Not Guilty,

1t will be remembered that last fall
Lewis Clohan, son of Postmaster Clo-
han was arrested for trespassiug upon
the land of James Hess, near the base
of North Mountain, and damaging
fruit trees. Mr.. Clohan was a reguIary
appointed fruit tree inspector and in
the discharge of his duties cut some
limbs off of some peach trees in Hess
peach orchard in order to mark trees
with yellows. The case was decided
last Thursday by Squire Thompson
who dismissed the case upon the
ground of insufficient evidance.

INQUIRY INTO PAPER TRUST
Speaker Cannon COntemplates Con-
EressiOnRl Investigation of
Methods Employed.

WASHINGTON, April 1s-In the event
the attorney general does not show some-
thing substantial has been done to prose
cute the paper trust as a combination in
restraint OF trade, providing the pending
inquiry shows II is operating in violation OF
law, congress may go into the trust fighting
business on its own account.
Speaker Cannon and Chairman Payne
Of the ways and means committee, contend
that the tariff has nothing to do with the
high price of print paper; that il the scar
city OF the raw product Is not responsible
for IL, then the fault lies with the paper
trust which, by combining factories and
regulating the output, holds the prices up
to suit itself. The speaker does not intend
TO rush into the trust fight, but he may
offer resolution providing for a search
ing inquiry by congressional committee
into the operations of the International
Paper company. This inquiry. IL held, will
touch upon the sources Of supply, the meth

around the stack found Tillery lying
on his back with his skull crushed
and blood squirting from the wound.
Medical aid was summoned, but
both Bend doctors were out of town

Spokane Wash, Dec. 24.-Com-

inland empire and the northwest will
be invited to join the chamber of
commerce and the 10000 club of
Spokane in a memorial to the tariff
revision committee and the Washing
ton, Oregon. Idaho Montana and
Utah delegations in congress asking
for the removal of tariff on coal.
This means that a short ton will be
so cents cheaper than at present, thus
saving thousands of dollars a year to
manufacturing concerns, steam plants,
office and hotel buildings and house
holders in districts depending upon
the mines in British Columbia for
their fuel supply.
Mayor c. Herbert Moore said that
the mines in Washington and else
where in the northwest owned by the
Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern railroads do not produce
much more than to supply their own
needs, adding:
accordingly, for domestic and
manufacturing purposes we get our
supply from Wyoming and British Co.
lumbia. British Columbia is near to
Us and the growth and development
of its coal mines would tend to our
commercial development and would |
build a new mining section il. which |
we would share the profits. refer !
to the mines near Fernie and else |
where to the north of Montana and |
Idaho.
IL understand that the tariff revi-
sion committee is now considering
his problem; ana if the reduced tar
IF is adopted it will be in the nature
" a reciprocal measure with Canada. /
ontario gets most of its coai from
Pennsylvania and Ohio and the Can
idian duty is about the same as ours
