, wise and
sincere body of men who can be trusted
to look out for the interest of everybody
having business before the court. After
hearing all that could be brought in
favor of this gigantic scheme: this
monumental attempted steal of the prop
erty rights of individuals ; this attempted
direct graft of four millions to Imj taken
from the railroads and individuals
for the timber on their land,
and from every man who owns
a foot of timber tributary to the
North Umpqua River, the Commis
sioners began to get their eyes open to
'the magnitude of the job and over pro
test put jdS their action to the July
term.
And now we want to say a few words
to the citizens of Douglas county and
persons, firms and corporations owning
land along, or tributary to, the North
Umpqua River. Whenever there is a
scheme on foot that will not bear the
closest scrutiny of the press, or secrecy
is sought so that no information can
leak out, there is a steal or a graft un
der the proposition, and if there ever
was a graft it is this North Umpqua
river log franchise graft. Parties who
could control such a scheme could go to
New York and sell out the franchise, on
the showing to be made, for $1,000,000.
Why should the rights and property of
other men be franchised away for noth
ing? The parties who are pushing this
measure before the County Commision
ere are the same who were defeated at
Salem in the attempted graft last
February. The Senate saw the cloven
hoof underneath the proposed bill and
it died in committee just the same as
the present attempted graft should do.
The Plai.vdealek knows a great deal
more about this attempted gigantic steal
of the property rights of other people,
and before the next meeting of the court
may have a more to say on the subject,
and while we advocate enterprise and
development of the country it does not
intend to stand by and see exceedingly
valuable franchise be handed around
thesaid franchises virtually being
nothing more nor less than shackles and
bondag eriveted on future industrial
activities.
THE NEW KINO OF SERVIA.
"Peter" the First, and from all ap
pearances, (if we may judge the moves
on the political chess board) Peter the
Last, has ascended the throne of Servia
and received the congratulations of a
score of the little monarchies of Europe.
Now this same Peter who has been re
siding in enforced exile in Switzerland,
because it was not safe for him to re
main in Servia and plot against the re
cently murdered King Alexander and
his Queen, baa been elevated to the
thronCi after Hits conspirators flurilcred
in any city of Enr0Io . s0 tllia red. The Mavor Teleeratihs that He

country is now tlio peer ol any .Euro
pean monarch. Tho captain of the
pirates of Penzance wis a good-looking
fellow with the right kind of swagger,
but when questioned by the High Lord
Chamberlain if all his freebooters were
of noble birth, as he looked down the lino
of the notorious gang of murderers re
plied: "Yes, my Lord, all are noble,"
mid as one. whose hands were yet red
with blood, showed up, he qualified by
adding: "That is, my Lord, nearly all
aro noble." And when we get down to
the real facts of all those little countries
and kingdoms north of Greece and
mixeil up with Turkev half Christian,
up
hatf Mohammedan and all SW per cent
sheol, we have a fair picture of the
at.itns of tho nobilitv and royalty of
those lands. England and Germany
seem to be a little backward in extend

handed murderer, but the rest are run
iiini a neck-and-nock race to get into
the good graces of the cowardly plotroon
who put up other men and hired them,
by nromises of preferment, to do a mur
derous deed. The only bright picture
the only true manhood displayed in the
assassinatioii of King Alexander was
his memorable love for Queen Draga.
She was not a favorite. Her life pre-
vious to her marriage with him may
not have been pure, aceoruing to our
standard of nuntv. but the two were
pure and true to each other; and when
the assassins asked tho king, under
threat of assassination if he refused to

arms, kissed her, and both died; and
Peter, the conspirator, and murderer
bv Droxv. has ascended the throne of
Servia, and it is only a question of time
before his curtain will be rung down.
The Prune Crop.
The following has been forwarded to
the Plaindealer with a request that it
be published to give information to the
prune growers of Douglas county :
"The directors of the Willamette Val
ley Prune Association held an interest'
ing and important meeting Saturday
r :.i 1.1 .... r
.
uusiucsa iaa 1 1 iuo.iL mi, tuu kite cu- i
al outlook of crops and conditions was
discussed at length. The substance of
the conclusions was that there will, if
present conditions are not disturbed, be
an extraordinary yield of prunes in this
vicinity this vear. Especially is this so
with the French, or petite variety, and,
according to the latest advices from
France, where the crop has again made
an almost complete failure, as was the
case last year, there will be an ample
market for all that the Valley can pro
duce. .Last year the Willamette Valley
Prune Association sold and shipped to
France 13 carloads of the smaller sizes
of the French variety of prunes, the
quality of which gave such great satis
faction that scores of iuquirirs have been
received from this source since.
The large packing plant belonging to
the association has been found inade-
quate to meet the growing needs, and it
been ordered enlarged
before the
coming crop is harvested
A large
sterilizing machine has been ordered,
win a capacity oi uirce carloads per
ten hours, which is about twice the ca
pacity of the old one. These machines
wash the prunes, subjecting them to a'
high steam pressure, thoroughly cleas
ing them and killing any microbes
which may exist. The entire basement
of the building will be divided into large
bins, and a bucket elevator will be put
in to carry the fruit from the bins to
the huge grading machine on third
floor.
The manager of the association has al
ready received many urgent requests
from all parts of the Eastern states,
England. Germany, France, Canada and
British Columbia for prices on the 1903
crop, and will, as soon as possible, ar
range and send out a scale.
Large shipments of strawberries are
being made from this city, and orders
are being received from many points in
the interior, British Columbia and the
East, and there are many orders on
hand that it will be impossible to fill.
The abundant and warm rains of the
past few days have improved the crops
wonderfully. Prices have ranged from
$1.25 to $1.85 per crate, net, to the
grower up to the present time, and the
Fruitgrowers' Union yesterday received
an offer of $2.75 to $3 )er crate for a car
load of berries, from a prominent fruit
dealer of Omaha, Neb., but, under the
present conditions, it will be impossible
to fill this order this year.

The Telecram, went in to Heppner with
firti-lipf train, and reached the
scene of the disaster at daylight yester
day morning. The ride during the night
from lone, the arrival in the gray of the
dawn, and the grim sights of yesterday
are but partly told by the pictures he
took up and down the valley of the
Willow, and which are here presented.
"We left lone late Monday night in a
rig," said Mr. Shogren, "and drove as fast
as we could up the creek. It was very
dark and the air heavy. On the other
side we could distinguish what after
wards proved to he piles of debris. The
railroad was torn and twisted past all
imagining, and, in places the rails had
been torn completely from the ties and j
thrown in twisted mastes over the low .
hillocks. Here and there the remnant j
o desolate farm glimmered in the
darkness,
but there were no signs of
life.
"We arrived in Heppner at daybreak.
We went to the hotel and had a cup of
coffee, and then the men who had come
in scattered for their various duties."
Mr. Shogrcn said that the thing that
impressed him mo?t was the terrific
f.rce of the flood as shown everywhere.
"A cool-headed eye-witness told tne that
the water was inky black, and rolling
on its surface where boulders and stones
which aided in demolishing ever) thing
that stood in the way. 'I he water left
no mudofany consequence in the s-trrets
of Heppner, only slime. This, taken
with the tremendous devastation, shows
how swift ami how strong the flood
must have been. It simply swept things
clean.
"Yesterday morning the work of clear
ing away the debris and digging out tho
bodies that w is going along steadily.
I saw few women ami no children. But
every man was working heartily away
without any particular aspect of gloom,
but without a great amount of noise.
Still, there was much talking and dis
cussion of this and that as t.iey toiled
away. The Ecenes in the residence dis
trict were wonderful. Houses were
tilted up on end, jammed into each other
smashed into piles of kindling wood or
stranded like wrecks across a street
that looked like a river bar.
"The dead showed many signs of
bruising, though it would appear that
in many cases the purple color of the
bodies was due to exposure to the water
rather than to much knocking about.
Still, I could not tell, of course, with
any degree of certainty.
