CORRESPONDENCE.

SPRINGDALE, May 2, 1897 !.
Editor Union. May has ,dawned
upon us little blustry with an
occasional shower, but withal the
prospects are good for bounteous
harvest this season. Small grain, in
the main, looks very promising.
Our fruit trees are SO heavily load.
ed that unless there should be a
frost to destroy portion of it, it is
likely that we will have to pull off
some of it to keep the trees from
breaking down, we will be thankful
for Bounteous crop of fruit thus
year, but in the event that the rules
and regulations prescribed for the
orchard disinfection, by the State
Board of Horticulture is rigidly
enforced, we will apply the ak, as
we think this is the most effective
and will put an end to all controver-
sy on the subject.
The river is very high and very
dangerous to cross.
On the 29th ult James Crawford,
while crossing on horseback near his
fathers residence at Oak Creek,
two miles above town, was dismount-
ed and received rather cold bath.
The swift current took him down
about one hundred yards, near some
brakes, where he succeeded in grasp
ing cottonwood sapling and'there-
by extricated himself from the angry
waters and landed safely on terra
firma. He held spade in his hand
but the tool came out with him all
safe and sound. One or two others
have narrowly escaped being carried
off in the same manner here of late.
Laura Larson, of Rockville, who
is now in Long Valley, started from
Mount Carmel to 60 to Orderville,
on horseback, when the animal
became frightened and ran away.
She was thrown from her seat in the
saddle but her foot caught in the
stirrup and she was dragged some
distance, during which time she was
dispossessed of her clothing. When
she was finally released, she dressed
herself in new dress she was taking
along for an emergency, which came
in good play at this critical mo-
ment.
The young people had an outing
yesterday over the hills up at Oak
Creek Canyon.
There is a spot in curve in the
Steamboat Mountain where the
Snow is about IS feet deep at pres
ent. Snow often remains there all
