JOHN p. NARKAUS PLANTS
TWO ACRES AT BRIGGSON
Weston Mountain Man Has Faith I'm
the Soil and Climate of the Blue
Mountain Section and VIII Set Out
Two Acres of Winter Apple Trees
This Montll-Others Have Raised
Excellent Apples on the Mountains.

Following out the urgent sugges.
tions of the East Oregonian that the
foothill sections OF Umatilla county
and the sheltered benches of the
Blue Mountain region be devoted to
winter apples, John P. Narkaus Of
Briggson, 10 miles from Weston, high
up on the side of the Blue Mountain,
has just purchased stock for a two
acre orchard of Spokane and Rome
Beauties, Spitzenbergs and Pippins
and will Immediately set out the trees
upon his mountain ranch.
Small orchards all over that sec
ton have borne excellently and Mr..
Narkaus believes that he can grow
as good a commercial orchard there
as can be grown in Hood River Med
ford or North Yakima and will back
his judgment with his labor and his
money.
Charles Schumann, Charles Hanna.
George D. Peebler and others have
raised fine apples in the vicinity OF
Meacham, high up on the Blue Noun
tains and Mr.. Narkaus believes that
the sheltered locality and rich soil
OF Briggson will yield a fine grade Of
winter apples also. He has purchas-
ed his stock of trees from Milton
nurseries and will set out two acres
this month.

MAN YTRANSFERS FILED.
Recorders Office Shows But Slight
Effect of Money Panic.

1t has been generally supposed
that the financial furry has put a
quietus on real estate transactions.
However the number of warranty
deeds that have been filed with the
county recorder during the holiday
period does not indicate such.
Since the first of November a to-
tai of so warranty deeds have been
recorded. This. according to Re-
corder Fred Hendley, is the normal
amount of transfers. The usual num-
ber of mortgages, quit claim deeds
and other instruments have also been
filed with the recorders office.
1t was a month ago tonight that
Governor Chamberlain issued his first
holiday proclamation.

Vancouver b. c., Nov. 21.-Evi-
dence that 5000 Japanese entered
Vancouver alone during the first 10
months of this year was brought out
before the immigration commission
and evidence was developed that the
hippo company of Canada offered to
supply the Grand Trunk with orient
al labor, but the offer was refused.
At the head of the hippo company
is Major C. G. Johnson, formerly of
the Duke Of Connaughts own rifles.
The plan of the company was to Sc
cure men in Japan and after charging
a fee for securing work for them to
also secure 81 a month from the
wages of each.
In addition the company agreed to
supply the men with food.

VETERANS UNIQUE RECORD.
Has Been Under Military Arrest Ever
Since Civil War.

Worcester, Mass, Nov. 21.-Gen-
Josiah Pickett, the only veteran of
the civil war who has been under
arrest ever since the war, was IS
years old today. A year ago he had
a fall from which he never recovered
and for some time his condition has
been considered serious.
Gen. Pickett's record is unique.
Placed under arrest by order of Gem
eral Stannard just before the battle
Of Cold Harbor, Gen Pickett has felt
1t an honor to remain under arrest.
A misunderstanding about orders
caused a difference of opinion between
himself and General Stannard. Gen.
(then coloneD Pickett remarked that
when he received orders he could
understand he would obey them.
That remark caused his arrest. Then
came the battle of Cold Harbor.
Things looked bad for the Union
troops, and, forgetful of his arrest,
Col. Pickett jumped to the front Of
his regiment and led it through the
battle. For his conduct he was rec
commended for promotion by the man
who had caused his arrest. The ar
rest was forgotten. Col Pickett was
made general, and today there are
few outside Gen. Pickett's friends
who know that the arrest still
stands.
During the lifetime of Senator
Hoar, a personal friend Of General
Pickett, it was suggested that a spe-
cial act of congress be enacted to ex-
purge the record of arrest. General
Pickett was always opposed to this
He said he wanted to die under It,.
His wish is pretty sure to be granted

Judge Powers Hypothetical
Question Before Insanity
Experts,
STRUCK BROWN WITH
UMBRELLA IN QUARREL
Government Closes Cross -Examina-
ton and Alienists VIII Testify Re-
garding Mental Condition of Mrs.
Bradley Denies Threatening TO
Blow Browns Head Off - Hypo-
thetical Question Intricate and Pays
Attention to Details.

Washington, Nov. 21.-Mrs. Brad
ley resumed the stand under cross
examination at 10 o'clock this morn
ing.
At the conclusion of the examina-
tion alienists will give their views on
the defendants sanity.
At this stage will appear Judge
Powers, hypothetical question which
is said to be even longer than the
one which Delmas propounded in the
Thaw case.
Struck Brown With Umbrella.
The government brought out in the
course of cross-examination that at
one time during a quarrel Mrs. Brad
ley had struck Brown a blow across
the face with an umbrella, knocking
out several teeth.
She denied ever threatening to
blow Browns head off if he refused
TO marry her.
When she reached the stand this
morning Mrs. Bradley was very ner-
vous The racking strain of cross
examination is telling on her frail
resources and she controls herself
with difficulty.
Her voice, however, was firm when
she replied to the searching questions
of Attorney Baker. The government
attorney led the witness back to the
farm where in 1908 she had met Max
Brown.
How many times have you been
arrested" asked the attorney.
Three or four times" she replied.
The Hypothetical Question.
Judge Powers followed the govern
ment, who closed their cross-exami-
nation early by putting in his hypo-
thetical question upon which the in
sanity experts will base their replies.
The question differs from the ques-
tion filed in the Thaw case in con-
struction, but it was very intricate
and paid close attention to details.
1t related the fact that Mrs. Brad
ley had two insane aunts, that she
had suffered a blow on the head early
den fits of eXaltation and depression,
possessed strongly maternal instincts
and that the revelation of Browns
love of Mrs. Adams unbalanced her
reason.
This will be followed by the ques-
lions: Assuming these to be facts, |
could the defendant distinguish right |
from wrong? Was she mentally re-
sponsibe? Was she insane?

FRIENDS DEFEND FANNING-
Declare "MOonshiner" Story Rank
FalsehOod - Was Honored Pho

neer.
Among old residents of Pendleton
who knew c. o. Tanning during his
life time, much indignation has been
expressed over the stories published
in the Tribune and Portland Oregon
ian to the effect that a "moonshin-
er's" still had been discovered upon
his place.
Colonel ]. H. Raley, close friend
and acquaintance of the dead pio-
neer denies emphatically that he ever
engaged in such an unlawful act
while other pioneer friends declare
similar beliefs.
While eccentric in his behavior, Mr.
Tanning is declared by all who re-
member him to have been most hon.
orable and upright in every way.
The Tanning place, at the mouth
of Mckay creek, is now owned by T.
j. Cheney, who is one of those who
scout the idea of a still having been
found 1t is said an employe of the
dairy ranch recently found some
cider that was stored on the place
seven years ago when the Cheneys
purchased it. This probably led to
the circulation of the "moonshiner"
story which being taken up by the
morning paper, worked grave injus-
tice on the memory Of an honored
pioneer.
Mrs. Tanning, widow of the pio-
neer, is now living in the city and has
been almost broken-hearted over the
story which she stoutly declares is
wholly false.

The Charming Woman

is not necessarily one Of perfect form
and features. Many a plain woman who
could never serve as an artists model
possesses those rare qualities that all the
world admires: neatness, clear eyes,
clear smooth skin and that sprightliness
of step and action that accompany good
health. A physically weak woman is
never attractive, not even to herself
Electric Bitters restore weak women,
give strong nerves, bright eyes, smooth,
velvety skin, beautiful complexion.
