In the present case certification of the cotton seed for the 1921 crop means that the seed com mittee certifies to the fact that the fields were commercially pure Pima and that they found no evidence, of contamination. The committee has on file affidavits from Howard Bron of the Tempe Cotton Exchange, and $. II.

 To insure seed of satisfactory germi- nation, so samples from the Tempe Exchange, were submitted to the seed, laboratory of the bureau of plant in dustry, and 10 samples from the South west cotton company were sent to the same source for analysis. The average gernination of the Tempe seed was 931a per cent, while the lowest sample was SS per cent. The average germi- nation of seed from the Southwest Cot ton company was 90 per cent with the lowest S35z per cent.

 plants were found in scores of fields throughout the Salt River valley, a
 source of impurity which if allowed to continue to multiply would depreciate the annual value of Salt River valley cotton to the extent of millions ot dollars.

Robber Lures
Man to Death:
Under Arrest

The Dalles, Or, Sept. 10
James Doran of McMinnyille was
snot and killed near here Satur-
day night and companion Will
lam A. Ducharme, was severely
wounded in a carefully planned
attempt at double murder for
the purpose of robbery. The al
legged slayer, Abe Evans, also an
employe of the Brooks-Scanlon
Lumber company at Bend, was ar
rested Sunday afternoon near
Madras, IL hours after the MUIR
der.
Doran and Ducharme had been
working in the lumber camp at
Bend, according to Ducharme's
story, and were paid off Friday.
There they met Evans, who
agreed to take the two to Nc
Minnville in his car If they
would pay all expenses. This pro-
posal was accepted and the trio
left Bend Saturday morning, ar
rivIng in The Dalles about nine
O'Clock Saturday night.
Meal Taken at The Dalles
After partaking of a meal at a
local hotel Evans suggested that
the party pass the night with
friend of his who lived a short
distance out of the city, accord
ing to Ducharme.
Doran and Evans rode In the
front seat and Ducharme in the
rear About two miles west of fhe
city Evans stopped the car at the
roadside, explaining that his
house was but a short dis
tance off the road.

the car when | heard a shot,
Ducharme said, in telling Of the
shooting. 'I turned and saw Do

seemed to be falling backward.
| saw a flash and felt my left
shoulder burn. I turned and ran
until l came to a farm house.
Money Taken by Slayer
This money was taken by the
slayer. After Ducharme had fled

more shots into Doran's pros
trate body before carrying 1t
