the city and county, and potatoes and
onions put in rapidly. Tobacco bed,
are ding well, and plants sown early
are beginning to show. All beds have
been sown.
A small amount of oats has been
sown, but most Of the farmers are
waiting until little later. Hemp
breaking continues, breakers getting
$1.10 to $1.25 per 100 pounds. Wheat
and rye are dong only fairly well,
and the crop in the county, taken as
an average, is not up TO what is was
last year. dorn is retailing at $500
and 1925 per barrel, and there IS not
an extra large amount for sale, even
at that price.
Young clover IS not in the best Of
shape, but a heavy freeze at this time
would cahse considerable loss.

CHARGED WITH BREACH Of PROMISE

The troubles of William b. Mason
arrested here recently by Sheriff Tay-
lor on the charge of swindllng re-
tired farmer OF Walla Walla, out Of
a large sum of money, are multiply
ing. 1t now seems probable that he
will be compelled to face a breach of
promise suit and few other things
before the officers are through with
him.
Mrs, Ella Weaver, a widow of Chi
cago, is the nemesis who is now on
his track and she promises something
of interest for the alleged bunco ar
tist. She arrived in Pendleton from
Portland Sunday evening, and after
telling the story Of her life to Chief
of Police Gurdane, took the chiefs
advise and followed the prisoner to
Walla Walla. What she will do af-
ter that will be determined later,
According TO the story she told
Gurdane, the woman met Mason in
Chicago last spring. While in CHI
cago he stayed at rooming house
conducted by her. He cultivated her
friendship and after coming west he
induced her to sell her rooming house
and come out to become his wife. He

UNCLE SAM TO WAR
AGAINST ALASKAN VICE

Seattle, Aug. 1.-THE first results
Of the recent efforts of the govern
ment to make war on vice In Alaska
were shown here when the steamer
Senator. arriving from Nome late last
night, brought IL women and four
men from Fairbanks, whom the i'm
migration authorities have arrested as
undesirable aliens. All are being
held at the immigration detention
station here. Efforts will be made to
deport the women who went to Alas
ka from Monreal. and the men will
be prosecuted on the charge of having
imported women for immoral purpos-
es. The immigration officers planned
wholesale arrests at Fairbanks. but
in some manner word to this effect
leaked out and when the officers
made the raid many of the offenders
had fled, seeking safety in the noun
tains. The government is taking
drastic measures to wipe out the vice
in Alaska and the raid at Fairbanks
is said to be only the beginning of
systematic campaign along this line
by the immigration department.

Neel. Fay Weaver, with two Petit
girls, living between Canyonvllle and
Myrtle Creek, on Sunday morning
took their dinner and went to the hills
for the day. To get a better view of
cave they went dangerously near
the edge of the cliff and all four girls
slid over the bank, landing on a flat
rock 80 feet below. where they were
imprisoned for 13 hours. This stop
ping place was the only one In 500
feet.
Here they remained until II o'clock
at night when rescued. At s o'clock
a searching party began to look for
them When found they had thrown
their dinner pals and shoes and
stockings over the cliff in hope Of
drawing attention. Being thinly clad,
they suffered from fright and cold.
The searching party attempted to
rescue them without ropes, and one
man went over the bank. Finally, by
the use Of ropes, they were hauled
back to footing.

San Francisco. Aug. 17.-With the
prediction that more than 10000 of
the $4,000 registered are voting to-
day. San Franclsco's first direct prl-
mary election has developed the ap-
pearance OF final election. A great
amount of writing in is causing the
support of Francis ]. Heney to pre-
dict that he is receiving heavy vote
from all parties for the nomination
as district attorney. The republican
candidate for district attorney is also
running on the write in" ticket.
California's direct primary law, en-
acted at the last session of the legis-
lature. is being given its first practi-
cal test here today, when voters will
make selections from a host of can
didates OF the men who will carry
party standards in the fall campaign.
With the exception of superior judges
and justices Of the peace, a full city
and county ticket will be elected in
November.
The direct primary seems to have
brought forward larger classes Of
candidates than have figured in pre-
vious elections. and while the actual
campaign has been somewhat short
ened, considerable activity has been
manifested.

Mason had fled. The woman found
brother of Mason there but he
could give her no information as ia
the whereabouts of the man who was
to make her his bride. Finally she
went to Portland in search of him
and was there when she saw the ar
ticle in the paper, telling of the Walla
Walla bunco case.
The woman was not sure that the
man was the same one who had de-
ceived her, until she arrived here.
But after she reached Pendleton and
heard the description of the man
from the officers and looked at his
picture, her last doubt was removed
Mrs. Weaver does not say that her
love for the smooth talking individual
has waned, but that is the impression
she left. She also signified her in
tentlon of securing a portion of the
$4,000 which he represented TO her
was the value of his estate.
The woman was about As years OF
age, well dressed and refined in ap-
pearance. She said she had spent
nearly all the money she had realized
from the sale of her rooming house
in searching for the man, who ap-
parently won her love in order to win
her money.
