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.

Surgeon AsmsHinated.
Omaha, Sept. 3. Dr. Frederick T.
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.

PICTI RES FOR NEW BOOK
Portland, Sept. 3. The most elabo
rate book ever published Is In pro
gress of preparation by a firm whose
books on other sections of America
are In a class by themselves. They
have enlisted the services of Benja
min A. Olfford of The Dalles, In se
curing hundreds of choicest views for
their use. 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.'"

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.

over the case of Mrs. General Ward

largely because of objections from lo

the leprosery should be located. The
