CHESTERFIELD COURT HOUSE.
Va, Sept S.--Hoping TO place the fate
OF Henry Clay Beattio before the Jury
who hold the power Of life and death
over him, before nightfall, Judge Wat
son today convened court a full hour
ahead Of the usual time,
Today was the day for the finaI
round Of the wordy warfare which
will conclude the case. Harry NJ.
Smith, the keen witted chief OF tho
defense began the day, 20 place before
the Jury the last words they Will hear
in favor OF the prisoner. Then viii
come the merciless Wendenburg, the
special prosecutor. 1t was believed
when court opened that the arguments
would be concluded early this even
ing and that verdict might be reach
ed before the jury was locked up for
the night.

clared Boattie today. with his air Of

Beattie preserved the same calm de-
meanor today that has marked him
since his arrest two months ago. Not a

five minutes later he was smiling
again.
Greater Crowd Than Usual.
A greater crowd than usual gathered
at Chesterfield Court House today to
hear Smith and Wendenburg, who are
! known as the best lawyers and the
best pleaders in the state. Judge Watt
son again barred women from the
= court room. but a score Of them stood
about beneath the open windows lis-
tcning eagerly.
When Beatie entered the court room
he held a hurried conference with
Harry Smith. They went over tho
) notes Of Smiths speech togethrc and
Deatie suggested some changes.
Under the Indictment charging Beat
tic with the killing Of his wife but two
verdicts are possible The jury holding
power of life and death over tho ac-
cused man can either find him guilty
OF murder I'm the first degree as
charged in the Indictment or mot

simultaneously Astor rushed out of

scurried about the city on apparently
the most important of errands. At the

buzz of activity and the belief gained
ground that Astor has at last found a

PARKDALE SMOKER
PROFITABLE EVENT

From the number that attended the
Smoker held under the auspices of the
Upper Hood River Valley Progressive
Association on Friday the l3 demon
strates the fact that there are bnt a
few superstitious people in that region.
The only evidence that any exi ted
was the fact that those who attended
would not permit anything to come
between them and a good time.
} hn Goldsbury, the genial presi-
dent of the Association acted as master
OF ceremonies and introduced Colonel
Fucker, who gave very interesting
narrative of his life in the Service.
The Colonel declared, "In all my
travels from Alaska to the gulf, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific | have vet
to find a more beautiful spot than the
Upper Hood River Valley" an asser-
tlon which Immediately sent land
values soaring. The famous Opper
Valley Quartette rendered some very
appropriate selections and Homer
Rogers did some wonderful things to
the piano. Milton Bentley had James
Fenimore Cooper dashed to the
mast in narrating tales of the sea,
while the stories told by w. Mason, l..
Rose. 5. X. Mcdonald, X. j. McIsaac
G Uptegrove, j. Johansen. J. Wishart
Chas. Moody and Ray Babso1 added to
the merriment Of the occasion. The
refreshments were served in a very
unique manner, the favors consisting
of books which contained literary
gems. Letters of regret were read
from Chas. Steinhauser, who was to
have read a paper on "HoW to make
hay Without the Aid of Sushine. F."

Youths After Reward.

One of most villianous schemes. con-
sidering the youth of the conspirators.
ever attempted in the state was that
last week attempted by Harry Har-
wo2d and james Hawkins, aged re-
spectlvely II and l6 years, who told
The police at The Dalles that a com
panion of theirs. Richard Holmberg.
was the murderer of the Hill family
near Portland. They asserted that
they were with Holmberg at the time
and that he held them under a kind of
hypnotic power. Under his influence
they had been forced to commit num-
Der of robberies, they said.
A deputy sheriff hid under their bed
ami heard them tell of the plans of the
conspiracy, and when confronted they
confessed that ii was scheme to secure
the reward offered as well as notoriety.
The plans bad been the result of read.
ing cheap sensational literature.

CHECK ARTIST
REAPS HARVEST

A man giving his name as Geo.
Mason reaped rich harvest here Sat
urday night, when he passed three
bogus checks among local merchants.
Losses were sustained in the city by
Moran & Lathrop. Frank A. Cram and
b. A. Franz. the check cashed by each
having been for a sum of S35. The
check artist appeared in the city Sat.
urday and opened an account, deposit
ing Sl2, at the Hood River Banking &
Trust Co. During the course of the
evening he purchased a sweater coat at
Cram s store, pair of shoes at Morlan
& Lathrops and pistol at the Franz
store, securing the balance of each
check in cash.
The man claims to have been work
ing for A. 2. Slade, and the checks
were forgery on Mr.. Slade drawn in
favor of Mason. He is said Ito have
been of very honest appearance.
AS soon as the forgeries were dis
covered Monday search was made
for the culprit, who, however, had
fled

COLUMBIA SCENERY
BEAUTIFUL IN FALL

Always beautiful, the scenery along
the Columbia river between Portland
and Hood River is never more gorgeous
than in the fall Of the year. The
frosts of the season have touched the
leaves Of the little dwarfed vine
naples and the foliage of the poison
oak, the latter of which because Of its
handsomeness and similarity to the
maple is often disastrous to the unwary
sseeker for autumn leaves. They have
turned golden, crimson and dozens of
other colors. AL mingle with the
green of fir trees and moss covered
boulders and the light brown grasses
and dying weeds and the cold gray of
the crags. The picture they form is
one that is noted by the passengers of
the O-W. K. q N. Go. The gorgeous
display of prodigal nature makes the
Apple City Portland trip pleasure
never to be forgotten.
Hood River people, who find it Zee
essary to visit the states metropolis
by the early morning train find the
high cliffs especially beautiful as they
are struck by the rays of the early
morning sun. At times clouds hang
around the tops of the highest points.
Beautiful. indeed, is the picture when
the rays can be seen penetrating the
gorge through rift of the dark gray
vapor.
1t will be but a short time, ac-
according to the opinion of men who
have been connected with the construc-
tion of the trail as nov cut, until the
Hood River Valley will be penetrated
by an automobile and wagon road from
the Sandy Glacier to the Upper Valley
and connecting with main thorofares.
1t is even thought by some, that an
earlier appropriation will make pos
sible the way by this fall.
When the road is opened, it is pre-
dicted that it will make a favorite
pleasure route for the people of Port
land On week ends they will travel
in their cars up the new way, down
through the Valley and return to Port
and on the train, shipping the automo-
bile down by boat. 1t would be impos-
sible tosimagine boulevard with more
beauties, and the return Jour
ney along the river, because Of its
scenic chorus, will also lure.

Baked appIes Taken From Tree

What do you think of picking baked
apples from the tree? Baked fruit was
taken from tree in the Hood River
valley last week. City Recorder H.
b. Langille and several city officials
were down inspecting the old pest
house, near which grows pearmain
apple tree. They were attracted 10
the tree because of the large number
OF blossoms on it. On approaching
they noticed that the apples hanging
from the limbs were all brown on the
blossom end. Picking some of them
they found that they had been baked
by grass fires that had ragged in the
vicinity during the dry months this
summer.
A tree, which, however. had no
apples on it, standing near the one
containing the baked fruit OF its
branches, was loaded down with bios
SONS as though it were Spring. The
heat from the fires probably caused
the bl0ssoming out'of season.

HOOD RIVER HAS

The Hood River Valley has the honor
of having the first exhibit of apples on
the branch at the Portland Chamber OF
Commerce. The apples, which arc
beautiful specimens of 0rtIeys, were
grown on the Sheperd place. There
were eight big perfect fellows on the
branch, and they will look fine, when

get branch intact. Tell him to send
US some more of other varieties for we
have lots of space here for Hood River
exhibits. "

Holding In Texas.-One hundred and
forty nine chairmen in as many Texas
counties, have been appointed by
Governor o. B. Colquitt to assist In
spreading the gospel of Hold your
cotton" This fact became known on
Wednesday when Mr.. Colquitt MADE
public a letter he had written to Gov
ernor O'Neal Of Alabama, urging MIN
to follow his lead.
The governor further declared that
the campaign of education would be
followed with neighborhood meetings
in which an endeavor would be made
to show the cotton planter the advant-
age of marketing his cotton slowly and
in reducing his acreage. The chalr-
men are Farmers Union men. They
will be assisted by an additional ap-
pointee in each county whom the gov
ernor intends to name in the near fu-
ture.
In support of the campaign project
ed for this year to hold cotton the gov
ernor says his information shows the
Indian crop Is from 100000 to 100000
bales short: that China and Japan Will
REQUIRE 100000 more bales than In 1910
and that the needs of the continent
will total a similar amount, thus
making the total consumption of
American cotton, according to the
stead of 13,750,000 bales, as announc..
ed at the New Orleans meeting OF
governors of southern states.
Governor Colquitt was chosen at the
New Orleans conference to devise
ways and means to secure a better
price Of cotton. He says the letter TO
O'Neal outlines the steps he has tax
en- thus far and indicates the plan he
thinks the governors Of other states
ought to follow.
