COMING FRUIT CROP PROMISING
From the oregonian.

From the Oregonian,
OF course Il Is too early In the season
to make any prognostications in regard
to the fruit crop, but Mr.. Miller, the
investigating the condition Of affairs in
a number Of orchards, says that the
outlook is PROMISING judging from the
showing Of fruit buds on the trees.
He finds also that the scale pest has
almost entirely disappeared. just from
what cause he does not know, but he
thinks the unusually early cold snap
last fall may have had something to
do with II, He says about the only
pests which are now left for the or
chardist ITO fight are the Goblin moth
and the woolly aphis, The latter can
be got rid of by putting hardwood
ashes around the roots of trees; and the
former can be killed by spraying. Mr.,
Miller says he has not been able TO
find that any serious damage has been
done to fruit trees by the freeze-up
last fall. II might be that the young
trees in nurseries, which We're full Of
sap when the frost came. have been
damaged, and possibly some trees in
exposed positions, but as general
thing, in bearing orchards. no harm
has been done, as far as he could see,
and there is every prospect Of the
usual bountifm crops Of fruits of all
kinds this season.

Switching Votes on the Senatorial Bal
lot at washington's Capital.

Olympia, January 2T.--As agreed al
last nights conference Of the Populists,
Lieutenant Governor Daniels today re-
ceived the full vote for United States
senator that heretofore has been cast
for Speaker Cline. Four ballots were
taken. a complete transfer of the
Cline strength was made on the second
ballot. when Irwin, Carr, Koehier and
Range. who had voted for either Squire
or Cline on the first ballot, voted for
Daniels. This gave Daniels "A votes or
two more than Cline received at any
time. Judge Turner increased his
strength three and finished with SO
votes. the highest he has received.
Senator Blumer asked the privilege
OF explaining his vote, and made a
most dramatic speech in advocacy Of
Turner's candidacy, and closed by vot-
ing for him for the first time Canut
made speech imploring the middle
of-the-roaders to stand together. The
main feature Of the balloting was that
Daniels could not unite the Populists'
vote any more than Cline could, and
that the Populists for the first time
seemed restless and to lean towards a
caucus The Turner forces seem i'm
pregnable and are now more hopeful
than ever Of final success.
The senate was in session for two
hours this forenoon only. then adjourn
ed till tomorrow. The proceedings were
devoted to consideration of commit
tee reports,
The house this afternoon passed three
bills, One makes 1t lawful for farmers
to peddle produce without license in
the cities. Another provides for an
nexation OF contiguous territory by
counties, The most important bill pass
ed. however, was one raising the age
OF consent to eighteen years, and
makes the carrlal knowledge of any fe-
male under that age equivalent to the
crime of rape with penalty of impris-
onment of from five to twenty years.
The house killed the bill increasing the
fee for fling articles of incorporation

ously opposed.
