The trial of Alvln Harris of Los tlne for the murder of Fred Jacobs last winter . was begun Wednesday and may go to the jury late tonight, Friday. District Attorney Ivanhoe Is In charge of the prosecution, and J. A. Burleigh is conducting the defense A special venire was needed before the jury was secured. A large number of witnesses have been examined. The state claims the death, of the boy resulted from a wound In the leg caused by a revol er bullet fired by Harris. The de fense claims Harris did not fire the shot: that the gun went off accident- ally In a scuffle between Jacobs and - Chris Cook: furthermore that the wound healed and was' afterwards broken open by Jacobs riding horse back and that blood poisoning set in because of unsanitary treatment.

'It hnd the effect of making them all tbe more resolute; the absolute necessity for Immediately regaining control In the city was forced upon thorn. She told them that -Count Marlanx hnd lately received word that the Grand Duke Paulus was likely to Intervene before many days, acting on his own lnltlutlve. in the belief that he could force the government of Groustnrk to grant the railway privileges so much desired by his country. Mnrlnnx re- tllzed that he would have to forestall the wily grand duke. If he were In absolute control of the Graustark gov ernment when the Russian appeared he, and he alone, would be In a posi tion to deal with the situation, "The grand duke may send a large force of meu across the border at nny time," said .he countess In conclusion. "Count Marlanx Is sure to make a de cisive assault as soon as he bears that the "movement bus begun. He had hopes of starving them out, thus sav Ing the castle from destruction, but ns that seems, unlikely his shells will soon begin to rain iu earnest upon tbe dear old pile." Truxton King was listening with wide open ears. As she finished this dreary prediction he slleully arose to his feet and, without a word to any one, stalked off In the darkness. Tul lls looked after him and shook his bead sadly. "I'll be happy on thut fellow's ac count when daybreak comes and we are really at It," he said to Trineo Duntan, who knew something of King's aflllctlon. But Truxton Klntt was not there at daybreak. When he strode out of the camp that night he left It behind for ever. V The unfortunate lack of menus to communicate with the occupants of tbe castle hnd been tbe source of great distress to Captain Haas. If tbe de fenders could be informed as to tue exact hour of the assault from the out side they could do much toward Us speedy success by making a fierce sor tie from behind their own walls. A quick dash from the castle grounds would serve to draw Marlanx's atten tion in that direction, diminishing the force that he would send to check the onslaught at the gutes.

Corvallls, May 11 "Care should be exercised In the selection of variet ies of fruit for planting In Eastern , Oregon," says Prof C. I. Lewis or the Oregon Agricultural College hor ticultural department, "since the high- er elevations of that part of rthe state suffer more or. less from the severi ty of the winter and the drouth in summer. "As to apples, the Russian varieties will be the hardiest. These in low altitudes are summer and fall vari eties, but often in high altitudes they are long keepers. The Red Astrachan GravensteLn, Duchess, Wolf River, Wagoner, and Macintosh Red are the best and most satisfactory to plant. Occasionally nearly any of the stan dard varieties grow sufficiently well for family use. Varieties of some promise in such sections are the Rome Beauty, White Winter Pearmaln, Delicious and Gano. , The varieties of pears I would sug gest for the region are the White- Doyanne, Seckle, Clapp'a Favorite.. ' Peaches, as a rule, should not he grown in the higher elevations of East ern Oregon,but occasionally such va rieties as Alexander and Amsden do very well. The Gobb's Apricot Is of ten successful." ' The four kinds of cherries suggest ed by Prof. Lewis are the Lambert and Blng aweet cherries, and Early Richmond and Olivette for sour ones.

He shouted a friendly cry as he advanced toward the man, calling out his own name. Ten minutes later he was standing In the presence of the haggard, nerve racked Quinnox, pouring luto his as tonished ears tbe news of the coming attack. The colonel lost -no time in routing out the sleeping guardsmen and reserves and in sending com mands to those already on duty at the gates. When the sun peeped over the lofty hills he saw inside the gates a rest less, waiting company of dragoons ready for the command to ride forth. Meantime King had crossed the grounds with Colonel Quinnox on the way to the castle. He was amazed, al most stupefied, by the devastation that already hnd been wrought A dozen or more balls hi'.d crashed Into the facade.
