HUNTERS PAY THEIR DOLLAR
Fifty Permits Have Been Issued to
unic in foik County by
Clerk Smith.
Fifty hunters' licenses have been
issued in Polk county to date by
county uierk M. Smith. The de
mand for these licenses is rapidly in
creasing as the season for shooting up
land birds approaches.and hunters are
calling at the clerk's office every day
and paying their dollar for the privi
lege of indulging in their favorite
sport.
The law establishing hunters'
license was enacted at the last session
of the Oregon Legislature. It provides
that no person shall hunt or kill any
of the game animals or birds pro
tected by law without having in his
possession and carrying with him
a license therefor. This license shall
at all times be subject to the inspection
of any game warden, sheriff, constable
or the owner or occupant of the prop
erty upon which the holder thereof
may be hunting. No license, how
ever, shall be required of a man or
members of his own family for per
mission to hunt upon his own lands.
No license will be granted for a
period of longer than one year, and
all licenses shall expire on December
31 next after their issuance. The
licenses are not transferable. The
annual fee for resident hunters is $1,
and for non-resident hunters $10.
The money so collected is forwarded
to the State Treasurer and placed in a
fund for the protection of game and
fish.

lege of hunting in Polk county to date
are ;

HOFER'S VIEW OF IT
Capitol City Editor Does Not Endorse
Heney's Methods in Land
Fraud Trials.
Col. E. Hofer, the versatile editor of
the Salem Journal, pays his respects
to Francis J. Heney in the following
vigorous editorial :
"Mr. Heney has said it and Port
land papers have doled it out to the
people and that settles it popular
sentiment is with Heney, the U. S.
district attorney in the land fraud
trials.
"Before leaving for San Francisco
to get a new start, Heney said he
would immediately proceed to the third
trial of Congressman Williamson on
his return and that the people of Ore
gon were with him.
"The trials all the way through have
been by popular vote as it were by
appeals to the masses of the news
paper readers, by the mob, and not by
fair and judicial proceedings.
"All the indicted men were declared
indicted long before the indictments
were found. All were declared guilty
and were convicted long before trial
juries were ever impaneled.
"Every issue of the Portland papers
for the past six months has treated
every man acoused of land frauds as
guilty, per se, ab initio, de facto, on
the high road to the penitentiary.
"Judge De Haven the old ex-Con
gressman from the First California
district, is brought up and filled with
these "popular clamor" convictions,
and he grinds through three trials and
quits.
"He showed all the way through
that he more and more felt the thin
ness of the Government's contentions,
and on the last Williamson trial vir
ually sided with the defense and in
structed in their favor.
"Heney lost his temper and spent
half his time trying Judge Bennett.
He leaves tbe state and promises the
newspapers that the people are with
him, thus revealing the whole "pop
ular clamor" nature of his methods.
"It is presumed that Judge Hunt, of
Montana, will be a holy terror to the
accused land-grabbers. He will merely
look at them and say, "go to the pen
ye accursed of the earth." The for
mality of argument will bedone away
with.
"The work of destroying the Oregon
delegation will go forward at the
hands of a Humbolt county democrat.
The land business of Oregon will be
paralyzed. We are getting too pro
gressive and prosperous.
"With three-fifths of our state tied
up forever in forest reserves, with our
delegation destroyed, and with timber
lands and other public lands tied up
in Government prosecutions, Oregon
will drag for ten years.
"The fair will boom Portland, but
the rest of the state will languish.
The timber counties will feel the
chill of a deadly creeping paralysis of
their principal "industry."
"With a suspended, disrupted, de
moralized delegation, Oregon appro
priations will languish, Oregon
harbors will remain unopened, Oregon
rivers will remain unimproved, and
other states will shoot ahead.
"With a "busted" delegation in
Congress and the Senate, the mouey
for The Dalles and Celilo canal will
not be forthcoming, and the Columbia
will not be opened to the sea.
"But will we not have Heneyism ex
emplified in Oregon, with hundreds of
jurors drawing per diem and mileage,
with hundreds of claims in each coun
ty suspended, pending investigation?
"Our state will be getting a glorious
reputation-, will be advertised to the
world as a nest of thieves, will be held
up to the world as a den of political
iniquity, where graft grows on every
bush, and public officials should be
hung on every tree.
"The question remains, is Oregon
with Heney, and does this state en
dorse its own political destruction and
industrial suspension?"
Indian War Veteran Dies.
Squire Griffin, a Polk county pioneer
and veteran of the Yakima Indian
War, died at the home of Thomas
Perry, in Sams Valley, Southern Ore
gon, July 27, 1905, aged 74 years. He
was born in Morgan county, Illinois,
and crossed the plains in 1853. He
settled in Polk county, and afterwards
moved to Southern Oregon. He was
well-known among the early pioneers
of the Willamette Valley. He served
in the Yakima Indian War of 1855 as
a member of Captain Burch's com
pany of volunteers.
The Weston Normal School will not

ONE CAUGHT NEAR DALLAS
Reform School Escape is Captured
by Marshal Grant In Woods
South of Town.
Roscoe Thomas, who with ten other
boys escaped rrom the Oregon Re
form School, Saturday evening, was
captured by Marshal J. M. Grant in
the hills south of Dallas, Monday
morning. The lad was still wearing
the uniform of the school, and evi
dently had made no effort to disguise
himself. An officer of the school
pn tVt A rtVOr Vf"r -I a r ,, A
& Kf 4U.VUU ti ULIlL'l li V.l II CI LI 14
took the boy to Salem.
When first seen in Dallas, vounar
Thomas was loitering about the
Southern Pacific freight yards. His
brown denim suit and Mexican hat
attracted the attention of residents of
the vicinity, and Marshal Grant was
notified of his whereabouts. When
the officer reached the freight yards,
the boy had disappeared. When the
morning train from Falls Citv
arrived, the fireman informed the
Marshal that he had seen the boy
walking along the track two miles
south of town. Taking the officer on
the engine, the run to the Lee hill was
quickly made, where the boy was
captured after a short, but lively,
chase through the woods.
NOT POPULAR, SAYS JONES
Senator Fulton's Convention Plan
Does Not Meet Favor in
Western Oregon.
(Evening Telegram)
Senator Fulton's scheme for a State
Republican Convention, for selecting
and recommending "suitable candi
dates" for the various state offices,
does not meet with popular approval
throughout the state, says Benjamin
F. Jones, a well-known attorney of
Toledo, Lincoln County, who was in
Portland, Saturday. Mr. Jones says
he has traveled through the counties
of Linn, Benton, Lincoln and Polk,
since the scheme was proposed, and
finds that the sentiment there is
decidedly against it.
"The general sentiment is that the
direct primary Dominating elections
law should be given a fair test," said
Mr. Jones. "The people seem to feel
much as Lincoln said, 'that if the law
is a poor one, take it off the books.'
But they would first give it a trial."
In his home county, says Mr. Jones,
the sentiment is unanimously against
the convention plan. The general
impression, says he, is that the pro
posed convention plan would subvert
the intent and purpose of the direct
primary law.
Mr. Jones denied the rumor current
some time ago that he Is a candidate
for Congress at the next state election.

FRUIT INSPECTOR'S NOTICE
Law That Forbids Handling of
Wormy Fruit Also Forbids
Its Sale.
As Fruit Inspector for Polk County,
I have made official visits to Dallas,
Falls City, Independence and Mon
mouth, where I gave the merchants
notice not to sell any wormy or in
fected fruit, especially wormy apples
and pears or fruit with the San Jose
scale on it. The merchants were very
courteous and willing to comply with
the law, as they have lost more than
they have made In dealing in such
fruit. They say that the law is all
right and that they now have a law
ful excuse not to buy or sell diseased
fruit.
The law that forbids the merchant
from handling such fruit also forbids
the grower from selling, or offering
for sale, wormy apples, pears, or fruit
infected with San Jose scale. As it
Is my d uty to soe that the law is obeyed,
I warn all persons against its viola
tion. By so doing, costs and trouble
will be avoided. I intend to do my
duty in enforcing this law.
We can all see the importance of
pruning and spraying in order to got
Al fruit. The horticultural laws now
require every one to spray and clean
their fruit trees. The apple and pear
crop is very short in Polk county.
Strictly Al Bartlett pears are worth $G0
a ton ; choice apples will bring good
prices this winter. In order to get
good prices for fruit, it must be strict
ly choice. This wo can have by pro
per pruning, thorough spraying and
good cultivation. J. B. NUNN,
County Fruit Inspector.
