Homesteaders Not FreehOlder.

Attorney General Crawford has rem
dered an opinion touching on the
qualification of witnesses in swearing
in voter under the new regulations.
The attorney general says:
Replying to the question request
ing opinion of this Office as to whether
"a person who has filed on home
stead, otherwise being qualified, can
be witness to swear in vote on
election day under our election laws
that is, Ia he a freeholdeT so as to be
one of the six witnesses required foI
that purpose, permit me TO say that
all depends ON what the courts hold
to be freeholder, and we find by ex.
animation that in the case of State
VS.. Ragland, rs N. @. II, l3, and Har
lend vs.. State, 33 Southern Reporter
1858, $3.50, the word 'freeholder' is de-
fined to be one who owns lands In fee
or for life, or for some indeterminate
period, and in the case Of Fore vs..
Hoke, As Mo. App. 254-26l, it Is held
that the word 'freeholder' is generally
used to designate the owner of an es
tate In fee in land. The same detlni
tion is given In several other cases.
Therefore, taking the above defini
tion of what constitutes a freeholder,
l am of the opinion that person who
has filed ON homestead Is not free
holder in the sense that entitled hin
to be one of the six witnesses required
to swear in a vote on election day
unless he has freehold in other real
ty.

Mearer Fruit Crnn on Snake.

W. l.. LaFollette, who has an or.
chard of $50 acres at Wawawai, Wash.
saysin the Spokesman Review:
Taking 1t as whole, we will have
about 25 per cent Of Cherry crop.
Peaches will be about Is er cent,
pears 30 to 60 per cent, prunes and
plums 80 to 80 per cent and strawber'
ries about so per cent of an average
crop. We will have bout 300 crates
of strawberries where we should have
at least 500 crates. The drought OF
last year hurt the strawberries more
than the cold weather this year. "
Mr.. La Toilette is also an extensive
grain grower, having a large grain
ranchbe tween Pullman and his fruit
farm. He says iaIl wheat in that sec
tion looks better Ghan IN almost any
other part of the Palouse country, and
good yield is practically assured.
More snow covered the ground there
than in many districts where the cold
snap of March killed so much wheat
Mr.. La Toilette said the rain now
falling is one of the most timely the
Palouse country has ever known and
he predicts an average yield Of grain.

Error In Apple Statistics.

An article which has lately been 20
ing the rounds of the papers In Hi.
nois purporting to boost that state
into the first place among the apple
producing states Of the Union has
caused no little comment among the
fruit people on account of its exagger.
alton.
The report is said to have been Civ.
en- out by Geo. Foster, secretary of
the lllinoiss HORTICULTURE society, and
it credits Illinois with having 13, 900, :
600 apple trees that produce 1900, 600
bushels annually, while Kansas has
II, 600, 900 trees which produce 5000,
600 bushels. According to the same
report Missouri has 10000, 600 trees
which yield 10000 bushels and
Michigan has l0,000,0 600 trees which
produces 5000, 900 bushels and Arkan-
sas 7, 200, 600 trees which produce O.
600, 600 bushels.
Several local apple men who are in
formed on the apple production
throughout the country smile blandly
at this seemingly comical caper of Mr..
Fosters to boost Illinois into tLo top
notch as an apple state, and the con =
viction appears to be entertained by
most dealers that Mr.. Foster has got
his arithmetic warped by subjecting it
to the burning rays of local patriot
ism.
According to the most reliable fig.
ures available the number o. barrels
of apples produced in Illinois last
year was $4,000. Allowing three
bushels to the barrel 1t Is easy to see
that the number of bushels is short of
10000 According to reliable sta.
tistics the estimates applied to other
states are as badly out of line as the
figures having reference to Illinois
produced 100000 bushels in 1902,
which was the banner year so far in
the apple pr0uction in this county,
but no yearsince that time has Illinois
reached the million mark, and in fact
the produc ion has grown smaller
every year despite the report that the
number of trees has been increased
80 rapidly.
But the 'contention that Illinois ia
the heaviest producer of apples is so
iiimsy that 1t excites little serious at.
tention at the hands of the trade who
know whats what In apples. 1t is
estimated here thai four counties in
York state produce more apples than
entire state of Illinois. The year 1906
it is put down in government report
that the entire York state crop Was
2,800,0 900 barrels, whereas in the year
1902 the production was 6, $50, 900 bar
rels. Even Pennsylvania was credited
last year with 2, lO0,0 barrels sand
Virginia Is said tohave yielded /, 300, :
600 barrels. Michign Is credited with
800, 600 barrels, figure slightly in
excess of the estimate Mr.. Foster
gives.
Local apple men say that statistics
frequently tell stories and the general
impression is that the report credited
to Mr.. Foster by the daily papers of
the state is very misleading. 1t is
generally admitted that the number of
apple trees throughout Illinois is
gradually increasing aud itsis conced-
cd the day may come when apples will
be produced In this state in as large
quantities as are grown in the older
apple sections, but, the local trade Is
not disposed to take credit for grow
ing the most apples until they are
actually produced. Chicago Pakor,

It Didn't Come Back.

Don't be too generous about loan
inggyour garden hose to whoever asks
for 1t, or you may find yourself minus
tho means of irrigatlng your lawn as
did a Dalles family last evening. Sat
urday evening about 6 80 young man
called at the door and said he'd like
to borrow the hose to water a lawn
down ON the corner, Being "easy, ~
or not dreaming of fraud, the family
allowed him to carry 1t away. Last
evening when the hour came for irri-
eating the hose was still minus. Call
ing on the Corner neighbors they
found none of them had thought of
borrowing it, and finally the truth
dawned on the ''easy marksh and the
secondhand store was visited. There
was the hose, which had been bought
Saturday evening for sl50. Marshal
Wood is after the hose man, but 1t is

The strawberry growers in the
vicinity of Candy, Oregon, have or

are going to keep prices at a respect
able figure for some remuneration to
themselves for their work. About
fifty acres are represented by those
who signed the charter. The prices
fixed are as follows: Canning berries,
4 cents per pound when picked and
marketed by the owner, and cents
when picked by tho buyer; 81. 20 per
crate when the buyer picks the berries
and furnishes his own crates. BY

May Weather.

d. N. Byerlee, local weather obser.
YER, reports the observation at Hood
River for May as follows:
The weather has been. for great
part of the month q little above the
normal in temperature. The normal
mean temperature for May is 56 de-
grees, while this year the mean tenn
perature was 5S. 30 degrees. The nor
NAL mean maximum for May is 67 de-
grees, while the mean maximum this
year was 67.67 degrees. The normal
mean minimum, too, is lower, being
As degrees, while the mean minimum
for this year was degrees.
The precipitation shows plus, the
normal precipitation for May being
1.26 inches, and we received l.52
inches of rainfall.
There was light frost on the 10th
which did no damage that was notice
able. Altogether the month has been
very favorable for all crops, including
to berries, for had the weather been
such as we are having now the output
would have been cut very much of
what 1t now is by reason Of the beI il.
ries ripeningibefore attaining market

N. P. SETTLERS MAY
TAKE LIEU LAND

Settlers who have taken up land N
Klickitat county upon the old North
ern Pacific grants, secured under con-
ditions of building the branch line
from Ainsworth to Tacoma and the
main line from Wallula to Portland,
will not be compelled to surrender
their present holdings under the latest
instructions from the acting commits
sioner transmitted to Register Gillis,
says Walla Walla dispatch. The set
tiers are given the option of electing
to retain the lands entered upon, or
to surrender them and take lieu land
instead.
The overlap of the railroad grants
and the subsequent rulings, reversals
and supreme court decisions served
TO completely mix the titles and
claims and the tangle has resulted In
the,new instructions, given as follows :
"The land herein described are
within the primary limits of the grant

pany for the constructed branch line
for its road between Ainsworth and
Tacoma and was listed by the com

class Of cases which are to the effect
that in the adjustment Of the grant to
the said company within the overlap

ruling that the company was entitled

"Now, therefore, the homestead
claims described, appearing to come
within the provisions Of said act, you
are hereby instructed to notify each
entryman, or his transferee, II any,
that he will be allowed 60 days after
notice within which to elect to retain
the land covered by his entry, or to
relinquish the same and take other
lands in lieu thereof in manner and
form prescribed by office circular of
February IA, 1899, issued under said

COLUMBIA SALMON
CATCH SMALL.
Packers Find Fish Less
Plentiful Than in
the Preceding Season
RUNS PROVE I SLIM

ASTORIA, Sept. 1.-The Columbia
River fishing season for 1906 came to
at an end at noon on August %. While
the season has not been as prosperous
as some of the former years, the pack
was large and both packers and in
dlvidual fishermen made money.
Fully $500 boats have dropped their
nets into the Columbia since the season
opened on April 25. Though the sea-
son has been marked by no sudden In
crease in the run of fish, the catch has
proved quite satisfactory, averaging
we'll each day. and the receipts of the
canneries and cold storage plants are
almost equal to those of former years
in the number of cases packed. The
picked and frozen product, is some
what below the standard.
Reports Of the pack for the sason
from the various canneries and cold
storage plants show that the total will
amount to 100000 cases which is al
most equal to the usual average.
The quality of the fish packed has
been exceptionally good this season as
there were no long continued runs, and
all the fish entering the river were
quickly disposed of by the canneries.
All the gill-netters on the river ex-
perienced their usual success. The
seiners and trap-men did not enjoy
such good season and some did very
poorly.
The output of picked salmon will
fall from 20 to 35 per cent below that
of last year. The total pack of this
class of goods is 1925 tierces, divided as
follows:
Columbia River Packers Association
1900 tierces; Union Fishermens Coop
erative Packing Company 1875 tierces;
Sanborn-Cutting Company $50 tterces;
Taliant-Gran Packing Company 80
tieyces, Warren Packing Company $50
tierces; S. Schmidt & Company 500
tierces; J. Lindenberger Inc. ESQ tier
ces; Klevenhusen & Company $50 tier
ces; Vendeyssel Packing Company 500
tierces.
The number of salmon frozen this
season is comparatively small, totaling
800 tons. Steelheads made up the
greater quantity but some silyersides
were frozen. The Columbia River
Packers Association lead in the
amount of fish frozen with go tons
With Lindenberger next with 70 tons,
the others are as follows: Warren
Packing Company so tons; S. Schmidt
& Company 80 tons; Klevenhusen &
Company q tens; Vendeyssel Pack
ing Company rs tons.
The pack of canned salmon among
the different packing companies is as
follows;
Columbia River Packers Association
80. 600 cases. Union Fishermen's Coop
erative Packing Company $4,000 cases
Tallant-Grant Packing Company $4,000
cases; j. P. MCGOWAN & Sons $4,000
cases; Sanborn Cutting Company 20,60C
cases; A. Booth & Company $4,000
cases; Warren Packing Company $4,000
cases; Seufert Brothers, $4,000 cases
Pillar Rock Packing Company 1900
cases; j. G. Megler & Company 5000
cases; Altoona Packing Company 14,00d
cases; Seaborg Packing Company 500C
cases.
The obituary record for this season
was quite large, the loss of life num-
bering 25 or 80 souls. This loss Of life
is due principally to the fact that the
| fishermen ventured nearer to the bal
than customary in former years and
were overcome by the roughness of the
| sea.

News of the Nevada
Mining Camps.


GOLDFIELD, Sept. 1.-The owners OF
the Hayes-Monnette lease on the Mo-
hawk, which has for the last few
months been making history for the
camp, have spent a little of their
spare time in figuring out the trend of
the ore bodies they have uncovered.
and the result Of their cogitations was
made apparent a few days ago when
gang of miners began to sink a
shaft In the Phoenix addition to the
tewnsite of Goldfeld. The ground has
been in litigation for two years. Hayes
& Monnette have purchased the ground
of Phoenix and have begun their hunt
for gold. A contract has been let to
sink shaft to depth Of 100 feet, and
this will probably be sent down another
hundred or two before drifting for the
vein begins.
The miners, who have incorporated
under the name of the Goldfeld Es-
meralda Mining Company. have plenty
of money behind them. the output of
the lease on the Mohawk, and will not
give up until the ground is thoroughly
pl ospected. 1t is practically estab-
lished that the ore bodies underlie the
fat at the foot of Columbia Mountain.
as has been demonstrated by the recent
discoveries in the Silver Pick.
