Asks $4,000 Damages.

A. d. Harpold, who about eight
years ago lived in. Ashland and
owned the T. ]. Howell block oppo-
site Hotel Oregon, is now seeking to
recover $20,400 from the City of Bo-
nanza and from E. D. Hitchcock and
Jake Hickman.
In one complaint he sues the City
of Bonanza for $4,000 on two sep
arate causes of action, each for $10,-
600. One alleges false Imprisonment
and the other malicious prosecution.
In the other complaint Harpold
sues E. d. Hitchcock, recorder, and
Jake Hickman, marshal, individually.
To this complaint there are also two
separate actions each for 5000, one
against each of the two officials. The
complaint alleges that when Harpold
was incarcerated in the city jail
Hitchcock and Hickman refused to
supply him with a copy Of the order
or warrant by which they were de-
tanning him. The trouble originated
from a fight between Harpold and
F. w. Broad3word in Bonanza last
fall.

she arrests him at the point of he1

he is the bank thief, all right, and
Dot wins the reward.

On Sunday Leslie M. Scott, fail
ing to get Arant to leave the park
peaceably, was forced to swear in a
number of deputies, when the de-
posed park superintendent returned
from Klamath Falls with a lawyer
and five men, apparently to retain
his position by force. His desk and
personal effects were taken out, and
maintaining he was still the rightful
superintendent and declaring he
would take the matter to the courts,
Arant and his friends finally re-
turned to Fort Klamath. According
to e. D. Weston of Medford, who
returned from Crater Lake Sunday
night, where he went on photograph
is business, Scott not only had the
right of the case but showed an un-
common amount of consideration
and kindness for the refractory Off
cial, using every argument and per-
suasion to get him to leave quietly
in accordance with the orders from
Washington.
The election of Arant no doubt
settles the case as far as Will G.
Steele is concerned and he will now
be in authority at the lake without
protest or molestation.

FIGHT OVER OFFICE.
Superintendency of Crater Lake Ma
tiOnal Park Causes Fuss.

klamath Falls, July 21.-The lat
est development in the Arant-Steele
Crater Lake embroglio was a per-
sonal encounter between Mr.. Arant
and Mr.. Parkhurst of the Crater
Lake Development Company at Fort
klamath this afternoon, which ended
when the latter struck the former
superintendent of the national park
over the head with a wrench, inflict-
ing a serious scalp wound and for
which he will have to answer in the
next session of the federal court.
According to the report brought
here tonight the two men got into an
argument over the election of Arant
from the national park by U. S. Mar
shal Leslie Scott, and when Arant
warmly upbraided both Scott and
Steele, Parkhurst, enraged, sprang
upon him. In the midst of the con-
flict Parkhurst seized an auto
wrench and struck his opponent
down. Parkhurst claims the blow
was struck in self-defense, while
Arant declares it was assault with
attempt to kill.
Spectators of the affray took Park
hurst>away and warrant for his ar
rest will probably be issued tomor-
row.

CAR SHORTAGE PROBABLE.
Southern Pacific Railway Sends Out
Warning to Shippers.

With the usual rush of business
incident to this period of the year
the railroads are scenting trouble
ahead in the form of a shortage Of
cars.
In anticipation of this the rail
roads have repaired and added tc
their equipment, but it is the feaI
of those in charge of railway opera
tion that this alone will not suffice
and to avoid serious delays and con-
gestion the shippers and the rail-
roads must actively cooperate.
Delay on the part of shippers in
loading and unloading cars is often
the direct cause of the carriers in
ability to furnish cars, whereas if the
shippers would load and unload
promptly and when consistent load
cars to their rated capacity difficult
ties incident to rush of business
would, it is believed, be approximate
ly relieved.
The solution of the problem ap-
pears to be cooperation, prompt
loading and unloading by the ship
per and prompt movement and deliv-
cry of cars by the railroads. With
this end in view last year the Cali
fornia railroad commission as well
as the railway commission of Oregon
and several other states took cogni-
Zance of conditions and with the
hearty support of many trade and
commercial organizations devolved a
spirit of cooperation between the
shippers and the railroads which
very substantially relieved the situa-
tion and a heavy movement of traf-
fic resulted without serious lelay OF
congestion anywhere. The plan gave
such general satisfaction that in all
probability it will soon be a mutual
permanent working arrangement
Present indications are that in the
near future demand for cars will be
very heavy and even with a large
supply of equipment in serviceabl,
condition to prevent delay and con
gestion in supplying and moving car
action cooperation between the car
riers and the shippers must obtain

Apples Can Be Sold in Asia at $3
Per Box

Spokane, July 19.-If the north
west can deliver box apples in Euro
peanrand Asiatic centers of popula-
tion at SO box large quantities of
them can be used, while at present
the American box apple is practical
ly unknown, so H. M. Gilbert of Top
enish, one of the largest Independent
shippers in the northwest, learned
on recent five months trip around
the world. Mr.. Gilbert sold a car
load of North Yakima apples to the
Hamburg-American steamer on which
he sailed, and on the 2S,0O0-mile trip
distributed 50 boxes to cold storage
and wholesale men, newspaper men
and chamber of commerce presidents
in the many big cities visited on the
cruise. Some interesting facts af-
fecting the apple industry were gath
cred by him.
While the native Asiatics know
little of the taste of apples, there are
Americans and Europeans in all the
cities who demand them. Hereto
fore American exporters have been
shipping in small size Ben Davis and
Missouri Pippins and our best apples
are practically unknown. This mar
ket can be developed gradually and
there is strong demand by consum-
ers who want them at $3.50 and SO
a box retail. Our problem is to get
them there.

Attention has recently been called
by the Oregon Agricultural College
to the fact that many farmers who
are so unfortunate as to have hay
injured OF spoiled by rain are max
ing the mistake of either burning it
in the field or allowing it to rot in
piles. 1t is stated that spoiled clover
or alfalfa hay is worth $3.50 to $40
per ton as fertilizer if evenly spread
over the fields and plowed under,
and that every ton of hay so worked
into the soil is approximately worth
four tons of fresh manure. A ton
of clover hay contains 40 pounds of
nitrogen, pounds of phosphorus
and 80 pounds of potash, which, if
purchased in the open market, would
cost the farmer about $10.50, and
as clover and vetch are yielding
about two and one-half tons per acre
this season, the plowing under of the
spoiled hay adds a fertilizer value of
not less than $25 to each acre.

The fact that onions from Texas,
potatoes from California and eggs
and poultry from points outside of
Oregon are being received in Port
land in carload lots while the farm
ers in the immediate vicinity of the
city, as we'll as those tributary to the
railroads leading to this market, can
not find a market for their produce
at any price, has led the Portland
Realty Board to actively take up the
question of establishing public mar
kets where gardeners and farmers
may dispose of their products direct
to the consumer with great benefit
to both. 1t is stated that the fact
that farmers cannot sell their own
crops in Portland without a license,
and the further fact that the COM
mission men will not buy from them
except at their own prices, is caus-
ing many farmers to allow fruits and
vegetables to go to waste rather than
dispose of them at loss.

OREGON NEWS In BRIEF
Items of Interest Regarding Matters
in Various Parts of the
State.

That the policy of the Portland
Commercial Club to continue the
campaign of farm development
throughout the state is in high favor
with the business interests of the
city is evidenced by the fact that the
present campaign has met with more
prompt and favorable support among
property owners of Portland than
any movement of like nature that
has been conducted in the past. A
few weeks ago the omn.ercial Club
set out to raise a fund of $3.50, 900
to be expended in development work
throughout Oregon during the next
three years, and SO successful has
been the effort that at the present
time the fund is we'll above the
100000 mark, and it is believed by
those having the campaign in charge
that the full sum will be pledged
within the next month. In the list
of those who have given definite
sums are 100 firms and individuals
virtually every branch
of business actiity in the city.

LEAGUE PROPOSAL
President Baugh Announces That Birmingham Directors Will

ing the past years and are continuing
this season. While the promoters of the
proposed venture are probably acting in
good faith we feel that both ledgues
could not live under the protection of
organized baseball despite the attractive
arguments of series to decide the SOUTH
ern supremacy and 'inter-club battles. -
while | am not sure that the other
clubs will take similar action, I do not
believe that the Dixie league will meet
the approval of the other Southern league
clubs. However President Kavanaugh
wanted to know if the directors wanted
to hold a meeting to consider the plan
with the Dixie league promoters and we
decided not to request it, The Dixie
league submitted a yoluminous PROPOSE
tion."
The proposition was the same as pre-
sented President Kavanaugh. The Dixie
asked that the Southei league recognize
1t and added that in return 1t would in
crease its revenues, strengthen organized
baseball and add enthusiasm in base
ball.
Throughout the proposition, vague state
ments as to "a baseball trust" were in
serted. 1t is strongly implied that the
Dixie will organize as an outlaw league

The Chicago White sox failed to ex-
.ercise their option on Jimmy Johnston,
but 1t is thought that he will be
drafted. He has exceeded the stolen
base record of 1912 in the Pacific Coast
league, having over 80 stolen bases.
He hopes to steal 100 before the close
of the season.
Pitcher "Rube" Hinton, who was
placed with Nashville by Cleveland. will
probably be shifted to the New Or
leans club. He proved too wild to pitch
consistently for the Vols. The Maps
will hold string on him as he shows
promise.
Outfielder Gilhooley, recently pur-
chased by the New York Americans
from Montreal, was discarded by the
St Louis Cardinals last spring He is
said to be faster than Fritz Maisel His
only weakness is a poor throwing arm.
He will probably replace Birdie" Cree.
Several Southern leaguers will gain
trials in the big leagues after the close
of the season. Williams and Gibson of
Nashville and Covaleski of Chattanpoga
will report to Detroit Elmer Brwn
will join Brooklyn next week Con-
zelman will join Pittsburg.
Duncan and Tutwiler, who had trials
with Chattanooga, have been sold to
the majors. Duncan was sold to the
New York Highlanders, whild Tutwiler
was purchased by Detroit. Billy Smith
discarded both and said that they could
not even make good in the Southern.

will be shifted to the outfield The
Birmingham boy is hitting over .290,
but is not fielding as we'll as he did
in the Southern. He will probably play
rightfield.
When Pitcher Howell defeated Mont
gomery Thursday, he scored his first
victory of the season. Other pitchers
who have not yet won game are Cry.
Hinton, East and Peddy. Howell is a
collegian from Louisiana State univer-

Wilmington has already clinched the
Tri-State league pennant for this season.
The league season will close Monday.

the pennant winners and did so well that
he was bought by the majors.
Several Southern league players are out

Mayer, of the Barons, is one of the Grip
pied contingent. Kid Butler of Memphis,
Walsh and Graft of Chattanooga will
hardly be able to play again this year.
President Coleman of Memphis has an
