four miles southwest Of this city, is
having a big job of grating done this
year. He has already changed six
acres of French petite prune trees in
to bearers of the sugar prune, a
new variety, noted for its large size
and abundance of saccharine matter
He will continue this grating until all
the petites have given way to the new
species.
The French prunes have not been a
success, owing to their liability to sue
cumb to the chill rains of early spring
but the sugar prunes is known as a
harder fruit, that will stand any
amount of dampness, provided the
frosts lets the trees alone. AS DR.
CardwelIs orchard is in the thermal
belt" where late frosts seldom occur
there is little fear of this latter vista
ton.
The prune trees now being grated
are 13 years old. DR.. Cardwell had
them cut back pretty we'll toward the
trunks, leaving from ten to a dozen
branches, upon which the scions of the
sugar prune are grated. He says
the trees will soon be bearing, as well
as ever, as the growth Of the trunks
will be in no way retarded by the graf
ting process.

DuudaIe Still In It.

SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 13.-Dug-
dales latest move in the baseball world
has set the fans guessing more than
anything else that has happened for
some time Backed up by influential
men, he has purchased Athletic Park
from the Seattle Electric company, for
$4,000 Coming at a time when it was
thought Cupid Dugdale was out OF
the game entirely, it has entirely put a
stop to a line of reasoning that Dug
dale is a dead one, and there is feel
ing of bewilderment.
According to dispatches from Spo-
kane, Butte and Salt Lake, Seattle has
not been mentioned in connection with
the National League, and whether
Dugdale has bought the park, proposing
to stay with Lucas, or in the interest of
the Pacific Coast League, is uncertain.
The property purchased by Dugdale
is considered the best place for a base
Oall park in the city on account Of its
central location and popularity with
the fans.
At the close of last season it was an

PAGE ATE SENATOR'S LUNCH
The Scion Liked Apples, But So Did
the Boy.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 13.-Sen-
ator Cockrell of Missouri makes
couple of aples do for luncheon every
day, maunching them wherever he
chances to be, either in the senate
chamber or committee room. YeSter-
day when the pangs of hunger over
took him he was in the senate chamber
listening to speech by Senator Lodge.
He claDped his hands for a page, to
whom he gave a note TO his private
secretary, asking him to send his daily
supply of apples. The page delivered
the note the secretary gave him the
apples, and the boy departed.
Half an hour later, the senator, by
this time exceedingly hungry, sent
a second note to his secretary asking
what had become of the apples. The
secretary replied that the apples had
been sent by the boy who brought the
first note.
Then the senator went cunning for
the boy. Calling the chief of pages,
the tall Missourian pointed out the
yOungster he thought carried the note,
and he was marched over to the SEN
atOr's desk.
Are you the boy that went for my
apples?" he asked him.
Yes, sir" the page replied.
We'll what did Won do with them 2"
Why" said the youth, Il ate them.
Your secretary gave me two apples,
without saying anything about them,
and 1 supposed he meant them for me-"
The senator laughed, sent the boy
this time to the restaurant for his IA
vorite fruit, and was soon regaling
himself.

EVICTED BY SHERIFF.
Mrs. Richen Removed From her Home
Built on Disputed Ground.

SUMPTER, Or, Jan. 13.-Mrs. Dicey
E Richen has been evicted from her
home by Deputy Sheriff Jesse Snow,
under orders from the court. Mrs.
Richen departed without raising any
opposition when the deputy and as
sistant went to her place with a wagon
for the purpose of removing herself
and effects from the disputed ground.
Another home had been procured for
her by the Women of Woodcraft.
The eviction has been looked forward
to for some time, as the claimants of
the land were determined that she
should be removed at any cost, hold
ing that as long as she was in I'M
disputed possession Of her premises,
their title to the property was cloud
ed. Mrs. Richen. also in order to make
her future contention good, was equal
ly determined that only force would
disputed territory.
The receipt held by the present
claimants was issued by the La Grande
land office, and Mrs. Richen, through
her attorney, will enter a protest
against the general land office issuing
a patent, and will ask the setting aside
of the receipt given by the local land
office. The contention, it is claimed,
will be on the ground that no work
whatever has been done on the placer
ground, and that not the first princi-
pie of the law has been complied with.
This naturally will be rebutted by the
present holders, and the case promises
to be an interesting one.
Considerable Indignation has been
expressed by residents here over the
eviction, as the widow is not in good
health and is somewhat aged. There
is a foot of snow on the ground, and
almost zero weather has prevailed
here for some time past 1t is con-
tended that the WOman'S residence did
not in the least interfere with the title,
and, as the owners were offered rent
for the ground until spring, their ac-
ton in having her removed at this time
is looked upon as rather heartless.

day, To-day Place Is Deserted.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Jan. 13.-Callen-
tes which was a town Of 1000 popula
ton. has been virtually wiped OF the
map, and in day at that. Yesterday
Calientes, which is just over the Neva-
da line. was a busting little city. TO
dav it is almost deserted. All this Is
due to a change in the line Of Senator
Clarke's trans continental railroad
which is building toward the Pacific
coast.
The route was run seventy miles be-
yond Calientes and it required only
twenty-four hours for the population
to bundle up and build town on the

REVISION OF THE TARlFf I
Practically Settled That Nothing Will
 Be Done for a Year.

Washington, Dec. S.-President Roosevelt is conferring daily with members of both the senate and house of representa- tives on the subject oe tariff revision and how the work shall be accomplished. He has found that strong opposition exists to the consid- eration of the subject by congress at an extraordinary session to be held next spring and it can be said that the idea of calling an extra session for next spring practically has been abandoned. It has been pointed out to the president that it would be near ly impossible for the committees of congress to prepare tariff measure for preseptation to the house before July l, next. Representative Watson of Indiana had a conference with tbe president today.
 While no decision yet has been reach ed regarding the revision of the tariff it is pretty well understood now that if revision should be decided upon, an extraordinary session of congress will be called to meet next fall. The sub ject will be taken up at that session and it's consideration probably will be taken up and concluded at the regular session next December. This arrange ment, it is believed, will enable con gress to dispose of the tariff question at a comparatively early date in the regular SeSSicn.

A BLUFF THAT WENT
Turkey Assents to Austria's s Energetic
 Demand.

COnstantinople, Dec. S.-The porte has yielded to Austrian demands re- garding the detention of Austrian mails and the incident may be regard ed as closed. The threatened compli- cations have therefore been averted. The Austrian ultimatum demanded the dismissal of the director of GUS toms, the secretary general of the vil- layet, and the chief of police of Scu- tari within three days, failing which Austria would make a naval demon- stration at Salonica and following the example of France on the occasion Of the occupation of the Island of Nifty lene, would demand a settlement of all other pending questions, including the official recognition of schools under Austrian protection. The energetic at titude of Austria in ordering a squad ron of warships to be made ready to sail induced the desired action on the part of Turkey with the result that the difficulty has been tided over.

DOUD MUST 60 HIGHER
St. Louis U. 5. Circuit Court Denies
 Writ in Denver Case.

St. Louis, Dec. S.-The opinion of Judge Sanborn of the United States circuit court denying the application fer writ of habeas corpus made by Michael Doud of Denver who, was inn prisoned by the supreme court of Colo rado on a charge of contempt growing out of the recent election, was made public today.
 The writ was denied on the ground that the ai1tion of the supreme court of Colorado is Teviewable only by writ of error from the supreme court of the United States and that precedent esta- blished the latter tribunal as a re- viewing court, rather than a federal circuit judge.
 The opinion states that the federal circuit court has a Jurisdiction but as the applicant can also obtain relief through the supreme court of the United S6stees and a final ruling can be obtained from that court, the appli- cation for writ was denied.
 The date for arguments was first set for Dec. 10, but Judge Sanborn stated today, that owing to the inability of the attorneys representing both sides to be present in St. Louis on that date, il was agreed that briefs should be sub- mitted in place of the personal appear ance of the attorneys.

Growing Russian Disposition to Leave the Black Sea
AGITATORS Al WORK
ROiestvenshy's Squadron Must Be Re- inforced-Japanese News from Port Arthur Leaves Very little of the Port Arthur Fleet Afloat.

St Petersburg, Dec. S.-The nevspa- pers here, headed by the Novce Vrem- va, are still urgently pressing a cam Taign in favor of the immediate rein forcement of Admiral Rojestvensky's s squadron. The proposition to send out the Black sea fleet meets with popular favor. irrespective of the diplomatic diff faculties in the way, and in this fash ion sentiment is being adroitiy direct ed against the foreign ,cfEice and admir- alty, which is evidently the real object of the promoters of the agitation.
 Captain Clado, who was detached from Admiral Rojestvensky's squadron in order to testify before the -interna- tional commission to inquire into the North sea incident, again returns to the attack in a letter declaring that the argument that the withdrawal Of the Black sea fleet would weaken Russia $ position in the near east is not con- vincing, Turkeys navy being powerIess to threaten Russia if even the whole Russian fleet departs. While Great Britain might buster he adds, the opinion is that she would really act in a short sighted. manner if she opposed the exit of the fleet, as Russia, if she loses her far eastern possessions, must seek an outlet nearer home, either in the Mediterranean or in the Persian gulf. How, he inquires, would Great Britainl like the Russian arsenal and the Russian fleet to be within 400 miles of Bombay?
