the young orchards in Thurston Coun
ty were killed during the recent freeze.
It is claimed that in many cases the
young trees were completely girdled
aud the bark fell away, killing the
trees. No such conditions are report
ed elsewhere, and, so far as we can
learn, no damage was done to the fruit
trees in Mason County. It IN ay be
that the damage has been over esti-
mated and the trees will be found live
1y in the spring We hope so. as a
number of growers have considerable
money invested in their orchards.
Young trees are sometimes winter
killed, or injured by 'sour-sap,' but
no general destruction of fruit trees
has ever occurred before in the state.
Many trees still bear their green leaves
which renders them liable to injury to
sap.
Don't fail to get lone of those hams
that we are selling at 10 cents per ID.

which is folded under the dress and
fastened by hooks, and can be adjust

dress from mud or snow. Like many
inventions it is so simple that it is a
wonder no one thought it up before.

MCDONALD & O'NEILL
A pair of hobos were hanging around
town last week, cumming meals or
trying to sell some jewe1ry, evidently
stolen. On general principles it is
we'll to have nothing to. do with these
kind of people. and keep them out of
your houses. A deserving man with
an inclination to work can usually
find it about town; while the bum
is generally looking for something to
steal.
