WHIPPED INTO LINE.
Few Insurance Companies Have Failed
to Comply With Law.
Kan Francisco, June 2!S. That the
insurance companies fear the weight of
official displeasure Is shown by the fuel
that there are now but five or six com
panies which have neither furnished
their lists of policy holders nor extend
ed time for proof of loss. Assistant
Attorrey General George Stnrtevant
said today that his o Hire is now ready
to commence action against the com
panies which have not been dealing
fairlv. He added :
"We have found a way to reach both
the six-hit concerns and the outlaw
companies, as we term those who have
neither filed lists of policy holders nor
granted extension of time for filing
proof of loss. Wherever it Is found
necessary, loth penalties under the
statutes will be enforced forfeiture of
bond and ejectment from the state."
The financial condition of practically
all of the companies involved here will,
it is stated, be disclosed on July 1,
when the companies will be compelled
to file in the state of Georgia semi-annual
statements of their condition.
Georgia is said to be the only state in
the Union requiring semi-annual state
ments. Chairman Spencer, of the "dollar for
dollar" committee of the board of un
derwriters, said today that the outlook
is dubious.
"There are undoubtedly a large num
ber of companiee which must go to the
wall soon," he said. "I do not want
to specify, nor would I say that all the
honest and solvent companies are in
the 'dollar for dollar' class. I do not
want to Impugn the motives of any of
the companies that propose a compro
mise. Some of them undoubtedly
cannot pay and ars offering the best
thev can.
"Some of the companies are now
making a delay to learn the extent of
their liabilities and will then pay what
they owe. Others are delaying in had
faith. These will have to wait and go
out of business, unless they can make
good soon."

NO PRISON FOR JOHN D.
Government Not Likely to Indict Big
Oil Trust Men.
Washington. June 25. Although the
department of Justice bas announced
that it proposes to begin criminal pro
ceedings against the officials of the
Standard Oil company, the intimation
is given out that it is doubtful if in
dictments may be found against such
men in the Standard Oil company as
John D. Rockefeller, H. II. Rogers and
John D. Archbold. An official in the
department of Justice indicated today
that while the government would press
the prosecutions vigorously, he did not
have an idea that the officials of the
Standard Oil company would be reached
in the criminal proceedings any more
than the presidents of railroads, per
sonally, are reached through similar
proceedings.

OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST
CHANGE CRIMINAL LAWS.
Attorney General Crawford Would
Remedy Many Defects.
Salem Attorney General Crawford
has started a movement for the revision
of the criminal laws of the state by re
moving defect and enacting new laws,
so that the guilty shall not escape upon
technicalities. He has addressed a let
ter to each of the prosecuting attorneys
ot the state, asking them to submit to
him such recommendations upon the
need of criminal legislation as they
may think best, and lie will lay the
whole matter before the judiciary com
mittee of the next legislature.
In his letter Mr. Crawford says that
probably every district attorney has in
his experience found some laws which
are so defective in their terms that men
who are guilty cannot be convicted,
and have found some offenses for which
no statute whatever is provided. He
says that the time to remedy the de
fects in the criminal laws is during a
session ot the legislature, and, in order
that this may be done properly, the
laws should be drafted before the legis
lature meets.
The prosecuting attorneys, he thinks,
are in the best position to learn of the
defects in the laws, and he wants them
to suggest the changes that should be
made. With recommendations before
him from all the prosecuting attorneys,
the attorney general will be able to lay
before the legislature information that
will enable that body to place the crim
inal laws in a much better condition
than they have ever been before.
A very striking illustration ot the
defective condition of the criminal laws
was found when the state land fraud
prosecutions were begun in Marion
county something over a year ago.
There was no law under which men
could be convicted after they had sworn
falsely in making applications for the
purchase of school lands.
There was no statute making it a
crime to sign a fictitious name to an ap
plication for the purchase of school
land. There was no law to be found
for the punishment of a notarv public
who affixed his seal to an instrument
which he had drawn, and to which he
had signed a ficticious name.
At nearly every term of court men
who are placed on trial escape punish
ment, although proven guilty, because
the statute does not quite cover the
crime comnrtted. It is defects o this
kind that Attorney General Crawford
wishes to remove. He is not seeking
to make crimes of small offenses which
are of no importance, but merely so to
correct the laws that ic will be possible
to secure conviction when men are
found guilty of acta which every one
recognizes as criminal in character.
Settlement Named After Wagon.
Arlington Some 30 years ago a few
men settled on a fiat about 12 miles
south of Arlington. In the crew was
only one wagon an old Schutler. In
some way they began calling this neigh
borhood Schutler, from the old wagon.
A few years later it was, as it is now,
known as Schutler Flat. When the
Condon branch railroad of the O. R. A
N. Co. was built, a station was estab
lished near this place, and is named
Schutler. This is one of the finest
farming sections in Gilliam county, and
thus from an old wagon a name is
found for a fine wheat belt.
Grain Sack Problem Serious.
Pendleton The grain sack problam
promises to be serious for the farmers
of Umatilla county, who will use 2,
000,000 this year. At the present
prices, 10 cents each, this means $200,
000 in this county. Other Eastern
Oregon counties, it is estimated, will
use at least 2,000.000 more, making a
total of $4,000,000 for this section.
This entails the expenditure of nearly
half a million dollars for grain sacks,
wbirh, together with the expense of
harvesting the crop, represents an
enormous expenditure of money before
anything is realized from the crop.
Historic Sites To Be Marked.
Eugene Acting upon a suggestion
made by Professor F. G. Young, of the
State university, the Native Daughters
of Martha Mulligan cabin No. 3 nave
taken up the matter of marking some
of the early historic places of interest
in or about Eugene. Miss Ann White
aker has appointed committees of fi
nance, location and program. It was
decided to mark with basaltic columns,
taken from Skinner's butte, the loca
tion of the Skinner cabin, the first built
in Eugene, the first echoolhouse and
the place where the first court was held.
Prunes Promise Great Yield.
Salem The rains of the past two
weeks have not done as much damage
to berries in this vicinity as expected,
and a good crop is being gathered.
The wet weather has made pasturage
excellent and an enormous crop is as
sured. With few exceptions, prune
growers report bumper crops, and in
some orchards the fruit is so abundant
that weak limbs are already breaking.
A few cherries have been cracked by
the wet weather.
Bend Ships Horses.
Bend Many horses are being ship
ped from Bend and vicinity to Portland
and other points in the valley. Many
riders are out on the ranges rounding
up all available horses. It is feared
that considerable horse thieving has
been going on in this section, as a num
ber of valuable horses are missing, and
as some suspicious characters have been
seen on the ranges of late it is feared
that the animals have been run off.
WILL SHIP 400 CAMS.
Bountiful Yields From Grand Ronde
Orchards is Assured.
La Grande It is estimated lv the
principal fruit growers of Grand Rondo
valley that the output for Mils section
this year will be 400 carloads. The es
timate on apples, which are the largest
crop, is 314 cars; prunes, (5 cars;
pears, peaches, plums and cherries, 20
cars. These figures aie considered reli
able, as there was hut little variance in
the different estimates given and the
estimates on prunes all agreed. This
forecast is made on the expectation of a
continuation of the present favorable
conditions, which could hardly he Im
proved upon; the fruit is set on the
trees as full as it can he to give first
class quality.
In securing the foregoing report it
was also possible to obtain some inter
esting figures relative to the enormous
Increase in the apple orchard acreage.
There are now 200,000 apple trees in
this valley and of this miuihsr 14ti,000
are in bearing. That is to say, this is
the number of trees of five years old
and upwards. Five years hence, when
the whole number of trees are in ler
ing, the yield of an average crop year
will be a million boxes, or atout l.titW
car loads. It is not too much to say
that within a short time the apple crop
income of this valley will be a million
dollars a year.
Even at the cider factory price of $5
per ton, ten year-old trees will on aver
age years yield at the rate of $142.H3
per acre.
While the apple is in the ascendancy
as the commercial fruit of this - valley,
the cherry plays quite a part. Can
nery representatives are here now mak
ing contracts for cherries at 4 to 434
cents per pound. The La Grande fruit
Krowers w ill have about 20 tuns to offer,
hut this includes only the sweet varie
ties suitable for canning, such as Royal
Anns ami Centennials.
Old cherry trees in some orchards in
the valley have yielded as high as KOI)
po-.nds io the tree. The price paid is
$K0 per ton and at this rate old trees
will yield $3,200 and upward per acre.
All these figures and estimates are
based on as reliable facts as are obtain
able. It is not necessary to exaggerate
the fruit industry of Grand Ronde
The truth is good enough.
May Test New Law.
Salem Just what additional revenue
will come to the state treasury as the
result of the passage of the laws taxing
the gross earnings of telegraph, tele
phone, express and other corporations
is not known for a certainty. The
Western Union Telegraph company will
have to pay about 3,H0O. The Pacific
States Telephone company will have to
pay more probably. None of the cor
porations wiM pay until it has tested
the law in the courts, so it is said.
Some have estimated the revenue at
from $50,000 to $100,000 a year.
Working for Coast Railroad.
Newport J F. Ntewart. William
S-arthandO. Krogstad, members of
the Toledo corporation organized for
the purpose of securing the right of
way for the coast railroad, werej in this
city last week agitating the forming of
a company of Newport people to help
in the endeavor to bring the railroad
through this section. They succeeded
in arousing the citizens to such an ex
tent that a company with $5,000 cap
italization is proposed to be formed.

administration, according to Informa
tion from a high authority tonight.
These plana, it is understood, were
considered at a mysterious meeting of
five cabinet olllcers at the While House
last night which aroused much specula
tion In all circles today. It is said to
have been the Intention to keep the
matter secret for a few days until the
department of Justice was reaiiy to
strike the initial blow.
Wall street, however, which seems
to vet information from every conceiv
able source, even when the seen! Is
autmosed to he con lined to the presi

a "tip" today that Standard till ami
the railroads were in for new trouble,
and on the strength of this stock tum

of the "leak" and that steps had been
taken to locate it.
A person of high authority declare
that the department of Justice, as a re

PREDICTS MUTINY OF SAILORS.
Narodny Says Army and Navy Officers
and Nobles are Rebels.
New York, June 22. Ivan Narodny,
a Russian w ho came here in the inter
ests of the Revolutionists, said yesler
day :
"There will be soon a great mutiny
in the Italtic fleet at Cronstadt, with
vastly more success than the already
historic mutiny of the lliack Sea Heel
The captains commanding are in sym
pathy with the revolutionary move
nient and will declare at the appointed
time for reforms.
"The army officers drawn from the
noble class are on sympathetic terms
with the men from the peasant and ar
tisan classes. The common people and
the nobles in Russia are not separated
by the gulf that stood between these
classes under the ancient regime in
France. The nobles throughout Rua
sla, and the gentry, too, are the eaa
ants' closest friends, on the most cor
dial and friendly footing. The nobles
are the backbone of the revolution in
Russia. The bureaucracy is drawn from
neither class, and is hated by hot!
classes.
"It is the system which causes
Hots like that at Bialystok. The rea
son why the bureaucracy stirs up this
resentment against the Jews is that
they are seen to be an element strong
for revolution radicals.
TEST CASE ON INSURANCE.
Lawsuit About Earthquake Clause
Losers Unite for Defense.
San Francisco, June 22. Two test
rases, brought by two women, who are
refugees from Han Francisco, against
the Palatine Insurance company, of
Imdon. England, to recover $(() in

in each case, and the matter will he
thrashed out eventually in the superior
courts.
The defendant company announced
its intent to rest its defense on the le
gality of the "earthquake cluuse" in

The judge said no evidence had been
produced showing that the loss was
caused by the earthquake.
The several commercial bodies of San
Francisco will meet Monday, June 25,

Congress Likely to Divert Money
Meant (or Irrigation,
USL IT TO DRAIN PRIVATE LANDS
Bills Now Ponding for North Dakota
Virginia, North Carolina, Florida
and Other States.
Washington, June 23. Larly in the
present session of congress Senator
llanshroogh, of North Dakota, intro
duced a hill authorising ths eipendi-
tnre of 1,000.000 out of the naMonal
reclamation fund for draining swamps
In his state. When the bill went be
fore thejeommittce on irrigation it wan
found that every acre to he benefitted
was In private ownership, and the bill,
if enacted, w uld not open to entry a
single acre of public land. Notwith
standing these disclosures, the senate
committee ordered a favorable report
out of courtesy because 1 1 ami. rough in
a member of the committee. It was
then stated that a majority of the com
mittee Isnlievnd the bill a had one, and
it was sttaed by several senators that It
would never lie permitted to pass the
senate. Nevertheless the bill did pas
and is now before the house, where its
chances of passing seem equally good.
A hill is now pending to divert f I,
0 )0.001) from the reclamation fund to
drain the Dismal swamp in Virginia
and North Carolina; another la pending
to drain the Krergladts of I lorida;
only a few days ko a bill was intro
duced to take ano'her $.' immi nun, and
expend it in draining the big swamp
of Arkansas and Missouri, an I, in ad
dition, there re two hills pending lor
the draiunge of sw amp in Minnesota,
anil three general hills providing for
the government drainage of swamps in
all parts of the I'nited State.
If the Haushroiigh bill passes, it will
open the way for these other measure
of similar character, and it will be only
a short time before the greater portion
of the reclamation fund, instead of tm
ing used for Irrigating the desert lands
of the Wis', as originally intended,
will he expended in reclaiming swamps
in states that have contributed not a
cent to the reclamation fund and never
will contribute. This legislation is a
rank injustice to the Weal, which is
counting on using its cwn public land
receipts for the reclamation of its des
erts, and unless somebody calls a halt,
the work of government irrigation will
soon be brought to a standstill.
It must he remembered that, once
this precedent is established, it will he
easy for delegates from the Last ami
South to combine and forte through
l) 1 1 1 for the drainage of the swamps in
the non-a.ld states, an I if the Last and
South ever do combine for this purpose,
the West will never have enough votea
to check the onslaught.
