New Flour in Market.

There is much favorable comment on
the new Maltese Cross brand of flour
which the Hood River town and valley
merchants have recently put in stock
1t is high grade patent flour made by
the Wasco Warehouse Milling company
and is guaranteed in every respect.
The Maltese Cross flour is very similar
to the White River brand, made by the
same mill, which is carried by the
Hood River dealers and has a high
reputation. The new brand, however,
is being sold at a lower price than the
White River flour. Both brands are
unbleached and are manufactured in
strict conformance to the regulations
of the pure food laws. The unhleached
flour will not produce bread as white
as that made from the bleached product
but it has a much better flavor and is
more wholesome.

case had excited so much interest
throughout the county that it was
openly stated that jury could not be
secured for his trial. On motion of
the district attorney for the state a
special venire of 100 men was drawn
from the two court districts of Talla-
hatchie county, from which to secure
the jury. The trial was entered upon
on Thursday afternoon at o'clock and
by holding morning, afternoon and
night sessions, the case was given to
the jury the following Saturday eve
ming at $50, and the jury, after con-
sidering its verdict for some two
hours, rendered a verdict of guilty as
charged and sentencing him to life i'm
prisonment.
The verdict in the Pitts case came
as a great surprise, because of the
prominence of the defendant and the
fact Of the length. of time that had
elapsed between the homicide and the
trial, and the further fact that it was
case of purely circumstantial evil
dence. It is believed to be the first
conviction of a white man for muir

garded as a distinct victory for the
