Fought Case at Oregon City In Fever ef the Fruit Inspector. The new law relating to spraying was upheld last Friday at Oregon City, when the jury in the suit of T. R. A. Sellwood vs. James II Reid brought in a verdict for the de fendant after being out about three hours. The verdict was expected by all parties to the case, and the jury was out much longer than an ticipated. The trial of the case lasted two days and aroused Intense interest, not only in Clackamas county but in other sections of the state, as it was generally considered a test of the law, under which Commission er Reid, while acting in his officia! capacity, notified T. R. A. Sellwood of Milwaukee to spray the trees in his orchard, and after his failure to do so took some men, went into the orchard and cut down 34 prune trees that were infested with San Jose scale. The law has been bitterly opposed and antagonized by severa fruitgrowers and the victory for the adherents ot clean fruit is generally satisfactory. The rulings of Judge McBride on questions that arose during the trial were in favor of the defendant in every instance. The court said tpat keid bad a rieht to cut down the trees, after Sellwood had failed to comply with the law, and his in structions to the jury were clear and decisive. He said there were only three propositions to be consid ered whether or not the orchard was infected; whether the plaintiff had been notified in time in which to spray, and whether be bad sprayed. The. court defined the duties of the fruit inspector, and said when the official found an orchard in a diseased condition it was bis duty to notity the owner, and after he had failed and neglected to spray his trees, the inspector could use his discretion in either cutting down the orchard or spraying the trees himself aud charging the expense as a lien against the property. He ruled that it was not necessary for the fruit inspector to warn of the consequences that might ensue in the event of failure to spray, and that ignorance of the law was no ex cuse. The result of the trial will no doubt make things easier for the fruit inspectors, who have no easy task and have aroused the enmity of scores of people. Merchants who deal in fruit, it is alleged, have made it a point to defy the law, and it is considered likely that violation and unlawful practices will now come to an end. Hair Raising- Tale. "The 'Beauty Doctor told a good ttory about her hair-restorer," said a well known Akron business man, "but I know a better one. With several other men I was associated, several years ago, in the manufac ture of a restorer. We had a fakir selling the remedy, and this was one of his tales; " 'A woman came to me the oth er day for her eighth bottle. She said she liked the taste of it so welL I was frightened and took ber into a private office and told ber to show me her tongue. She stuck it out and there was a half inch of hair on it To keep from hurting the busi ness, he had to feed her camphor balls all that summer to keep the moths out of her stomach.' " To the Delta Patrons Drt. LinkUter and Tatnicsle desire to announce to the patrons of the Delta Drug Store, that they have acq aired the stock of goods in the store, that they are increasing and perfecting the same and its pharmaceatial requirements and that they hare sufficient and efficient clerk hire to conduct a first-class estab lishment. Bitter esperience bas taught the Delta, however, that it cannot do as much crediting as formerly, therefore a cash business (or almost ita equivalent, a very short credit) will be greatly ap preciated. Souvenir postals at the Hillsboro Pharmacy. Paper. There was a time when it was said that there was nothing which could not be made of leather. It is getting to be the same of paper. They make water mains, rifle bar rels, window panes and clothing out of paper nowadays. Grease-proof paper has been manufactured in this country for some time, and bas been used extensively in packing articles for shinment. The principal obiec Hon has been so far that it is not ,wW nrnnf Trrt,,.r it U .ttM that soonapapei will be manufac -- - tnrA -,Mnh nn ftnlv he p-reas. nrr K.,t .-r.,rV all odor. well.'

Water-prool paper is common enough and gives satisfac generosity of the public for its suc tion in ttinif Instances Thread is port. Since that time, however it nun from naner cormer wires are inflated with naner. and even axes with fine edees caDable of ordinary cuttine. have been constructed out of paper. However, it may be well to state that in the case of the axes and rifle barrels, while they are suffi- cientlv powerful for use. the cost of making them is too great to allow of " ' general adoption. The newest fad in wallpaper is what is known as Japanese leather, which is not leath- er but has the appearance oi tooled leather and is such a good imitation that it dpoeivM most neonle and costs about one-third the cost of the eenuine. The retail price runs from $4.00 up to Ito.oo a roll but the rolls are a full yard wide and la yards lone, so the price does not seem extreme. Another beauty of the leather-paper is that it is ex- tremely durable, can be washed with soap and water without injury and is extremely artistic. Big- Money In Potatoes La Grande, Or., Nov. 18. Farm ers who planted potatoes last spring are reaping a bountiful harvest in the Grande Ronde Valley. The gross income from this year's crop 3 placed at $50,000 on the output of potatoes from this valley. It is es timated that too cars will be neces sary to ship this season's crop. These figures are computed on the basis of 1000 acres with an aver ace vield on unirrieated lands on I the "'Sandridge" section, and the estimate is conservative. More than half of the entire potato acre age of the valley is in the vicinity oi Imblen and Alicel. Fields that have produced 60 sacks to the acre and very many tracts have done better than that I give a net return of $27.50 per acre, The gross receipts from an acre at the present price of 65 cents per sack amounts to $39. One of the prominent growers figures the cost of production per acre at $11.50, as follows: Cultivating, 3 00; dig- ging and sacking, $3.00; seed, $t.oo I hauling, $1.50. The heaviest vield so far reported is that of A. J. Surby, of Cove, who has secured 300 sacks from one acre, At the present market price, Mr. Surby's income for an acre is I195, of which about $183. so is net. A six-acre field on the Oregon Red Apple Company's ground, north of La Grande, gives a yield of 200 sacas per acre. Ihese potatoes wenre grown etirely without irriga- tion, and on account of their super- ior quality are rated 10 cents higher than the open market. six acres wiuDei9oo.

A little over ai years ago a few of our representative citizens saw 1 . . j - e 8reat 01 some organiza tion for the care and protection of -.dependant children and also to aid children who bad committed their ouense .g.u ue ,aws, nence the organization of the Boys' & Girls Aid society of Oregon. At that time it was a charitable organi "tion, dependent entirely upon the has grown rapidly and its work has commended itself to the chari table public and to the state ofEci ciaK nd toda il is not only as ted by private subscriptions but by state and county appropriations It is, however, conducted on a very economical oasu ana its total ex I a..

A - placed out in homes. Inthiscoun ty W. N. Barrett is president and Benton Bowman is the secretary. From January 1st to November tst, 1906, a period ot ten months, the society hai received 326 child ren, on an avenge of about 32 per month. Thett children wer & re ceived from the following counties: Baker, Benton, Clackamas, Clatsop, Crook, Douglas, Grant, Lane, Mar ion, Multnomah, Umatilla, Union, Wasco, Washington, Wallowa and Yamhill. I Many of the children committed have indeed sad histories In a very recent case from an outside county a terribly immoral and de praved condition of parental care was unearthed. Five children were living alone with their father in extreme filth, poverty and vice The oldest of this number was a boy of 14, and the youngest a baby of about 16 months. The second in age was a girl aged 13, and the next a girl of about it. It was re ported by ladies of the vicinity to the superintendent of the society that the two girls had complained to them that their father was be having in an immoral and inhuman manner toward them. After an in vestigation by the superintendent the father was arrested and the children awarded to this society; the baby, however, going to the Baby Home. The inhuman father is now awaiting his trial in the county jail. Some of the children have already found desirable homes and seem pleased with their new surroundings a -1 4 r,;i.. .

It was necessary that some measure should be taken to break up the family for the sake of the children. Therefore, officers went out to the house and took . , .. charge of the enure umuy The children were sent to the Boys at Girls' Aid society, the father to jail and the mother to the poor farm. Most of these children are some what feeble minded and they may b for a long time charges of the state. Thus, every child that is cornmmitted to the care of the so ciety has a sad history, and if there is any worthy cause for charity the Boys' & Girls' Aid society should certainly appeal to every person who bas the welfare of the little children at heart. The public schools throughout the state have heretofore been of great assistance and it is sincerely hoped that they will do their best this year. In addition to this, any person who will send a trifle in money, provisions, vegetables, or in lact . anything and everything that would be usefnl in a household, will receive the gratitude ot the management. The railroad and steamboat com panies running into Portland have kipdly consented to carry all dona tions at Thanksgiving time free of charge if addressed to the Boys' & Girls' Aid society, Portland, Ore gon. Those who wish to send money, if only in small amounts. should send the same either by re gistered letter or post-office order addressed to W. T. Gardner, Supt.

The Federation of Labor oi Minn eapolis, Minn., has declared in fav or of woman suffrage, with only one dissenting vote, and adopted a re solution calling on the judiciary committee of the national house of representatives to report joint reso lution No. 186, providing for sub mitting to the states a proposition for a constitutional amendment al lowing women to vote. Another resolution calls on congress to cor rect the alleged abuses in the postal clerk branch of the federal service. Another calls on the president to apply the Chinese exclusion act to prevent the shipping ot Chinese sea men, cooks, etc., on vessels float ing the American flag. The feder ation passed a resolution that a cam paign be started to make the legis lature of eveiy state pass a law that no child under 15 be permitted to work for a living. 8teamer Ran Down. Seattle, Wash., Nov. 19. The first body of the 49 victims of the disastet which occurred within sight of the Seattle waterfront and West Seattle Sunday night, in which the steamer Dix was run down by the Alaska steamship Jeanie, sinking instantly, was recovered between vVest Seattle and Alki Point today. The body was that of Albert Mc Donald, a lumber surveyor, of Port Blakeley. Of the known missing the names of 40 have been vouched for. The Commercial Club of Seat tle has passed strong resolutions, addressed to President Roosevelt, urging that special instructions be given by the Executive to the Unit ed States marine officers to couduct a searching inquiry into the disas ter and "order the strict enforce ment of every statute, governing the case." The resolutions call fcr the extreme penalty for violation of rules if the responsibility can be placed. Port Blakeley is in mourning, the mills are not running and spe cial preparations are on foot to hold memorial service.

V W-"- a-" hi SHE TAKES HER OWN LIFE MAUD CREFTI tLD SUICIDES Though Her Sister Deelaree She Did Not-oDeetere find Strych. nine In the Women's Stomach A Seattle dispatch of November 21 says that despite the fact that Lr. Ward and Rubenstein formally rcortod to Cor oner Carol 1 this afternoon that Maud Creiliieid died from strychnine poisoning and that the Coroner has accepted the chemists' report to mean she committed suicide. Esther Mitchell persists that Mr.. Cieffleld did not kill herself. Miss Mitchell challenges the truth of the cor oner's findings. When told of the result she said : "Maud never took poison; we were very intimate and knew each other's in nermost secrets. If Maud had planned to take poison, I certainly would have known about it, and she never told me anything about it. "Maud Creffiuid believed suicide was cowardly and always instated that she could not take her own life. Idonot be lieve she could have changed her views. It would have been Impossible for Maud to have taken poison without my know- inn it; nnless she did it that night when she went out to take a footbath. Bhe was gone only a few minutes and this was the only time she was out of my sight. She certainly did not take the poison when I was around." May Hurt, sister of Mrs. Creffield, and Mrs. Levins called at the jail this after noon to see Esther Mitchell. Mrs. Lev ins had seen Mrs. Creflield the afternoon before she died. "I saw Mrs. Creflield, but certainly I did not bring her any poi son," said Mrs. Levins. "Maud Creilluld did not want poison. We had talked several times of suicide and Mrs. Cref- Held always raid that solf destruction was cowardice. But for the fact that it was cowardly and that God bad forbid den her to commit suicide, Mrs. Creflield often said she would like to kill herself, for she had nodesire to live. But she al ways told me that it was her duty to live and meet whatever punishment was si v en to her, and declared she was going to do it" Five different color teats were applied by the chemist makbig the analysis of Mrs. ' Creffield's stomach. ' Traces of .010001 of a grain were diiicovered in the most sensitive of the tests. By use of a powerful microacope the crystals of the poison were developed tonight. The authorities have not as yet made any attempt to detain Mrs. Levins, the c usin of Mrs. Crefliel J, and her hint cal ler, but there will le an investigation and arrests may lollow. The sheriff ' office is keeping special watch on Esther Mitchell. Notice!

CI Paso, Texas, is experiencing one of the worst storms in years. The snow is five inches deep, and a bitter cold wind is blowing. Trains are laid out and wires down. The street car system is out of business. "ere is grcai sunenng among ioe TM . . Mexicans, who are not prepared for the sudden cold snap. Snow is heavy throughout South west Kansas. The wind is high and a blizzard is raging. Cattle are endangered, as most of the ranchers were unprepared for the storm. The worst blizzard experienced in Colorado in a decade is raging here. The storm started Saturday and gradually grew in severity un til it assummed the proportions of a' blizzard, increasing in severity each hour. TheColorado&SoutheruRail road reports the storm extending into the Panhandle of Texas. The Santa Fe reports blizzards along its line clear to Kingsley. Kan. In Northern New Mexico the blizzard is the worst. A heavy loss in sheep and cattle in New Mexico and this section of Colorado is almost certain to occur. All trains are running behind schedules, and there is no prospect of the abatement of the storm. At 6 o'clock Monday night 8.4 inches of snow had fallen at El Pa so, Tex., breaking by three inches records since the establishment of the United States weather bureau nearly 30 years ago. Reports from several points on the Mexican Cen tral indicate that the storm extends well down into Mexico. In New Mexico and throughout the valley of El Paso there is great suffering and will be heavy losses in cattle, the snowfall being unprecedented. At Memphis, Tenn., the weather is bitterly cold and much, suffering is anticipated. From Winona, Ma ben and Mathiston, Miss., more complete reports have been received and a conservative estimate places the total damage by the storm to the three towns at 1300,000. Prob ably never before has the traffic on the railroads centering in Memphis suffered such complete demoraliza tion. Monday morning saw the coldest weather La Grande has experienced for five years. The thermometer dropped to 5 degrees above zero. Four inches of snow fell Sunday morning, and most ol it remains. Snow fell at Sumpter Saturday to a depth of almost a foot. In the Cable Cove district two feet is re corded. The Greenhorns are cov ered to the same depth, and it is re ported that snow is still falling. This is the first snowfall of note for the winter of 1906-07 at that place. Grocery and Shoe Store n 1
