At Carbondale, ILL.,, last Sunday
morning, Frank Campbell, colored,
was shot and instantly killed by
David Goddard, white, a fireman
for the Illinois Central railroad.
The Negro called Goddard out of
his house and asked for food,
which was given him. Without
provocation, the Negro, it is alleg-
ed, drew a knife and cut Goddard
badly about the arms. He after
ward returned and sprang toward
Goddard in the darkness, when
the latter shot him. The men
were unknown to each other, and
the supposition is that the Negro
was insane.

who murdered the crew and eight
passengers of the cattle steamer
Olympia, has been lynched. When
McGill was captured at Ell Provin-

cording to Capt. Doe, they first
planned to burn the prisoner, but
later he was taken from the Off
cials and lynched. The laws of
the island forbid capital punish
ment, and it was this fact caused
the lynching.

KEPT BUSY TELLING
PEOPLE OF MOSIER

The firm of Ginger & Stark, the real
estate dealers, are recognized and
known as men of great Importance in
Mosier and to Mosier. They are
boosters and they are always busy in
telling all the people just what fine
location it is to locate in and just how
necessary it is to get home in this
section to make money easy and fast.
The firm has only been organized for
a year but it has been wonderfully
successful in securing splendid
and large list of the best land in the
country. That is not all that the
firm is doing either, they are selling
land. Now that the country is on the
move and land is moving and proper
ty on the increase Ginger d Stark are
offering land thai should and Is
tempting people. 1t has been proven
that Mosier can grow apples,
Frank Ginger has been resident of
Mosier for the past fourteen years and
he has been one of the hard workers
and one Of the enthusiasts over the
success Of the country. He and his
mother, Mrs. Marietta Harlan own 300
acres adjoining the city and it is fine
fruit land. One of the finest cherry
orchards in the section is there. 1t is
his intention to soon take it up and
cut the land in tracts so that it will
be easily disposed Of. He is popular
with the people because he has estab-
lished a reputation for doing things
that are honorable and on the level.
His partner in business, Mr. Charles
r. Stark is we'll known through the
country and has the undivided regard
and esteem of all who know him. He

ENTHUSIASTIC OVER
FUTURE OF MOSIER

e. j. Middleswort, who lives three
miles east from Mosier, and enjoys
the most beautiful scenery along the
Colubmia river, is one of the enthu-
siasts over the success of Mosier and
vicinity. He has been resident there
for the past ten years, and has one of
the finest, if not the finest ranches in
this section. His ranch has caused
many ordinations Of delight from
Passengers ON the steamers. 1t is
from the river that the ranch and sur
roundings command such striking
and imposing view. There are 400
acres in the ranch and thirty are un-
der cultivation, with eight acres in
fruit. For years Mr.. Middlesw0rt has
been the acknowledged leader in early
fruit, always being about week or
ten days ahead of many of the others
Mr.. Middleswort is aplanner. Some
years ago he decided he would have an
apple orchard Of $500 trees, planting
500 trees each year. This year he will
add another $50 and when he com
pletes his plans will have one Of the
finest apple orchards in Oregon. just
as illustration-the prune harvest COM
menced on August IA, week earlier
there than on other ranches. During
the season he shipped 375 boxes of
peach plums, and was on the market

ing the high price.
There are few visitors who see this
section, but what make it an aim to
call on this ranch. The beautiful

SUCCESSFUL GROWER
OF LARGE APPLES

j. P. Carroll, a dozen years ago
came here from Kansas, and from the
very beginning has made it an aim
to have one of the best ranches in the
section. He was attracted by the fine
soil and surroundings and has always
followed his motto to "wash, watch
and spray" He set out fine or
chard and has added to it as time has
gone by, till today he has the best to
be found in the valley. Last year he
harvested over 5000 boxes of apples
and while this year it will not run SO
big there Is no question but what the
price will be far in advance. He has
one of the finest apple houses and all
his buildings are of the very best. At
the fruit fair at The Dalles three years
ago he took sweep stakes on the best
ten varieties and in fact he was first
in everything that he entered.
Mr.. Carroll is liberal minded and
has done a great deal to promote the
best interests of the community. He
has convinced all that to get good
clean apples it is necessary to spray.
He has taken hold and worked hard
W uIlhR Ills OLCnhTu up w bu6 HlRu
standard that it is today. 1t has been
done by the closest application to
business. He has put in force system
and he has put in force scientific as
well as practical methods. He is a
horticulturist of the highest degree.
He takes keen interest in everything
that tends to add to the betterment of
himself and the community that is
one of the main reasons why he has
been SO successful. He has reared a
large and interesting family and has
interested them in the great possibil,
tiles of the valley and the mountain
slopes. He Is native of Ohio, but
for ten years he was a resident of
Kansas and it was there that he took
up farming but when he pushed out
farther west he found just the place
that he wanted and has from the very
start made grand success. Mr.. Car
roll and his family are interesting and
are foremost In advancing the best
interests of the community in a social
as well as a commercial way.

surroundings are grand indeed. The
orchard slopes to the north, and the
house, nestles close under a big bluff
amid pines and oaks. To make the
farm complete, fine large springs are
in evidence, sufficient for irrigation
purposes. Up ON the high bluff on
the south large reservoir has been
placed, giving sufficient pressure for
all purposes.
The orchard is miscellaneous one,
just the kind for home and the fam.
lily surely enjoy the bountiful benefits
from it and the other surroundings.
The soil is the strong card of the
place. Here is the black clay and the
rich sandy loan. There is nothing
that will not grow in this rich soil.
Mr.. Midleswort is native of Ohio,
but for many years was a resident of
Butte, Montana. He there had occa-
sion to regard the great benefits Of
fine water and plenty of it, and In
his selection of home surely was
most fortunate indeed. He is an en-
thusiastic hunter and has just re-
turned from ten-days trip in the
mountains. He and his family take
an active interest in all things that
tend to aid to the bright side of life
in this community.
