There were 24 blossoms, ten snow dahlias, three pure white, six hybrid show, two white with yellow center, and the rest of the cactus type. The col ors range through shodes of yel low and orange, pinks, reds, from crimson to, maroon,: some solid colors, others marked with differ ent colorings or shadings. Que bloom , is a perfectly pure yellow of an especially beautiful shade, neither orange or canary but be tween. The pure wjilte blossoms are of good . size and . perfect In shape. i Mrs. W'olfe has grownf dahlias for the past 30 or 40 years or as long as she can remember and has been raising seedlings from seed saved by herself; from named varieties for about 19 years. One of her favorite seedlings Is a rose pink with pale yellow center. 1 Mrs. ; Wolfe has many other beautiful dahlias, and a fine col lection of the pompons. She has grown all sorts of flowers all her life and a visit to the; ranch when one's favorite flower is in bloom is a trip worth while. j Taxi driver IS MURDERED .

Helgerson made a trip to Falls City last Frl layr, when , thoy made a raid on Baun, 34-year-old taxi driver of Independence and. member of the firm of Baun Bros. Livery of that city. Baun was found dead at a lonely spot ten miles south, of In dependence on the. Independence- Albany road about 10 o'clock Tuesday night, less than an hour after he bad left his home! for the intended purpose of taking W.,R. Lloyd, ex-convict, and; two un identified companions, to Albany. , j No word of the .murder was re ceived In Salem until 4 o'clock Wednesday morning, 'when the city police and the sheriff -were notified. . I Search for the three; men,' cen ters about The Dalles where at 1 o'clock Wednesday ! afternoon Baun's abandoned Ford louring car was found by deputy sheriffs of Wasco county. : The; engine of the car when found ! was still warm and it was believed last night that police were close on the trail of the fleeing men!, j . , I Intent to commit robbery is the explanation held to be most prob able by Sheriff Tom B. .Hooker of Pblk county. On' three previous occasions Lloyd, believed tb be the leader of the trio, hired Irwin Baun, elder brother of the dead driver, for short "trips! intolthe country ostensibly In search . of employment, and it was Irwin that the men wished for theif driver Tuesday night. The elder brpth- er was in the habit of carrying several hundred dollars; upon his 17 : ' " Klf m, USE posiran JIIQSE PlyPLES It will often clear them away in 24 hours, because it is the most CONCENTRATED, of skin reme dies.

Early In the evening Lloyd ar- ranged. with. Irwia BaaLa. lor the. trip to Albany but after that time, Irwin, who complained of illness. persuaded his brother jto substitute for him, Before the arrangement was agreed upon the brothers had an argument' as to -whether the .younger ot tbe, two. would anbstl- tute for his brother but assent to the -plan was finally given by Clinton. He left. Independence with the trio at 9 : 15 o'clock. That the three men did not dis cover that the change in drivers had been made or that they pre sumed that Clinton might, also carry money on his person, is held by police to be the most logical explanation of the tragedy! Baun's body was found lying at the side of the road with the feet protruding Into the roadway by Sheriff Frank Richards of Al bany, -who, with O. H. Hoy of the same' city, had been visiting at a hop yard sear Independence. The crime was discovered about 10 o'clock, supposedly about la min utes, after the body had been thrown onto the road. Baffling evidence which refutes the robbery 'theory, was found In the fact that Clinton still had upon his person, when his body was discovered a wallet containing $12.30 in cash and his watch. One of his pants pockets had been turned inside out, but as far as is known none of his property was taken. , A second theory under examina tion by authorities is-.that Baun wa,s killed because he refused to carry booze. in his car at the de mand of the trio. The three men are known to have been in In dependence, apparently without any means of livelihood, for at least a week, and' to have made three trips to nearby1, hop yards where it Is possible -thay might have been serving-liquor custom . juaun was nrst siuggea witn a heavy dull instrument that frac tured the back fo the skull and which presumably struck ' him from the rear, while he was driv ing. He had also been shot three times with a .38 caliber revolver loaded with steel jacket bullets. One of the shots grazed his breast, a second entered his back on the left side and left the body near the right breast, while the third entered from near the same point and lodged ' against the right shoulder blade. The second bullet was found in his clothing. . No clue to the identity of the two companions of Lloyd had been uncovered last night. The three were first seen, together in Inde pendence last Thursday. They were again seen together last Monday when, an Independence business man observed them eat ing together in a restaurant." Fate dealt a hard hand to the plans of the trio. The first im position of misfortune came in the fact that Sheriff Richards followed the men In their flight down the lonely road probably less than fif teen minutes behind. Authorities' believe that the three deliberately chose; the neglected spot to hide the body and were probably halted in their plans by the sight of the lights from Richards' car which would have been visible for more than a mile on the higher road. The road runs through a swamp which would have provided an ex cellent hiding place for the fatal evidence. ' Misfortune Interposed for the second time 'Wednesday morning when the direction of escape taken by the men was ascertained by discovery of the car in The Dalles. Police officers both to the north and south. were notified Tuesday night, but It was generally accept ed. that the three were headed south.

After beinr released from .the Atlanta federal penitentiary today, George Remus, wealthy Cincinnati bootleg pris oner, issued a statement in which he ' declared false his- repudiation of testimony before the senate Daugherty investigation commit tee last year. Remna. was rearrested immedi ately upon his release here and late In the day the party left for Dayton, Ohio, where the prisoner will institute habeas corpus pro ceedings for his freedom on the ground that another sentence im posed oa him at the time he was sent to Atlanta was to be con current: in nis statement, wnjcn was given voluntarily, he said he had denied his testimony before the committee investigating Attorney General Daugherty while under duress, and after "many prom ises'' had been made to him. His repudiation became public on August 29, 1924. He had tes tified before the committee several months previously. After mak ing hs declaration to the press todays Remus wrote and signed the following: "The repudiation- as made by me In reference to the testimony before the Wheeler committee as to, the payment of monies to Jess Smith, to wit. $250,000 to $300. 000 made in an affidavit given to The Dalies learned the. number of the missing machine. A search was instigated there and in less than ten minutes the car was found, still .warm from recent driving. ' Possible light on where the crime was committed was shed this morning by the report of Mrs. J. A. Lucas whose residence is about. 300 yards south of where the body was found and who de clared that she heard three shots and shortly after heard a car speeding south on the road. , Hop pickers in the Sam B. Irvine yard also reported having heard the shots and having seen the Ford touring car headed south at a high rate ot speed.
