were released Monday afternoon.
The boldness of the holdups is caus-
ing citizens whose business requires
them to be out nights to take cab
or car for their homes. The theory
is advanced that the same men who
held up the West Side saloon have
committed all the holdups and are
located in this city, but not of the
hobo class of crooks. A trace of anna
teurism has shown in the crimes of
the stick-up artists. Their hastiness
in shooting Alexander Saturday is
one instance 1t has developed that
the reason Alexander did not hold
up his hands as fast as the thugs de-
sired was that he carried bundle
under his arm. and thoughtless!y
hung onto 1t. The last reports were
that Alexander was progressing nice
ly. A man found lettering in the
railroad yards Monday night was
locked up by the police.

GROWERS ASSOCIATION
Movement Finds Considerable Sup
port Among Orchardists Living
Near North Yakima.

Construction or purchase of a
large packing and shipping ware
house in North Yakima is one of the
plans of the fruit grows association
that Is being formed by orchardists
near .orth Yakima. the announce
ment being made u this plan as a
result of a report that the association
was only planning to load cars direct
from wagons and consigning them
under the association name.
DR.. Granville Lowther. who Is one
of the leaders in forming the asso-
citation. says that this reported meth
cd of shipping would not be consid-
cred AT all. that no haphazard man
ner of handling the fruit would he
followed and that from the begin

Mr.. Evans received the sum of 1852
for the packed Arkansas Blacks. This
is at the rate of $1011 per acre. and
the result was a surprise, not only
to Mr. Evans but to many who live
in other parts of the valley. When
it is remembered that this variety is
neither the highest nor the lowest
priced apple. but a good average. it
shows what can he accomplished by
an orehardist who understands his
business. and also what can be done
in the Yakima valley in what is gem
orally conceded to be an off year

Mr.. Evans is receiving the congratu-
lations of his neighbors. many of
whom also have excellent orchards,
giving large crops. and still further
testifying to the fertility OF the Sec
tion for fruits.

Second and Third Classes.

Powers of the municipalities Of the

control. operation and building Of
city water works. or the purchase Of
such plants. are set forth by Judge
Carroll II. Graves OF Seattle in an
opinion handed to Jesse H. Rose
president of the Rose Land Co, and
requested by the latter. In this opin-
ion Judge Graves says that the pow
ers Of the two classes are Identical
HIS opinion, in fun, is as follows:
November -. 1908.
Mr. ]. II. Rose. Seattle. Wash.
Dear Sir: You have requested my
opinion upon the point as to whether
the powers OF city Of The third class
in this state are as broad and com
plete as the powers OF a city of the
second class, in regard 10 the con-
struction, purchasing. acquiring. etc,
Of water works for the purpose Of
furnishing such city and its inhabi-
tants with a supply OF water. My an
swer is, that the legislature has
granted equal and identical powers
in this regard to the cities of every
class in this state. The act of March
IA. 1899. at page $50 OF the session
laws Of 1898. provides in substance

with an ample supply OF water. etc.
Can Pay for Water Works.
BY the act of March 1G. 1901. at
page la of the session laws of 1901.
ample provision is made for any such
city TO pay for the construction of
such works either by paying cash
from any available fund or by Great
ing special fund and drawing war
rants upon IT, or by issuing general
city bonds The legislative acts
above referred to can be found upon
pages 20 to 73 inclusive. OF the sup
plement TO Ballingers code.
In addition to such legislation. the
law providing for the incorporation

on The cities Of each class to supply

My conclusion is that city of the

Reports that have been received

RABBIT ROUNDUP
NEAR SUNNYSIDf
KILL OVER $50 OF THE PESTS
Over One Hundred Men Engage
in United Hunting
Trip.

SUNNYSIDE, WASH. Nov. 80
The first rabbit roundup of the sea-
son in this vicinity was observed
Thanksgiving day. Each winter
there are two or three of these hunts
to rid the country of the pests to
fruit trees and to afford the gunners
sport. In this drive there were 80
horsemen and IS on foot. The men
encircled 40 to 100 acres of sage
brush land and all moved toward the
center, killing every jack possible.
No one was allowed to carry other
than a short range shotgun and not
to shoot outside the ring.
At times there would be 30 long
ears i'll sight. In all about $50
rabbits were killed. One Indian
from near Toppenish hearing of the
drive made special trip of so
miles to gather up the fruit Of the
sport to replenish his larder. The
jacks sell here for 10 cents each and
are shipped to Sound markets. Ar
ranSements were made for another
drive New Years day. The rabbits
are destructive to young orchards
and the large numbers of them in the
sagebrush districts make it neces-
sary to tence and wrap the trees.

PORTLAND LAWYER MURDERED

Plays smooth Game and Claims

tragic feature of the staying of Ralph

ance committee of the Oregon State
Bar association. here today by ]. A..
Finch. disbarred lawyer. that is
second only to the killing itself. was
an unexpected visit to Fishers Of
flee of Mrs. Fisher
When Finch entered Fishers office
and with the words Hello Ralph
on his lips fired the fatal shots. Fish
er was waiting for his wife and baby
son. Fishers body had been taken
away from his office. where the ira
gedy occurred. but there were other
CHASTITY evidences apparent which
conveyed the news to Mrs. Fisher
that her husband had been slain.
Esteemed Lawyer.
Fisher had practiced law in this
city for four years, coming here from
Troy, Idaho. where he read law and
was admitted to the bar. His wife
was the daughter of Thomas Kay.
WOODEN manufacturer of Salem. Fish
er was IS years old. He was the man
who drafted the resolution of SYM
pathy to Mrs. Francis ]. Heney sent
/ by the Bar association. Finch was
born in this state and studied law at
Albany while working for newspa-
! pers. He was admitted to practice
about eight years ago. going almost
Immediately to Salem and shortly
after That came to Portland.
Fisher conducted the disbarment

and 1t was Fishers refusal to sign a
petition urging Finch's reinstatement
that caused today's attack to be
made.
Probably Crazy.
! Finch was either out of his mind
when he shot Fisher or he is playing
a deep game. using his knowledge of
the law to help him in his present
dilemma. While asserting in the
most emphatic language that he did
not see Fisher at all today and con
sequently did not kill him, he talks
perfectly frank on all other subjects
He does not plead forgetfulness
on the other hand when the Officers
who examined him tonight declared
to Finch that he had been seen in

Mohawk building and other matters
connected with the tragedy, he be-
came very excited and told them they
were damned liars" He insisted
that he is not insane He says that
the news that he was disbarred was
a great shock to him He denied that
he had been drinking excessively
since that event.

Shortage of Wheat Crop In East Te
Advantage Of America.

Washington, Sept. 2.-That the time
is at hand for the American Hour mills
to regain the trade which they have
lost In Great Britain, having particular
reference to Liverpool, is the opinion
set forth in a report by Special Agent
Davis Of the bureau OF manufacturing
of the department of commerce and Ia
Dor. The wheat crops of England,
Australia, India, France and Russia, on
which the Liverpool -four mills depend
largely for their supply, are not promis-
ing any surplus yield this year. The
Liverpool mills now control the local
flour trade. but it is pointed out that
various cases give the American mills
an excellent opening to regain lost
trade.
