Delay in delivering Strawberries by

Was Patient Sufferer to the Last.

Earl Simonton, who died at his
home in Hood River, Wednesday
morning May "a, was born at Rich
field, Ohio, October 2S, 1873. He was
therefore, 81 years, six months and 26
days old at the time of his death. His
illness began with pneumonia and
measles. During the last eight months
of his illness he was unable to be out
of bed. He was patient sufferer to
the last. The funeral services we're
conducted in the home of the deceased
and the body was conveyed to the
Idlewilde cemetery where it was ten
derly laid away. AS the casket was
gently lowered into the grave kind
friends sang softly, Beautiful Isles
of Somewhere. " The services we're
conducted by W. A. Elkins of the
Valley Christian church.
Mr.. Simonton spent his boyhood
days in Ohio. From Ohio he moved
to Colorado in 1900. He became a
member Of the Christian church in
1895. He was married to Miss Flor
ence Abbot at Trinidad, Colo, in
1901, and Immediately moved to Can
yon City.
Mr.. Simonton did a great deal of
contracting, his father and brothres
working with him. In Canyon City
he superintended the construction of
about so houses With 80 men under
his direction he had at one time as
high as y houses under course of
construction. He was not olny an eX-
cellent carpenter, but an architect OF
no mean ability, as a number of tasty,
well arranged houses in Hood River
and vicinity give evidence. He drew
some of his best plans when near the
end of his earthly career.
The deceased leaves devoted wife,
father, a sister and two brothers to
mourn his departure. His mother
and his wife's' mother both passed
away about one year ago. An infant
child was laid away in April, 1903,

MORE BERRIES;
LESS ACREAGE

More berries are being sent out
from Hood River this week, the
heighth of the berry season, than
were shipped at the same period last
year, Notwithstanding a 30 per cent
decrease in the total acreage. This
is accounted for by the superior
quality of the berries this year. So
far the weather conditions have been
perfect for producing large fruit, and
a finer lot of strawberries never be-
fore left Hood River, than those sent
out this season.
Between 1000 and 5000 crates we're
shipped Monday night, and even more
Tuesday night.
Early in the season, Manager Shep-
ard of the Fruit Growers union esti-
mated the crop at Is, 600 crates Many
considered this too high an estimate,
but indications are this will be slightly
exceeded. Mr.. Davidson of the
Davidson Fruit Co. says orders for
crates are coming in faster than his
factory can meet the demand. Two
Portland box factories are kept busy
manufacturing crates for the Hood
River berry growers.
Early in the season, when Mr..
Davidson solicited orders for crates,
the growers underestimate their
crop, and failed to make their crate
orders large enough. Now at the
height of the season the demand for
additional crates is greater than three
factories can meet. The factories ex-
pect to catch up with the orders in a
few days
Pickers have been a scarce article
this.year and the want column of the
Portland papers has been literally pat
ronized by tho local shipping associa-
tions in an effort to secure pickers foI
their customers.
The early patches along the Colum-
bia and at White Salmon are nearing
the end of the season, while in the
foothills the berries are just getting
plentiful. AS work grows scarcer in
the early patches, the pickers move uI
the valley to the later plantations.
Pickers are making coed wages this
season.

highly-respected citizen, kind and

Norman Williams Must Hang.
The Oregon supreme court has de-
MED Norman Williams a rearing be-
fore that body, and unless the COVER
nor exercises his pardOning power the
convicted murderer of the Nesbitt
women in the upper Hood River val
ley is doomed man.
When the news was received by Will
! Jams it is said he Strengthened up for
a moment, folded his arms, as is his
wont, and was silent for time, but
no visible change was noticed.
When asked if he was not ready to
make a statement, he answered: "Not
yet, [ may say something later. | do
not want to talk to any one now. y
He spoke in a kindly way, and then in
few moments walked to his cell.
1t now remains for Judge Bradshaw
to re-sentence him, which it is likely
will be done when the court convenes
in adjourned session. Thirty days
from that time Williams must hang in
the yard at the county court house.
Beyond question, Williams has an
ticipated for several days what the de-
cision of the Supreme court would be,
for be has been arranging to make
disposition of his real property and
personal effects. Monday he requested
County Clerk Bolton to prepare a deed
to three lots he owns in Bellingham,
Wash, leaving the name of the gran
tee blank. This Williams Informed
the County Clerk he would fill in and
sign before the day Of execution, pro-
vided the Supreme Court did not in
terfere.
So far, Williams is maintaining the
GOODNESS with which he had demeaned
himself ever since his conviction, and
is perfectly resigned to his fate, though
to those with whom he will converse
he insists that he is innocent. Lately
, he has been conversing with Father
Desmarais, Catholic priest, to whom
no doubt he has made a confession, if
so he will not likely tell anyone else
of the crime for which he must now
hang. He will probably 90 the to gal

Alma Nesbitt and her mother a secret

Reasons Assigned for Terrible Defeat
of Russian Fleet.

Stories of the survivors of the battle
the Korean strait, which are being cabled
to London reveal an almost incromprehen-
sible state Of affairs on the Russian fleet
when il went into action. The utter rout
of the Russians and the Insignificant dam
age to the Japanese is easily understood In
the light of these amazing stories.
In forty-eight hours naval force OF
twenty-one modern lighting ships was de-
stroyed and naval experts are asking what
are the causes that underlie such a defeat
The explanation is apparently coming IN
over the cable through the tales told by
the Russian survivors.
The story of the Russian defeat dates
back to the time when. still ir European
waters-not a week out from the home
port of Libau-Rojestvens ships spread
CONSERVATION and death among the English
fishing fleet in the North sea.
The fear of the Japs was strong In them
even then. and they opened fire precipitately
Ii 600 miles from the theater OF war. Why?
With the possible exception OF few OF
the highest ranking officers. there was not
a man on the powerful armada trained for
sea service. or even able to step springily
on a ships deck. Raw recruits from field
and factory were pressed into service and
shipped to give battle against Togo's
trained veterans. The officers to command
them were taken from the ranks of the
dissolute aristocracy of st. Petersburg
NJ. Lockny, former minister of marine OF
France. declares that half the crews OF the
Baltic fleet never saw the sea before en-
barking at Libau. and that many cavalry
men were hastily transferred from the sad
die to the quarter deck to I'LL the gaps.
The men behind the guns had more fear of
them than of the enemy at whom they
were to shoot.
The frenzy that caused the Russians to
open fire at the sight of a harmless fishing
feet became a hopeless panic of fear at
the sound of Togo's opening gun. and the
formidable armada became at once as
harmless the fishing fleet which 1t had
scattered five days out Of Libau.
No effort made to fire the shotted
guns-if the yokeis at the laniards knew
how. Posts were deserted. the engines were
left unguarded. the helm turned at will and
the men raced for the boats.
In naval circles at London Rojestvenskys
handling of his feet is declared to have
been the most hopeless and Incompetent
display of naval tactics In the history OF
seamanship. and 1t is charitable 10 believe
