the price obtained hereabouts, and Il
Is only a matter of time, and a short
time at that, when the Salem Or
ehards will bring as high prices as
those OF California, as they produce
better paying crops. Shrewd invest
ors are realizing this more and more
every day, and, while prune growers
OF the Rosedale section have made
good money on their crops, their
greatest harvest is still to be
realized from the advance In prune
lands.
This big deal was consummated
by the c. o. Constable Land Co, who
are making a speciality of the prune
business. Mr.. Constable is a practic-
al pmne grower himself, and is de-

clal capacity to jug anyone for an
indetsrmlnate and Indefinite time
IL he falls TO successfully conceal
HIS opinion OF the court. Every
court is a Judge OF It's own con-
tempt matters, and professional
courtesy forbids other judges inter-
fering with the punishment OF this
class OF Offenders.
It 10 fortunate indeed that the
judges are not prone TO disabuse
this power, and Il IL greatly TO their
credit that they seldom invoke it;
but Il Is true Just the same. While
the power War given to enable the
courts to enforce their orders, IL has
OF late years, especially In the fed
oral courts, been made TO take the
place OF the statutes, and persons
ere punished for contempt OF court,
while innocent OF, or at least not
punished for. the original offense
With which they were charged.
For Instance, there Is the Shipp
case, appealed from the Tennessee
courts to the supreme court OF the
United States. Tfa court had or
dered Shipp, who was n sheriff, to
pl otect negro under arrest, and
in his charge. A mob had threaten
ed TO hang the negro, and, subse-
quent TO the comrt's order, did hang
him; whereupon the sheriff, his
deputies and some others were In
dlcted for conspiracy 10 murder the
negro, bctsuse the, de- verel him
up 10 the mob. How much resist
ence they made does not appear In
the dispatches concerning the case,
but that does not matter. In the
trial OF the case the killing of the
negro was lost sight of. In the fact
that In disobeylng the orders OF the
court they had committed greater
offense. that OF "lese majestic or

ator from that state, was trying a
case at Chillicothe, in which Tom
Corwln, the great political stump
speaker waL one OF the attorneys.
Corwln, In the heat OF the fray, was
guilty of a breach OF bad court eti-
quette, and Tappan fined him $50,
which was a goodly sum in those
days.
Corwin, who was really great
admirer and good friend Of Tap
pans, Immediately began an hum

ting his offonse. said: "Your hon

your heart for me, and would be
grieved TO see me confined in the
jail. I have not the money to pay
the fine, and VIII have to be incar-
cerated for such time as your honor
sees fit 10 give me, unless, indeed,
moved by our many years OF inti-
macy and friendship, your honor
would kindly loan me the $50 with
which to pay the fine."
A smile crept over Tappan's face,
and turning TO the clerk he said:
"Mr. Clerk. remit that fne. The
state OF Ohio is better able 10 lose
$50 than / am"
Another contempt story was told

TO ride the circuit and practice be-
fore Judge Tappan; In fact, the first
story came from the same good old
dad" A horse thief had been ar
rested down In Scioto county and
was brought before Tappan for trial

The trial was concluded, the de-

for receiving sentence being at hand
