cilmen, Recorder and Marshal

The first city election in Hermiston,
in which great interest was taken by
all the people of that thriving town
and surrounding country, was held

Councilmen: L. w. Davis, Henry
Handy, E. L. McMillen, H. T. Irwin,

OF these the following were nomi-
mated by the McNaught side and
represent that portion of the city;
Mayor Carr, Recorder Williams,
Marshal Play and Councilmen Davis,
McMillen, Handy and Means.
Councilmen Griffin and Irwin and
Treasurer Wright were nominated by
the Newport or east side of town.
This gives the Mcknight side seven
out of 10 of the first city officials,
although II is understood that there
will be no division or factional con-
tention in the council or in the con-
duct of the new town, in any way.
The Newport or east side of the
town indorsed Councilmen Davis, Nc
Millen and Handy and they there
fore received the full support of both
sides, which amounted to SS votes.
Recorder Williams and Marshal Dug
Play were also indorsed by the New
port people and the hot fight center
ed on the office of mayor. e. p.
Dodd was beaten by George Carr by
vote of 40 to 4S.

town carried by a vote of 81 to l.
Swayze and Meanes Tied.
1t develops today that Swayze and
Means, candidates for the council, are
tied and that the matter will be pre-
sented to the county court tomorrow.
Each has received a. votes, while one
doubtful vote was cast and the matter
will be brought before the county
court for settlement. This leaves the
election of Means in doubt until the
matter is passed upon by the court.

f. w. Griffith Sues for Divorce

Frank w. Griffith filed suit today
for a divorce from Chrystine NJ. Grif-
fiths, and declares that during the
period of his married life, which be-
gan on the 18th of August, 1905, he
has been treated in a cruel and in
human manner by his wife. On three
different occasions she is said to
have deserted the family home and
in other ways her conduct was open
to criticism. For these reasons the
plaintiff does not think he could ever
live happily with her again even
should reconciliation take place,
and so he asks for a legal decree of
separation. They were married at
Baker City.

Good Garden on Dry Land.

C. ]. Jennings who owns a farm
in George canyon, about four miles
northwest of Pilot Rock, brought to
the East Oregonian today samples Of
turnips grown on dry land this year
without irrigation. The turnips are
Of very large size and OF excellent
flavor and average up we'll with
specimens grown under irrigation in
many parts of eastern Oregon. Mr..
Jennings raised an excellent garden
on the dry land of that section this
year and it is evident that the land
will produce well under ordinary cir
cumstances.

Slab Wood Trust Formed.

The Oregon Daily Journal says of
the slab wood trust in Portland: An
ironclad contract binds the sawmills
of Portland to sell slab wood only to
certain retail dealers, who buy 1t at
so cents cord and sell 1t to the pub
lie at prices ranging from SO to 81,
with delivery charges added. In times
past any person could go to the mills
and buy all the slab wood he needed
at a nominal price, but this is ended
and the combine now controls the
situation. 1t is openly predicted by
members OF the combine that even
the high prices now prevailing will
be exceeded this fall.

TWO CROPS IN ONE SEASON.
State Line Man Will Raise Crops Of
Potatoes and Cabbage on Same
Land

state Line MAN VIII hdlSe OFOps Oh
Potatoes and Cabbage on Same
Land.
H. Miller, of the state line district,
owns 40 acres, five of which are IN
fruit, Is in alfalfa and 10 acres in
potatoes. OF this potato crop five are
of the Early Fortune variety.
They are now on the market and
sell for 81 per 100 pounds. Mr.. Mil
Ter has his entire potato crop contract
ed for at the rate of 81 per 100 pounds
to Seattle firm, and will begin to
harvest his crop this week.
The potatoes are of good quality
and it is estimated that there will be
at least 40 sacks to the acre, each
weighing 100 pounds. The five acres
will yield at least 40 sacks to the acre,
The five acres will yield at least 10
tons of potatoes at $50 per ton, or
$500 for the five acres, or $3.50 profit
per acre.
However, Mr.. Miller is more pro-
gressive than many farmers and as
soon as this potato crop is harvested
will set out early cabbage on the va
cant land, thus harvesting two crops
from the same ground in one short
season.

NO RETURNS YET MADE.
County Clerk Subjected TO Annoyance
and Delay.

r. 7. Brown, deputy county clerk,
is now sorely perpleXed because no
returns have yet been made on two
marriage licenses issued from the
clerks office during May. Under the
law the minister or other official
performing a marriage ceremony is
required to file the returns within
short time. Unless he does so he
is subject to a fine of s5 for his de-
lay, and much trouble is caused the
clerk because his monthly report can
not be concluded.
The licenses upon which no returns
have been made were those to Claud
Eggleston and Ida Smith, issued May
4, and one to Walter Bunnell and Min
ME Beaumont.

Boise, July 2.-The arrest of certain
witnesses in the Haywood trial who
have testified for the defense on per-
jury charges, before the end of the
trial, is certain to come. Agents for
the prosecution are now searching the
Coeur d'Alene district to get evil
dence to controvert that of DR.. Nc
Gee, who swore positively he met Or
chard at Wallace in July or August,
1904. MCGEE seemed sure of his
ground, but the prosecution insists
he is mistaken: that at the time he
says he saw Orchard at his hospital
the assassin was en- route to San
Francisco from Denver.
1t is rumored that northern Idaho
authorities are preparing information
and seeking the arrest of w. F. (Big
BID Davis for completely in blowing
up the Bunker Hill-Sullivan mill at
Wardner.
Malich Incriminates Orchard.
Max Malich, a Denver saloonkeeper,
was the first witness today. He told
about the strike at the Globe .smelt-
ing works at Globeville, a suburb of
Denver. He was introduced by Gra-
cious, president of the union, who
later turned out to be Pinkerton.
Orchard played cards in the back
room of his saloon, but tried to start
poker game, which Malich said he
stopped.
The witness denied absolutely he
ever tried to hire Orchard to blow up
the Globe hotel, which was occupied
by strikebreakers.
The smelter trust he swore, start
Cd an opposition store to him because
he refused to refrain from extending
credit TO union men.
Malich also testified that Orchard
several times told him Steunenberg
caused him TO lose his fortune and he
would ge; even II he swung for it.
Following an attempt by unknown
parties to throw acid on him as he
went to bed, Malich swore that Or
chard came to him and offered to kill
the manager of the opposition store
for money enough to get out of town.
He refused to permit anything of the
kind.
Malich Was Burned Out.
Malich's place was burned after he
left Il one day to visit his ranch
