ProsmiScOuS Box Cars.

A week ago Saturday a disas-
trous wreck occurred at Gran
vile, but there seems to be some
difficulty in getting any infor-
nation regarding,it. VIM. John
son, the engineer on the freight
running east from Minot went to
sleep 50 it is said and when his
train was rushing into Granville
at a forty mile and hour clip. he
did not notice the switch engine
on the r,sain track backlog to-
wards the incoming train. When
he awoke he Was but u short
distance from the switch engine.
He reversed levers and both
engineers and tiremen on the
engineer jumped and were not in
jured. Chas. Taliferro, who
carries the mail to the train did
not notice the wreck, and
was struck in the back OF the
head by a box car and knocked
forty feet. Strange to say: he
was not badly injured. lie
remarked that box cars were fly
inc about rather promiscouslN
however. One engine was over
turned and badly wrecked.

Joseph ke,nper and Albert
Frantz, the two Germans, were
convicted of the crime OF burgl-
airy in the second degree and
sentenced Friday afternoon by
Judge Palda to long terms in
the penitentiary at Bismarck at
hard labor. Kemper received a
sentence OF seven years and nine
months, while Frantz was sen
fenced to seven years. The jury
was net long in agreeing. The
case went to the Jury about $50
O'Clock Thursday evening and
before 8 O'Clock they had arrived
at a verdict. The Jury recon-
mended to the Judge, leniency,
for Frantz. That is the reason
Palda sentenced kemper nine
months longer. kemper after
wards sent word to Judge Palda
that he wished he had sentenced
him to ten years instead ofseven
wears and nine months, for when
he has been there that long, a
few years more would cut no ice.
The men took their sentences
cody, but later Kemper was very
nervous. They had hoped to be
either sent free or get OFF with
one or two years.

said he was sorry he could not
give them the limit, ten years,
but as the jury had found them
guilty Of burglary in the second
degree, and recommended leni-
ency, he would not give them
quite the limit. He said he be-
lieved that Frantz should have
been found guilty of rape in the
first trial, and had that been the
verdict Of thejury, he would have
sentenced the German to life i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary.
Joseph Kemper is 81 years OF
age and has a fine homestead
near Ovarholt. The homestead,
if proven up, would be worth
~, 500. He also has horses and
machinery. He is unmarried.
Frantz also has q fine home
stead near Overholt, and was
once married. His ifeseparated
from him when their baby was
little and since that time he has
not heard from her. He still sup.
ported the child.
The two men when sober are
said to be hard working fellows
and not at all bad. They simply
drank too much whiskey which
caused them to search for lust.

fornia is just as far, but everybody
knows of California. At the st. Louis
fair your neighboring state Washing
ton distributed 100000 magnificent
souvenir books, not cheap stuff, but
beautiful books that any one would
take home and read and look at many
times and ponder over. How many
did Oregon distribute at the St. Louis
fair? Today / received a folder done
in most artistic effect advertising the
Spokane fair this fall. And / have
just learned that thousands of these
folders have been mailed broadcast
by Spokane merchants.
Itell you, friends, its mighty hard
work to holler for Oregon, as / am do
ing, and as delight in doing, when
ever man you meet says, "Oh yes, from
California" and when one sees Cali
fornia booklets, fruits, railroad adver-
tising, land advertising, everywhere
but never a word of Oregon.

returning from "the coast" say

meeting. They were looking at the
Oregon fields and hills, and wonder
ing what varmints could possibly ex-
ist there, and when | mildly told them
that the land they were looking at
could not be bought for from $50 to
$1OO an acre, they jumped me in great
shape. They had been to California
they allowed, and that was the only
country on the Pacific coast. We hap
pened to be at Hood River station just
then and when | told them that had
paid $100 an acre for 20 acres near
Hood River only the day before, they
dropped me right there and the only
words I heard from them after that
was "he's crazy, plumb crazy, to waste
his money that way" If they could
have seen those 20 acres of mine, up
near the celebrated orchards and home
Of Mr.. Smith, the successful apple

ASK FOX INJUNCTION
Dallas Property Owners Allege That
Mill Race Overflows and Damages
Their Premises.

E. S. Levens, Lucy E. Rowell, Frank
Rowell and Mary A. Dougan,
plaintiffs, VS.. G. M. Gooch and G. F.
Helm, co-partners doing business
under the firm name of Gooch & Helm,
and Ed Biddle, defendants, is the title
of suit filed in Judge Galloway's de-
partment of Circuit Court for Polk
County, Monday. This is a suit for
damages, and further, according to
the complaint, to restrain and enjoin
the defendants from flooding or over
flowing plaintiffs premises with the
water flowing in the Dallas mill race.
Plaintiff for cause of suit alleges
that for more than one year last past
the defendants have wholly failed,
neglected and refused to keep said
water ditch in good repair or to con-
troll the waters flowing in said ditch,
and that the defendants haYe care
lessly and negligently allowed more
water to flow into said ditch through
it's head-gate than said ditch would
carry It is further alleged that the
water has flowed over the banks of the
ditch and flooded the plaintiffs lands
to such an extent as to destroy grow
ing crops, prevent cultivation, and
also to destroy one acre Of hops.
The plaintiffs pray for a decree Of
the court restraining and enjoining
defendants from flooding or overflow
ing plaintiffs premises with water,
and also that they be required tc keep
the ditch in good repair, and that they
be compelled to desist from allowing
more water to flow into the ditch than
the same will carry; that the rights
of all the parties be fixed by such de-
cree, and that the plaintiffs have and
recover damages in the sum of 5000
and all costs and disbursements. Ed
F. Coad is the attorney for the
plaintiffs.

FEW HOPS UNSOLD
Twelve Thousand Bales VIII Probably
Cover Crops Now In Farmers
Hands.

The 1904 hop crop of Oregon is about
all sold Well-informed dealers agree
that the number Of bales still in the
hands of the farmers at the present
time does not exceed $4,000, and that
most OF these hops are on the East side
of the Willamette river. Practically
everything in the Independence dis
trict has been cleaned up, and only
two crops remain unsold in the Dallas
district. The number Of bales remain
ing unsold in the entire county will
not exceed 800. According to buyers
reports, farmers who had not sold up
to Wednesday morning were; Fink
Brothers and H. Clantield, of Dallas;
Thomas Holman, of Cola; Gilbert &
Patterson, Lincoln yard,) and Allen
& Dunn, of Kings Valley.
Present prospects point to a large
increase in the hop acreage next year.
Tuesdays Oregonian says: Some
indication of the craze for hopgrowing
is shown in the strong demand that
exists for hop roots. Ordinarily these
can be bought for $3.50 per thousand,
but the urgent inquiry this year has
caused growers to advance the price to
$40 per thousand. Even at a cent a
piece the big growers say they have
more orders than they care to fill.
This looks like great increase in the
hop acreage nexty year and an immense
increase in the output two years hence,
when hops may be as cheap as hay"
The New York Hop Reporting Com
pany has compiled interesting statis-
tics showing the opening, highest and
lowest prices in the New York market
for choice state" hops for the last AZ
years. The OBSERVER would like to
reprint these figures in full, as many
farmers would file them away for
reference, but owing to lack Of space
this week we can only give statistics

SELLS GROCERY STORE
T. A. Riggs Will Devote His Atten-
tiOn to His Hop Yards and
Other Outside interests.

T. A. Riggs has sold the White
Front Grocery store to David Crider,
who, for many years, has been the
head clerk in the establishment An
invoice of the stock is being taken,
preparatory to turning the business
over to the new owner Mr.. Riggs
will hereafter devote his entire atten-
ton to the management Of his hop
yard and to the buying and selling of
hops, wool and cascara bark.
David Crider the new proprietor,
has probably sold more groceries than
any other one man in Polk county,
having been continuously employed as
a clerk in that business since his
brother, j. W. Crider, conducted a
grocery store in Dallas fifteen or
twenty years ago. He has a wide
acquaintance throughout the county,
and will doubtless enjoy a prosperous
business.
Mr.. Riggs, The retiring proprietor,
owns large new hop yard near Rick
reall that will require much personal
attention as it comes into full bearing,
and also has other important business
interests in the county He is a
prominent dealer in cascara bark,
having handled many carloads of this
valuable staple in Polk, Benton, Lin
coin and Tillamook county in the last
three years. He also handles wool
and mohair, and this year has devoted
considerable attention to the hop
business, buying largely for the
English market.
