Gill company of Portland as agents for publishers under contract to provide school books for the children of Oregon, the books will be placed In the hands of the students in time for the opening of school, in the opinion of E. F. Carlton, deputy superintendent of instruction. The publishers are under contract with the state to place the books in the hands of the students at a stipulated price and the state has no'in terest in the manner in which the pub-' Ushers carry out their end of the con-j tract so long as the books are forthcom ing promptly, Mr. Carlton stated this morning. . Willamette valley publishers were re ported some time ago to be dissatisfied with the margin of profit allowed by the Gill company to retail book sellers who are asking a margin of 20 per cent as against 15 por cent offered. It is undestood here that the Uilr company has announced their intention of open-; ing a distributing agency of their own in Salem if book stores already estab lished here refuse to handle the books on the 15 per cent basis. A report has reached the office of the state superintendent of instruction to the effect that a retailor in a small town, dissatisfied with the margin al lowed by the contract price had ar ranged a new schedule of his own in excess of the stipulated prices. This, if true, is in d&rect violation of the con tract between the state and the pub lishers and the Gill company has beea asked to investigate the report.

Putnam and niece came I np from M.edford yesterday for a brief visit in the eity, registering at the Marion hotel. Benton Bowers of Ashland, is in the eity today looking after matters con nected with, the state lime board. ment and imprisonment of Ham Kaut man, Houlton, Or., newspaperman, were discovered by Millar f.. Mcuucurist, assistant to the attorney general, w.io so Teports to Governor Olcott in con nection with his findings during his in vestigation of the situation at the gov ernor's request. Investigation of the circumstances surorunding Eautzman's imprisonment was urged upon the gov ernor by a committee from the state editorial association in resolutions which intimated that Kautzrnaa wub the victim of persecution. Kautzman is now in the Multnomah county jail to which place he was transefcred following his sentence by a jury in uoiumoia county. McGilchrist 's report Btates that Kautzman had been convicted by the Federal courts in 1913, prior to his re cent troubles in Columbia county, for sending obscene matters through the mails, namely copies of his newspapor, and had served a sentence in a federal jail. . Kautzman was first sentencea to six months in jail and to pay a fine of $500 on a charge of publishing an obsceno -ar- tide in his paper, the Houlton Herald. He was paroled from the bench as to the jail sentence on the understanding that he conduct himself m a law abiding manner. He continued his tirade against the prosecuting attorney, the report states, in direct violation of the termB of his parole which was later revoked and Kautzman committed to jail. "Kautzman was indicted by a grand jury representative of the county at large and was found guilty by a jury chosen from' a special venire selected from distant parts of the county," the report state. "Businessmen and form ers from in and around Clatskanie, Rain ier and other outlyirtg towns composes the jury. He was represented by At torneys W. . U 'Ren and W. C. Robin son in the case in consideration. This would seem to indicate that Kautzman had a fair trial, and this seems to be the universal opinion of the people of St. Helens." .

Inventor Of Berry Picker Setks Market For Patent Having invented a berry picker and conveyor, an inventor living in Port land has written the Salem Commer cial club asking whether anyone iu this section of tho country is interested in Biich a. labor saving device. The inventor states that he has ap plied for a patent and i now willing to sell state rights to the highest bid dor. In telling of his invention and what it will do, the inventor writes as follows: 4 'I can do tho same amount of pick ing with ono-half tho amount of labor. Tn the old style way picking by hand there is one-half the time lout by mov ing the hands to and from the berry boxes to empty tho hand, as it takes just about so long to move the bands from tho bush to the box and back again for another handf ul, as it does to pick a handful. Just try it and see for yourself. 'Ik'sidc, you can hold only about 8 or 10 berries and if you want to try to hold more than that, they will roll out of the hand. With my device you just simply keep on picking una drop ping them and there is a continuous stream of berries from both hands, as I make them for both hands. ''This picker is just as good for l icking cherries as you need never got wn off the ladder. You just keep ou picking thorn as long as you. can reach t i in . This goes also for pole beans, pcan, tomatoes, hazlenuts, Ihuckleber ries, cranberries and in fact anything that is puked." i a Harvest Hand Found With Skull Crushed Yesterday Spokane, "Wash., Sept. 11.
