Portland Chester C. Halloway, an expert machinist of Los Angeles, 50 years of at;e, shot and perhaps fatal ly wounded his prety young wife, an operator at the central office of the Pacific States Telephone Company, Saturday night, at the home of the woman's sister, Mrs. Stella Dawson. Mrs. Dawson and her two small children witnessed the tragedy, and her little 6-year-old son suffered a fractured arm In falling from a chair that was overturned by his aunt as she fell wounded to the floor. As the woman fell her clothlnn, which was Ignited by the close prox imity of the weapon when It was fired, began to burn fiercely. With her bare hands Mrs. Dawson succeed ed in extinguishing the burning clothing, but both she and her sister were painfully burned. The shooting was the result of years of domestic troubles. Ten years ago they were married In Kansas and a little daughter, 5 years old, has added to their difficulties. Kach wanted possesslun of the chHd and It was through her that once they were reconciled. Halloway was captured by the po lice as he was leaving the house. May Add Poultry Exhibit. Portland Poultry fanciers of Port land have opened negotiations with the Country Club and Livestock As sociation with a view of having the regular annual exposition of poultry embodied In the Pacific National meet to be held here the third week of September. The matter will come up at an early meeting of the execu tive committee.. As has been announced, the Coun try Club and Livestock Association will hang up a total prize list of $40, 000 to cover both the harness races and the exposition. The cash prize i announced in the racing card of the early closing events aggregate $12, 000, and a number of specials In ad dition to the ten scheduled events will probably be added in which large purses will be contested for. It Is safe to say that close to $20,000 In premiums will be given out for the successful contestants in the live stock exposition. Governor Charged With Graft. Salem Charged with having kept $10,000 state money unlawfully, Governor Chamberlain will be made defendant in an action at law to re cover the money for the state by L. II. McMahon, the Salem attorney, who brought a suit In the circuit court against ex-Secretary of State F. I. Dunbar and secured a Judgment for $103,000 for the state money paid to the Secretary of State In fees and appropriated to his own use by that official, in defiance of the con stitution. Attorney McMahon promises to bring the action in the October term of court. The Dunbar case is before the Supreme court now on appeal. KosebtirK Men Arrested. Roseburg United States Deputy Marshal W. B. Griffith, of Portland, arrested Louis Kohlhagen, Joseph Gilpin and L. S. Shipley on indict ments returned against them in Gov ernment land-fraud cases last week. In each case the amount of bonds was fixed at $1000, which were furnished by the defendants. These arrests are the result of the rush for Jackson and Josephine coun ty lands, which were filed upon at the land office in this city last April. It has later developed that nearly every claim has either a squatter or a mineral contestant, and the result Is that nearly all of those who flledl upon the land at that time, some 20 in number, are liable to arrest on the charge of perjury, the charge upon which the three Roseburg men were arrested. Camphor Orejron Product. Astoria Dr. Hawley, the forestry expert, who Is making an examina tion of the lodged off lands in this vicinity, believes that he has made a discovery that may result in greater benefit than was expected.. In dis tilling the roots of hemlock trees he has produced an appreciable quantity of camphor and while his test, with a very primitive furnace, must bo verified by the National laboratory at Washington, yet he is confide it that the hemlock roots and stump., carry enough camphor to be of com mercial value. Murder in Sheep Camp, La Grande James Moore, the sheepherder, who killed Allen John son near Telocaset last week, was brought to La Grande Sunday night by Sheriff Childers. The killing took place on a sheep ranch 40 miles from here, following an alternation between Johnson and Moore. John- iion made as II to draw nnr gun, ac cording to an eye witness, but his ap parent purpose was frustrated by Moore getting hla mnchlne working Brat The victim la a aegro and waa about $0 years old. AIRSHIP INVENTOR IN TROUBLE. Morrrll Tries to Attach Checks for Ball Money. San Francisco, June 30. John A. Morrell, inventor and builder of the big airship which burst on its trial trip in Berkeley recently, and which resulted In 15 members of its crew being injured, was arrested upon a warrant sworn to by Alexander Ota, who charges Morrell with obtaining $3000 from him by false pretenses. Certified checks to the amount of $4000 were found upon Morrell when searched at tho city prison. Attor neys for Ota immediately situ red a writ of attachment for the amount of the checks. The police, however, re tained possession of them and Judge Cabanlss released Morrell on his own recognizance pending the settlement of the question whether the bail money, for which purpose the air ship Inventor said it was furnished him by friends, ran he attached.

While there la no question that the fameus Hood Kiver strawberry crop is glowing smaller each year, about 100 cars of this toothsome trult will be shipped from this poiut before the season ia over. Had it not been fcr the adverse weather conditions, iuteirupted trans portation facilities and the accident to the ditch there is no doubt that the berry season this year would have been fully as good as last year as far as prioea are concerned and perhaps better. During the early part ot the season when berries should have ooma in plentifully and wbeu there was a great demand lor thein looally at bigrj prices on aooonut ot the Portland Kom l-'eatival and the festivities at tending the presenoe;ot the wet vessels at Seattle, cold weather kept them from liiieuing. The high prioea that could have been received for them then would have helped very mater ially to boost the average price, whl.'h, it is estimated will this year be in the neighborhood cf $2.10 or perhaps $150. A little later when berriis oommenoed to come plenti fully washouts in Montana and at other points between here and the eaBtiiu markets made it ditlioult to plui'i the large sbipments that wei lieiug sent out daily to advan tage Notwitbitandlng these difficul ties the crop will bring a large amount of morey Into the valley owing to go d ii anagement in plaoing orders bol! Iiy the Union and the Davidson r'n it Company. It was not expeoted th t ti.e high average price received for teuies last year when the crop wiik h i-bort one everywhere would be real 2 il, but both this year's and last yei.t ' i rices show that there Is a line pr- :a ,u Hood River berries and that nicy vbo decreased their aoreage tin ... ears ago and out short the crop v. i ' 1 ; ' uve made more money in the 1 i i o years than they did In the fi.i.ii when beiries sold for less mi ii' v. A- in quality, berries were much liei n than last being large, better dxvel 'ped and of finer flavor. At tbi null the season will still last for a week or ten days it Is estimated that tbs oi'ii will amount in round nura Ihmh to about 100 oars. Of this about fill ph. will have gone out In lefiiger uu r i"ni and the rest In express ship nun a The number ot orates shipped will miiount to about 00,000 and beny groi is are expeoted to receive 1150, 001) w loh will include piaottoally the wlm'.i urop ot the valley. Although tbs seaMst is still expected to Ir.dt tor ten days and the beiries of the upper valley are yet to be bandied blt' Mpments are over for the season, tier, u-s are still coming In from the lov ; valley in small amounts, a fact th it .1 unusual and aooounted for by tli; I n.ness with which they ripened in t ' early part of the season.

Canned Frnlt to England. 1 ..i Amerioau consul at Liverpool rei o. ta that there has been a deoided tailing oft in the Impoitation of can ned fiuita into England irom the Uni ted States during the last two years. In 1U06 the shipment of apricots, pears, and peaches aggregated 273,000 oases, while in 1007, 161,000 cases only were imported. Ibe consul lurtber says: "As the importation of aprioots and peaches from the United States declined, there was a proportionate increase In ship ments from Spain and Portugal, where the fruit was of excellent quality. No pears however, are shipped from these last named countries to Eng land. "Duriua the past four years the prices of California canned fruit have advauced about 25 percent. This has resulted in the extension of the fruit trade bteweeu England and Spain and Italy, which countiiea have the ad vantage of the United States in the item of cheap labor. "Tomatoes are imported in increas ing quantities eaoh year from Italy. The quality of these tomatoes is stated to be good and the prices low. Large quantities ot canned tomatoes are also sbipi ed now each season from Italy to 'be eastern part of the United Stat s and the American shipment to tl.ii market are much emailed than torn nly. It Is suggested by one of the leading importers in Liverpool that the American tomatoes are fre quently packed before tbey are fully rips, and that this piactice renders them undesirable for use. The Italian tomi toes are carefully selected, aod are only packed after they have at tain d a ripe and riob ooloi. It the American packers desire to increase their shipments of tomatoes to this country, they must excerolse the greatett care iu their selection and preparation for the English market. "Caaued apples are being imported iu Ifltreased quantities from Canada and are sold ut successfully competi tive prioea with American apples. California apples packed In oases seem io improve eaob year, and the English demand for them is increas ing, owing to the flue condition of the fruit and the excel eut manner of packing Last year the sale of Cali iforuia Bpplis in this country exceed ed the sales nt auy previous year, and the testimony ot all the fruit impor ters iu Liverpoel is that these apples are sluioct invariably fairly aud prop erly eiHdefLiiHit the smaller spples art )Hpt wrateiy, huo mai me andud that the mark quslity of the fruit, .that if greater care - ibe selection, gradiug, - ,,-nn ot American fruits there .aid be a gratifying iucrease iu the English demand. i i. i
