Withdrawal of oriental Interests
from agriculture In this section of
tho stutc wns made known Tuesday
afternoon in llend when O. II. Hardy
arrived in tho city from Redmond to
file deeds transferring the holdings
ot Ocorgo Hhlinu, Japanese potato
king, to George U. Ilurlt, prominent
Pad tic coust potato broker. Twenty
tiro hundred acres of lund Is Involved
in the deal. The consideration was
not made public. ,
Tti5 property which passes from
Japiiiea ownership includes the C.
F. lloskins ranch at Lower Iirldge,
nnd lanU at Terrebonne and In tho
vicinity of Opal City, It was acquired
In 1919 by Shlma, who operates ex
tensively In California, and who rec
ognized tho possibilities offered In
Central Oregon for the raising of
high grade seed. It had been his
Intention to use bis Central Oregon
holdings to produce seed for bis
California potato farms.
(Viloulzntlon Fenml
Almost from the first, however, op
position was encountered, particular
ly when Japanese were sont Into the
Deschutes valley to direct the culti
vation of Shlma's land. This was re
garded by many white farmers as the
entering wedgo for Japancso colon
ization. Indignation meetings wero
held by settlers, with the most bitter
opposition centering In Terrebonne,
and last year the plan was virtually
given up.
Hum's purchase Is taken as an in
dication that cultivation of potatoes
on a largo scale will be started, espe
cially as tho doal Includes all farm

cured for tho various Shlma holdings.

ED HALVORSEN
CASE ILL GO
TOGRANDJURY
Explanation of Skull
Wounds Is Required
MADE BEFORE DEATH
Hlltcrton Physician, Corroborated by
Dr. Xorrls of Dend, Hayn Onr
rctt Would Have I-osc Con
Nrloume After Injuries
Ed Halrorscn was held to the
grand Jury without ball, charged
with the murder ot William Garrett.
Halvorsen was bound over for fur
ther investigation ot the killing on
the night of July 1 because of the
fact that no explanations have been
produced by the defense for skull
Injuries found In the course ot an
autopsy, and because doubt was
raised by state's witnesses as to the
circumstances" attending the shot
which Halvorsen claimed Garrett
fired at him through the door ot the
Halvorsen ranch house.
Injuries of the skull sustained by
Garrett, killed at the Halvorsen
ranch near Bend on the night of July
1, were inflicted before death. It was
declared Saturday afternoon by Dr.
P. A. Loar, Sllrerton physician who
conducted the post mortem examina
tion at Silverton. Testifying at Hal
vorsen's preliminary hearing this aft
ernoon. Dr. Loar stated that hemor
rhages which accompanied the In
juries showed that the wounds had
not been Inflicted after death. The
back of a shovel such as that intro
duced in evidence could have caused
the Injuries', he said. On the
supposition that Garrett had fallen
after being shot by Halvorsen, the
fracture running Irani the temple
and upWiftT 'cotllfl' bars been caused
my the impact with the earth, pro
viding this had contained some hard
substance. Dr. Loar stated. The
man's skull had been In perfectly
healthy condition, showing no evi
dence of a necrotic condition which
would have rendered the bone brit
tle, he testified.
Ballet Found Under Skin
Regarding a bruise at the crown
ot the head, found after the scalp
was removed. Dr. Loar said that the
result ot such an Injury would be
concuslon ot the brain, with loss ot
consciousness. The Injury of tho
temple would bare caused a similar
condition, but ultimately would hare
meant death, he thought. A revolver
bullet which entered the body ou tho
left side at the Juncture ot the fourth
rib and breast bone, and tailed to
pierce the skin after It had passed
between the eleventh. and twelfth ribs
tour inches to the right ot the back
bone and eight Inches below the point
ot entrance, caused death, ln tho
opinion of the witness. The bullet
was found underneittb. the skin.
Dr. E. It. Norrls of Bend testified
in corroboration of -the testimony
given by his colleague relative to the
probable effects and causes ot the In
juries described.
No witnesses were put on by tho
defense.
Defendant Is Calm
Wljh little apparent effort being
mado by the defense to discredit tes
timony offered by Spqclal Prosecutor
I a. U. McMahan, evidence entirely ot
n circumstantial nature was Intro
duced In the prpl(minary hearing tor
Halrorsen. The hearing- was held bo
fore County Judge It. W. Sawyer.
E. O. Stadtcr represented Halvorsen.
Tho defendant, closely watching each
witness, and the state's attorney, was
nevertheless calm throughout the en
tire hearing.
E. D. Gilson, acting coroner at the
time ot the killing, and Sheriff S. E.
Roberta told ot tho Investigation con
ducted at the Halvorsen ranch where
the body ot Garrett lay 10 paces .from
tho house when they arrived early on
tho morning of Jdly 2. They agreed
as to Halroraen'ft account ot 'the kill
ing that Qnrrett bad approached the
house, Invited Halvorsen to como out
and bo kiled, that tin Halvorson's
refusal Garrett had opened fire a mo
ment after llalyorsan had slammed
the door, and that after two' shots
from Garrett, Halyorson had opened
tho door wtdo enough to send ono in
reply. This one shot wns blamed for
Garrett's death n,t, the coroner's in
quest. Bqth pfflcers agreed that, It
would havo b9on Impossible for'Gar
