CIRCULATION (SWORN) OVER 4000

T WAS PRETTY BAu.
Favorite among the themes of trav

whenever a few f them meet, there
la certain to be an exchange of experi

constantly. It happen that this town

the worst hotel In the country.

American hoatelrtea. It ia not recorded
that any one of them la ao bad. that
Its guenta have aoutcht refuge from it
horrors In an almhoue. That distinc
tion, according to Dublin dispatch,
has been reserved for the hotels In the
Irish town of Donegal. s'
At the laat meeting of the Donegal
board of guardians, according to n
report In the Anaconda Standard, a
man named McOrory applied for ad
mission to the almshouse. It was not,
he said, that he was In need of alms;
he was able and willing1 to pay his way.
All he asked was permission to do so
ir. a manner that would injure his per
sonal comfort. jtlcOroary explained
that he bad -acquired a coniietence in
America, and had returned to Ireland
to pass hJ declining yearn In his na
tive town. He had found the hotels
so extremely bad that he wa! unable to
live In them comfortably no matter
how much he paid. ,
lie had. however. Investigated condl
lions at the almshouse and ,thry were
sired to be admitted to the institution
as a paying boarder. -Unless' -btr-ve-

leef and cabbage are good and where
the potatoes re Juat right. Hia appeal
Tras pathetic and the board granted his
petition. The frlce was fixed at Ave
dollar and a quarter a week and Mc
Oroary drove fo the almshouee in n
carriage, rejoicing In his good luck.'.
The prompt 'action ofthe bostrd of
guardians dinmisaes thei B.iciti that
McOroary la merely an eccentric. It In
dicates that his position was well tak
en and It must be concluded that Done
Rnl hotels are as bad as can be found
anywhere. ISome hotels drive men to
drink; some lead men to commit crimes
that land them In the penitentiary;
some even make men Insane but it
baa remained for Donegal to force a

JETTS CODE OF MORALS.
Curtiss Jett. the Kentucy murderer,
now under sentence of death, has made
a statement In which he reveals his
rystem; of phllosopny and code oi
hics. f Heading Jetfsl remarks. It Is
e.tsier to understand the proceedings
ttaat have given the now notorious
I ii cathitt ' county Its unenviable repu
tation. Like most criminals. Jett de
fend him. self and his "fellow feudists
on the broud ground that they are no
worse,' In Rome respects even better,
than other people who have managed
to keep out of trouble. -"Breathitt
county Is not half so bad
as It is painted," says Jett. "The Sal
vation Army would do better to stay
In Cleveland. - It's needed there just as
much as in Breathitt and could do
more ' good. You hwve more murders
f
here In Louisville than we have ; up
therej . The trouble Is that people
make' much of every little thing that
happens In the mountains. They, ex
aggerate everything that's the trou
ble, bust s fine people live there as
, i
anywhere In the world, just as honor
able and a lot more generous and hos
pitable than you have, and they are
brave." Then Mr. Jett goes on to ex
plairi his "underetaixJing of bravery.
"People say constantly that the so
called feud system is cowardly. If a
father is shot from ambush, do you
think his friends are going to give the
mani wha did it any better show?
Ain't turn about fair play? Anyone
who Is cquainted with the people will
tell j you ' they are physically as cour
ageous as lions. Men are' shot from
ambush.' not because of fear, but be
cause that is, under the circumstances,
thejonly fair way to do' it." J
Thai is the system of an' eye for an
eye and a tooth for a tooth with a
vengeance. A cowardly murder calls
for retaliation In kind, otherwise vio
lence Is done in the spirit of fair play
But askJe from this grotesque; feature
of ' Jetfs defense of feud -murders, be

Editor Statesman: The usually care
ful and correct Salem correspondent of
the Oragonian has certainly done the
Secretary of State an injustice in re
porting? that he was held up in the
matter of supporting Superintendent
BickersYf or re-election by certain local
iiifluerwesim the threat of said intlu-
tr.ces to withdraw their support unless
their blddins: were complied with. In
the first place it Is unlike the secre
tary to heed such threats, and especial
ly when the alleged basis for the de
mand is considered, towlt, , the asser
tion thet Mr. Bickers 'peviniWed the
employes of the Reform School to col
onize in Salem JNo. 2T, In the primary
contest last year. ,
In the second place, the report must
be Incorrect, for the reason that every
citizen of Salem knows that Governor
Geer's friends carried Salem No. .2 by
more than one hundred and fifty ma
jority; while all the employes at the
Hef orm School, men and women, num
ber but twenty. Indeed, if the entire
Reform School, boys employes and all.
bhould have moved; bodily into Salem
Xo. 2 and had all voted against the
administration, it would not have
changed the result.
It is now recalled that the said in
fluences did complain, at the time, that
Dr. Calbreath was permitting some col
onization, in Salem No.. 2, which, how
ever, was not done, .but the board very
wisely re-elected him to succeed him
self. But the idea that the Secretary
of State was influenced by certain local
representations f that Bickers "colon
ized" the largest precinct in Marion
county with ten men and nine women,
a hd' therefore must be punished by de
capitation Is too" transparently thin to
be respectably, gau?. ; 5 . ; -

CORVALLIS ' GROWERS ' ARE
BUILDIN& A MODERN t PRUNE
PROCESSING . AND PACKING
PLANT DRYING WILL ) SOON
BE COMPLETED A LARGE CROP
Prune drying- In the .valley is rapid
ly drawing to & close, in fact, 'most all
the driers in the low. UndAj have al
ready been closed for the season,', but
most of those on the uplaods are still
running full blast, and the rains of the
past week have hindered . materially
with prune picking, besides beating
the fruit from the trees and causing
it to crack, but In spite of all this.
very few prunes in Oregon will be
lost and the state . will supply nearly
30,000,000 pounds of the finest fruit on
earth, towards filling the world's de
mand for prunes.
The growers are rapidly hauling
their fruit to this market, where it is
being processed and packed, and as
rapidly as ca r s can t be . secured; for
warded to Eastern , - and European
markets to fill contracts already made.
The Willamette Valley Prune Associa
tion is shipping ao average of about
two cars a day, and Tillson & Co. are
averaging one and a half cars a day,
and could ship two cars daily if the
cars were available, jt i
; An article appearing in yesterday's
issue of the Coryallis Times. shows
the progress being made with the large
prune crop in the vicinity of Corvallls.
They are now constructing a process
ing and packing: plant similar to the
one in Salem, which is partially man
aged by H. S. Glle, of this city.' The
article follows:
"Operations have ended for this
season at the big prune drier. AH
the appliances have been cleaned up
and put away, and the last of the
force of working people quitted' -the
place Tuesday evening; The product
of dried) prunes is in the bins ,at the
plant, going through the sweating
process. It is very large in volume,
the aggregate being1 very close to the
estimate of Manager Jphnson about
the time, drying began. In two or
three weeks, after the sweating pro
cess ends, the sacking" of the prunes
for removal o the Corvwllis process
ing plant will begin. ' '
At the processing1 works, operations
are expected to begin in about three
weeks.' By that time all the machinery
will be in readiness, and a proper
force of operatives will have been se
cured. Meantime the Paddock crop
and the output of the orchard former
ly owned .toy F. P. Sheasgreen are be
ing hauled to the works. The same is
true of the prunes from the B. W.
Johnson orchard. The Henry Stone
prunes, which were In the drier at the
time of the late fire, nave been sold.
The figure "given out as the price at
which the product sold Is 3 cents per
pound. ' t ,
"Operations Jn all the driers in the
vicinity have ended, except in the
drier In the Rose orchard, and the
commercial drier of Charles Blakeslee,
in Corvallls. and both of these are
likely to close down today.
"TJie prune market is not opening
up as favorably as might have been
desired or as ' was expected.- Prices
have been somewhat off during several
days past, though a better tone now
manifests itself." . -

PRUNE MARKET WEAK
STRONG COMPETITION FOR IM
MEDIATE SALES HAS FORCED
PRICES DOWN.
As a result of the poor judgment in
certain prune dealers, especially those
in Southern Oregon, the stability of the
prune market is well nigh destroyed
and prunes are being offered at any
old price, with few takers. Eastern
dealers holding off in an effort to buy
at still lower prices- The result is that
the Willamette Valley - Prune Associa
tion has withdrawn their prunes from
the market altogether, and are simply
running on orders already placed. They
are maintaining Uhe old price of a 2'.
cent and 3-cent basis, and insist that
prunes are worth that amount, despite
the depressed condition of the mar
ket. They have every reason to feel
confident, since the California crop has
fallen far short of, expectations, the
shortage in Santa Clara .county alone
heing one-half larger than the ; entire
crops of Oregon and Washington.
: A good many prunes are changing
hands daily among growers and local
Independent dealers. Yesterday TIll
son & Company sold ten carloads to an
Eastern dealer for immediate delivery
on a basis of 14 cents per pound.
! Portland dealers have entirely with
drawn from the market, refusing to
cither buy or rell preferring to wait un
til the market settles at some point, or
recovers its stability. The worst diffi
culty at present is that marry farmers
are not in a position ' to - hold . their
prunes untU .the right time, and must

force them on the market at any pric

places them at the mercy of the buyers.
Tillson A. Company's prune packing
plant on Trade street Is at present one
of the busiest places in the city. The
plant is newly built throughout, and is
arranged in a manner ; by which the
least possible amount of labor Is neces

crowded through the grader and pro
