Woman Confesses
Murder Of Dr. Moore

~
Mrs. May EvaEs, the woman who
shot and killed DR.. ID. u. Moore, state.
Evans, who seemed to have no perma-
brought into court and pleaded guilty
to manslanghter in the first degree
by an agreement between d. j. Con-.
way, attorney for Mrs. Evans. and
States Attorney Rergh and other In.
terested parties In the case tt was
finally agreed to accept the above plea
in preference to fighting the case
through the court for more severe
punishment, ssss.
1t will be remembered that the
shooting of DR. Moore was the cul-
mination of an Illicit love affair which
had existed between DR.. Moore, who
was a resident OF Brpokings, and Mrs.
Evans, who semed to have no perma-
nent home, for several months Mrs
Evans came to Sionx Fails and took
apartments In a rooning house and
some days afterWard made arrange
ments for "a friend who proved to
be DR.. Moore. While no statement has
been made that would clear up the
shooting everything indicated that the
parting of the ways had come. That
DR.. Moore had tired OF the woman or
became fehrful that his wide ;iad
friends would learn OF the intrigue
and had decided to quit Mrs. Evans.
He was shot twice. either Of the shots
physicians claim would have been
fatal Mrs. Evans was shot twice
also, but one OF the shots, however,
causing any serious trouble.
& AT the time of the tragedy and after
her arrest she claimed that DR.. Moore
did the shooting, but States Attorney
BeTgh had accumulated evidence suf-
fcient to refute this charge. He
found where she had purchased thel
revolver and the cartridges. 1t was
also claimed by the physicians who
examined DR.. Moore that it would
have been impossible for him to hayei
fired the two shots which entered his
body as either would have put the
victim i'm condition where he could |
not have fired the other. There was
other evidence tending to show that
Mrs. Evans did the shooting, but the
evidence was such that there was no
sure thing Of a conviction which lead
States Attorney Bergh to accept the
plea Of guilty OF inanslaughter. Sioux

with the district on a basis OF fairness,
and the Press believes it is better to
carry the negotiations to the end in
the hope of getting satisfactory basis
of action than to take the case into
the courts.
Three million dollars is six dollars
an acre for the land in the irrigation
district, and the Press believes a policy
which will clean up promptly and finally
the issue with the water supply COM
pany and put the people in a position
to complete their irrigation system and
raise its efficiency cannot be obstructed
by years OF litigation without inflictinS
loss of more than six dollars an acre,
With the most abundant water sup
ply and the cheapest water supply, the
destiny of the valley is secure, no mat
ter what policy is adopted, but to place
the people in control of their own
water supply and put them in position
to perfect the works and push the
canals ahead to cover every available
acre of land is SO great desideratun
that it ought not to be impeded by liti-
cation if litigation can be avoided on g
reasonable basis.

dirt. thus hsiplpe 10 evap0rate that
little bit of mois1Hre which may be
stored in the ground near to the sur
face?
The logical hours of cultivation are
the early morning or late evening
hours, when the dirt is cooled off and
POSSIBLY moist, thus adding to the mois-
| ture in the ground, instead Of taking it.
The methods OF irrigation were en-
tirely wrong and done in a most made
quate way. Generally there are three
burrows between the rows in which
the water is running; in these furrows
the water is running just like noun
tain creek, leaving very little for the
ltrees; the bottom Of the burrows soon
becomes hard and smooth, Of course
aiding the water in its mad run. How
deep enough to benefit the trees and
how much is lost as waste?
Following my own experience one
furrow, encircling each tree, is sut1l
cient. The water must run slowly; al
short intervals little bayous should be
formed in order to retain the water
and check it in its run.
! The water should soak into the
ground as near as possible to the tree
and spread along the roots in all direc-
tions: in this case the tree would get
the full benefit Of irrigation.
1t seems to me the growers are
afraid to cut of limb. fearing to lose
an orange. have seen trees cut down
to the most heavy limbs, but the tree
was covered with fruit.
Close pruning checks the growth Of
wood and leaves, thus forcing the tree
TO produce more fruit.
There could be much more said, but
Ispace will not allow it. In conclusion
lof this article | would say that there
lis too much specializing, systematizing
land percentage business connected with
1.-THE present methods Of orange growing.
The grower should bear in mind that
his orange tree is not an automobile,
but living creature and therefore
|changing its conditions every minute.
The only way to find out is to eX-
lperiment with few trees before going
Into a large engagement, and close
lstudy of the laws Of nature.
Only practical experience can guide
the orange grower because "All theory.
my friend, is gray"

Cha1nq Dish Tricks

"JncommOn ways of utilizing a cha
flng dish almost always appeal to the
woman keeping house IN small way"
said New York cooking teacher to a
New York sun reporter. For in
stance, show how convenient it is to
do the actual cooking on the gas stove,
removing the chatting dish to the frame
work when ready to serve.
Il first lay an asbestos mat over ihe
gas flame so that the hot water pan
of the chaflng dish shall not come in
direct contact with the heat. Next
comes the hot water pan Of the chatting
dish filled to the depth Of about an
inch with water. In this is set the
blazer Of the chaflng dish, into which
goes the mixture to be cooked.
1.-THE cooking may be entirely COM
pleted in this way and the two dishes
then set in the frame of the chalng
dish and placed on the table. With the
boiling water below the food will keep
hot during the entire meal and all the
prettiness of the chaflng dish service
s gained without the bother OF fussing
with the alcohol lamp.
"All the long list OF creamed en-
trees are easily prepared in this way
and many ca nbe prepared in advance
Of the meal, ready for reheatng
Cheese, oyster and egg dishes must be
served as soon as cooked. find the
average housekeeper can originate
many delightful Sunday night tea anG
| luncheon dishes when she gets the
habit Of combining the gas stove anc
chatting dish.
Another uncommon way Of using
| the chaflng dish is to make the hot
water pan do duty instead of a bakine
dish. All that is necessary is TO pur-
chase a 10-cent china or enamel bakin:
dish which shall flt closely into III
hot water pan.
Let the baked entree or pudding
be placed in this and prepared in the
oven as usual. When ready to serve
slip the dish and all into the meta
hot water pan belonging to the chaflne
dish outfit. BehOldl An attractive serv-
ing dish.

OF LITIGATION

lne lHlpeTIdl CutelpiiSe hoS lhouo
q discovery: The Press is opposed to
policy Of litigation for the irrigation
district because it is spokesman for
the Southern Pacific Company. This
is a surprise to the editor Of the Press
and undoubtedly will be to its readers
and to the railroad itself.
The Enterprise has a flne-spun the
ory of law touching The ownership OF
the supply canal by the California De-
velopment Company. which ownership
it considers only mirage, the Califor-
MIA Development Company being in fact
trustee for the people of the valley.
who are free to take over the prop
erty through litigation whenever they
choose.
This is distinct from the other pro-
iect which recognizes that title to the
main canal rests in the California De-
velopment Company, and which seeks
condemnation through the courts.
II is an easy matter to spin fine
theories Of law. The Press has on its
desk an article from an attorney which
is designed to prove that condemnation
is impossible, because condemnation IS
only permissible for a superior pur-
pose, and it is claimed the people can
not condemn an irrigation system to
conduct the same work already being
performed.
The Press freely admits that it does
not know which, if any, of these the
ories of legal technicalities are correct,
hut it does believe that it is against
the interest of any community to get
tangled in the meshes Of litigation, and
it believes il sees in any plan for court
procedure enough litigation to delay
development and enrich a dozen law
yers at the expense Of the farmers.
The Press is criticised for saying
that negotiations have gone far enough
to indicate that the valley can acquire
the irrigation system for something
like three million dollars. The Enter
prise says no negotiations are in prog
ress. Both statements are correct. The
directors of the irrigation district called
off the negotiations and refused to ne
gOtiate with the salt works owners.
But enough progress was made to
show a disposition on the part of the
railroad, and possibly on the part of the
Judgment and bond holders, to deal

The Most NEGLECTED. Tree

For several years have been work
ing in the citrus district, at the same
time studying its conditions.
In my opinion, as whole the cul-
tivation Of orange groves is exceedingly
wrong in many ways. regard the or
ange tree as the most neglected tree
in Southern California: furthermore,
that a great many orange growers do
not understand enough about orange
growing and also are Indifferent in some
ways regarding its needs.
The yearly reports spoke of bumper
crops" and heavily laden" trees. From
my own experience know positively
that these reports could only be taken
cum grano sails. With very few eX
ceptions | never have seen heavily
laden" tree. All the fruit was hanging
outside: inside the foliage not one or
ange could be seen, and even the out
side was showing big empty spots.
The entire orchard was well cult
waited, except where it was needed the
most around the tree; IN all the groves
saw the ground around the trees had
not been touched since the trees were
planted. Naturally the ground was
hard, dry and unclean; the hard ground
nearly choked the tree and was suck
ing out its giving sap; the foliage
Of the tree, reaching to the ground,
changed the space around the tree into
dark chamber, favoring the undis-
turbed breeding of insects and germs,
therefore the constant scale nuisance.
But not alone that, the foliage pro-
tccted the trunk against all weather
conditions, thus making it very tender
and weak, an easy prey Of the frost.
Anyhow. why must the trunk Of orange
trees be protected against sun heat?
Every other kind Of tree stands the hot
California sun all right. why not an
orange tree? | have seen nigh
stemmed orange trees exposed to the
heat, and they were literally covered
with fruit.
The most important part to be culti-
waited is around the tree: the cultiva-
ton of the orchard is of less impor-
tance, if Of Importance at all. Between
the rows should be vegetables, berries,
ETC., planted. This would benefit the
trees to a great extent. Further, what
sense is there in cultivating the or
chard during the hottest time of the
day? What benefit could be derived
for the trees in turning the boiling hot

THRILLS OF "CAT" FISHING

Every man who has lived in the cat

Another nibble and 1t bobbed some

the cork went under and you der

heave. He was usually about five or
six inches long. and he sailed grandly
through the air to land kerplunk on
the grass behind you. Sometimes. as
q variation, he lighted in a tree or fell
into the middle of a red hawbush,
which meant trouble, but you always

on one branch Of a forked stick and

HAS LABOR CLEARING HOUSE
Exchanges Whereby Job and the
Man Are Brought Together.

In the English labor exchanges list
ed situations are either filed directly
by the agency in which they are filed.
or. lacking the proper applicants. they
are put in circulation" Every trade
has its number and decimal divisions.
On the application card a cipher uni
formly used by the exchanges re-
cords the last work the man had. the
Job he wants now, his age, the employ
ers he has been sent to. whether TAX
en- on, how long retained and the gen
eral impression he makes. Usually
the steady and efficient men can be
recognized. Employer and applicant
are fled under the same trade num-
Der in separate boxes on differently
colored cards. Instantly references
can be made for either side. This sim
pie device, being universal. enables
the number wanted to be wired to
the central office and sent out to the
branches. When he is located, the
reply can briefly present the character
OF the applicant, John L. Matthews
writes in Harper's Magazine. In case
Of need this man is furnished with a
pass or railway ticket The cost of
the latter he is given time to repay.
This arrangement has Objectionable
features, since the laborer must both
bear the brunt of the expense and
take a chance of the job lasting long
enough to make it possible for him to
refund the money to the government.
In spite of this discourage: .ent to long
journeys, the exchange tends to fluid
ize the movement of labor throughout
Great Britain and furnishes a reliable,
neutral medium of informatiC1 about
supply and demand.

Major and the Movies.

Well, Gov. Major went TO the
theater in Jefferson City, Sunday
night, took the whole family and
witnessed himself on a road
grader out in the county. We
certainly do not object to the
road grader, and our hopeis that
it will be more freely used in the
future than in the past. Every
body wants to see good roads,
and the people have been spend
ing their money and giving their
work for the advancement of good
roads, while Major was spend
ing bis time and energy promot-
ng his political fortunes, that he
might be governor Of this great
state. He is governor now, and
he imagines he can ride road
grader into the United States
Senate. We think that this is
only a delusion for the people of
this state will not soon forget
about the rotten legislation enac-
ted by the last legislature, and
signed by Gov. Major. Especial
ly will they rem em ber the noto-
rious Orr insurance law, and how
both Major and Barker got cold
feet, and Barker construed the
law to be unconstitutional, said
he would dismiss any proceed
ing under it, brought by any
Prosecuting Attorney of the
State, and give open arms to al
that would return. In our hum
bic Judgment the movies now be-
ing put on of Governor Major on
the road grader, will not be of
much aid to him in his senatori-
al race, and when he gets into
another campaign he will be like
ly to hear of his administration.
which Bro. Mcclure, the Demo
cratic editor of the Cashbook at
jackson, says is d disgrace
to the people of this State and
that they deserve at the hands
of the people the severest rebuke
possible to give.
We think they will got it at the
proper" time. .-Perryville Re.
