FRUITGROWERS' CONVENTION.
Much Benefit Has Resulted Already. -
Lover Shipping: .'Bates Commis
sion Practices.
Mr. E. Schanno, a delegate to the
Northwest Fruitgrowers . meeting ' at
Spokane, returned Sunday. He says
that it. is the first meeting of the kind
ever held on the Pacific coast and that
great interest was taken at the meeting
looking to the advancement of fruit
growers generally. The proceedings.of
the meeting will be compiled in pamph
let form by Mr. S. A. Clarke, and a copy
will be mailed to each one who attended
the meeting. Mr. Schanno had taken
with him a display of Yellow Newtowns,
which he said looked better than any
apples shown.
Of all fruits that take 'best in the
East the Hungarian prune, properly
packed, ranks among the first, but for
that matter any fruit will sell that looks
nice to the eye, -Oreat pains, therefore,
should be taken by the growers to ship
only the best fruit of its kind and packed
so as to look well.
The railroad company was represented
at the meeting, and liberal concessions
were, offered.
Instead of paying $125 for the use of a
car and $25 more for ice, as haB been the
custom, the company will furnish their
own cars free, and, in addition, will al
low a reduction of 10 per cent, off on all
fruit shipped east of the Cascade moun
tains. This means larger profits for the
growers. .
Proper action will be taken at future
meetings to secure better prices for fruit,
Last summer some growers only realized
a cent per pound, while the fruit sold
retailed later in the same day for 20
cents a pound. The trouble is conceded
to be the fault of the commission men
who have some sort of a. combine they
successfully work. ' . i-

was Lower Fifteen Mile precinct.
The weather here is wintry today, but,
like the surrounding countxy, we have
had all seasons during the past month,
with plenty of rain, snow and mud.
There has been considerable ploughing
done, and farmers are looking forward
to a bountiful harvest, and watching the
tariff bill and trying to calculate on what
the price of Wheat will be next fall.
It is about time for the spring term of
school to begin, and oar district, No. 16,
owes many thanks to Mr. C. W. Emer
son for repairing the school honse. He
and his family, assisted by some of their
neighbors, gave a literary entertainment
some, time ago, , and carried out a very
nice programme. The admission was 25
cents. The receipts were sufficient to
purchase the lumber, and Mr. Emerson
did the work gratuitously
There was a verv nice entertainment
given at the Fairfield school house a few
evenings since, which won the highest
praise from those' present. ' The recita
tions were every one learned perfectly,
and several were rendered in a dramatic
style, showing talent in no small degree.
Those taking part were" ; Mrs L E. Wil
der, Misses Lena, Delia and Nora Hen
rice, Nora Bolton, Sadie SYoung, Lida
and Laura Hermans, Nellie Miller and
Etta Green; Messrs T Willman. -E
Henrice, 'Dio Wilder; J P Gillhausen, J
Miller, Frankie, Bertie and Charlie Em
erson and R Carlisle. It is hard to dis
criminate, but we think Miss Etta Green
in "The Last Hymn," and Master Loid
Bolton, in "A Puzzled Dutchman," de
serve especial mention. They are chil
dren of about 12 years, but speak like
professionals..
Our series of dances are about to close
for the season. They have been greatly
enjoyed by all participating, and every
thing passed off pleasantly. .
There has been but one play party in
the neighborhood this winter. The
parts was a surprise to Mr. and Mrs. R.
I. - Young to celebrate the ninth anniver
sary of their wedding.
. The,sleighing party mentioned in one
of your, late issues.that went to a "neigh
boring farm," came out to the residence
of Mr. Tony Wilhelm ; and the "various
amusements" were dancing, Mr. Wil
helm furnishing the music on the violin.
We think it a great breach of good man
ners that your reporter omitted to state
whose house was . hospitably opened for
their amusement; and there were several
neighbors and friends of Mr. and Mrs.
Wilhelm present whose names were
omitted. . -
Our community has lost one of its fa
vorite daughters, Miss Lillian Emerson,
who was married a short time ago to Mr,
William Crawford, of Klickitat. She is
a general favorite with old and young,
and will be sadly missed. - Our best
wishes go with Mr. and Mrs. Crawfordl
Revival meetings have commenced at
at the Fairfield school house. It is to
be hoped great good may be done, as
there is great need of it at present. If
the Wilson bill becomes a law, people
will have to live on faith.
If Kenb can withstand dynamite and
earthquakes he'should be sent to Wash
ington to suppress the bill.

An Oregon young man named Lincoln
Davis, a cousin of L. S. Davis of this
city has just returned to his home in
Silverton, after a tour of the world, last
ing seven years. . A recital of hia ex
perience -would be very entertaining.
He' wandered throughout the old world
until the state of his finances called him
to a halt, in other words, until he was
"dead broke." At this time he was in
Judea where he enlisted in the English
regiment and was sent into Central
Asia, from whence alter many weary
wanderings, he has at last found his way
back to Oregon, the land of his birth,
which he now thinks is the most lovely
spot on earth.

".esterday afternoon and evening was
consumed in taking testimony ,in- the
Hull case. The defendant was on the
stand a good share of the afternoon and
almost the entire evening. The attend
ance upon this case was larger than on
any day previous. . Hull went oyer the
alleged, events of the shooting.- His
6tory is that Cummings came back' to
the cabin while he was packing up' pre
paratory to leaving. Cummings wanted
the other saw than the one agreed upon
Hull said he "couldn't have it. Cum
mings said: '"What do you take me
for," and jumped in at the door. . Hull
held his revolver in front of him with
both hands and .said: "If yon-buck
against me, you've' got to buck against
this".". Cummings then made the circuit
of the table, hastily .grabbing a knife
lying upon it, and made a rush with it
at Hull. - Hull saw the gleam of the
steel and fired in an instant.. Cummings
fell back ' two paces and clapped his
hands to his injury. He was so close to
Hull as to be , powder-burned. Hull
then assisted Cummings to the bed and
bathed him, and was found thus em
ployed by bis partner when he entered,
the cabin. Hull then left the cabin for
the purpose of summoning a doctor and
to give himself up. .
ine prosecuting attorney made a
strong speech against the prisoner,
dwelling on the one point, perhaps more
than any other, that Hull made no
mention of this knife at the preliminary
examination, and did not mention to
anybody any weapon which Cummings
bad until several days later, when he
said it was a fork. As the process of
defense evolved in his mind he deter
mined to say it was a knife. If the fear
which prompted the shot, was a knife,
that was all Hull would have seen, and
would have been the first thing he
would have spoken of when detailing
the circumstances the knife. ,; He
pictured the state of mind the defendant
would be apt to be in from his self-abuse
and venerial drsease, and expatiated on
his pride of carrying a revolver and belt
which would hold 48 cartridges in it.
Attorney Dufur made a stirring ap
peal on .behalf of the prisoner, dwelling
on -the' point that Cummings was far
from being a peacable man, and had a
reputation for. violence when running on
the Mississippi' river. He urged the
lack of testimony to show that the shoot
ing was malicious, and concluded with
the Scriptural incident of the Savior's
charity for the poor, oppressed and
friendless. His address to the jury
covered a space of about two hours and
a half.
. Prosecuting Attorney Wilson made
his concluding argument after dinner
after - which Judge Bradshaw read
lengthy charge to the jury, He said
that the jury could return, under the
indictment, one of three verdicts either
murder in the second degree, man
slaughter - or. acquittal. He recited at
length- the conditions which would ap
ply to each. At 5 minutes to 3 -o'clock
the case was given over - to the jury for
their consideration. . ; . . v
