er of another one-fourth undivided in
terest, Jacob Lempen Penrin of an un
divided one-fourth interest, Lorraine
F. Twedell of one-eighth interest and
Velma F. Twedell of a one-eighth inter
est. As the property consisted of two
lots with houses, and could not very
well be divided it was ordered that'
it be sold and George W. Hubbs ap
pointed Tefcree, with authority to ad
vertise and sell the property.

may exist between retail book seller
and the J. K. 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.

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."
