Daily enterprising dealers have sent motor trucks down over the High way, and so far, although the local tanks of the Standard Oil Co. were dry all last week, delaying spraying oper ations has been averted. Whatever sur Ins was available after orchard ists were supplied was told to long distance tourists and local owners of passenger cai s. Bill Hart Accepts When Wm. S. Hart, motion picture actor, was informed Friday that he had been made the Democratic nominee for sheriff in Hood River county, Oregon, V a written-in movement" he i-aid he would gladly accept the nomination of his constituents in that county would allow him to reside in Los Angeles and ook alter Ins duties nv Periodica visits. I mean it," said the nominee. Hood River's Pill Hart says he" is willing to relinipjMi all claims to a place on the ticket this fall to Big Pill, the movy actor. "Let Mr. Hart, the mow star, come right along," says the local officer. I'll use all the influence I've got to help mn get elected, two Hill Harts. I reckon, would make a team stumping the Apple Valley." Sheriff Johnson says he will throw no obstacles in the way of the movy star. Let him come here to God's country," qUOth Mr. Johnson, and I'll make him my first deputy while he is here, in older that he may be employed and get experience should the citizens choose him at the November election." Crawford Attempts Suicide Again R. Clay Crawford is recovering from a second attempt to enmmit suicide at his ro im at the Hotel Oregon last Sat urday. A bullet from a revolver left only a had t-calp wound. The blow, however, felled Crawford and he was bruised about the head and back from the fall against h table. A quantity of iodine was also found in his room. Crawford three week ago attempted his life in Minneapolis, shooting him self in the left breast. The bullet was deflected by a rib. Despondency over hi involved affairs and an estrange- m nl of his wife has been given as reason for the acts on both occasions. Crawford is held here under hail pending action of the grand jury on a charge of securing funds by false pre- I tenses from William Pailey, principal f the high school.
