SHOOTING SCRAPE
At STANF|ElD
COIlORED HIRED HAND
SHOOTS AT WILL HOSKINS
Jack Moulder Tells Officers He Would
Not Have Submitted to Arrest Had
Their Identity Been Known to Him.
Especial Correspondence.) }

Stanfleld, Ore. Feb. 14.-Jack
Moulder, colored, is on his way to the
county Jail in Pendleton where he will
be held to await the action of the
grand jury as the result of a shoot
ing scrape which occurred on the Hos
kins sheep ranch near this place last
evening.
Moulder has been employed by
Rev. ]. T. Hoskins for the past two
years in working with the sheep. Yes
terday morning the two men had some
words concerning a difference over
wages. The colored man finally left
the farm home and went down to one
of the sheep camps where he told
the boys he was going to~"get the old
man"
Hoskns was in town on business in
the afternoon remaining until late
and therefore missed Moulder who it
seems was lying in wait for him by
the roadside. Will Hoskins, a son,
however, encountered the man and
after a quarrel, Hoskins says Moulder
took n shot at him with a 30-30 Win
chester rifle. The bullet went wild
but Hoskins lost no time in getting
back to town and reported the affair.
Constable Glenn Mccullough and
Marshall Jack Hoges then went out
and placed the negro under arrest
In speaking of the affair the col
ored man insisted the gun was acci-
dentally discharged, though he in
formed the officers after his arrest
that had he known who they were
they would never have arrested him.
He also insists that he will "get the
whole Hoskins family" IL he has to
come all the way from Chicago to do
1t
Moulder was given n hearing be-
fore Justice of the Peace Scholl at
Echo this afternoon and held under
81 900 bonds to await the action of the
grand jury. In default of this sum
he will spend some time in Jail.

WARNS AGAINST
TIMBER TRUST

Washington, Feb. l4.-Producing
startling statistics, Commissioner of
Corporations Herbert Knox Smith
sent a special report to congress to-
day asserting a lumber trust is be-
ing organized which will make the
Standard Oil Co. look like pigmy.
Smith declared that four-fifths of the
country's standing timber is privately
owned. Three of these holding tim
ber he says are the Weyerhauser
timber company, the Southern Pacif-
ic and the Northern Pacific, compris-
ing 23S,000,000 feet or IL per cent of
all the privately owned timber in this
country. Most of this is in the
Northwest.
He said the danger of such concen-
trating of power and property was
Northwest. Smith declared the South
ern Pacific is the largest individual
owner of timber holding control of
ten billion feet.
Smith reported there had been
many protests against such concen-
tration OF timber control which is per-
mitted would result in complete con-
troll of the timber industry in future.
He said the largest holders are not
cutting but reserving their timber for
incalculable profits when other tim
ber Is gone.
He said many of these big interests
are protesting against the conservation
of the national forest system because
they say 1t ties up natural resources
while they themselves are deliberately
tieing up farm lands for their private
gain" after the timber has been cut

most loyal support,
The two shows held in this city
have been very successful from every
standpoint with the single exception
of financial. According to James w.
Brown, the new secretary, they have
resulted in the upbuilding of the poul-
try industry in this vicinity to much
greater extent than the original pro-
moters anticipated. He says the quail
ity of the chickens raised has not only
been increased but the quantity as
well. The poultry show is said to be
responsible for the fact that both
poultry and eggs are lower and have
been lower all during the present win

son for many years.
