FIND HEADQUARTERS
OF THE BLACKHAND

Cincinnati. - United States post
office inspectors from this city be-
lieve they have discovered the head
quarters of the "Backhand" in this
country at Marion, o. This belief is
based on documentary evidence found
today when Sam Lima of Marion, o.,
Antonio Vicasco of Columbus, o., and
A. Mafis of Dennison, O., were ar
rested
Chief Inspector Charles Holmes de-
clares that evidence has been OBJ
tanned showing that the band has
fleeced different persons in this and
other states out of thousands of dol
lars in the last few months by Black
hand methods.
Holmes says the Marion band was
composed of Italians, and worked ex-
clusively upon their countrymen. He
has obtained evidence that as late as
two weeks ago they sent from the
Marion postoffice $500 to confeder-
ates in Italy, this being the division
OF Blackhand mail funds in one case.
THE proof We have" said the in
spector "convinces us that they have
worked their game successfully on
many Italians, principally well-to-do
Sicilians.
1--WE have not found where they
ever went after an American. They
meant business when they demanded
money. If their demands we're ig-
nored they resorted to the bomb,
either to bring their victim to time or
to avenge persistent refusal to SUBJ
NIT to blackmail"

MAKES $500 FROM
HALF ACRE OF LAND

about the Crowded condition of the
town, the difficulty in securing work,
and the high cost OF living; why don't
they get out and raise something" I"
said c. E. Fisher, who Is cultivating
80 acres seven miles east of the Multi
nomah county courthouse.
He has raised $4,000 boxes of Ma
goon Strawberries on half an acre
this year, and these berries will net
him $500. He has 20 acres in LAM
bert cherry trees which will produce
$50 worth of fruit to the tree when
they are 10 years old. He is now pre-
pairing to erect handsome residence
on the place and will live like a
king" as he expresses II, and will not
have to overwork himself at any sea-
son of the year.
Five acres such as have will pro-
duce an income that will class the
owner among the nabobs of the coun-
ty and very little manual labor will
be attached to the possession of such
a place" he says. ''In the fruit pack
ing season more or less help will be
required, but the cost of this is small
with gross receipts from
the sale of fruits and vegetables"
Mr. Fisher bought the S0-acre tract
about two years ago for 5000 an acre
and it is now valued at $500, so he
has made money in the advance of
values as well as in the sale of pro-
ducts of the place. He laughs at the
idea of people insisting on living from
hand to mouth in the city. while the
chances of securing a handsome COM
petence on small outlay invites the
industrious to the country a short
distance. His place is near Clarnie
Station, on the O. r. & n.
