Kills Another Bear.
Bend, Ore. Arthur Van de Vert,

namon bear. The Van de Vert ranch
is about 20 miles south of Bend, and
one day last week two women of that
neighborhood came to the Van de
Vert home, saying they had been
frightened by a large wild animal of
soma kind. Mr. Van de Vert and
young son, Arthur, set out with bear
dogs in pursuit. Arthur got ahead or
his father and killed the bear before
Mr. Van de Vert arrived. The van
de Vert family has quite a record
for bear killing, more than a dozen

year. Miss Grace Van de Vert, a girl
of 17, killed a large one last fall.

j Hood River Berries Late.
Hood River, Ore. Hood River's
strawberry crop, which is this year
expected to yield 60,000 crates, Is
later than in former years. The cold
winds which have prevailed this
spring are said by growers to account
for the lateness of berries and ship
ments In any quantity are not ex
pected before June 1. The first
.shipment went out last season a year
ago today. Everything is being got
In readiness to handle the berry crop
and growers are busy engaging pick
ers. Small shipments are reported from
the Washington side of the river,
which Is somewhat earlier than the
Hood River country. It Is stated that
more berry plants were sent here this
spring than for several years.

cellent, and, as one man remarked,
"they ought to be at the price."
Besides this, some two dozen canta
loupes have descended upon Chicago,
for which the same Identical price is
demanded as for peaches, despite the
difference in size; for the cantaloupes
come from London, where they have
been carefully raised during the cold
weather, mostly in hothouses. They
are better taken care of In crossin

"But who will pay that price for
them?" was demanded of various
dealers.
"Oh, there are lots of people who
will pay gladly for the privilege of
having on their tables the first fruits
of the season," said a downtown fruit
dealer. .
SHEEP FIRM XOT ALIXVER ,
ItAlLROAD OVERCHARGE
Portland. In a decision rendered
by Judge Cleland Wednesday In the
case of the Baldwin Sheep & Land
company against the Columbia South
ern Railroad company to recover
$446.50 for on alleged overcharge on
a shipment of sheep from Shanlko to
Rawlins, Wyo., the court held that
the shipper must show that ' the
freight rate claimed by me shipper
is not In violation of the interstate
commerce tariffs.
The complaint of the Baldwin
Sheep & Land company sets forth
that the company shipped 14,000
sheep from Shanlko to Rawlins In
June. 1905, and that the company's
agent at Shanlko quoted a rate ol
$116 per car, but that before the
shipment was concluded the railroad
company notified the plaintiff that
the quoted rate was too low and that
the railroad company would not
abide by it. The shipper paid the
higher rate demanded by the railroad
company, which amounted to $446
more than would have been paid un
der the rate quoted by the Shanlko
agent.
Suit was instituted to recover the
sum of $4 46', and was defended by
the company on the ground that the
low rate quoted was In violation of
the freight tariffs of the company as
filed with tho Interstate commerce
commission.
Judge Cleland held that It was in
cumbent upon the shipper to show
that the rate quoted by the local
agent-of the company was the legal
rate allowed by the ' Interstate com
merce commission, and that because
of Its failure to make such showing
it could not recover.

SAYS SLEUTH BURNS
IS
San Francisco. That Special
Agent W. J. Burns was directly re
sponsible for the dynamiting of the
Oakland home of James L. Gallag
her, former president of the board of
supervisors, was the sensational
charge made by Luther G. Brown,
United Railroads attorney, when he
took the witness stand In the Calhoun
trial Tuesday. Brown based his
charge on the fact that the explosion
occurred at a time when Gallagher
was not at home, and he told of the
discovery by Harry Johnson of Los
Angeles of a catalogue of explosives
In the Gallagher house. He said:
"At the time of the explosion a
neighbor of the Gallaghers, a man
named Wagner or Warner, was sit
ting In his yard. He attempted to
rush Into the Gallagher yard, but wa
prevented by some one evidently on
guard. From this time on I had my,
own Idea of the cause of the explo
sion. I think It was done to work up
sympathy for Gallagher.
"Another thing I learned," Brown
continued, "was that prior to the ex
plosion Burns, through a man named
Mary, employed a man named WIl-
helm to make him a bob. lie was to
pay $250 for tho work."
"Did you know that Peter Clau
dlanes was tried for and convicted ot
doing the dynamiting pob?" was Mr.
ITeney's question.
Brown replied In the affirmative.
"Then," continued the special pros-
fecutor, "did you tell the district at
torney what you knew about the
case?"
"No," was tho answer.
"Did you not think. In view of your
oath as an attorney," questioned Mr.
Heney, "that it was your duty to give
what Information you could,"
Brown sarcastically replied that he
knew Burns was at work on the cas
and that everything possible would
be done.
"Mr. Brown, when the testimony
was given In the Claudlanes case, did
you have an Idea the witnesses were
perjuring themselves?" asked Henry.
"I thought they possibly were ex
cited," Brown replied.
Here Heney changed his line of at
tack and abruptly asked the witnesv
who his present employer was.
Brown replied that he worked' for
both the United Railways and for
Patrick Calhoun.
"Do both parties pay you?"' Mr.
Heney asked.
Brown replied that his salary came
In one payment, and that he was not
sure who paid It.

Improve Your Cemetery Lot.
More good improvements are needed at the cemetery
grounds. This will be easily accomplished by decorating
the lots with reinforced concrete walls and also by erect
ing reinforced concrete monuments of different kinds and
different sizes.
Those who are not able to pay high prices for granite
or marble tombstones, let me call your attention to the
reinforced concrete work. This will last for all time; it
may be finished in any color desirable and also in differ
ent sizes and shapes according to needs.
Since the water is now ready for irrigating the cemetery, it ia
a good time to make improvements upon the cemetery lots.
For good reinforced concrete work call for free estimates at 408 East Bluff Street, or
at this office.
