ORCHARD COMPANY IS UF
|. AGAINST UNFAVORABLE
REPORT TODAY

The following report has been made
to Commissioner Watson concerning the
Hood River Orchard Land company,
under date of November 20, 1918:
~ have gone through the prelimin-
ary statement of the Hood River Or
chard Land company, and have visited
the company's property at ortley, Ore
gon, located in Waseo county.
"The company has approximately
2SOO acres, of which over 700 acres have
been set out in trees My investiga-
tion Of the property was great disap-
pointment to me, after reading some of
the company's advertising. Inquiry
among some of the people who have
contracted for commercial apple or
chard tracts with this company revealed
a very unsatisfactory condition of af-
fairs, and already several suits have
been filed by purchasers of the sub
division tracts against the company for
alleged breach Of contract and misrep-
resentation, it being alleged that por-
tions Of the land is what is known as
'scabby' land; that the soil in some
places is extremely poor for orchard
purposes; that in some places the TOP
soil is but eight inches in depth, and
that trees have been planted in soil Of
this depth; that in other places trees
have been planted in top soil ranging
from eight to- 20 inches in depth; that
a large portion of the property is filled
with boulders ranging from the size Of
man s fist to IS to 90 inches in di.
ameter-the boulders in some places
being Of such shallow depth that it
would 10 difficult to plow the land;
that in other places the company has
employed men, working with Fresno
scrapers to cover up rocky ground with
soil, and in this soil trees have been
planted.
"In addition to the above alleged
causes for complaint, it is asserted
that much of the company's land is
heavily mortgaged and that failure of
the company to meet an interest date
might result in foreclosure, to the pos
sible financial loss of the contracting
purchaser
4''T do not believe any company do
ing business in this state has the right,
morally or equitably as the Hood River
Orchard company has done in its liter
ature, to represent some Of its orchard
tracts 10 be land of great value and
possibilities, Such practices will, If
permitted to continue, react to the det-
riment of those persons who are en-
doavoring legitimately to build up the
orchard industry in this state.
"By reason Of the fact that suits
against the Hood River Orchard and
Land company for alleged breach Of
contract and misrepresentation are
pending, and are in contemplation by
other persons, and that innocent pur.
chasers of the stock Of this company
may not be fully aware Of the condi-
tions, ! would recommend that permit
be not issued to this company for the
sale Of its stock"

w. v. S. PREBLE ARRESTED
Trys to Break Into His Fathers
House to Secure Children.

V. S. Preble of Walker, was tried
in Municipal Court this morning on
charge Of disorderly conduct. The

mony two children of v. S. Preble

L. Preble of Bemidji.
Last night after imbibing freely of

home and demanded of his sister,
who was alone, to give up the child
rem. She refused and locked the door.
Preble tried to break in the door,

MAY BUY The CREAMERY
Bemidji Farmers Meet to Discuss
Probable Taking Over of Be-
midi Dairy Plant.
WILL THEN DELIVER MILK

The farmers interested in the de-
livery of milk and cream about the
city met at the Bemidji creamery
Wednesday for the purpose of dis
cussing the possibility of an organi-
zation of a Farmers COOPERATIVE
company, whose duty it will be to re-
ceive, pasturize and bottle milk in the
local plant and deliver it to the trade
about the city. ~
The plan is to have all. farmers
bring their milk to the local institu-
ton where it will be pasturized, bot
tied and delivered, guaranteeing
each farmer certain amount per
quart for milk, thus doing away with
the many delivery wagons now ira
versing the city. .5s.a
A. w. Galloway of Minneapolis,
representing the Crown and Seal
company of Baltimore and H. G.. Nc
Cune a representative of the Davis
Milk Machine company were present
at the meeting to talk over the ad-
visibility Of the new organization.
Should such an organization be eff
fected it will first be up to the pres
ent owners to make proposition to
the farmers. If proper terms can be
made it is probable that all farmers
in this community will line up with
the new company.
Nothing definite was decided upon,
but another meeting will be held in
the near future for talking over the
details of the transfer. The present
stockholders have offered to each
farmer who was member of the old
association one fifty dollar share of
stock for $25 and to each new mem
Der a share at the regular price of
$50. They are waiting for a PROPOSE
ton from the farmers and will be
glad to cooperate in every way pos
sible for the future success of the
creamery. a .os:

Recent DEVELOPMENTS have con-
WINGED the committee that those who
join the state orsssssss may remain in
the parent order If they like. The
insurance department is expected to
rule that way. A former. contrary
ruling was made at the time section
three was left out of the bill but
since the return of section three the
situation has changed and the Conn
missioner has agreed to give a new
ruling when the petitions signed by
$4,000 members are filed. The COM
mittee now has no doubt about the
final decision that members may hold
both certificates. The statement in
the application that the members in
tend to quit the M. w. of "A. is held
to be formal and directory but not

THAW WINS AN
INITIAL VICTORY
Court Refuses to Consider Pleas Of
Opposition Cheer Flag and
ThaW.
PROCEEDINGS ARE ADJOURNED
Thousands Of Canadian Spectators
Greet Ruling With 0utburst
Of Applause.

Sherbrooke, Que, Aug. 28.-New
York state was ruled out of court
here in a dramatic preliminary Skin
mish with lawyers for Harry K. Thaw,
the Matteawan fugitive fighting de.
portation. q ts
Superior Judge Globansky, hear
ing arguments of Thaw's counsel on
a motion to discontinue writ Of
habeas corpus, absolutely refused to
entertain the objections of Hector
Vera, representing New York. This
was greeted with wild outburst of
cheering by thousand Canadian
spectators. Thaw, rising, bowed in
acknowledgment. -
"Hooray for the British flag! Hoo.
ray for Harry Thaw!" shrieked men
and women standing on chairs, waving
handkerchiefs, parasols and hats.
Proceedings were abruptly adjourn
ed while Thaw's lawyers and counsel
for New York state were arguing as
to Thaws right to abandon his
habeas corpus proceedings.
When the New Workers and their
Canadian lawyers got back their
breath they assembled in their hotel.
Mr.. Jerome called reporters aside and
dictated this statement:
1--WE, who represent the state OF
New York, are entirely unwilling to
comment on the scene that occurred
In one of his majesty's courts. The
relations between the bar of the
United States and the courts OF the
Dominion of Canada are most friendly
and cordial and we realize keenly the
sense Of humiliation experienced by
our brethren in Canada who are as
sisting us. Mr.. Jacobs, who is asso-
ciated with us, is present and we
would prefer not to say anything with
reference to the occurrence of the
morning." @
Mr.. Jerome turned toward Mr.. Ia
cobs and the latter said: :. =. ~
There is nothing Lean say. will
say though that this is the first in.
stance to my knowledge where such
al outburst in any Of our courts was
rot followed by the immediate clear
ing of the court" 80 r.. ~. ,
Mr.. McKeown and J. N. Green
shield, Thaw's chief counsel, reached
the court house shortly after 8
o'clock and went into conference with
the judge. Crowds began to collect
in the court room. It was apparent
that the first skirmish would be over
the habeas corpus writ issue. +.
The court instructed the sheriff
that while he was undecided whether
to sustain the withdrawal Of the writ,
Thaw should be brought into court
during arguments on the question.
Nearly all of the lawyers for both
sides were in court when this an.
nouncement was made. The news
spread quickly and the crowd began
to procure seats and standing room.
Attorney Jerome came into court at
$3.50 and took seat in the front row
directly in front Of the Judges bench.
He had to convince an attendant of
his connection with the case before
the latter would give him chair. A
touch of color was added to the
scene by the presence of four Domin-
ion federal police, wearing spiked he'll
NETS. Three hundred persons were
standing up back of the seating area.

for a time threatened to do great
deal of damage. The Bemidji Fire
Department was called out and ex-

Wilson appeared In person before con.
gress and laid bare to the world the
details Of this nations efforts to bring
about peace In Mexico; the facts con-
esrning Huerta's rejection Of the
peace proposals and the policy to be
pursued now by this government.
The president announced the posi-.
ton Of the United States to be as fol
lows:
4 No armed Intervention.
Strict neutrality. "forbidding the ex.
portation Of arms or munitions of war
OF any kind from the United States to
any part Of the republic Of Mexico
Under no circumstances to ''be the
partisans of either party to the con.
test that now distracts Mexico, or con.
stitus ourselves the virtual umpir.
between them"
To urge all Americans to leave
Mexico at once and to assist them to
get away in every way possible.
To let every one in Mexico who as.
sumes to exercise authority to know
that this government shall vigorously
watch the fortunes of those Americans
who cannot get away and shall hold
those responsible for their sufreringH
and losses to a definite reckoning"
THAT can and will be made plain
beyond the possibility of misunder
standing" declared the president.

Negotiations for the friendly media
ton of the United States are open to
the initiative of this government or OF
Mexico. y. ..=..r -.
Accompanying the presidents ad
dress was the reply Of the Huerta
government respecting the American
proposals. It was written by Foreign
Minister Gamboa.
The occasion had not been parable!
