HUGE GRAND RONDE CROP.
La Grande Apple Shipping Season is
Nearly Over.

La Grande-The final estimates of
what the apple crop in the Grande
Ronde valley will be can now be made
with some degree of accuracy, as the
shipping season is far advanced. With
80 per cent of last years extraordina-
rily large crop in the La Grande vicin-
ity and about rs per cent in the Cove
districts, it appea.s that when the ap-
Piles are all shipped out, 1926 cars will
have been drafted into service, to han
die the output.
Shipments are rapid, though in small
lots, and mostly by consignment. Few
direct sales are made, and the largest
sales are confined to local dealers.
There is no organization in this county
and the growers have to rely on their
own judgment as to when to let go.

Rail Work Progresses,

klamath Falls-The terminus of the
California Northeastern railway has
been moved from Calor, on the state
line, to Worden, which is about two
miles from water. Track is now being
laid beyond Worden. Holland, the sta
tion on the straits, will be the termi-
nus in December, where boats will
connect for klamath Falls. A steam
shovel is now in operation in Klamath

SHEEPMEN ANGERED.
Do Not Believe Their Range Allotment
Should Be Reduced.

Pendleton-"The Forestry depart
ment is simply trying to drive us out
of business" declared William Slush-
er, ex-representative from Umatilla
county and a prominent sheepman,
when told of the big cut to be made in
the number of sheep to be allowed up
on the Wenaha forest range next year.
Announcement of the cut, which
amounts on the average to about per
cent, has just been received from j. M.
Schmitz, the supervisor in charge.
Three years ago cut of 20 per cent
was made. Last year it was IL per
cent and the new cut brings the total
reduction for the years to 40 per cent.
"The reason they give US is that the
range will not stand to be pastured so
heavily as last year, but l have been
in the sheep business long enough to
know something about the range and
what it will stand. | have run sheep
in the Wenaha forest for a number of
years, and | never saw the range in
better condition than it was this fall.
This, too, despite the fact that the
present summer was one of the driest
in the history of the sheep industry in
Eastern Oregon. certainly cannot
see any real need for reduction. Meth
er can any other sheepman who is using
the range in the Wenaha forest
This years cut affects the large
sheepowners more than the small ones.
Flocks of over 5000 will be cut 20 per
cent, while those of under 1900 will
be allowed on the range without any
reduction.

FINCH KILLS FISHER.
Oregon Bar Prosecutor Shot by Dis
barred Lawyer.


Portland, Nov. Attorney Ralph
B. Fisher, prosecutor for the grievance
committee of the Oregon State Bar
association, was shot and killed almost
instantly at 80 O'Clock Saturday
afternoon by Attorney J. A. Finch,
who had been recently disbarred as the
result of charges of drunkenness that
were prosecuted by Mr.. Fisher
The tragedy occurred in Mr.. Fishers s
private Office, 322 Mohawk building,
Third and Morrison streets. Miss
Verna Burkhart, Mr.. Fishers steno-
grapher, was the only witness, and she
fled screaming from the room. The
assassin emerged deliberately from the
room where lay his victim, walked
down the corridor and was about to
take the elevator when seized by DR..
H. F. Leonard, who detained him.
Finch was at once taken into the
office from which sulphurous moke was
still pouring, and looked down upon the
PROSTATE form that he had slain. He
gazed coolly and apparently unmoved
upon the bleeding figure, uttered not
word, turned and walked out in the
Gus tody of the officers.
II wouldn't speak to him, and I'll
get the rest of the bunch" Finch said
to one of the officers who rode in the
patrol wagon with him to the station.
At the city Jail Finch positively de-
MED the murder to District Attorney
Cameron. He had been in his own
office nearly all day, he said, and had
not been near Mr.. Fishers office. He
talked confusedly and at times unintel-
ligibly, apparently under the influence
of either drugs or liquors, or premedi
tatingly preparing grounds for the de-
fense of insanity.

THOUSANDS HOMELESS.
Rapid Rise Of Oklahoma River Causes
Great Damage.

Rapid Rise Of Oklahoma River Causes
Great Damage.
Guthrie, Okla, Nov. 30.-As a re-
suit Of 48-hour downpour in the val
ley of the Cottonwood river and it's
tributaries, the Cottonwood overfowed
here yesterday afternoon. Several
hundred homes are partially under
water in West Guthrie, and 5000 per-
sons are homeless.
The river at o'clock last night was
one foot higher than ever before in it's
history and rising IL inches an hour.
Hundreds of people who refused to
get out of the flood district, believing
that the river would not rise as rapidly
as it did, fired shots of distress during
the night, and hundreds Of boats with
rescuers brought the tardy ones to
places of safety.
1t is believed that few persons are
still in their homes.
So rapid was the rise in the Cotton
wood that 20 head of cattle in the
affected district were drowned before
they could be got out of the waters.
Streetcar service is completely at a
standstill. The city's water plant is
under water.
Five thousand dollars worth of cot
ton belonging to the Farmers Oil mill
was washed away, and 1000 bales are
still in the water. The Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe roundhouse and shops
are inundated.
All railroad trains in and out of
Guthrie have been annulled. Near
Seward, Okla, the Santa Fe tracks are
out and the railroad bridge at Red
Rock has been washed out. The Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas and the Fort
Smith & Western railroads report
many miles of track out near this city.
The Denver, Enid and Gulf train is
waterbound at Crescent. The Eastern
Oklahoma railroad trains are being
held at Saltwater. According to re-
ports reaching this city, many miles of
track on these two roads are either
washed out or so completely under
water that it is impossible to move
trains.

Rains Help Crook Range.

Prineville-Rains and light snow.
which have fallen here at intervals for
four days, are stimulating range grass
and fall grain wonderfully, so that the
outlook for next year, both as to graz
ing and arming is good. A great
deal of fall wheat has been sown and
it is already up and making a good
showing. Cattle are in good shape
and so far there is every indication that
they will go through the winter well.
Interest is being manifested in fruit.

Apple Fair is Postpor ed,

McMinnville-The proposed apple
fair for Yamhill county, that was to
have been held here on November 27
and 28, has been called off by the COM
mittee in charge. The reasons given
for the abandonment of the enterprise
are that it is impossible to interest a
sufficient number of the leading horti-
culturists to bring exhibits on account
of its close proximity to the state hor-
ticultural exhibit, to be held in Port
land the following week.

was Douglas county's Thanksgiving
contribution this year. The prices
ranged from II to Fl cents. These fig
ures do not include the other poultry,
chickens, ducks and geese, which were

tons being sent from Roseburg. The
number sent from the smaller towns in
the county is not yet known and is i'm

SUMMER BUSINESS
 WAS ENCOURAGING
A Number of Comparatively Recent Transactions by the Greene & Griffin Investment Go.

The Greene & Griffin real estate and investment company has not found summer life in Phoenix entirely profit less even though the senior member of the firm has been away most of the time and the statesmen have taken a turn, about on their vacations.

 Mrs. N. F. Cole to Robert and John Wright, the north half of the north east quarter of section 31 township 3 north. range ? east. The selling price of this property was $10,000 and the buyers are two young men who were raised in this valley and know that its real estate is good to get hold of.
 c. w. RambO to Emeline Christian son, six acres in section B. township 1 north, range ? east for S1S00. This place is improved with a frame house, barn and orchard.
