FOR BOOK AGENTS MURDER.
Richard Hinkle Arrested in Grant County
the Second Time.

Richard Hinkle Arrested in Grant County
the Second Time.
Richard Hinkle, accused of being an
accomplice in the murder of George
W. Scott,-t the book agent, near lee,
in 1895, and who was indicted at the
May term of court, just closed, has
been arrested and lodged in Jail at
Canyon City. Hinkle and Bare were
arrested soon after the discovery of
the remains of Scott, which had been
burned in cabin with the intention
of concealiug the crime and the for
mer was discharged. Bare was con-
victed at the October, 1896, term of the
circuit court, and received life sem
tence in the penitentiary. 1t is
thought that the late grand jury was
furnished with additional evidence
against Hinkle, as it is now over a
year since his arrest and acquittal by
the grand jury on the same charge.
The crime for which these two men
were arrested and for which Bare is
serving sentence was most brutal.
George w. Scott, the victim, was on
tour of the interior counties, engaged
in the sale of books, and when muir
dered was in remote portion of Grant
county, near the Crook county line.
After numbering the lone peddler, the
assassin or assassins carried the body
to deserted cabin, which they burned.
and, as they thought, covered up all
clews to the crime.

a Brooklyn Minister Has Discovered a
Process by, Which 1t Can Be Done.
The New York Herald is responsible
for the statement that the process Of
photographing sound waves and from
the plate reproducing the original
sound has been successfully carried
out by the Rev. A. S. Ferguson, a
Baptist minister, now living in Brook
lyn. The astonishing part of his dis
covery, he says, is the simplicity of the
process by which this has been ac-
complished. There is no ponderous or
complicated machinery. Only two
discs each about seven inches in di-
ameter, revolved by ordinary cranks.
One of these, the recorder, is hori-
zontal. The second, the reproducer,
revolves perpendioularly.
Speaking of his inve ntion, Mr.. Fer
guson said:
''About six years ago it struck me
that it would be possible to photograph
sound by manipulating ray of light
and reproducing the sounds recorded
by such manipulation upon sensitized
plate. The 'lightophone,' as 1 call
this instrument, 1 have secured by
patent, both here and in England.
ST am now working on machine to
not only record sound, but to repro
duce it in typewriting, and I am con-
fident that can do so. Many scien-
tifc men here and in Europe have

THE WORLDS WHEAT.
Poor Crops in Some Sections Offset b.

| Poor Crops in Some Sections Offset by
| Good Ones Elsewhere.
A summary of crop estimates for the
| world indicates at least as much wheat
as was produced last year, and possibly
more, says the San Francisco Com
mercial News, bad reports from France
and portions of Russia having been Off
set by advances at other equally i'm
portant points. Particularly is the
gain appal ent in this country where
developments have proven an effective
drag upon any upward inclination in
speculative values. European author
tiles, who are ever found among the
proclainers of high prices, profess to
derive much satisfaction from the
French situation, which is said to war;
rant the expectation that 10000
quarters will be needed. Offers of
Indiana wheat are at the same time
passed by as of little moment, since
that section has been put down as a
non-eXporter, and must, therefore, be
regarded as having, under most favor
able conditions, little wheat to spare.
Against the unfavorable items the i'm
provement in the Upited States has |
small weight, although it is quite |
likely that this will much more than |

French prospect. Moreover. specula-
tion has already expressed its views of
the matter in declining market, so
that the ultra bullish view seems for
the present, at least, to be rather
thankless.
On this coast, but especially in Cali

THE SAME OLD ACCIDENT.
Pulled Loaded Gun by the MuZzIe and
If Went off

Pulled Loaded Gun by the MuzzIe and
1t Went of.
David Miller, the village school mas.
ter at Wamic, had just recovered from
spell of fever, and last Saturday
thought he would get his shotgun out
and clean it preparatory to enjoying
the sport of wing shooting before re-
suming his duties in the school room
on Monday. The gun was loaded, and
when Mr.. Miller picked it up by the
muzzle the hammer caught on some
thing and discharged the load. His
left arm was in close proximity to the
gun and received the entire load OF
shot between the shoulder and elbow.
The flesh was terribly mangled, though
the bone was not broken, but the main
artery was severed, and Mr.. Miller
came near bleeding to death before
medical aid could be summoned.
DR.. N. G. Powne, of Tygh. was called
and succeeded in checking the flow OF
blood, and patched up the injured
member so that Mr.. Miller will have a
pretty good arm when the wound heals.
At last accounts he was recovering
from his injuries, though it will be a
month or more before he will be able
again enter the school room.

citizens of Baker City made the visitors
feel that wise choice was made in
selecting that city as their place of

BRINGING TREES INTO BEARING
Some Valuable Suggestions by Professor
HendricK.

l
Prof. Hendrick, botanist and horti
culturalist at the state agricultural col
lege. makes the following suggestions
regarding treatment of trees that dc
not bear fruit:
Mr. Schanno, of the fourth horti-
cultural district. has called my atten-
tion to the fact that trees in his district,
| especially apple trees from eight to
| ten years old, have never borne fruit,
and asks my opinion as to how it may
be remedied.
There may be several causes. The
barrenness may be in the variety, as
the Northern Spy; it may be caused
by a soil too rich, or by over cultiva-
tion. The last two conditions are
most common, and are not infrequent
in Oregon. 1t is one of the three, |
take for granted is the cause in Hood
River and the fourth district. Orchar-
dists have these methods of bringing
trees into bearing: Root praning,
summer pruning and saving some crop
in the orchard.
Root pruning. ny cntI ing off q part
of the food supply. deprives the leaves
of their usual ucuri=hment, and pre-
vents their using the nutritious matter
on hand. The branches ere therefore
retarded in their growth, food accumu-
lates and fruit buds are formed, be- |
cause the energies of the tree are |
diverted from plant-growth to fruit |
bud formation. Root pruning is ac-
complished by digging trench the |
width of a spade at a radius of several
feet from the trunk and from two to
three feet deep. In so doing enough
of the roots will be cut to secure the
object sought, and should be performed
in winter. The treatment is somewhat
harsh, and must be done very judi
ciously.
In summer pruning, by depriving
tree of part of its roiiage, the exu5er-
ance of growth is checked, because tho
of food is greatly him
1ered. Summer pruning is best ac-
by cutting off a few of the
smaller branches not required in form
ng the frame of the tree, and after the
young shoots haye made a growth of
several inches: by pinching them back
;wo or three inches, fruit spurs will be
he result. 1t is easy to overdo sum
ner pruning, and the remedy should
,e resorted to only when absolutely
and then care must be ex-
,rcised.
The last remedy for non-bearing
rees is most frequently employed, and
las the least Objectionable features.
n an orchard where the soil is 50 rich
hat trees become too luxuriant in fol-
age crop of grain for one year is a
cry effectual and convenient way of
hrowing the tree into bearing.

Wednesday evening the Baldwin
opera house was filed to the doors by an
audience assembled to enjoy the enter
tainment given by Mt. Hood Camp
and Cedar Circle, W. of w. The pro-
gram rendered was of high order.
and merited the many hearty applauses
it received, having been rendered in a
most. perfect manner from beginning
to finish. The address of Mr.. Faulken-
burg upon the aims and objects OF
Woodcraft was an able effort and was
well received by his hearers. Mrs
Van Orsdall also gave a pleasant ad-
dress upon the objects of the Circle,
succeeding well in holding the atten-
tion of the audience. The entertain
ment closed with social dance that
proved happy source of amusement
to the guests of the two orders.

TWO WAR SHIPS COMING.
Monitors Monterey and Monadnock to
Visit Portland.

Secretary of the Navy Long and the
| officers Ct the battlc-ship Oregon, de-
spite the latter's disincliuation to take
any risk that might ensue in bringing
the warship over tho Columbia river
bar, do not propose that the people of
the state of Oregon and of Portland
shall be sighted. Instead of the Ore
gon, there shall be two United States
warships enter the Columb mbia river and
participate in the coming Fourth of
July celebration at Portland, says the
Telegram. These ships will be the
coast defense monitors Monterey and
Monadnock, and on the former will
come the officers of the battle-ship Ore
gon to receive the silver punchbowl
and service to be presented by the peo-
pie of Oregon, in recognition of the
honor given the state in the naming of
the splendid warship.
This sending the two monitors
means the presence in Portland of the
largest force of bluejackets and ma
rfnes that city will haye as yet wit
messed. The compliments of the
Monterey and Monadnock combined
number close to 900 men. That of the
Oregon is less than 600.

paper will give more detailed &C
count, but this much can be said now,
that the hest and brightest talent Of
the city has been engaged for the
event. and novelties are under way
which are very attractive. 1t is to be
hoped that large audience will be
there when the curtain is raised for
the first act.
If asked the question "Have yot got
stomach?" it would be safe on gen.
eral principles, to answer eyes" But,
if you are sure of it, that is, if you ever
feel any distress after eating or any
pains Of whatever description in the
region of the stomach, you have got
something more than an ordinary
stomach: In other words, you have got
diseased stomach. The stomach is
powerful muscle, and the proper
remedy for tired muscle is rest. Try
the Shaker Digestive Cordial, for this
product not only contains digested
food, which will nourish the system
without any work on the part of the
diseased organs, but it aids the diges-
tiou of other foods as we'll. You can
test it's value in your case for the trifi- \
ing sum of 10 cents. Sample bottles
at this price ere carried by all drug
gists.
