the last day of the meet.
HUNDRED ALIENS ARE
DEPORTED FROM 0 EGON
PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 4—One
hundred aliens were deported from ■
Oregon in the fiscal year ending June
30, according to the annual report of
the bureau of immigration made pub-;
lie here. One hundred and nineteen
warrants were issued for the arrest of
alleged undesirable aliens, and of
these 112 were served. x
Thirteen alleged Communists ' who !
were arrested and held for investiga-'
tion were all ordered released by the
department of labor, according to the j
.#*•* report.
The number of deportations during
the past year is an increase of 100
per cent over those of any previous
year, says Chief Immigration Inspec
tor R. P. Bonham.
DREGON’S APPLE CROP
WAY BELOW NORMAL
—
PORTLAND, Aug. 4.—The commer- j
cial apple crop of Oregon will be
about 60 per cent of last year, this es-1
timate being arrived at by F. L. Kent, j
field agent of the government bureau j
of crop estimates, from replies re-,
ceived from several hundred inquiries
sent out to growers of the state.
The 1920 pear crop promises about
60 per cent of that of last year.
The peach crop, Mr. Kent says, has '
probably never before been so near a
failure as this. Except in the Ashland
and Grants Pass district, the prospect
is “no crop this season.” Two hun
dred acres in the Ashland district are j
reported as having a 50 per cent
crop.

INMATES OF DEATH
CELLS DISTURBED BY
NASAL NOCTURNES
—.
WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., Aug. 4—A
sequestered cell, far from other prison
ers in the Westchester county jail, is
being prepared for Sam Michalow,
otherwise known as “the snorer,”
who will be brought to White Plains
' from Sing Sing pending the new trial
granted by the court of appeals.
00*' Michalow, who was convicted last
January of instigating the murder of
Mrs. Lizzie Niznick at Yonkers, has
been annoying the inmates of the
death house at Sing Sing with his
nasal nocturnes, so much so that War
den Lawes received a protest and a
request that some sort of silencer be
arranged. *

game was won by Dayton, 6 to 3.
SPEND BIG SUN
CONSERVING
WEST FORESTS
PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 4.—Lum
ber interests, of the northwest re
ceived recognition at the conference
of the National Lumber Manufactur
er’s Association held in Chicago in
July, first through the program
drawn up by the Western Forestry
and Conservation Association contain
ing a declaration of principles which
was adopted almost in its entirety.
In the second place, E. T. Alien, sec
retary of the organization, was ap
pointed forester of the national as
sociation.
Mr. Allen will work under a co
operative arrangement with both
groups, under the direction of the ad
ministrative committee. He has been
connected with the forestry work in
the west since 1907, when he came to
Portland as chief inspector of the
forest service. Later he resigned
from the forest service to join the
forestry association.
The program drawn up by the local
organization includes a declaration of
12 cardinal principles in forestry
conservation and legislation. It sets
forth in part that since the grow
ing of future timber crops must be
largely a government and state func
tion, both should acquire by purchase
or exchange of stumpage for land
much larger forest areas than they
now possess, the government should
lend its encouragement and assistance
to such state policy in forest improve
ment, protection and tax reform as
shall make conditions favorable for
state and private forest growing and
the public should adopt a helpful and
sympathetic attitude toward the prob
lems of the industry.
The legislation recommended pro
vides for an appropriation of $1,000,
000 to be used by the forest service
in co-operation with states and for
est owners in fire protection ;an ap
propriation for a survey of the tim
ber supply, provision for research
wrnrk in insect control, reforestation,
fcrest products and kindred subjects, |
provision for the acquisition to the j
national forest system of cut-over
lands unsuited for agriculture and for !
replanting of denuded areas.
CONNECTICUT JAILS
NO LONGER NEEDED
NEW LONDON, Conn., Aug. 4.—
There is a scarcity of inmates in the
jails of eastern Connecticut, due main
ly to the absence of alcoholic drinks
and the strict enforcement of the pro
hibition law. A feeling exists among
officials of Windham, Tolland, Middle
sex and New London counties that, if
prohibition continues to reduce the
number of inmates of jails in these
counties, a proposal to use a single
jail for the Second congressional dis
trict, which comprises all four coun
ties, will be submitted to the next gen
eral assembly.

LOVE SOFTENS “EXILE”
French Soldier Believed to Be Mo«t
Unfortunate Being in Ail History
—Scientists Were Debating
Painless Death.
Paris.—Blind, deaf and with both
arms amputated as the result of in
juries received in action during the
war, the young French veteran, Emile
Tilloloy, considered the most unfor
tunate being in all history, has found
a refuge from his tribulations in the
love of a little peasant girl, Jeanne
Delavoine, his boyhood sweetheart.
Their engagement has been an
nounced and the marriage is to take
place early in the spring.
The announcement has set at rest
the minds of leading French moral
ists and philosophers who had been
debating if the ending of Tilloloy’s
trials by euthanasia would not be
Justified.
Debate Painless Death.
Had society any right to demand for
the sake of a moral precedent, the
continued Calvary of this modern Job?
Would it be an humane and enlight
ened act to put an end to his horri
ble sentence by quick and painless
death ?
These were the disturbing ques
tions asked by French metaphysi
cians.
On July 24, 1916, Tilloloy was
w< unded In both arms and the face
by a bursting shell. The detonation
broke botli ear drums.
Expert surgery and tender care
saved his life, but be left the mili
tary hospital a year later deprived of
the three senses of sight, touch and
hearing, able only to taste and smell.
Taps Only Language.
He was taken to his own home, in
the little hamlet of Canaples, Depart
ment of the Somme, and placed un
der care of his mother and two sis
ters.
A primitive system of taps on his
body for “yes” and “no” constituted
his only means of receiving messages.
Upon Tilloloy’s return to his home
Jeanne became a daily visitor, taking
J her turn at sitting beside him and
j tending his needs. She identified her
self by three short taps.
, II Ullull.lkl
She Identified Herself by Three Short
Taps.
He concealed all affection, fearing
that out of sympathy she would sac
rifice herself to bring him a ray of
happiness, and for three years she
continued her tender ministrations.
Finally Tilloloy said to his mother:
“Jeanne must care for me, or she
could not be so faithful. Do you be
lieve she loves me?”
The answering tap was in the af
firmative. Upon his sweetheart’s next
visit Tilloloy put the question:
“Jeanne, will you marry me?”
A resolute tap and the folding of a
pair of arms about the bliud man’s
mutilated body turned his fears of a
lifetime of solitary suffering into
dreams of quiet content.
