ORDINAN CES VETOED.
The Mayor Puts the Stamp Of His
Disapprovai on Two Railroad
Measures.

Mayor Suiro yesterday vetoed two
measures recently passed by the Board of
Supervisors.
The first relates to the licenses of rail :
road ticket-brokers, and raises the annual
license from $40 to $1,000. The Mayor
deems the amount excessive and unlaw-
full.
The other is the proposed order prohib-
iting trespassing on the tracks OF railroad
companies except where they cross public
thoroughfares. This, the Mayor says is
uncalled for and that the railroad COM
pany has no right to ask the passage of
any such measure.

freeze set in, and this morning the tenn
perature was down to 6 degrees above
zero, with heavy east wind blowing.
Great fears are entertained that the
peaches and early cherries and plums
are killed. Squirrels were already cut
ting down the wheat when the storm
came on, and the freeze is expected to
do away with that pest.
OAKESDALE
Oakesdale, Wash, March 2.-This
country is experiencing the coolest
weather of the winter, and fears are
entertained for the fruit crop. The
wind has been strong from the north
east for two days, and the ground is
frozen harder than at any time during
the winter. Last night was the coolest
of the season by many degrees, and the
prospects are good for a crop of ice.
AS no ice has been put up, an ice fam
inc was expected but If the weather
continues cold for a few days plenty
of good ice can be secured. The cold
weather may also have the effect of
killing off large percentage Of the
squirrels.
AT WALLA WALLA.
Walla Walla, Wash, March 2.-The
cold wave is general throughout the val
ley, and the temperature has not gone
below above zero. The opinion is some
what divided as to the damage done to
fruit The most conservative growers
and commission men say only a small
portion of early peaches and apricots
are injured and that the general crop
will not be materially affected. The only
danger that is feared is continued cold
weather, which would be detrimental
to the fruit yield.
Colfax, Wash, March 2.-Last nights
frost did but little damage to fruit
at Walla Walla, Almota and lila. Only
apricots suffered. Early peaches, plums
and berries are safe. Two inches Of
snow covers these orchards.

age on the Up.ands.
MANY POINTS ARE AFFECTED
Ground Squirrels VIII Greatly Diminish
in Number, to the Delight
or Farmers.

Lewiston. Idaho March 1.-The cold
wave now general over the northwest
has extended to the valleys of the
Snake and Clearwater, and some fears
are expressed as to its effect upon the
orchards. The temperature this morn
ing was II above zero, and there was a
stiff cold wind that made the weather
seem much colder than it really was. At
s o'clock tonight the wind has gone
down, and the weather is more agree
able.
Robert Fleischner says he has re-
ceived a number of discOuraging reports
from orchardists today, but he does
not believe the damage to the fruit in
terests will be severe. He has expert
enced such weather before, and al
though the people have always been
greatly alarmed, he has observed that
the outcome was all right. He thinks
this will be the case this year. He says
it Is still too early to form a cOnclu-
sion, and that it will be best to wait
three or four days before passing an
opinion. None of the fruit trees were
yet in bloom. The sap had begun to
run, and the buds were swelling, but
Mr.. Fleischner thinks the orchards
were not sufficiently advanced to suffer
severely.
L. A. Porter made tour Of the orch
ards today, and was expected to re-
port from his home by telephone to-
night, but the wire is down. and moth
ing can be heard from him.
Ice dealers are taking advantage of
the cold wave. 1t had been thought that
no ice could be cut there this year and II
carloads were shipped in today. Nearly
two inches Of Ice formed last night
and it Is expected that four inches
more will form tonight. and dealers are
making preparations to begin cutting

Cold Weather in the Potlatch Country
and Along the Clearwater

Kendrlck, Idaho March 1.-THE month
of March was ushered in with the Their
mOmeter registering the temperature
at II degrees above zero, 1t being the
coolest night of the winter by four de-
grees. A chilling blast of wind has
been blowing constantly all day from
the northeast, and the hills are covered
with snow again.
M J. Vessels, of Lewiston, hOrticul-
tural commissioner for Nez Perez cOun-
~ while here yesterday stated that
the peach trees We're in bloom IN the
vicinity of Lewiston, and no fears were
entertained for the safety OF the crop
as long as the temperature remained
at ~ degrees above zero. 1t is believed
by some that the tender fruits have
oeen somewhat damaged in the Pot
Iatch, but not to great extent, as the
fruits are of the harder varieties, and
peaches are not grown TO any great
amount.
