"The fruit Industry here wouldn't
be worth much If It did not have
pooklDg and cooling plants," Mr.

industry amount to much If there
were not mills here. So It is with
mining. We need a customs mill."
He pointed out that with the bills

n arrangement makes It possible for
tbm owners to make them self-supporting,
finance and operate on a
ftteeable scale. He said the miners

A THE DEAD BT
Tiynrc living 5$
EUOENF, May 13. Legal strategy
of Assiatant Attorney General Ralph
B. Moody Saturday afternoon, in ex
cusing L. A. Banks from further
cross-examinatioh, after asking htm
four questions, took the defense by
surprise, and alio placed them In the
position of seeking further court ae
lay, before a wearied jury. ,
At noon Saturday Banks finished
his own rambling version of the cli
max to the Jackion county turmoil
he fomented In which he admitted
firing the death shot, and tried to
Justify his deed by testifying that
he believed his own life and the Hie
of his wife were In danger. Banks
was allowed to give his account with
out any of the usual restrictions, in
order that state and defense alien
ists present could study his mental
condition. None of Banks' testimony
will be given any weight by the Jury-
save as to Its bearing upon his sanity.
The four questions asked by Attor
ney Moody were:
Evades Tax Issue.
How long has It been since you
paid any taxes in Jackson county?"
Banks replied, "we paid between
98000 and 910.000 for 1032 taxes."
Later under cross-examination, he
qualified this statement, by saying
that A. J. Blschorf, his confidential
secretary, "attended to all financial
matters."
He was also asked about his non
payment of state Industrial accident
Insurance dues, and suits arising out
of the Black Channel mines, which
he and aasociatea purchased from F.
A. Bates on a contract never fulfilled.
Banks dwelt nt groat length upon the
"Bates case" In Friday's session.
The state then nuked Banks if all
but five of the 30 legal actions pend
ing against him were not for money
due for labor or land. He reluctantly
admitted they were.
"In practically every suit filed
against you. you have filed an affi
davit of prejudice against the presid
ing Judge?" was the final query.
Admits Prejudice Claims.
Banks first denied this, but under
close questioning admitted prejudice
affidavits had been filed, but with
out his knowledge 'in some Instances."
Later, he admitted that he was in
court, when an affidavit of prejudice
was filed against Circuit Judge James
T. Brand, and had made no objection.
"It waa my position," replied Banka
evasively, "that Judge Norton should
have heard this case." Banks, in hit?
writings, bitterly attacked Judge Nor
ton.
The state based Its move partially
upon the established law theory of
"false In one statement, false In alt,
Attorney Lonergan for the defense,
Informed the court In asking for the
recess the defense would finish Us
case Monday. The state la expected
to take Tuesday for rebuttal, and the
testimony of Its alienists. WedneS'
day will be devoted to the final argu
ments, and instructions of the court,
according to the present outlook.
Calm Saturday.
' Banks In his Saturday testimony,
Indulged In no frenzy, or melodra
matic moves, but was calm and cool,
though he wore a worried look, and
signs of sleeplessness showed In his
face.
Under the piloting of Attorney Lon
ergan, Banks was questioned unui
his testimony led to the fateful morn.
ing of March 18. No word of regret
or remorse came from his lips.
Banks declared that "so many
threats were made against my life'
that I was under guard, whenever
went to an assembly of the "Good
Government Congress." They were
volunteer guards got. no pay. When
entered the Armory, the applause
was deafening, as the people knew
did so at the risk of my life."
He testified that County Judge
Earl Fehl and Henrietta B. Martin,
president of the "Congress" had asked
him to attend the meeting at Lake
Creek, because "I had made up my
mind to go to the mountains for
three or four weeks" the next day.
A packed courtroom heard Banks on
the stand.

Timea, official paper of the Associat
ed Students of the Medford high
school, under management of the
present ataff, Bill Cummlngs, editor;
Noel Benson, manager; Jack Wood,
advertising manager and their effici
ent corps of assistants, waa publish
ed and distributed last week.
This Issue waa one of the newsiest,
neatest and best edited of the year
and la a credit, not only to the ataff,
but to the Medford high school fac
ulty and student body.
As an evidence of the high type of
this publication In the contest for
school papers, conducted by the Press
club of Whitman college, at Walla
Walla, Wash., for this school year,
the Hl-Tlmea waa only excelled by
three school papers, Benson Polytech
nic and Grant high of Portland, and
Garfield high of Seattle, for all
schools In the Pacific northwest In
class A, composed of the larger cities.
This is a great compliment to the
hi -Times. The judging la for all the
issues of the year and not one special
Issue. The principal criticism, of the
local publications was fo.1 large heads
at the bottom of the first page and
for not placing the editorials In the
column under the mast-head, both
of which are merely opinions of the
Judges and are not serious criticisms.
Opinions of editors vary materially
regarding heads and make-up of
papers. The Press club compliment
ed the Hi -Times, by saying "First
page excellent, good type selections,
paper has fine news coverage and
well edited."
Among the Illustrations of the cur
rent Issue Is a picture of the cast

The Hl-Tlmes has been printed by
the Commercial Printing department
of the Mall Tribune and the manage
ment, superintendent and the me
chanical force want to take this op
portunity to pay their compliments
to Editor Cummlngs, Manager Ben
son, and all the other members of
the ataff directly connected with the
publication. They are a clean-cut,
gentlemanly class of young people,
have been energetic and enthusiastic
In their work, and It has been a de
