From farmers and others representing
different sections of this and adjoining coun-
ties in eastern Washington, the Waitsburg
Times learns that not only are all kinds of
fruit materially damaged but that very
large per cent. of the fruit trees are dead.
Some farmers report that every tree in
large orchards are completely killed. This
is accounted for by the prolonged warm
weather last fall being followed by the ex-
treme cold weather, freezing the trees while
the sap was in them.
The Yakima Record says: At no time
within the history Of this prosperous county
has its future prospects looked so bright and
promising as at present. We are On the
eve of a most prosperous era. We are en-
joying permanent and substantial boom
in zeal estate, the demand for which is
steadily increasing. Our agricultural pros
poets are also wearing most fattering as
pect. The area sown to grain this year will
be larger than ever before, while the indi-
cations for bounteous yield were never
better, and development recently made in
our nines gives certain PROMISE Of future
stability, and a faith that in the near future
they will largely contribute to our general
prosperity.
On Tuesday last, says the Palouse Gazette,
while the stage from Dayton was endeavor-

horses, vehicle, driver and all were carried
toward Snake river by a rapid and powerful
current Fortunately for the driver, just
before the river was reached the stage
caught on a projecting rock and he was
thrown upon the bank. The moment the
stage struck the tongue broke close up to
the axle, and the horses went down and
were carried under the ice into Snake river

TIE WILLAMETTE VALLEY.

The constantly increasing immi-
grafton coming to the Pacific coast
assures US that our state in a few
years, will be thoroughly peopled
and developed, says the Albany
Herald. Our connection with the
east by at least three lines of rail-
roads, and connection with foreign
countries by thorough system of
sea going vessels-all soon to be a
thing of faet-wif produce rapid
changes in ou1 states present condi-
tion. There is an element in all COM
munities that is uneasy and dissatis-
fed, no matter how healthy and fiat
tering the prospect ahead. They
think some other place better than
the one in which their lot is cast.
Would it not be well for all such
people, in view of the important
changes coming upon US, to seriously
consider the situation before folding
up their tents and stealing away in
search of something that is rapidly
coming to them? When the states
latent resources are thoroughly
aroused, and business has adjusted
Itself to the new order of things, it
will be found that the Willamette
valley will lead all other localities in
the state in varied industries and
amount of business done. This fact
will hit every mans business intuition
if it is susceptible of impression. The
Willamette valley is destined to be-
come great manufacturing center,
for the reason that it has abundance
of fuel, water-power and ore-the
three leading factors that constitute
the basis of great manufacturing pos
sibilities. Its agricultural resources
is of the first order, and by patient
husbandry will excel any other local
ity on the Pacific coast. When these
two great business arteries are fully
developed and their profits blended,
commercial desire will wake from its
lethargy and come surging to the
front, to win its share of the trans !.
norta,ion of an iynnonso nrodno,;o,
to foreign states. BY a high order
of husbandry, manufacturing devel-
opment and commercial energy, the
willamette valley and valleys tribu-
tary thereto, will become the Eden
spot OF Oregon and notearnest effort
of the wary speculator or bloated
monopollst can reverse this decree

of the bowels. The pain was very
great and he took quantities OF NOR
phine to keepit down and qniet the
system. He became weaker day after
day but last Monday he became very
respondent and said, 81 am going to

morphine he became very quiet and,

called on him yesterday morning
and Mr.. Stephens bade him come 10
but before be reached the bedside a
message was sent saying Mr.. Steph-

were admitted to his bedside. Yes

announced that he was resting quiet

among the members of the house
hold. He had been near deaths door
SO often before, and has been rescued
by such miracles of vitality and
nerve, that they confidently counted
on his strength to pnll him through
this crisis. He has been an invalid
for fifty years and his life despalred
of dozen times. Col. r. F. Maddox
called to see the governor yesterday
and found him vomiting freely. Be-
tween his gasps the indomitable man
looked up and said, quickly: els that
you, Speer ?' Colonel Maddox cor
rected him, and MIR. Stephens said, in
the meantime having vonited again:
'.It is SO da,k I can't see you" He
then said: "They say that this coffee
is making me vomit. Well, the hair
of dog is good for a bite, go be-
Iieve I'll take little more" Upon
leaving the house Col. Maddox asked
Aleck, the boy who attends Mr..
Stephens, what he thought of his
masters condition. Aleck said, 81

Jim Warren said, "Mr. Stephens, is
literally working himself to death.
He insists on supervising every de-
tail Of his Office and will allow us to
do nothing without his direction. IF
this attack were to prove fatal, Gov
ernor Stephens last official act would
be the signing OF Senator Colquitt's
commission, which was issued few
days ago." About half past one
o'clock Mr.. stephens sank rapidly
into deep stupor. The family, Col.
John Stephens and wife, Col. Grief
and wife, Mrs. Linton Stephens and
the state house officers rapidly
grouped around the bed of the dying
governor, and the minutes passed
painfully by until at last he sank
away in quiet gasp at IL o'clock.
His funeral will take place in Craw-,

on the horse, which we propose to give
away to every subscriber paying in advance,
if requested, whetherspersonally, or by.
mail; if by mail send 3 cent stamp to pre-

the following to say of the treatise:
"Kendail's Treatise on the horse is book
of about 90 pages, with paper covers, fully
illustrated, and containing an 'Index of
Diseases, which gives the symptoms, cause
ing all the principal drugs used for the
horse, with the ordinary dose, effects and
antidote when a poison, a table with an en-
craving of the horses teeth at different
ages, with rules for telling the age of the
horse; a valuable collection of receipts, and
much other valuable information. In pre-
pairing copy for this book it was the aim Of
the author to make 1t as plain as possible
for the non-professional readers, and give
them information which is of the greatest
importance to horsemen, and yet avoiding
all technical terms as much as possible, and
also condensing the book as much As pos
sible without leaving out the real essential
information in treating each subject. Every
farmer or horse-owner should own one Of
these little books.

THE TAIL0R'S STRIKE.
Their Employers Claim They Are
Making Money Enough.
And Refuse to Accede to Their De-
mands for Increase of Wages.

The statement hat the journeymen
~tailors of the city cannot make over ten
dollarsa week by ten hours work, which
assertion comes from the tailors them
selves, appears to meet with contradic-
ton from their employers. Mr.. Ed.
Williams, gents furnisher, hailed a BEE
scribe as he was hurrying up Farnam
street yesterday and requested him to
make some corrections.
az want you to say" said MI. Will
liams, that our tailors are not by any
means underpaid. Tailors who work
steadily can make fro m
TWENTY-FIVE TO THIRTY DOLLARS
a week, but of course the slower ones
and poorer ones do not make rs much.
We pay by the piece and %tailors in Oma-
ha are paid better in that way than two.
thirds of the tailors of the country. The
strike which has occurred in Mr.. Lind
quests store and i'll my own is the result
purely of spite work. The men knew
that we were rushed with work just at
this season, and thought it an opportune
moment to demand higher prices. The
men struck only at L~indquest's and here,
so the statement that other parties have
acceded to the demand for a new scale of
prices is also false, because no other firms
have been troubled. Their prices re-
main the same"
''What has been paid and what is de-
manded!" inquired the reporter.
"wE HAVE PAID
according to a scale Of prices varying &C
cording to the work done, material used,
nicely desired, etc. We pay by the
piece. On good overcoats, for instance,
tailors are given from thirteen to fifteen
dollars. What they demand is an ad-
vance equivalent to four or five dollars
on each suit"
"They are still out2"
"Yes, and no change will be made.
They can come back at their old prices,
or we will get new men. We are still
doing work"
The reporter went into Lindquest's
establishment afterwards and this was
corroborated there. Their men were
still out on the ''sIrike," and if they did
not return soon, new men were to be
procured.
