The papers devote detailed space to the sterilisation bill and have 400 of the 600 measures Introduced, but there is a silence like an Oregon graveyard around the lime bill.

Dallas, Or.. Feb. 6. A Jury In Jus tice court returned a verdict of guilty against T. M.

Secretary Hous ton's decision that no land in the La Pine basin will be opened for settle ment until the 113.000 acres south of Crescent has been taken up. has aroused a storm of protest in this por tion of central Oregon. "Mr. Houston's statement that the lands lvlnr south of Crescent are niml- I lar to those in the LaPine basin and in the Big river vicinity Is erroneous,' says Alfred A. Ay a, president of the LaPine State . bank. "The land south of Crescent is pure volcanic ash wlth- o. any humus, la well covered with pumice rockB. and would have to be heavily fertilized to make it product ive. It is over 60 miles' from the nearest railroad point, over 20 miles from a postoffice. and in a section of the country where no marketing facili ties are obtainable even though crops cculd be obtained there." Crescent Hot Desirable. The land is not at all desirable for homestead entry until the country has been settled up in a email degree, it is too far from civilization to attract even the most hardy homesteader." Secretary Houston's decision regard ing the holding of Big river and LaPine basin lands from entry was brought about by the petition filed with the department of the interior by citizens of the LaPine basin -asking for the opening to entry of 108,000 acres of Jackpine land in this ejection of the Deschutes national forest. The tract of land that was opened for entry in the LaPine basin three years ago was, according to Mr. Aya, immediately taken up, and is now pro ducing good crops every year. There are, he says, but one or two isolated 40 -acre tracts unclaimed at this time. Homestead Demand Continues. The demand for homesteads In this section continues and for this reason an effort was made to have additional land In the LaPine basin opened to en try. The forest service made an ad verse report on this application, claim ing that the LaPine basin land is simi lar to that still awaiting entry south of Crescent, and that it Is non-agricultural, and will not be settled. ocal men who are interested in developing this section say the fact that all the adjacent land, openedfor entry in 1814 In this basin, has been homesteaded, and Is producing crops, is conclusive evidence that the forest service's report and Secretary Hous ton' classification are wrong. The LaPine Commercial club, in co operation with organizations from nearby towns, are said to have secured the service of several soil experts and agronomists who are to make compar ative examinations of the two bodies of land under discussion, and submit them to the department of the Interior. pWSaKaasssWssasMslS - I U.l..lnj'l...llll.ll III , j ii , in.i.nW,JIJi. .,H,.N.,,.l-- , s-t - 4 1 ' i t r i : I 7 V A Is J ; k;. -'' u r 4 Z , 1 it I LA: J2JiL i i I LXi s..f r-fra OREGONIAN ANflOR SHOOTS HIMSELF; TRIES TO KILL WIFE Frank Falkin Attempts, to Shoot His Wife and Thrice Wounds Oldest Son, TRIED TO DISARM HIM After Writing better to the Oregonlaa rattln ent Bullet Into Brain While Police on XOad to Arrest Him.

Girl Discovers Fire and Col- , lege Student Lecturer Ex tinguishes It Quickly, Albany. Or., Feb. 8. An attempt was made Sunday afternoon to burn the First Presbyterian church, a large stone structure built in 1911 at a cost of 135,000. A college student named Martin was giving a lecture to a class of chlldre.1, when one of the little girls, going Into the room at the northwest corner of the building, discovered two fires. Someone had set fire to papers on a library shelf and to a pile of maps and papers piled around two chairs in the center of the room. The fire was gaining headway when Martin hurried into the room and put the blaze out. ' Dr. F. H. Geselbracht, pastor, and officers of the church made an investi gation and determined, from a number of matches found, some of which were burned, that small boys were respon sible for the fire. Frank Falkin, 52 ,years old, Janitor in the Oregonlan . building, shot and killed himself in the kitchen of bis lwmt at 145 North Fifteenth street, at 6:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon, after wounding his ' eldest son. Albert, and attemntin the life of his wife, Mrs. Stella Falkin. 40 years old. The tragedy grew out of domestic troubles of long standing. Mrs. Falktn told the police. For years, she said, her husband accused her of being un true to him. Yesterday Falkin Insisted on taking Mrs. Falkin and Albert to a motion pic ture show. Upon being refused, he drew the gun from a trousers pocket and fired once at Mrs. Falkin as she fled from the room. Son Thrice Wounded. Albert Falkin attempted to wrut th eun from his enraged father. He I was shot twice through the cheek an! once in the left hand. Running to a drug store a block away, Albert telephoned to the po lice. Motorcycle Patrolman Crane was ton his way to the scene of the shooting when Falkin sent a bullet into his own brain after writing a short letter to the editor of the Oregon lan In the letter Falkin accused Mrs. Falkin of being too friendly with Joseph Parker, manager of the San Marco hotel at Eleventh and Wash ington streets, and told . of a "writ ing" which ; would be found- In the woodshed behind his home. Diary Xevtals Suspicion. Search of the woodshed revealed a diary covering a period of 24 years of Falkln's life. Time after time he repeated his assertion that Mrs. Fal kin was "going" with Parker and referred to a forced marriage between himself and Mrs. Falkin. Parker, told of the shooting, denied having had anything to do with Mrs. Falkin. He stated that he had known the family for a good many years, but was nothing more than a very good friend. 4 years old: Elisabeth,.? uavaii, Florence, : Albtot. 21. and John, 17. -Deputy Coroner 'Smith took charge of Falkm's body and the letters.
