SHllnan CenterS
Case On Relations
OF Wife eamd Guide

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, June 16.-
Counsel for James A. Stillman
centered his court fight for
divorce today upon testimony re-
garding the relations of Mrs
Stillman with Fred Beauvais, the
part Indian guide named by the
New York banker as correspond
ent.
Shortly afternoon they sur
prised Mrs. Stillman and her at
torneys by producing four wit
nesses said to have come from
Canada. Three of these were
women. Presumably they were to
tell of relations between defend
ant and Beauvais at the Stillman
camp near Three Rivers, Quebec.
They were expected to go on the
stand later today.
When the morning session op'
ened, Bernard Kelly, former sup
erintendent of the Stillman
estate in the Pocantico Hills and
his wife, Irene Kelly, were taken
into the building where the hear
ings were held. Kelley's previous
testimony concerned his reading
of a letter alleged to have beer
written to Mrs, Stillman by
Beauvais.
Bernard Kelly, it is understood
admitted on cross-examination TO-
day that he willfully evaded
answering a question yesterday
as to his knowledge of the where
abouts of Mary Kelly, the mald
who is charged by Mrs. Stillman'
LAWYERS with having stolen the
letters alleged to have been writ
ten to Mrs. Stillman by BeauVals
Today it was learned that kei'
ly told where Mary Kelly was llV,
ing and explained that he nae
visited her several times recently
Efforts to call her as a witness
probably will be made by th'
defense.

Why but y or 4 cents?
Situation Explained.
Should the Salem market for
cherries prove to be unsatisfactory
10 the cherry men hereabout,
growers naturally would turn to
other markets in the hope of re-
ceiving better prices. What of the
eastern states, which are clamor-
ing for fresh cherries?
The answer is that the eastern
states aren't wanting cherries
not now. True, they were a short
while ago. But the cherry men OF
California have rather ruined that
market for the Oregon growers.
East Is Supplied.
California cherry men failed to
get what they wanted from the
California Gamers for their fruit.
As result, hundred of cars OF
California cherries began to move
eastward and the eastern markets
were heavily supplied with fresh
cherries. Oregon growers, it is con-
tended, must turn elsewhere in the
disposition of their fruit.
Local Gamers are unable to say
in what manner the cherries are to
be handled this year. They are
unable to guess at what proportion
will be barreled, for this is diff
cult to determine early in the sea-
son.
Crop Is Lighter.
Although this years cherry
crop is somewhat lighter than that
Of last year, it is, however, better
than the average year. Last sea-
sons crop was exceptionally large
but the rain damage was heavy
last year and nearly 25 per cent OF
the cherries was wasted. Should
The weather be favorable, this
years crop may compare very fav-
oroly with that of last season.
Vi the 1900 tons in this vicin-
ity, approximately a thousand tons
Will be Royal Annes, and they ap-
pear to be of excellent quality.
Thousands of pounds will be
PICKED from door yard" trees
which are not considered in the
official reports of cherry acreage
many Of these trees will yield coo
or 700 pounds.
Last year the Salem canneries
sseh handled about so tons OF
Vlerrles daily, and it is believed
uey viii take care of at least that
Quantity this season.

Cherry Crop to be
Near 5000,
Pounds Estimate
Three and Half to Four Cents Predicted AS
Price In View of Glutted Condition of East
ern Markets; Royal Annes to Comprise Two
! Thirds of Total Production In Salem Area

Unless the rain damage is excessive this year. there will
be approximately 100000 pounds of cherries within haul
ing distance of Salem.
For these the growers will be paid about 3a or cents
per pound-$120 900, approximately.
These price estimates, although smaller than those OF
many growers and blow to the hopes of others are never
