Dear Editor:
You havo Invited your readors to
express themselves about their Inter
ests in the different subjects. Now,
I am so situated that 1 do not mlnglo
with business much, hut one thing
makes mo sick, which Is this: I have
lived in Oregon twenty years, and I
h.io been a fruit grower. Being In
terested In nursery work for over
seven years. I fully understand every
condition there, and I will say that
hero they could do better than there
If they would only pay one half tho
attention to their apples that they do
there. But It is tho acreage that
they get rich on there. Their trees
bear no more fruit than tho trees
hero, and tho trees here aro not one
half as susceptible to diseases as
there owing to tho cold winters here
that kills the germs. It is tho trans
portation that brings the apples so
high here, and I feel sorry that our
Eastern people will allow tho Pa
cific coast people to ship hero when
the Eastern people will not awaken
to their privileges whllo opportunity
Is knocking at their doors.
There is no reason why the people
here cannot if they will make their
land the samo price, and still the
East will buy.
I enclose clippings, which may bo
of interest to your readers.

ARREST
LEADERS
Ryan and Hocldn Caught In
Dynamite Probo Net.
A NATION HIDE CONSPIRACY?
federal Manhals Act In Many Citlet. '
To Arraign Accused Men at Indian-
apolls March 12 Hockln, Said
to Be Brains of Ironworkers'
Union, Sought Immunity. I
Indlannpolls, Ind., Feb. 15. Thirty
trrests, with a certainty that there will
be others, represents the work of the
federal grand Jury In the dynamiting
case up to date, nnd It Is not denied nt
the federal building that there arc from
fifteen to twenty others who hnve beeu
caught in the net nnd will be arrested.
Nearly all the accused men nre now or
have been members of the Internation
al Association of Bridge nnd Structural
Ironworkers' organization.
They were In the great conspiracy
to destroy property and break uy the
open shop movement, however, and
each Is charged with some other act In
connection with members of the Iron
workers In the work of destruction.
Frank M. Ryan, president of the in
tematlonal union; Herbert S. Hockln.
secretary-treasurer; .1. T. Butler, first
vice president; Fred T. Sherman, husl
ness agent of the local union of Iron
workers, and S. P. Meadows, business
agent of the Carpenters' union, were
arrested here and taken nt once to the
olllee of the United States marshal,
where they gave bond, Ryan nnd Hock
In In a sum of $10,000 each nnd the'
others In the sum of $5,000 each.
The arrests bring before the country
the full extent o." the alleged dynamite
conspiracy and show what men the
government accuses of having had a
connection with a nation wide crlm
lnal organization formed among iron
workers nnd others to fight the bat
tles of unionism with dynamite and
nitroglycerin. Caught in the net of
tho government in all parts of the
country nre labor men who are accused
here of having had n hand in the con
spiracy or In overt acts In furtherance
of the conspiracy. Explosions which
occurred In twenty or more cities in
six years, and for which no one was
punished, again spring up before the
public, and local communities find that
the government Is attempting to bring
to Justice many men who have not
hitherto been known to be connected
with the dynamiting game.
A total of fifty-four men were indict
ed by the federal grand Jury, It was
learned at the federal building. Dis
trict Attorney Sillier, who has been In
charge of the Investigation, predicted
that every man Indicted would be tin
der arrest by today. Few, If any, he
said, wero likely to escape arrest, al
though In one or two Instances, he said,
a defendant might be out of his home
city or not accessible to tho marshals
at once.
All defendants will be arraigned be
fore Judge Anderson in the federal
court March 12.
Herbert S. Hockln, the secretary
treasurer of the Ironworkers, made
many attempts to reach an agreement
with the government after the Inquiry
began, but all overtures were rejected,
as the officials believed him to be oue
of the leaders In the conspiracy and
were certain of his Indictment and pun
ishment. It is no secret that he will
make a clean breast of the whole con
spiracy. Hockln Is charged with having gone
to McManlgal when the latter was n
quarryman In Detroit and to havo in
duced him to attempt the blowing up
of a hoisting engine and some other
innchlncry and designated the place
where the explosive could be found.
It is also charged that he induced Mc
Mauigal to go to Buffalo uud blow up
the Lehigh Valley bridge. The dyna
miter says Hockln was with him In
Buffalo, but the explosion was arrang
ed so as to give Hockln time to get to
Canada.
It has been related by McManlgal
that Hockln aided In the actual trans
portation of the explosives. The tak
ing of a suit caso full of nitroglycerin
to Cleveland for tho Fourth of July
"job" at Akron Is one of tho events In
which Ilocklu figures.
Besides being u field general In the
conspiracy. Hockln Is alleged to have
been in charge of u good deal of the
work of keeping the conspiracy sup
plied with dynamite and nitroglycerin.
He was back of the plan to establish a
nitroglycerin storage house nt Muncie,
it Is said, ami, nccurdlug to McManlgal,
was the man who made arrangements
with ('. C. Keiser. a well shooter, to
obtain the "Juice." consignments of
nitroglycerin being transferred from
one buggy to another along lonely
roads during the darkness of the nljdit.
Fur some time Hockln lias been rec
ognized as one of the most resourceful
leaders In the Ironworkers' union, and
as an lnternatlnmil organizer was much
In demand In till parts of the country.
