CRIME NOT INCREASING
SAY STATE OFFICIALS
Some Interesting Figures Prepared in
the Office of Gov. Lister For the
Last II Months

Some interesting figures have been
compiled in the Office of Governor Lis
ter relating to the extradition Of Grim
inals. Considering the popular belief
that crime is on the increase, the fig
ures appear quite contradictory. Dur
ing the twelve months between jan
uary IS, 1918, and January IS, 1914,
So persons we're extradited from the
state OF Washington on acquisitions is
sued on Governor Lister by the gov
ernoIs OF other states. During the
same period Governor issued 80 re-
QUESTIONS on the governors of other
states for persons wanted to answer in
the courts for crimes committed in
this state who had escaped beyond
the boundaries OF the state before they
could be taken into custody. AS in
dicating one Pacific coast chronological
situation, the figures show that more
acquisitions were made on Governor
Lister by the governor Of California
than by any other state, and Governor
Lister, in the same period, issued
more acquisitions on the governor oil
California than on the governor oil
any other state, indicating that there is
a pronounced movement of fugitives
from justice between the states oil
Washington and California, During
the month Of February, Governor Lis
ter honored seven acquisitions and is
e. eight on other governors.

To Test Fruit Chiefs Rights

By a test suit to be brought in Yak
ina county and appealed to the SUI
preme court the state department oil
agriculture will endeavor to learn the
extent Of its power to clean orchards
affected by fire blight when the own
ers refuse to do so.
Inspector F. E. Sellem of the Yak
ina district has been authorized by
the department to enter Yakima or
chard which the owner has thus far
neglected to clean, cut out badly dis
eased trees, prune others and send the
bill to the owner, who, it is understood,
will refuse to pay for the work 1t is
believed that the owner will also put
in a counter claim for the value of the
trees destroyed, so that all possible
questions in the case may be adjudi-
Gated.
On the May calendar the test suit to
determine the powers of counties to
make horticultural inspection levies
also will appear. The attorney gen.
erals office has advised that the agri-
cultural department bill wiped out the
power of counties to make levies and
the lower court has so decided, but a
decision from the supreme court will
be sought.

WASHINGTON LEADS
OREGON IN MANY THINGS
Census Shows This State is Ahead of
NeighbOrS- in Value of
Crops and Dairy Cows

That the state Of Washington leads
Oregon both as to the number and
mileage of rural mail delivery routes,
and also as to the value of last seasons
crops is shown in two reports just is
sued on pending legislation.
Under the Shackleford good roads
bill as it recently passed the House,
the state of Washington would receive
an allotment of $283,500 from the
government appropriation of SIS, 000,-
900 annually for road improvement
and maintenance. Oregon would re-
ceive $212,500 and Idaho $112,500.
The allotments for each state are on
percentage basis, the relation of the
population and star and rural mail
route mileage within each state to the
total population, and rural mail route
and star route mileage OF the United
States.
According to proponents of the bill
Washington state has 325 rural deliv-
cry routes with total mileage Of 1855
and 1872 star routes aggregating $500
miles in length; Oregon has 238 rural
routes 5,807 miles long and 258 star
routes 5,970 miles long; Idaho 124
rural routes 3,342 miles long and 164
star routes 1913 miles long.
Washington is the twenty-eighth
state, Oregon the thirty-second and
Idaho the thirty-fourth state of the
Union in the matter Of the value of
their respective crops last season, as
enumerated by the Department of Ag-
riculture. The value of Washington
crops last year was $73, 900, that
is principal crops, as compared with
$68, $4,000 the year before. The
principal Oregon crops was 40,069,
900 in 1918, and Of Idaho crops $751;
2o4, 900.
Live stock on farms in the North
west is increasing in number and value,
according to the department. In
Washington there were 1919, 900 cattle
other than mich cows, 234, 900 mich
cows, 100000 sheep, $4,000 swine,
sos, 900 horses. and $4,000 mules on
January /, 1914. These numbers
were in every instance, except mules,
considerably larger than the several
kinds Of farm animals in Washington,
January /, 1918. The values of farm
animals in the state we're as follows,
this year: Cattle, $7.104,000; milch
cows, $17,316,0o0; sheep, $2,226,-
900; swine, So, 900; horses, $780,
$50, 900; mules. $1,624.000.
Oregon farms had 100000 cattle
other than mich cows, valued at ST.
100000, on January /, 10000 mich
