For Vice President : | o f I n d ia n a | The fruit crop in Oregon in 1911 was worth over $4,000,000 in cash. The greater part o f this sum was received for apples, this staple commanding the highest prices both at home and abroad. Next to apples, peaches are the most important fruit in the state, last year’s crop selling for $523,000. Pears were sold to the value of $300,000, being an average of nearly $1.50 per box. Cherries, prunes, loganberries, grapes, strawber ries, etc, helped to swell the sum paid to farmers and orchardists during the year. About 300,000 pounds o f English walnuts were produced, valued at $45,000.

In fact, until £oal can be replaced by oil the weight o f trains on mountain divisions is limited by the endurance o f the fireman. In recommending the adoption o f fuel oil on the mountain divisions o f the Ca nadian Pacific Railway, William White, second vice- president, states that one o f the reasons for this change is the removal o f danger from conflagrations in the great forests o f British Columbia. He also alludes to the failure o f the immense locomotives now in use, say- inq; ‘ ‘It is not the failure o f locomotives; it is the failure o f the fireman.” A fireman shoveling coal on one of these locomotives for a distance o f 130 miles is physical ly exhausted before getting to the end o f the run. The Soutnern Pacific Co. uses over 1,200 oil-burning locomo tives, the Santa Fe over 800, the Northern Pacifia 20, and the Great Northern 115, Beachei.

SCOTT, General Passenger Agent. Portland, Oregon In a recent letter to the McMinnville T-R Judge Ram sey says the first paper in Yamhill county was the La- Fayette Courier, put out by J. H. Upton in 1865 or 1855. As J. H. Upton started what is now known as the Itemizer in 1862, Polk would seem to have had a publication prior to Yamhill, although we have always believed it the other way. Upton has probably started more papers than any other man in Oregon, having been affiliated at one time or another with almost all of the early ones, and it is only in the last few years that he has given up the job, his last venture being at Coos bay, where he is yet living; but too feeble in mind and J)o<fy to superintend or write for one now. He was a fireeater o f the Horace Greely type, and his editorials were read by friend and foq. He and “ Dad” Craig, of Salem, are all that are now left o f the pioneer journal ists, save an^ except Ashael Bush, o f Salem, who has long ago discarded the pen for other and better means o f making money, Judge Ramsey is also an old time writer, but o f a later period. In the early SOties he was one o f our writers on the Capital Democrat. The brutal crime o f last week at Eugene causes shudders to run over the most stoical o f us. To think that a fiend o f that nature is loose in Oregon, and is at any time and anywhere again liable to perform a like deed is a thing to get on the nerves o f any o f us. If the same person is guilty o f the crimes o f a like nature that have been perpetrated within the last year, it is high time some unusual efforts were being made to ap prehend him. By the almost insane ingenuity with which in every instance all tracks have been covered up, causes many persons to believe all the acts o f one person. In every instance detectives seemed entirely u n a b letofin d a clue of sufficient importance to really make a definite charge, although in each case suspects were arrested and fully examined. Neither deduction or elimitation seems to fit any o f the cases, and if we have any Sherlock Holmes in Oregon, they must have been asleep on their job. The main thing is are we to develope one capable o f successfully coping his brain with the fiend, are our people to live on in the constant terror o f the women o f the southern states, not know ing what day or hour they may be the victim o f the lust o f a brute who reeks not o f the consequences so his worse than bruts passions may be satisfied. Governor West is being considerably criticized for the reprieving o f certain adjudged murderers until such time as the residents o f Oregon can pass upon the question o f capital punishment. Although the Itemizer believes that hanging is the just aud only penalty that will set the proper example and keep in subjection those who would in cold blood take the life o f a human being, yet we are not disposed to carp at West for the action he has taken in this matter. If the people o f Oregon want hanging to continue as the penalty for such crimes, all they have to do is to say so at the polls in November, and the murderers will receive the sentence decreed to them, and in much fuller measure than they would have originally, as they will have had added the sus pense to which they have been subjected during the lease o f a few months more o f life given to them. Most any man, be he ever so illiterate or degenerate, if he knows that he has to die, would rather do so at once than be subjected to the gruelling wait that those now awaiting death have in store for them. True, these have the hope that the voters may abolish capital pun ishment, but they should be aware that their chance o f life hangs by a very slender thread, and that the result will probably be as first decreed. The torture o f such suspense is worse than death itself to an average man, and consequently we are not grilling West, as many papers are, for giving those now awaiting death this added punishment. As we remember it, there are no extenuating circumstances for any o f these murderers. They killed to kill, and could not even put up the plea o f self defense. Therefore should their punishment be long drawn out—and it is. BRINGS RECOLLECTIONS. S H E R IF F ’S SALE. Marriage Bring! Up Some Recol lections to J. M.
