SOLDIER GIVEN
BRIE T RESPITE
Governor Allows Price, a Con
federate Veteran, Thirty Days
to Ask for Clcmency.

Governor Swanson yesterday granted
q respite 10 j. II. Price, a Confederate
veteran, who was sentenced to hang
In Russell county on June 10th, for the
murder of S s. Rhodes.
The papers in the case were pre-.
sented by Mr.. Burt Wilson. and the
Governor agreed to give the prisoner
thirty days in which to prepare his
petition Cor Communication of sentences.
If he is not convinced by July 10th
that 1T is ~ case for further executive
interference, the man will hang on that
day
The case is one of peculiar interest,
owing TO the age Of Price and the
circumstances of the killing. 1t appears
that Price had been hunting. and was
under the influence of liquor. Rhodes
dined with him, and when the meal was
nearly over a dispute arose which cul-
minated in Price blowing ont the
brains of his guest.
1t is alleged now that Prices mind
is unbalanced. His petition is signed
by nearly 200 citizens, including eight
of the jurors who tried him. The Coy
ernor will study the situation carefully
before taking any final action.

DR.. N. c. FINDLEY
AT HOME AGAIN

d. VI. G. Findley is home again
aItef.an absence of nearly six months.
during which time he has visited
nea!ly all the important cities of
Europe. The dooter's trip was for the
purpose Of studying the latest methods
of treatment of diseases but managed
TO see the things of interest wherever
he went Since his return he has
been entertaining his friends with
stories Of his trip and warns his
place in the hearts OF Oregonians by
saying that he was much impressed
with the fruit advantages OF America
as compared with any other country,
and first with the quality Of the fruit
OF Oregon as compared with any of
the other countries he has been in /;
that Italy, the socalled garden spot of
the world can not produce the quality
Of fruit we have here.
Speaking of his work in his pro.
fession, the doctor says, the idea
which generally prevails as to the
lectures Is wrong. Most persons
think that the lectures..are in the Ian.
gusge Of the country where they are
given. but this impression is erro.
neous as all the lectures be attended
were in English.
Another advantage Of his trip abroad
which the doctor appreciates was the
opportunity of supplying himself with
most Of the new instruments used by
the leaders In his profession.

work In Vienna was much better than
any other place he has been while for

Mr.. Malboeuf talked at considerable
length telling of the great advantages
70 the community Of maintaining a
cannery that could handle the surplus
fruit and congratulated Mr.. Sampson
on the showing made by him, which
he said was better than most other
canneries in the state. 1t is matter
Of regret, he said that the fruit
growers generally we're not inclined to
sell their fruits TO the came y instead
Of shipping TO New York and other
distant points but explained that the
fruit growers were som times carried
away with the high prices paid at
times for choice fruit and naturally
were in hopes of receiving top price
for all of their product. whereas if
they would ship only such fruit as
there was demand for and sell the
alance to the canneries they would
make a larger profit and never find
themselves in the position Of having
their fruit reach an over supplied
market and get little or nothing for
it, He also explained that in all fruit
sections in which great progress had
been made it was only after the or.
chardists had learned that the cannery
was an institution established for
their benefit, but that it could not
prosper or help them to prosper unless
they would deal with it.
There was considerable talk on this
line after which the outside appear.

upon and here again Mr.. Mslbouef
suggested that If they would keep the

1t would go far toward assuring the
people, especially the travelling public,
that it was indeed live institution

the meeting was over Manager Samp.

TO BE BUILT
In GRANTS PASS

A. H. Farnum of Uxbridge, Mass.
is 10 the city for the purpose of max
ing arrangements for the establish
ment of a creamery here. He at
tended the meeting of the Commercial
Club Tuesday evening.and stated that
he was in position to provide the
necessary machinery, and asked the CO :
operation of the business men to assist
him in various ways.
Mr. Farnham was here two year,
ago on the same project and concluded
TO put in tho creamery but was Obliged
to go east on business matters and
while away was Informed that an
other creamery had been established
and so dropped the matter for the
time being. Recently, on learning
hat tn re was yet AN opening, decided
to come here.
The Commercial Club referred Mr..
Farnham TO their executive com
mittee and they in turn appointed a
committee to assist him. We learn
since that satisfactory arrangements
are under way and that the creamery
will probably be establ shed within the
city limits of Grants Pass in the very
near future. Mr.. Farnham was called
to Portland on business Wednesday
even ng and before leaving made ar
raugemenls with Secretary Andrews of
the commercial Club to interview the
farmers of this section with view of
securing their dairy product. 1t would
be well for those who will wish to deal
