Friday nielli in tint Lane enmity jail
at Kiieene, in whii-li city ho was ar
rested ye.-lerday on 1 lie charge of iir
"ii, uei-e shocked not only over his
death, but at the cause of his arrest,
Itoabt wan expressed Friday as to
whether he committed Kiiicide or
death was due to a natural cause.
Jt was learned Friday that follow
ing his arrest and lifter fourteen
hours of gruelling questioning by of
ficials, Hemphill had made a confes
sion that he set fire to the Slrick
fadden house in Ashland on March
17. lie implicated others in this con
fession. Hemphill, who was about 15 years
old and until recently was a moving
picture operator at (he I'age theater,
is survived by a wife and four chil
dren, who reside at 1(112 Fast Main
street. He is also well known in Ash
land, the family having removed from
that cily to Mcdford about two years
ago. Hemphill was li member of the
Modern Woodmen and Flks lodges of
Mcdford and of the Odd Fellows
lodgo of Ashland.
The willow and children were pros
traled with grief Friday. The oldest
child is Miss Agnes Hemphill, who is
employed as stenographer at the Ma-Kou-Flirmati
Co. wholesale grocery
house. Two olher daughters are stu
dents in the high school.
The funeral services will be held
from the family home on Fast, Main
at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon and
will be slrictly private. The body
will urrivo in .Mcdford late Friday
night, having been shipped from Eu
gene on Friday afternoon immedi
ately following the iiupiesl.
Others implicated in the burning of
the SI riekraddeii house, according to
Comity I'roseculor Itoberls and oili
er officials, are Mrs. Nan Mcr'udden
and her sister, Mrs. L. Dryfoos, who
are under arrest in Seallle, and n
Mrs. M. M. Garwood, who is suppos
ed to be under arrest in Eugene.
Sheriff Jennings and Deputy Sheriff
Anderson left Mcdford Thursday to
bring I he prisoners back to this coun
ty from Eugene and Seallle.
Cotinly I'roseculor Koberts, ever
since the fire, has been hard at work
on the case, assisted by Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Charles It'nhinsim of
M!ullnoinah county, District Attorney
Kay of Eugene and C. ('. McCnrdy of
Mcdford and Kalph McCurdy of
J'ortlaml, who is special agent of the
insurance company in which (he
Slrickfudden house was insured.
Tho burning of the house was
plainly incendiary. It is charged
that two days before Ihe fire Mrs.
Nan Strickfadden who owned the
house, returned from a two years'
absence in the cast and with .Mrs.
Dryfoos reopened the house and
slarled to liing in two rooms furn
ished with cheap furniture. It is fur
ther charged that the two women
conspired with Mrs. Garwood' mid
Hemphill to burn the house so tha!
Mrs. .Slriekfadilen coubl collect the

with Mrs. Garwood, representing n
company that was selling off a large
allotment near Seattle. Hemphill
anil Mrs. Garwood winked at selling
this bind in Meilord for n time mid

Ashland and Eugene. Hut lit 1 1 is
known in Mcdford about (he Garwood

Due to the shortage of potatoes the
past year and the consequent high
prices, there is going to be an in
crease in the acreage for this year.
Undoubtedly this increase will be gen
eral throughout the state, but it
seems reasonable that liecause of
the abnormal conditions there is go
ing to be an increased demand f i r
potatoes. One factor Wo should
bear in mind is the matter of pro
ducing disease free potatoes in order
to realize tho greatest returns and in
order to do so it is necessary to plant
clean potatoes or if they cannot be
obtained to treat them and to plant
the same in diseased free soil. Crop
rotation with potatoes is very im
porlant, especially in this valley, be
cause of the general distiibulion of
potato diseases. Kew soil is the
best, but where it is not obtainable
the next best soil which has not
been seeded for potatoes for three
or more years.
Seed Treatment.
Seed treatment: Corrosive Sub
limate is the disenfeetant recom
mended for treating potatoes as for
maldehyde will not get the rhizjtonia
which is so commonly found. The
price of corrosive sublimate at this
time is uhoiit If 5 per pound, which
is high, but. nevertheless it should not
be omitted. Dissolve four ounces of
corrosive sublimate in ,'H) gallons
of water, and the polafoes are al
lowed to soak in this solution for one
and one-half to two hours. One so
lution of this amount is enough to
treat about JO bushels of potatoes.
It should not be used for over four
lots of potatoes. t is a rank poison.
1'otato seed, treated and not planted,
should be either burned or buried
deep. Send for Extension Bulletin
1811 on potato diseases.
Under most conditions the 1 lo
2-ounce seed piece is preferable. The
ordinary H-oiincc potato should be
cut into four pieces. If it, is a
roundish or blocky type of potato it
may be cut into four pieces, cutting
through the seed ends m both in
stances. If it is one of the longer
type, however, such as the Hurbank,
it may be cut lengthwise, through the
seed and stem ends, and then cross
wise into quarters. There should be
at least two good eyes in each seed
piece. The cuttings so far as pos
sible should be made in cubical or
blocky shapes rather than in long
slim pieces. The culling can be
done just before planting tiifle, and
in order lo dry and close up the cut
surfaces, the pieces are sometimes
rolled in land plaster before plantirtr.
They should not be piled up in heaps
after being cut as there is dangei of
their heating and spoiling the geimi
nation. Those having seed potatoes for

GAGNON SAW MILL
TO MAKE BOX SHOOK
J. T. Gagnon has commenced active
operations at his saw mill and box
factory, In West Medford. When his
mill Is In full operation, which will be
within a few days, twenty-five men
will be employed at the factory and In
the timber.
Mr. Gagnon expects to manufac
ture at least 300,000 box shook and
have them ready for use in time for
the fall fruit crop. One and a half
million feet of lumber will be requir
ed to make this amount of shook and
when put on tho market, at the usual
price, will represent a cash value of
about $30,000.
'Mr. Gagnon hopes to be able to dis
pose of the, entire output of his fac
tory either to Medford packing or
commission houses or to the growers
direct. His factory will have a daily
capacity of 2,000 boxes.
TEUTON'S LINES SMASHED
(Continued from Pago One.)
giving a total width of three and one
half miles to the turning movement
at the top of this famous position.
In falling Dack the uernians are
making in the direction of en emer
gency auxiliary line to the rear a Hin
denburg line called the "Drocourt
Quennt" line. Work on this position
is far from complete and the Germans
seem to have no idea of using it ex- i
cept as a last resort. They are now
fighting under orders to delay the
British advance at every possible
point to perrr.t completion of the
work of making the new position de
tendable. Jlindcnbiu-g J.lno llroken.
On retiring from the Somme last
month the Germans apparently ex
pected to hold all the Hindenburg
line riming southeast from Arras in
front of Cambrai and through St.
Quentin and Laon. The Important
point at the northern end of this line
was Vimy ridge. Thore is no doubt
the Germens never expected to be
driven off that rtdhfl bv a frontal' at
tack as was done by the Canadians on
Monday. Anticipating a northern of
fensive, however, and tho possible
outflanking of the Vimy positions, th3
0 rocourt-Queant switch running north
from the Hindenburg line was
planned.
In the meantime the Germans,
driven back from their old positions,
were endeavoring to dig themselves In
at various places, especially in front
ot Monchy-le-Preux, in which process
they suffered heavy casualties from
artillery and machine gun fire. It Is
rather difficult to explain tho exact
situation where the attacks center on
arbitrary German field positions,
rather than on towns or villar.es. But
in modern warfare the taking of a
bit e: trench or a strong point which
is marked only on war mips may be
cf far greater Importance und signifi
cance than the capture of a well
kiiov n city.
Toward the southern end of the
British line northwest of'St. Quentin
an attack was made today over an ex
tended front and at some places the
British advanced more than a mile.
Various important places, including
Gouzeaucourt, were enptured. In the
meantime the Canadians further
north, fought their way through the
wood located on the eastern front of
Vimy ridge. The Canadians, by the
way, are loud in their praise of the
Scottish troops that fought south of
them in taking the ridge. The kilted
men everywhere kept pace with the
troops of the dominion, giving inval
uable assistance in winning the great
victory. It was estimated today that
the captured guns number more than
160.

druggist and got 1 ounce of
Parmlnt (double strength), and
add to it Vt pint of hot water
and 4 ounces of granulated su

This will often bring quick
relief from the distressing head

open, breathing become easy
the mucus stop dropping into
the throat. It is easy to pre

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered Dr.
lidwards Ulive Tablets are
a Harmless Substitute ,
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets the sub
stitute for calomel are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the re
sult of Dr. Edwards' determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. His efforts to banish it brought
out these little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel docs, but have no bad
after effects. They don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. It is best not to
take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards'
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards'
Olive Tablets when you feci "loggy" and
"heavy." Note how they "clear" clouded
brain and how they "perk up" the spir
