Punch Bowl Stops Salmon.

Reports come that the salmon are
teeming in Hood river. At the Punch
Bowl, a great blowout in the west
fork of the river, into which pours. the
waters of the west fork and those of
Dead Point creek, forming great
whirlpool, the fish are meeting with
their annual difficulty. The salmon
come into the whirlpool and attempt to
leap and the falls, but without success,
the distance being too great. The
sight of the fish darting out Of the
seething waters is novel one to those
who have never before witnessed the
faithful efforts of a salmon to reach
the headwaters Of a stream. A fish
ladder is needed at the point in order
that the fish may cross.
The Punch Bowl is a favorite goal
for Sunday excursionists and fisher
men. A number of beautiful fish have
been caught there this season.

DEFRAUD ORCHARDISTS

The following dispatch from Corval-
lis to the Portland Telegram says that
several takers in different parts of the
State are perpetrating frauds upon the
farmers and orchardmen, giving as
recommendation for their spurious
wares the names Of professors at the
Oregon Agricultural College, who
never heard of them. Dean Arthur b.
Cordley has Just received a letter from
farmer near Tualatin, asking his
opinion of a new treatment of orchard
to render them immune from all kinds
of pests for six years, to which the
agent claims TO have Dean Cordey's
Endorsement.
"a man named Saunder, the letter
says, "claims to have treatment
whereby he renders trees immune from
disease by the application of some
chemicals to the roots, especially apple
trees. He claims that they will be
cured of anthracnose, and that the cod
lin moth will not bother such treated
trees for six years, and that no spray
ing is required on treated trees, other
thar a light spray of concentrated lye
once every two or three years, to keep
moss off the trees. Mr.. Saunder gave
me the name of Professor Cordey as
reference, so | ask the college to give
me its opinion. regard this fellow
as fraud, pure and simple, and in
order to protect my neighborhood from
his operations. ! have written to the
college" "
Dean Cordley replied 81 know
nothing whatever of him, and if
should give my testimony in the case,
it would be to the effect that any man
who claims to be able to render trees
immune from the attacks of the Goblin
moth, anthracnose, and other fungus
diseases by an application of certain
chemicals to the roots Of trees, is a
fraud"
Another letter from Lebanon states
that a young man claiming to be con-
nected with the college is taking sub
scriptions for a paper, offering a pre-
MUM, which turned out to be fraud.
Dean Cordley has issued the statement
that there is no man, student or other,
connected with the college, of that
name, and that he is evidently merely
trading upon the popularity and repu-
tation of the college in order to make
his way smooth for his fraud.

Summer Home in KliCkitat.

Oscar J. Nelson, who owns $40 acres
on the Simcoes, a few miles north of
Goldendale, known as the lHornibrook
place, is making arrangements to
build new house on this fine place,
and he and family expect to make it
their home during the summer months.
This is an ideal place to spend the
summer, for here is fine shade, ice cold
pure spring water, good hunting and
it is also close to excellent trout fish
ing. He will plant several acres to
orchard, principally apple trees, and
will also plant several acres to straw
berries. Just think Of eating nice fat

GANG OF BURGLARS
Especial to THE TIMEs)

East Chicago, Ind. March IA lit

Earl Burdette 4S31 White Oak avenue.
is believed to have been the means of
frustrating the plans OF gang of
burglars who were circulating about
the neighborhood in which the Bur-
dettes live. Saturday evening
One of the suspects was arrested. but
the police are In some doubt as to
whether the man was merely intoxi-
Gated or really was a member of the
alleged gang of burglars
The man under arrest gave his name
as Steven Chensky, and told Sergeant
Mike German, who made the arrest.
that he had been in East Chicago only
three days, having come here from
Pittsburg. other officers say that
Chenisky's face is familiar to them and
that they believe he has lived here for
some time.
The little daughter OF the Burdettes
answered a knock on the door last Sat-
urday evening. When she opened the
door she was confronted by man
whom she took to be intoxicated and
who she said attempted to pass her
and enter the house. She slammed the
door in his face and ran to her father.
whom she told of what had happened.
Burlette went out to the alley, back
of his house, where he found the man
apparently in a deep sleep. He notified
the police and Sergeant Mike German
came. over with the buggy and took in
the somnolent stranger
While on his way to the station, the
man, who in the opinion of Mike, was
shamming intoxication, suddenly rous-
ed himself from his apparent stupor
and sprang from the buggy Mike
drew up sharply and managed to catch
hold of the mans coat collar as he
jumped and yanked him back into the
buggy. He landed the prisoner in the

police station and assigned him to a
CELL and by this time all indications of
intoxication had vanished.
1t developed that the man had been
making a round of the houses in White
Oak avenue. going from door to door
and asking who lived in each house. 1t
later developed that there were two
other men in the vicinity doing the
same thing. and this fact coupled with
the apparent pretense OF intoxication
on the part OF the arrested man, led
the police to believe. that the man.
who gave his name as Steven Chen
isky was a member of trio of bur-
glars who were looking over the neigh
borhood with view to finding a con-
yenent place for Their operations.
