LONE MAPLE FRUIT FARM
HAS Been SUBDIVIDED
Is Now Placed on the Market-Sma Tracts Offered in the
Most Famous Prune Sect on in the World.

During the past decade Il has been
practically demonstrated that the
land In the hills south Of Salem Is
among tho very best known for the
production CT higL-clags prunes. The
original growers in that section
passed through sevore experiences
and suffered some losses, because
they didn't know how. All were con-
fident that the country had great
merit for prune growing, but the
business still had to be learned. Dur
ing the past ten years, however, the
facts have proven that many of those
fruit growers have thoroughly
learn the busine's.
During the early experimental
stages a young man IN the Rosedale
noighboshood decided that he could
make moro money by inventing a
practical stump puller TO dig up the
abandoned orchards than by trying
TO raise prunos. While he eXperl-
mented with bis machine, another
member OF the Il mily went right on
raising pruneu and was finally
crowned with success. He dropped
the stump puller idea and began 10
take notice that there was big money
In raising pruncs. He then set about
thoroughly learning the prune busi-
ne.s. Aftor several years OF prac-
teal experience, he reversed himself
and decided 10 start a model prune
orchard on n large scale. For this
purpose he selected land such as all
suoce7sful growers agreed 10 be the
best, and started the Lone Maple
Fruit Farm" on one of the most
slightly elevations In Salem's famous
prune district.
The trees were selected and culled
from the best TO be obtained in Ore
CONS most successful nurseries. They
were planted under his practical d.
rectlon, by the mot sklllful help that
he could employ. They were placed
at proper distances and every care
was taken TO overlook nothing that
makes for success in fruit growing.
The result is, he has today the finest
pmne orchard in the
Willamette valley, ? that is equiv
alent TO saying II is the finest OF its
Kind in existence.
This orchard has recently been pur-
cha ed and sub-divlded, TO be placed
upon the market for buyers who want
a superior investment In fruit grow

upon, TO be delivered 20 the purchas-

YlndiCatIOn Of the State

The decisions of the United States supreme court in the Texas case against subsidiary company of the Standard Oil is chiefly valuable and important because it goes to show that the states still have some rights and that the state courts are the true arbi- ters of state laws and state transac- tions
 After a state court had appointed a receiver of the Waters-Pierce Oil con- pany recourse was had to a federal court, and friendly" receiver was appointed at the instance of the oil company. The United States supreme court unanimously sustained the action of the state court.
 The offense of the oil company con- sisted in the establishment of an oil monopoly in Texas, state that has an antitrust and anti-monopoly law. The supreme court of the United States holds a state has a right to prohibit and punish monopolies in restraint of trade. The punishment in the case be- fore the court was a fine of $1 1,623, 900 and custer from the state Severe as the punishment was, the court of last resort unanimously upheld it. The eff fort to avoid punishment because of the due-process-of-law clause of the fourteenth amendment miscarried. There was due process of law. The punishment fitted the gravity and size of the offense, and the state courts had a right to administer it.
 The decision is far-reaching, for it covers all acts done within a states border, and it makes the state the sole judge of those acts and of any punish ment on account of them. It is, too, another warning to inferior federal courts to keep their hands off state acts and state business. In a sense it re-establishes the states which by vari- ous encroachments had been nearly knocked out.

Cuba'S Second Opportunity

On January 2S Jose Miguel Gomez will be inaugurated President, and Alfreda Zayas, vice president, of the republic of Cuba, and Governor Ma goon and the American troops will speedily depart homeward bound.
 The "A Senators and s2 Representa- tives of the new Cuban Congress have already met and they will meet again today to proclaim the election of Co., meg and Zayas, and to get ready for the inauguration ceremonies of next week.
 Cuba's second experiment in self government does not open promisingly, for her new Congress has already shown an intention to permit rooster fighting and to establish a national lot tery. However, Cubans are not Ameri- cans, and they are as much entitled to have what they want as we are to have what we want, always provided they maintain or direct home and do not invite complications from abroad. They will be after Thursday of next week free and independent, but they will be on trial, and they know full well that they must behave pretty well if the yare to retain their freedom and independence.

For "The Raven" he received but s1O, and The Bells was written when he was a broken man.
 The stormy life is ended and the world sees now but the work he did. It does not need to sec how he suf- fered and was pinched with hunger. It does not need to see all that now. It does see what he wrote, and it's ap- preciation of every line he left rises yearly. Poe is one of our immortals whether he be given a niche in the Hall of Fame at Fordham or not. No Halls of Fame are needed now to establish his place in American litera- ture. The American people have at tended to that, and there is no power in this world that can undo or reverse their decision.

THE LITTLE WHITE HEARsE.

TIE LII EG Wfi HEAHSE. By James whitcomb Riley. "old Fash toned Roses.'' As the little white hearse went glimmer- ing by The man on the coal cart jerked his lines, And smutted the lid of either eye, And turned and stared at the business signs; And the street car driver stopped and beat
 His hands on his shoulders and gazed up street
 Till his eye on the long track reached the sky
 As the little white hearse went glim- mering by. As the little white hearse went gliramer- ing by A stranger petted ragged child In the crowded walks, and she knew not why, But he gave her a coin for the way she smiled;
 And the bootblaclx thrilled with pieas- ure strange
 As customer put back his change With a kindly hand and a grateful sigh,
 AS the little white hearse went glim- merlng by. As the little white hearse went glimmer- ing by A man looked out of window dim, And his cheeks were wet and his heart was dry, For dead child even were dear to him 1! And he thought of his empty life and said:-
 'Loveless alive and loveless dead Nor wife nor child in earth or skyv' As the little white hearse went glim- mering by.

poe'S First Centenary

The first centenary anniversary of the birth of Edgar Allan Poe was cele- brated yesterday, and the day brought in many city in the land tributes to the memory of the poet and short story writer. In many of the schools there were Poe programmes, and clubs and literary societies held meetings in honor of the author.
 Poe died in 1S49, at the age of 40 years. Sixty years have elapsed since his death, and they may be said to have been years of vindication for hte poet, who was not appreciated while he lived, and who was villified after his untimely death. He edited paper after paper, magazine after magazine --doing excellent work for all of them but misfortune dogged his steps, and at last he was found on a bench in- sensible and in a dying condition. Nearly all of his immortal lines were written under distressing conditions.
