Harvey Cattleman
Is Acquitted by
the Supreme Court

SALEM, or, June 1s.--Rever-
sal OF the conviction of William
y. Moss, wealthy Harney county
cattleman. on charge of cattle
stealing was ordered by the gu
preme court today in an opinion
handed down by Justice Bennett.
The court held that the conviction
of Moss was not warranted by the
evidence producedw at his prose-
cution.
Testimony at the trial showed
that cattle bearing fresh brands
OF the Moss herd and mutilated
brands Of other cattlemen of that
district were found grazing with
Moss cattle. But inasmuch as the
cattle were all grazing on public
lands. the supreme court held
that there was no evidence show
ing that Moss had stolen the cat
tie. IL is suggested. however,
that other proceedings should be
started. The court states that
there might be evidence that MOSS
had mutilated the brands of other
owners. which IL a felony under
the laws Of Oregon.

FAIRFAX PLANNING
FOR Ab|G YEAR
New School, New Churches and
Waterworks Plant Are Among
the Many Improve
ments Promised.

Fairfax, s. D.. Mar. although
Fairfax lost the county seat a couple
Of years ago, her people are very much
alive, and business and everything is
as good or better than when the seat
was here. The consolidation OF the
town and three OF the adjoining school
districts has resulted in a number of
families buying property and locating
in town.
The school board accepted plans and
will soon let the contract for the new
$4,000 building authorized, and for
which bonds were voted recently. A
modern structure will be erected and
will be fully equipped for up-to-date
teaching. Besides the school building
the Gregory County State Bank will
erect a modern bank building, the
Catholic congregation Is erecting a new
church building in place Of the one de-
stroyed during the storm last May. and
the Lutherans are planning on erect
ing a new church building or possibly
the purchase and repair OF the old
Methodist building.
In addition to these numerous mod
ern residences will be built the coming
season, and plans are being fornu-
lated looking to the erection of an up
to-date hotel building.
The new water works plant. which
was up in the air" while the war was
on, is now practically assured, the
bonds being practically sold, and when
spring opens work will start.

FARM TENANTS MUST
PAY FOR IMPROVEMENTS

Parkston, s. d., March 5.-Because
Of the advancing price Of farm land,
those land n who make a prac-
tice Of renting farms to tenants are
putting into effect a new arrangement
throughout the Parkston and Memo
territories. II has been the custom for
the renter to give the owner from one
third TO two-fifths of the grain for the
use of the farm and buildings. and
then pay a rental Of 81 to So per acre
for the hay land in addition. Under
this arrangement, the owner who had
land without any buildings, received
the same rental as thoA owning build
ings and had no expense for buildings.
Under the new arrangement, farms
are being rented for grain rent, and in
addition, the renters pay SO per acre
for the use Of the hay land and SITS
annual rent for the dwellings and
barns on the farms they rent.

CUT COTTON ACREAGE.

Dallas, Tex, March 1.-Fearirg cot
ton prices will sink near the pre-war
levels unless are taken TO
prevent it, southern cotton growers are
joining in a movement for general re-
duction OF 1919 acreage. In Texas the
move has taken the form of a pledge to
reduce acreage to two-thirds of that of
1918. The state agricultural depart
ment Is emphasizing the benefits Of
planting grain on the acreage thus
saved.
The government crop report placed
last years Texas production at 2, $50, 900
bales. Cotton was around 35 cents a
pound at the close of the picking sea-
son, but many growers and some srec-
ulators felt II would reach 40 cents
and did not sell. Prices fell. however,
with the signing OF the armistice and
since then have been wavering between
21 and Is cents.
