The Peoples Warehouse Where it Pays to Trade Save Your Coupons F 1 MM It has been the practice for some years In France to commute the death penalty by the exercise in all Instan ces of the perogative of pardon by the president of the republic, says a Paris item. Coincldeutally with the period during which executive clemency has been applied invariably there has been an alarming Increase of crimes against the person. For example the charges of murder have arisen from 183 in 1901 to 274 in '1905, and the increase was especially marked in the lat two years of the five named. Caj"-s of manslaughter also had be- come more numerous Dy nearly iu per rent between 1904 and 1905. So far as can be Judged In the absence of official statistics there has been no falling off in the number of murders and murderous assaults since 1905. Under the circumstances it Is diffi cult for French citizens not to con nect in the relation of cause and ef fp.ct the cessation of executions for murder and the multiplication of ag gravated murders. Juries have re peatedly recorded their conviction that the death many Counells-Oeneral and Arrondisement councils have also declared that decisions In capital, cases ought not to be overriden by the per Ristent use of the prerogative of mer ry. There seems to be no doubt, how ever, that so long as M. Fallleres re mains president of the republic he will continue to pardon every person sentenced to capital punishment. What then, Is to be done? To de prive the chief magistrate of that pre rogative would require an amendment of the constitution of 1875, and for that purpose the two chambers would have to be called together In ' Joint session at Varsallles. It would be possible, however, by a mere ordinary law to modify what teems to be the dangerous result of the systematic exercise of clemency, i The chambers migh pass a law pro viding that in every case where a deMh penalty should be commuted the convict should be condemned for life to solitary confinement. Expe rience has shown that, considered as a deterrent the dread of such a pun ishment Is scarcely less effective than is the fear of death. As for the ob jection to the Infliction of the death penalty that It Is demoralizing and brutalizing to the witnesses, this eas ily may be met by providing that In fuiure executions shall take place In private. The French senate has al ready passed a bill to that effect, and there is ground for believing that the chamber of deputies would ratify the measure. Will Interest Many.

Kuslln,' one of the most famous sur geons of the west, was shot and kill ed as he was on the point of entering his home this morning at 3 o'clock. There Is not a single clue to the mur derer. Dr. Huslin had remained out late for the election returns. His wife was awakened by the pistol shot and rushed downstairs and out on the porch. Dr. Ruslin was sitting In a chair. "I have been shot," he said, and then lapsed into unconsciousness. He died half an hour later, without re gaining consciousness. A single pis tol lull bad entered the abdomen. The first theory of the police was that Huslin had committed Bulclde. but as no pistol had been found, and from the fact that a surgeon would have shot himself through the heart oi brain, the murder theory Is now accepted. The police are working In the dark and have no clues. Duster SavcxI libit. Portland, Sept. 3. R. W. Watson, proprietor of the McMinnvllle-Tilla-mook auto stage line, nearly lost his life last week by being precipitated into Trask river from the high bridge which spans the river near Tillamook. It was due to Andy Nolan, a Tilla mook real estate agent, that Watson's life was saved. Nolan grabbed Wat son by his linen duster Just as he fell from the bridge and held bravely on to the 210-pound man aa he hung, suspended like a human vane, until help arrived. Watson was In his au tomobile with a party of friends when they met a buggy. The horse backed completely off the bridge, but the buggy was caught and prevented from falling by the timbers of a new bridge being constructed alongside the old one. In assisting the rig to rights Watson slipped and would have been dashed to the river, 40 feet below, had It not been for the quick action of Nolan.

Mr. Glfford's collection of Columbia river photographs which adorn the convention hall of the Portland Commercial club, has been responsible for many tourists taking this trip up the Columbia to The Dalles. Seattle. Sept. 3. The uttentlon of the fruit dealers In this market Is now centered on the eastern Wash ington fruit crop. Receipts thus far have been light. Receipts for 10 days have not been heavy enough to meet the requirements of the trade, except of apples, which are very J plentiful. The first complete estimate of all j kinds of fruit that will be produced in the Yakima valley this year has Just been made by H. M. Gilbert, president and manager of the Rich ey & Gilbert Co. of Toppenisli, which handles large quantities of Yakima produce. This estimate has been pre pared especially for The Packer and Is as follows: "The Yakima valley has a splendid crop of'liartlett pears, which are now being packed rapidly and are moving to the east There will probably be 120 cava. Many of the pears, however, will be shipped In mixed cars with peaches, plums, apples, cantaloupes and watermelons. "The general range of prices will be much lower than last season and fruits of all kinds will find their way Into the homes of nil classes. With lower prices, of course, consumption will be greatly Increased. "The crop of peaches Is short on some of the lower lands o.n account of the frost and damage from aphis, but owing to the Increased acreage of new orchards the output of peaches this season will be something of an In crease over last season. Present es timates Indicate the output of peach es will be about 2D0 cars. Owing to the new rules for grading and pack ing adopted by the shippers' associa tion the grade of Yakima peaches the coming season will be very much higher than In past years. No peach es smaller than 90 to the box will be handled by responsible dealers and growers. Other sections ordinarily 'pnbk peaches Tunning as high as 120 to the box. These small sizes are almost Invariably poor In flavor. Dealers everywhere are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Yakima peaches. From now on I prophesy Yakima peaches will be known as the best brand of peaches grown In the northwest. Early Crawfords and Champions are Just beginning to come In, to gether with some Fosters. The great majority of our peaches, however, are of the unexcelled Elberta variety, which will rlped from August 20 In the warmer valleys near Toppenlsh to September 15 In the Nob Hill district near North Yakima. "During the last week of August and the first 10 days of September, from present indications, the Yakima valley will be loading from 10 to. 35 cars of peaches per day. This will be the season for the housewives to get their canning peaches. "Apples, of course, are the big end of the fruit crop in the Yakima valley, full ytwo-thlrds of the 2500 cars of fruit this season being full and winter apples. The apples here this year are entirely freo from worms, scale and any disease. The fruit growers have made large money In the past few years and given careful attention to spraying, spraying thoroughly In the winter with Rex lime and sulphur spray, and spraying thoroughly just as the bloom Is falling with arsenate of lead lor the codlln moth. Graven-' stein apples are now being picked and shipped to Alaska and points In Brit ish Columbia. "Growers and dealers are not look ing for the extravagantly high prices of last year. They are expecting from $1.25 to $1.50 for fancy export varie ties and 60 cents to $1 for medium varieties, Buch as Black Twig, Rome Beauty, Wagner, etc. Jonathans will be ready for shipment the last of September and are going to show, from present Indications, elegant col-1 or and quality. Af varieties are a! full crop and the estimated shipments of apples will be 1600 cars of 600 boxes each.'" The First National Bank PENDLETON, OREGON Capital,' Surplus and 300,000.2!

McLeod T.C.Taylor SECURITY I.KCTl'HE COI RSE FOR OREGON GRANGE "Always something new out of Oregon." This new application of the ancient saying Is becoming almost as well known as Its forbear of an tiquity. The latest unique Innova tion to be promulgated by the Beaver state Is the adoption of a lecture course by the Oregon grange combin ing the work of half a dozen educa tional Institutions of the state. The plan to educate the people of the state to the benefits to be de rived from the Oregon library com mission was evolved by J. J. Johnson, state lecturer of the grange. Mr. Johnson In outlining his Idea thought It would be of great benefit to edu cational circles In the farming com muntles if he could Include In his scheme matters of general Interest as well as those strictly pertaining to grange work. So ho conferred with State Superintendent of Schools J. JI. Ackerman, Miss Cornelia Marvin, secretary of the state library commls slon; President Kerr of O. A. C, Dr. Wlthycombe of the state experimental station; Miss Isom of the Portland li brary. Miss Nelly Fox of the county library and others before putting his plans Into operation. The result of the conference Is that the farmers of Oregon granges will have at their disposal during the next year the most complete line of educa tional essays ever got together by an organization of the kind. There are 122 granges In the state. Fiich grange has four district lectur ers and to every one of these will be mailed a skeleton essay with litera ture from which to piece It together at the beginning of each month. The work providing topics for discussion ami the material from which the dif ferent grange lecturers are to con struct their essays for delivery to the people will devolve upon Miss Marvin, who will be the busiest woman In the state until vacation time rolls around. In nil she will have 48S of these skele ton essays to compile and arrange. The cost to the grange Is nothing but the postage on paper. There are 10 programs to be stud led. Each program has four subjects, The first month these will be sent to the districts whose numbers cor-es-pond to the numbers of the programs. The second month and each succeed ing month a shift has been devise 1 by which i lie papers that went to dis trict No. 10 the first month will go to No. 9 the second mor.th and ?o on, in this way each bundle of essays wt'.l have reached every separate grange In the state before the end of the year.

Pendleton Drug Co I Nit ii I.cmt Homo. Washington, Sept. 3. The recent agitation In Washington over the Karly leprosy case and In Arizona over the case of Mrs. General Ward well, who was similarly afflicted, will, It Is believed by officials of the pub lic health and marine hospital serv ice, -lead to a renewed effort to obtain the establishment at some place In the United States of a national lepro. sery for the Isolation and treatment of leprosy. An effort to obtain legislation looking to this end, which was sup ported by many members of the medi cal fraternity throughout the country, was made Jy the pub'le health and ( marine service In 1905 md a bill pro viding for such n$ Institution receiv ed favorable reports In both houses of congress. It failed of passage largely because of objections from lo calities In which It was contemplated the leprosery should be located. The hill did not name any state or terri tory, but simply provided that some abandoned military or naval reserva tion Should be used. It was under stood, however, that the authorities had New Mexico In mind as the most desirable location and the delegate from that territory was not slow In making known the opposition of his constituents to such a mnv Foley's Orlno Laxative Is a new remedy, an Improvement on the lax atives of former years, as It does not gripe or nauseate and Is pleasant to take.
