One man is believed to hare
been shot daring an attempted
assault on Jacob Stauffer, 60, a
farmer living near Donald, when
two men. attacked him with clubs
as .he was entering his barn yes

beaten but drew a small revolver
and emptied it at the men. At
least one shot is believed to have
taken effect asone of the men

of the attack Is unknown.
Sheriff Oscar D. Bower and
Deputy Bert Smith investigated
Immediately, and have instruct
officers, on all highway points to
keep watch for the car in which
the bandit escaped. The machine
passed through Aurora and a tele
ph6neoperal6r there obtained the
license number when he saw the
- car approaching at a high rate of
speed. The driver was hatless
and bad blood streaks on his face
Sheriff .Bower has asked all Wil
lamette valley officials to ' keep
close watch of hospital lists, as he
believes the injured man must re
ceive medical aid.; j -
The attack occured at about

entering his barn land had started
to open the doors when two men
jumped out at him from the In
side and beat him over the head
with clubs. Stauffer fell but drew
a revolver which he used until
the shells were exhausted. ' The

were (necessary to " close the
wounds on th farmer's head. - ;
A week ago Stauffer was awak

Going to a window he saw. two
men prowling around. He shout

they wanted. They; replied by
telling him they were prohibition
officers and. that they had found

oil, and nearly all peppermint oil ward ot H00; Koleman Kiuck,
In the Salem district Is ot that
quality. A darker quality takes
a lower price. The trade calls
this the natural oil." It Is the
distilled oil, and is refined In the
east. It should be refined here
in Salem, and there Is a movement
for a refinery here. It will be
succssful if enough of the grow
ers will join the cooperative asso
ciation, as they should.' -
The total peppermint oil crop of
the Willamette valley this season
ought to be above 10,000 pounds;
perhaps as much as 20,001) pounds.
That Is going to mean a consider
able sum of money.
The Salem district produces the
best oil of peppermint In the
world, and the largest amount to
the acre. Our best beaverdam
lands ' produce as high as 85
pounds to the acre; and 60 pounds
is very common, i' It has the high
est menthol content of any oil
produced - outside- of ' Syria and
England. . It goes 61; per cent,
against 36 for the eastern oil.
tThe work ot distilling the oil
inf the Salem district - Is already
proceeding. It costs about as
much to grow peppermint as, to
proauce nay; ana the farmer has
the mint hay after the oil has been
extractedgood hay, most grow
,ers prizing it as the best, kind
ot hay.' v ;
It goes without saying that the
high prices, due' to bad weather
conditions in the eastern districts
and to the : destruction of the
crop in Japan by the earthquake
will make a bigger boom than ever,
in mint growing here. .
At the present prices, It is a
bonanza crop. It is a good pav
ing crop at an' average of $3 a
pound. - .

querry relative to the part played
by a cognomen.
As a result ot the similarity ot
two names', Governor Walter M.
Pierce recently paid a small per
sonal bill by 'rights belonging t
Walter Pierce, of the Shell Oil
company. As a further result, the
honesty of several Individuals was
firmly established and Al Krause,
Salem clothing merchant, has 'a
letter ot which he Is very proud.
During the past month Walter
Pierce had occasion to make a
small purchase from Mr. Krause,
felling him to send the bill at the
end of the month.' This was done.
but owing to the similarity ot
names, the ' statement,, in the
course of events, was received by
Governor Walter M. Pierce.
Perhaps the Governor rubbed
his head in an effort to recall the
forgotten purchase, but at any
rate, being an honest man and
believing it to be the duty of every
citizen' to pay his bills, he sat
down, probably reflecting ' upon
the present low condition of the
market for white faced calves, and
mailed a check to Mr. Krause.
Upon receiving the check Mr.
Krause realized that the state
ment had been sent to the wrong
Mr. pierce and he too, being an
honest man, returned the check
to the Governor with a simple ex
planation.
The receipt ot the check was
acknowledged in a personal letter
and with appropriate remarks. In
closing the Governor wrote: "An
honest man Is most certainly the
noblest work of God."
