LUSCIOUS LRUIT AND
GOLDEN GRAINS
Pendleton Paper Takes Notice OF
Hon. A. II. Carson's Or
chard-Mine.

As q further inducement to people
10 come TO Hood River and get rich
the hustlers OF that enterprising valley
claim TO have discovered gold In the
sands Of their beautiful little river.
Rogue River Valley has heretofore
held this unique advantage Of getting
gold from its orchards and from the
sands Of it's streams and from rocks OF
its hills. Commenting on this fact
the Pendleton Tribune gives the
facetious article on the possibility OF
Rogue River Valley orchardists caring
for their fruit trees during the Sum
mer and ,mining in the Winter. men
tioning Hon. A. II. Carson as an
example Of these favored men who
sre getting rich. on a double-track
venture:
Just AZ the fact seemed to be pretty
wei established that there are other
sections Of Oregon that can raise
"just as good" apples as Hood River
and that hustling valley was likely
to have lively competition in its
effort TO keep in the limelight, here
comes report TO the effect that gold
has actually been found on the bar at
the mouth Of Hood River and that a
dredge has been secured for the pur-
pose Of separating the precious metal
from the worth ess sand
But this need not surprise anyone.
With the start that Hood River has
on the road TO fame, il is not possible
to conceive Of anything that will sue.
oessfully stop it. II there is anything
that proves especially valuable or
necessary to the human family, ii can
be depended upon that some Hood
River man will discover it-and near
his home, too.
This circumstance OF the discovery
Of gold at the mouth Of Hood River
reminds us that A. II. Carson of
Grants Pass, prominent horticul-
tsrist, has very fine vineyard on
side Hill farm in Josephine county,
which has proven very profitable.
This vineyard IL located directly on
one Of those Josephine county hills
where gold abounds. Carson has a
hundred feet and after his grapes are
tshen care OF and his wine slowed
away In the cellar. he spends the
Winter taking gold from his mine
above ground.
As double.shot proposition this
probably equals anything known.
Nothing Of the kind has yet been re-
ported from Hood River-but 1t is
young yet always has its ear to the
ground.

PORTUGUESE IMMIGRANTS ARE
GOOD CITIZENS
Fears That Islands Might Be Domi-
mated by Japanese Set at Rest
by an Influx of
Europeans
Special Correspondence of the Herald.

Special Correspondence of the Herald.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Commis-
sioner General Sargent has just re-
turned from Honolulu and gives it as
hos opinion that the new tide of immi-
grafton in the Hawaiian islands will do
more than all else to hold the islands
to the United States.
Grave fears have been expressed that
the preponderance of japanese there
might cause trouble in case war should
ever come between the United States
and Japan, but the recent arrival of a
thousand or more first class Portuguese
immigrants the commissioner regards
as the opening by which the labor ranks
in the islands will be recruited by a de-
sirable class of citizens who will always
be loyal to the government.
The commissioner is enthusiastic over
the prospects for the islands and pre-
diets a great future for them. Climate,
soil and almost everything else are in
their favor, and all the material re-
sources are being rapidly developed.
Mr.. Sargent has been close student
of the immigration problem and does
not hesitate to say that those immi-
grants admitted at Charleston a couple
of months ago and those admitted at
Honolulu, taken as a whole, are the
best that have entered the United States
during his term of office.
He says the labor problem in the
south, as well as in the Hawaiis, has
been~a very grave one. Both sections
were developing much faster than good
labor could be secured. In both sec
tions the race question was a factor,
and in one was the added danger of the
predominance of foreign and antag-
onistic element. Both factors, he thinks,
are now in the way of being eliminated,
or at least relegated to an unimportant
position.
Under the new impetus given by the
arrivals at Charleston he thinks the
south will within the next half decade
make greater strides than in any ten
years since the close of the war.

NARRATEs MOST
GREWSOME YARNS
WITNESSES GIVE TESTIMONY
IN CRESSEY CASE
Judge Wilbur Likely to Go to Wo-
mans Home and Find Out Her
True Mental Condition
for Himself

At the close of yesterdays session in
department s of the superior court
Judge Wilbur, through the necessity Of
court work, granted the much sought
after and much desired postponement in
the hearing of the Cressey case and the
argument as to Mrs. Cressey's sanity
will not again be taken up until Mon
day.
If Mrs. Cressey's condition on Monday
forbids her appearance in court, and
from present indications such will be
the case, Judge Wilbur will probably
go to the Cressey home and see for HIM
self how the woman has been affected
by her mental arrangement.
Yesterday several witnesses were ex-
amined regarding Mrs. Cressey's pecu-
liar actions. DIR. Albert p. Graves, an
evangelist, stated that he had known
Mrs. Cressey for some time and that
because of an old acquaintance with her
relatives he had taken particular in
terest in her upon meeting her in this
city.
He stated that on one occasion shortly
after the womans marriage to Capt.
Cressey he had visited her and had
found that she had become nervous
wreck. He told the court he had talked
with Mrs. Cressey and thats her Ian
guage and actions had been those of an
imbecile.
Another witness in the case yesterday
testified that Mrs. Cressey seemed to be
the victim of drugs, and 1t was alleged
Capt. Cressey had supplied the medi-
cines.
Says Sister Unbalanced
During Mrs. Cressey's recent illness,
according to the allegations of neighbor
women in court yesterday, Cressey read
horrible murder stories to his wife and
told her of brutal atrocities committed
in different parts of the country, con-
tinuing to tell the grewsome affairs,
even though the trained nurse present
warned him that his wlfe's nervous
condition and mental depression would
admit of no such excitement.
Mrs. Jessie Baxter, who came from
Indiana to take care of her sister, Mrs.
Cressey, was on the witness stand yes
terday most of the day.
She testified that her sister, Mrs.
Cressey had been married four times

TEN-YEAR-OLD HUNTER, WITH HIS
CHRISTMAS RIFLE, STAYS WILDCAT

small animals and gave it to the boy.
A 22-caliber Winchester was Christ
mas gift, and young Wright deter
mined to get the bobtail. For nights
he baited the trap and put it in the
way of the enterprisng cat, but he OBJ
tanned no results. Several times the
bait was stolen from the trap, but the
bob escaped.
Yesterday morning a racket near the
chicken yard of the Wright ranch
caused Jack Wright to hurry to the
place. He found that the bob had been
caught. The animal was a fine big
Fellow, strong as a young mountain
cat and fighting desperately for his life.
He had dragged the trap several
yards and as the elder Wright ap-
preached the animal, dragging the trap
with him, leaped to the trunk of a
nearby tree and tried to climb it.
A hound, attempting to get in bite
at the mass Of fur, went yelping away
with a torn shoulder. Wright drew
his revolver and fired, but the cat
shrewdly swung to the other side of the
tree and dropped to the ground.
A moment later the ten-year-old
youngster dashed past his father and
with shot from the rifle killed the
wildcat.
Now young Wright is having the
skin prepared to hang it up in his
room and he Is making wry faces over
the fact that his school teacher has
made him prepare a composition on
the escapade. The lad considers the
writing of compositions degrading
work for hunter Of meat and a slayer
of wildcats.

Pest

TITO little Billy Wright, the ten-year-

Madre, has come honor and fame
which rarely stops at the door of one
so young, and Billy is spending his
spare time now troting up and down
the streets of the little mountain viii
lage, being admired by men and wo-
men.
For some time past Sierra Madre has
been troubled by a wildcat that night
ly made ravages on chicken roosts. The
bobtail visited every coop in the little
settlement. New Years night he stole
down from the canyons of the Wilson
trail and lunched off six or seven fine
fowls and the village was up in arms,
but they could not get the cat. He was
too old a hand at the business.
Jack Wright is clerk in department
six of the superior court, and every
day he comes to Los Angeles to attend
his work. Recently, as a toy for his
son Billy, Wright purchased trap Cor

CITY ASKS TITLE

ANY DOUBT
Blanket Instructions Issued by Coun-
Gil to City Attorney to Go Ahead
and Establish Ownership.
Mathews Goes East

Under blanket instructions from the
city council suits to quiet title will be
filed by the city of Los Angeles in the
Owens river country whenever it is
necessary.
This move is one of the first favored
by City Attorney Leslie r. Hewitt and
indicates his purpose to aid all in his
power to push along the owens aque-
duct project.
In many parts of Inyo county many
titles are held by adverse possession,
and because of the immense area Of the
county and the comparatively small
population in some sections. the prop
erty lines and information is not as
clear as in other parts of California.
Because of this the city may be forced
to sue in obtaining good titles to all
the lands 1t wishes to buy for water
purposes.
I'VE want to get the land Investments
cleared up as soon as possible" said
City Attorney Hewitt yesterday. I'VE
can now go ahead and get the legal
titles.
1--WE are acquiring the acres as fast
as possible, but in getting them we
want to be sure that we have what
we want. The title business up there
is still in it's infancy and 1t may be
necessary to go to court to make sure
of our ground. We can do this now
under action of the council rather than
file separate request each time we
may have occasion to sue.
