"why Smith Left Home.
(Canby Tribune.)

Frank Smith, the outlaw AMI triple
murderer is dead. That he was killed
within few miles Of the spot where
he began his carnival of crime, seems
a fitting retribution. He was shot
quarter-mile south of New Era station
by Harry Draper, humane officer Of
Spokane, at 11:l0 O'Clock Tuesday
morning
'Claekamas county has a right to feel
proud of the part her citizens have
taken in bringing to an end the life of
this desperate man. A more desperate
courage was never shown on the bat
tlefeld than that displayed by Candy
and Oregon City men at New Era
Tuesday morning. Had Smith chosen
20 do 80 he could have killed a dozen
of these men before giving up his
own life. The posse did not underesti'
mate the danger they were facing and
every man in the party expected to re
ceive a bullet from Smiths murderous
Nfdpon any mohcuis
For hours before Smith was taken
many Of his pursuers stood within 20
feet Of his hiding place. He heard all
their conversation and could have fred
dozen bullets into them if he had
wanted 10. IL is fortunate that none
of the posse were killed. A desperate
plan "a charge on the desperate in
his hiding place had been outlined be-
fore the bloodhounds arrived and only
the counsel Of cooler heads prevented
the carrying out Of this daring piece
of work

"That's right, said another with a
laugh, "dogs are more easily propogat-
cd than men, and dogs are easier 10
raise"
Fhese remarks were made not more
than 90 feet from Smith aud could
have been heard many times that dis
tance.
When Harry Draper arrived with
the bloodhounJbs the work was soon
completed. District Fruit Inspector J.

party who saw tho identical spot where

MILLION
SENT

Under date of May 5th, Clewes &
Company says;
A fresh wave of liquidation Of almost
eyelonie proportions struck Wall
street this week. Conditions were more
or less unsettled by the San Francisco
disaster, and the opportunity was seized
10 enforce some rather drastic Hquida-
tion, which fell chiefly upon a few
prominent and rather too optimistic
operators. The last decline in the mar.
ket resulted in a drop of from 10 to so
points in many Of the active shares, in
fiicting severe losses in quarters which
were fortunately able to stand them
In spite of this rather unusual break
there are no rumors Of serious trouble
at this writing. and the financial at.
mosphere appears to have been much
cleared now that the storm has spent
its worst force. AS has been repeated
" intimated in these advices; it was
the monetary situation which furnished
the instrument of power for the bears.
Had it not been for the large demands
of San Francisco upon an already over
taxed money market no such enforced
decline would have been possible. For
tunately. we were able to secure ma.
terial assistance from abroad and thus
mitigate the force of the blow Some
$50 900, 900 of money has been remitted
to San Francisco, and over 1000, 900
of gold has been ordered from Europe,
being made Immediately available
through Secretary Shaw's lenieney in
depositing treasury gold in return for
bonds as collateral. Much of the money
sent to San Francisco to strengthen 10.
cal banks and prevent panic will soon
return into the customary channels of
circulation, so no further serious diff.
Guilty need be apprehended from Pacific
Coast monetary demands, although this
catastrophe will be factor for some
time to come.

Salem School Notes.

Tomorrow is "Parents' Day" at the
North school. A cordial invitation is
extended to all the patrons, to all the
friends of the school and to teachers
to visit the respective departments,
and see the pupils at work on the regu'
lar daily work in every grade repre-
sented in the school. The North school
is one of the leading schools in the
city school system. The school has
never made better showing of sys'
tematic and strong school work in ev-
cry line than it is doing now.
There will be no elaborate program
for the visitors-simply the daily work.
In this work the methods of teaching,
management of class recitations, plans
of government, the discipline main.
tained in school and on the play
grounds will appear as visitor will
find on any day at school.
There will be public exercises at the
North school on Friday May 25th, on
which day the school will be honored
by visit of committee of the G. A.
r. Patriotism" will be the theme of
the talks made by the visiting commit
tee of the G. A. R. on that day.
The purpose of Parents Day" is
to bring the parents of the children at
school into closer touch with the work
of the school, and to become better ac-
quainted with the teaches and their
duties. The observance of such days
occasionally cannot fail to produce
much good for the children and to be
of encouragement and helpfulness to
the teachers.
1t is hoped that there viii be a good
attendance of the teachers--if not for
the whole day, at least for an hour or
two, at any rate.
Opportunity will also be given to see
some of the exhibit work that is pre-.
pared from time to time, and pre-
served for inspection by visitors, all
along during the year.

eyes" went the revolver.
"Bangl"
"we've got him!" Draper shouted
and fired another shot into the air.
1t is not thought that Smith made
any attempt to resist. Draper says
Smith started to pull his gun, but the
writer was standing over the dying
man FIVE seconds after he was shot and
his revolver was still in his pocket.
His pockets were then searched and
FIVE or six razors (stolen from the
Candy postofice), a small pocket mir
ror, cheap metal badge or keytag;
two cheap finger rings and 16 cartridges
and an Ingersol dollar watch, were the
amount of his possessions. These arti'
cles were taken by Judge Ryan of Or
egon City.
Many people believe that Smith
could have been taken alive, in view
of the fact that he had not pulled his
gun when the bloodhounds reached him
Two things are certain: Smith had
either decided to meet his fate with.
out resistance or he was 50 badly
stunned by dynamite that he was unable
to use his gun. However, Harry ORA
per, who went into the jungles after
him. didn't know this, and expected
to be fred on by Smith any moment.
That Draper is as brave man as ever
entered a jungle cannot be denied and
to him belongs the credit for the shot
that ended Smiths career of crime.

HOPS
ARE TO BE
LIVELY

There is one phase of the hop market
which is mystifying the veterans of
the business and that is the sudden
disappearance Of the 1905 crop.
According to the reports OF experts
it appears to have gone out of sight
as if by magic. Quite a quantity of
hops were burned by the big fire in
San Francisco, but that does not in
any adequate way account for the
shortage that is now alleged to exist
in the open market.
One way of accounting for the pres
ent small stocks in the hands of grow
ers and dealers is that consumers took
advantage of the low rates ruling dur
ing the last few months and bought
heavily-storing stocks sufficiently to
do them for several months ahead.
This is particularly true of the Pa
eifc coast. and to some extent is du.
plicated in the east.
England is currently reported TO be
supplied until next September and
some sections even beyond.
1t is declared by those who have in.
vestigated that the consumption Of
hops in the United States has i'm.
mensely increased within the past
year and this fact has much to do
with the cleaning up of the 1905 crop
so far as the open market is con.
eerned One reason for the increased
consumption is that, when hops are
cheap fewer substitutes are used and
the genuine material has the preference
The result is to soon clear the visible
supply, and figures naturally tend up
ward, The open winter back east and
the early spring have wonderfully
stimulated the beer making business.
While growers of California ar,
looking hopefully to the future some OF
the conservative men in the business
deem il wise TO take a look at the sit
uation as it may develop before tn,
next selling season opens.
II is found that the roots in the Sac
ramento valley wintered well, anC
present indications are for full crop
There has been no blowing out of vines
and the output probably viii be a

cent review Of the situation the produe
of the United States may reach $780,
bales, and in that event prices ma
again be kept down by the mahipu

One thing that brightens the lOea
situation is the certainty that the erOl
hereabOuts will be large. All the cir
