Obadiah Evaus dropped his stock Inged feet off the Ottoman and start ed to lift his big frame out ot Hie deep-sealed armchair just as Jim appeared fro.n the hall. "What's wanted?" "You," answered the young man tersely. "Let's have a talk." "I'm agreeable," ocknowledged Obadiah genially, sitting back in his chair. "Well, what'll we talk about Miss Prescott?" and the twinkle in Ii Is eye was unmistak able. But tbere was no !evlty in either Jim's expression or manner. "Ben's the liar, not Miss Prescott," "Miss Prescott was here this noon " "How come? 'Twarn't nobody home." Obadiah asked. . "Mr. Chase hadn't left: he brought her here after she sprained her ankle." Jim strode over to tho mantel shelf and fingered the ornaments there. Suddenly be faced about, propping his shoulders against the mantel. "Our mail got mixed," he began, "and the fool put a letter to you In the Prescott bo." "Well, what of It?" questioned Obadiah. "'Tlsn't nothing to get wad about my mail's Innocuous. Let's have the letter," and he ex tended his hand. "I haven't it" "Didn't Miss Prescott give It to you?" v . "No, she lost It." Obadlub eyed Jim through a cloud of tobacco smoke; he was ac customed to the latter's Irritability, but not to bis unnatural pallor. "Sick, son?" he asked, bonding forward in genuine concern, to be rebuffed Instantly by Jim's tincom promising "No," "Then what In tarnation alls you?" he demanded with some heat. "Iialn't fussing 'cause Miss Pres cott lost the letter; she's welcome to all of mine." "This," Jim spoke slowly, Im pressively, "ihls letter was from Commander Sinclair, and It fell Into Miss Prescott's hands." "So that's It." Obadiah laid down bis pipe. "And MIsh Prescott knows " "Nothing." harshly. "She lost the letter unopened." Jim took an envelope from his pocket and tossed It In O bad hill's lap. '"' Ben picked It up on the way here from Yew Lodge and took it to her empty " After one comprehensive look at the envelope, Obadiah twisted It Into a cocked bat and threw It Into tho fireplace. "Haven't you anything to say?" demanded Jim, with rising Ire. "Don't you reallzo that letter Is floating around somewhere, involv Ing you" ' ato!J right there!" Seldom bad Jim seen Oo.-.illah moved to wrath. The look In his eves was Indica tive ot his feelings and the young er man paused, startled. What bad his Incautious words provoked?

"And wht'n the envelope was picked up by Ue:i It was found to bo empty." "Hold ban)," cautioned Obadiah quickly. "Did Den llnd It amply?" "lie declares bo found It In the condition in which bo gave It to Miss Prescott In my presence." "Well." Obadiah drew In his br-alb vmi let It out slowly, "Ben's statement gives tho lie to Miss Prescott." Jim's start almost upset the lamp. "What do you mean?" he demand ed harshly. "It Ben picked up nil empty en velope Immediately after Miss Pres cott lost the letter, she must have removed Its contents before that," retorted Obadiah dryly. "You over look the obvious, I'm thinking, same as Ben." "Ben Is the liar," Jim's protest rang out hotly, "and not Miss Pres cott!" He sprang to his feet. "I'll wring his neck." "Co to It!" exclntmed Obadiah with whole-hearted encouragement. Jim protested, rising to his feet. "Den's been courting trouble for some time, snooping around where he oughtn't to be. Stop a minute," and Jim, already at the door, paused reluctantly. "If Den has the letter. Well and good, get it: If not," he hesitated, stroking his chin with cold flngers, "It'll be time to reckon with Miss. Prescott." Jim swung back, his eyes blaz ing: "No threats " Obadiah regarded him stead fastly. It I'm not here when you get back, don't wait up for me," and so saying, tho farmer, ignoring the other's presence, took up the Litch field Inquirer and holding it spread out before his face, proceeded to peruse the editorial page. But Obadiah made no senso of the printed words, and as the front door slammed on Jim's departing figure, be let tho newspnrer fall un heeded to the floor. Time passed and still lie-sat, head hack, eyes halt closed, bis ac tive brain busy with n.any prob lems. A bodroom door closed up stairs as Deborah, his housekeeper, retired for the night, and aroused him. Getting slowly to bis feet he went over to the smoking table and re plenished his empty pouch. As he put back the large can t pipe to bacco, he noticed the scratch pad was -written on and adjusting his reading glasses inspected Aqulla Chase's memorandum as to the sale ot a pig. Below the lino chlrography of the botunlst, with even tho tlmo of day recorded, was scrawled a furl her message In his housekeeper's writ ing. "Rundown was hanging round all day looking for work; 1 sent him to the shed, but the woodpilo bennt no bigger" so ran Deborah's cryptic message. . ' A Bmnll photograph In one of the divisions of the old wallet slipped out ot his hand and tor fully a min ute he continued to stare at the pictured likeness ot his wife. Her eyes smiled up at him with the same trust nnd devotion he had known In thoso happy bygone days eyes like, yet unlike, Jim's. ObaJ lull's toll worn flngcrt brushed his wet lids and, then slipped tho precious photograph back into its hiding place. Going to tho barn, he stepped ,'nlo his car nnd drovo oil toward Torrlngton.

Barnes and Corn of Medf ord Have Largest Pear Orchard in Douglas The largest pear orchard in Doug las county, the Overland or chards property, was ld recent 1 to two pear gro'wers from Med ford, .Mr. .1. t Barnes and Mr. t. E. form These men are fruit growers of long and successful I experience and are very enthu siastic about their new properly, so enthusiastic in fact, that they slate with pride that they are pre paring to spend nearly as much in tho development and improve ment of the property as it cost them to pure ha ho it. The Overland orchards, located across the river from tho country club golf links, is a solid tract comprising 2SS acres. It is wedg shaped, having about a mile of beautiful river frontage, the river forming the longest leg of the right angle triangle of tho boun dary lines. The tract was pur chased and developed by eastern people who acquired tho property about 1 7 years ago. The Over land Orchards company formerly owned the property, which was managed by f harles A. Brand, until three years ago when It was acquired by A. C. Marsters and has recently been operated under lease by the Dan-Wuille com pany. Orchard WelJ Plan net I. Mr. forn, who is spending most of his time In Uoschurg, took tho News-lteview reporter over the property and was warm in his praise of the developers. He pointed out how perfectly the trees were set out in rows nnd how well! the entire orchard was planned. There are !)800 pear trees in tho tract, consisting of three varieties. Winter Nellls, Anjou and Bartlett. The pear trees are planted in al ternate rows to give best pollina tion. besides the pears there nre 2700 apple trees and 30 acres of fine grapes. K.U'iislvo Improvement riatiiHNl A large crew of men Is at work preparing the orchard for next year's yield. Every tree will bo pruned and an expert Is exam ining tho roots of each tree for possible defect or disease. When a defective tree is discovered Iti is marked and all of the diseased portion is pruned away. Jf it is found that a tree is badly defec tive it Is removed entirely and replaced with another. Two large tractors were ganged together and-a subsoller was used I over tho entire orchard. Tho sub-j Holler agitated tho earth between the treea to a depth of 30 inches,! which will allow winter rains to! reach tho roots of the trees. An entire carload of sulphate of i ammonia fertilizer was scattered' on tho land. When It Is realized that this fertilizer costs half ns ENGINEER REPORT ON United States Senator Charles L. McNary will use his Influence In the matter of an early report of the board of army engineers on the Crescent City harbor project, work on which has been underway for sometime, according to a tele gram received yesterday by the lo cal offico of the Northern Cali fornia - Houthern Oregon Develop ment association. Tho senator ex plained the hoard has not received tho report of the divisional engi neer. The wire Is ns follows: "Letter third received today antl I have Just conferred with army engineers concerning tho present status of tho Crescent City project. The fifty thousand dollars men tinned In a former wlro Is tho un expended sum to bo used for the fiscal year In the maintenance and completion of the existing project, and has no relation to the larger project which Is now a matter of study by the local engineers. The board of army engineers has not received the report of the divisional engineer but hopes to shortly, and will wire today to expedite this this master which 1 think they are willing to do. You may be assured of my continued Interest and de sire to servo wherever possible." TALENT. Ore., Dec. 7. (Hp..)

MM 10 EXPEDITE M'DfiMD IN MOVIES, TALENT much as sugar does, -the magni tude of the project may be seen. Own Power May Be ;cncintcd At the present time the orchard is not Irrigated. U is the pbm oi' the new owners, however, to plact the entire tract under Irrigation j which will be inexpensive duo to i Oie proximity of the river. It! has been discovered that a -Ke foot lift from the river will irri- gate approximately xu per cent of j tho land. Water for the irrigation ; will be pumped from the river ; by moans nf elect lit! motors. There' Is no power plant on the plac'j at the present time, but the new j owners contemplate tho Intstalla-' tlon of a Ueisel powered general-j tng set for the purpose of supply-1 Ing electricity for irrigating and j for other uses. It Is estimated that construction of n small plant; would bo loss expensive than pro-j curing the extension nt the power j lines, which do not nass the place. at present. Conditions Ideal Here. Climatic conditions hero nre Ideal for growing pears, Mr. Corn said, and he expressed surprise that there were not more pear orchards in the county. 1 le ex pressed tho opinion that the cli mate here is perhaps even bet- j tor suited for growing Bosc pears! than is the Medford country. Al-I though not included in their im-j mod lata pin ns, M r. f orn a nd M r. Barnes will no doubt within the near future erect a pear packing plant in Roseburg, or adjacent to! Southern Pacific tracks near here. "We have been aide to estab lish a good market for the pears and other fruits that we grow antl shall be glad to co-operate with growers in marketing their fruit In any wa y that we ca n , ' was Mr. Corn's statement.

Prac tically all desirable river frontage property on the Uogue river has been purchased for summer homo sites, they say. nnd an even greater development In tho future Is seen for the Umpqua. Mr. Corn nlso stated that ho was very much in favor of the construction of tho road up the North Umpqua to Dia mond and Crater lakes. He stated that the fruit -growers of the Hngue river district have gained n I most wo rl,d wide advertising be cause of tho fact that tourists stop In that district en route to Cra ter lake.
