SERIOUS CUTTING UP

A cutting affray at Castle Rock
on Friday evening created some con-
siderable excitement among the peo-
pie over there. Joe Janelli, an Ital-
ian and a laborer on the railroad,
is the guilty party, and he is now
confined in the county Jail at Hepp-
ner. There was little provocation
for the assault, according to reports.
Janelii and his victim, with one or
two others were along the bank of
the Columbia where some of the
party were fishing, and Janelli seem
ing to be in a bad mood raised Il dis
turbance, in the first place tossin-
stone at the other Italian who re-
sented this mildly when Janelli at
atcked him with pocket knife. A
bad wound was inflicted and the
knife was prevented from entering
the heart of the man by striking a
rib. The injured man bled very free
ly and it was feared that he might
die before assistance reached him.
Being taken to Arlington he was
treated by DR.. Lowe, and at last re-
ports was getting along alright.
Word was sent the sheriff at Heppner
and Deputy Geo. McDuffee went
down to Castle Rock Friday night
after the man, returning with him
on Saturday. Upon the case being
presented to the grand jury, Janelli
was indicted on the charge of as
sault with dangerous weapon.
To this charge he plead not guilty
and was going to stand trial. Not
being able to speak English it was
necessary to arrange for an inter
prefer, consequently the italian was
allowed to change his plea to guilty
of simple assault, and he was fined
by the Court in the sum of 500 or
fifty days in the county Jail.

Fined for Contempt.

Gong Lane, one of the chief wit
nesses in the case Of the State of Ore
gon VS.. J. l.. wilkins, was fined ten
dollars by Judge Phelps on Tuesday
monring upon his being arrested and
brought into court upon bench
warrant. Lane had been subpoen-
aed as witness on the part of the
state and should have been in court
at o'clock but failed to be there
when called. He will no doubt re-
member the lesson administered him
by the court and find someone to
take his place or else close up his

1874 GRAIN CROP
WILL Be LARGEST
Fruit Production In Ore
oon This Year Will Al
so Be Immense.

Portland, Ore, May IL (Special)-
Reports from nearly every section OF
Oregon indicate that the grain crop
for 1914 will be the largest in the
history of the state. Not only has
the grain acreage been greatly in
creased, but weather conditions have
been unusually favorable and in
nearly all districts the yield per acre
will be larger than usual.
Fruit reports from some sections
are not quite as encouraging as the
grain estimates, but in most cases
the loss from frost has not exceeded
the annual thinning of fruit. A
large acreage of new orchards will
produce the first commercial crop
this year and it is estimated the to-
tai fruit yield viii De -ar beyond
that Of last year.
]. w. Brewer, special agent for
the State immigration Commission
has just returned from a careful
survey of the lands included in the
area recently eliminated from the
forest reserves in Central Oregon
and his report to State immigration
Agent C. C. Chapman carries with
it note of warning to intending
settlers on such lands. Already
there is great number of home
seekers in the eliminated district
and it is expected there will be more
applicants than there are claims. Of
the 236,6S0 acres actually open for
entry, at least 1872, 1000 acres are nom
tillable, leaving but $4,000 acres Of
a character which will support set
tiers. The elevation of large part
of this section is from 4,200 to A.
500 and there is danger OF killing
frosts at all times of the year. Dis
tance from the railroad varies from
rs to 100 miles, making it extreme
ly difficult to get produce to market.
Prospects for grazing are fairly en-
couraging and Mr.. Brewer advises
new settlers to turn their attention
to stock raising.
Don't forget Portland Rose Fes-
tival dates-June 9 to 12 inclusive.
The only change of Importance in
the program has been the complete
elimination of Rex Oregonus and the
substitution of Queen of Rosar-
ia" who will be the sole reigning
monarch during Festival week. The
election of Her Majesty and her
maids of honor is now on and the
polls will be open until the night of
Saturday, May 16. The queen and
her court will be given grand tour
of all the principal coast cities prior
to the opening of the Rose Festival.

Court Orders Franklin Hill Sur
veyed.

A delegation of men representing

and this obstace in the way of travel
over the Heppner-Pendleton route,
will be removed. This is one step
towards securing the Columbia High
way through Heppner. Other steps
