DEAD MAN FOUND

Under low pine tree and part

remains of we'll dressed man in
the hills midway between Buck

The herder notified the residents
of Smith Valley who telephoned
the fact to the officials Of this coun-

ed by undertaken krummes went to
the scene and returned TO Gardner
vile with the remains. A
coroner's Jury was empaneled
returning verdict that the un-
known man had come to his death
in a manner unknown to them.l
Not the slightest authentic evi-
dence was found. The man had
been dead at least year and n
half, nothing remaining save the
artieulated bones of his skeleton.
The skull was partly under the
shoulders and the right arm was in

Heseman, the name found in the
book. The initial in the handker-
chife corresponds with that name.
He may have been lured to TIE
lonely spot and killed with robbery
as the motive. Still the grip would
seem to advance the theory that he
was travelling. Possibly financial
difficulties overlook him and he

by storm, took shelter under the

is also hinted at from the fact that
a pocket knife with the blade open
and badly rusted, was found close
TO the remains.
The affair is one of deep mystery
aud how this well dressed man
came to wander 40 far into the
mountains, there to die, will never
be known. 1t is possible, however
that that his identity will in time
be revealed.

MACHINERY

II. G. Dangberg has definitely
decided to increase the capacity OF
his water system adequate 10 fur
nish a supply great enough for this
town for some yeirs to come and
this week placed an order for the
additional machinery and mann

that mains would be extend
ed to all parts of town. Aside
from water for domestic purposes,
a complete fire-fighting system will
he inaugurated, as good support
has been received from the citizens.
1t will be possible after the fire
plugs are installed to play three
good streams on any fire that may
occur within the city limits, with
out calling upon the fire engine.
1t is quite probable that after
the system is installed that it will
be the means of reducing the fire
insurance rate.

PRISONER MAKES
HIS ESCAPE

Last Friday morning a convict
by the name of Barry, serving
13 months sentence from Lander
county for horse stealing, escaped
from the Carson prison. He had
but five remaining months to serve
but took advantane of the oapor-
tunity granted him and dashed to
freedom.
He was a trusty and was given
the job of milking the cows, and ut
an early morning hour left for that
duty. However, he went to the
prison stable, saddled a new horse
recently purchased by the prison
authorities from the Hickey ranch
in Antelope Valley and was on
his way to liberty long before his
escape was de ected.
A posse started in pursuit and
in the afternoon at least two Of its
members reach ed Gardnerville and
spent the balance of the day wait
ing for the much wanted man TO
put in his appearance. The lead
er of the posse would have un-
doubtedly taken the bad man, had
he put in his appearance, at least
he talked that way, but needless to
say Barry was making his way ont
of this territory while the guard
awaited his arrival at this watering
place.

Severely Injured.

Hugh Park, well known and one
of the most prominent farmers in
this Valley, met with an accident
last Saturday morning which came
near resulting seriously. He was
opening large farm gate wh,n a
gale of wind took it from his con-
troll, throwing him heavily to the
ground. At the time of the acci-
dent the wind was blowing with
great velocity and the sudden gust
was so strong that when the gate
struck Mr.. Park it broke three ribs
and badly bruised his hand. At
last reports the injured man was
resting nicely and his recovery is
hut question of time.

PAINT Mine
THE LATEST

All kinds of mineral have been
found in Pine Nut and this week
viii Frey who has been prospect
ing in that section added another
TO the already found list of min
erals lie has uncovered a six foot
edge of red graphite, which is by
far superior to anything heard OF
in this section. The rock is very
soft and can be ground up with lit
tie or no effort as fine as powder,
but of corse heavy. 1t carries
seemingly part of oil and is very
adhesive to the hand. A sample
was pounded up in mortor and
mixed with little boiled oil an |
it makes the best brilliant red roof
paint that could be imagined
Different from most mineral paints
it seeps into the wood which facts
will make it very lasting.
Mr.. Frey expects to develop the
find and it is possible that new
industry will spring from the lat
est mine in Douglas County.

THE APPLE FAIR.

The result Of the prize awards a.
the Albany Apple Fair gives much fol
the people OF the Willamette Valley
and the people of Polk county to be
proud of.
One thing over which the apple
growers Of the entire valley may con
gratulat0 themselves-and are con.
graduating themselves-is the won.
derfnl showing made by the Valley
apples in comparison with the vaunted
Hood River product. Linn, Lane,
Benton, Marion and Polk counties all
came In for a share of the awards and
the first prize for the best box of apples
commercially packed went to II. G.
Bushnell, of Junction City, whose dis
play was In competition with those of
other valley growers who had secured
professional packers from Hood River
to prepare their exhibits.
The winning of that award by Mr..
Bushnell, leads local growers to
declare land reasonably to- that the
art Of successful commercial packing
has ceased at last to be an art peculiar
to the famous Hood River country
and the Willamette Valley is at last
beginning to come into its own as the
premier apple raising district of the
world.
Coming nearer home, to a topic of
local Importance, Polk county has
cause for self congratulation from the
fact that although her representation
was comparatively meager, she sue
ceeded in carrying off second prize for
her county exhibit, while the showing
made by her individual exhibitors
was also exceptionally good.
The Willamette Valley should be the
apple center Of the world and Polk
county with its rich, red hill soil,
should be the apple center of the Will
lamette Valley, and the results OF the
Albany Apple Fair indicate that the
day when these things shall be is not
