her toes sticking up at the end Of the

looked like a girl of 16, biggish for
her age. Her clothes. such as they
were, just a blouse and pinafore and
some rags, were very dirty. She was
quite dazed when we got her out Of

if she had just awakened from a long

GIRL LIVES IN BOX,
SEEMED LIKE SPOOK

Iondon.-Nothing stranger has been
related recently in the London police
courts than the escapade of a young
girl in a house in West Kensington.
The girl, Anna Belman, aged six
teen, appeared before the West Lon
don magistrate, charged with being
"a suspected person."
Behind the formal complaint lies a
strange story, which was related by
Mrs. Edgar and her daughter. who
live in the house in question. The
house is a large three-story one, In
a quiet neighborhood.
For a fortnight" said Miss Muriel
Edgar, 1--WE have heard noises in the
house, but we were not nervous, and
we assumed that they were only the
ordinary sounds one hears on a windy
night, the creaking Of DOORS and 9TH
er slight disturbances. We had no.
ticed, however, that the bread had
been going for a fortnight past, and
we could not understand its disap-
pearance.
"One afternoon. the maid came
rushing downstairs and said there was
somebody in her room. I went up, ta-
king a police whistle with me, and
looked under the maids bed. No one
was there, and I opened her trunk
with my foot. / could see no one
there. but l noticed a movement in

TRAIN TEN MILES LONG -
FOR WALIIA WALI4A FRUIT

Walla Walla, Wash-Ten miles of
fruit, the width of refrigerator car,
and packed solidly, will have been
shipped from walla Walla valley this
fall, according to the most conserva-
tive estimates. Those more liberal
place the length of the train that
would be required to haul the fruit at
Is miles. The first estimate is based
upon the estimate of 1900 cars Of
fruit from the valley, but this is con-
sidered low, and men who have
made careful study of the situation
say the shipments will go forward be-
tween 1900 and 1900 cars
The prune season practically closed
last week, and 1t is figured that some
$50 cars of that fruit were shipped
from the valley. The prunes have
been a good source of revenue this
year, and averaged some s2S to $50
ton the season through. BY the
carload they netted about $500, a re-
turn of s125.OOO from the prune or
chards of the valley.
Apples will net much more, as the
big orchards Of the valley are planted
to this fruit. Already shipments Of
fall varieties have begun, and winter
apples are fast ripening. The weather
has been ideal for apples, and the
crop is estimated to be bigger by
nearly third than ever before. Few
apples are damaged by worms this
year, although codling moth appears
to have been a hard problem this sea-
son. Four sprayings seem to have
been too much for the pest, however,
and for the most part the orchards
are remarkably clean.
The other half of the fruit ship
ments are made up from cherries,
pears, peaches and other fruits, which
have been shipped in car lots and in
part cars. The express companies
have been doing0 rushing business
ever since the season opened, and re-
port the heaviest year thy have ever
had.

Pendleton members of the Far
Tners' Educational and Cooperative
Union of America have received cop
les Of a letter from National Presi-
dent Charles S. Barrett of Georgia, in
which he decries the evils of farm
renting and calls upon all members
of the union to acquire possession of
the land from which they make their
living. Scientific and diversified
farming are also urged upon the
members Of the union.
