WnshingtOn Fruit Outlook.

j. E. Baker, commissioner of horti-
culture, gives out the following infor-
nation On fruit prospects:
The unusual forwardness of the sea-
son seems to have overtaken the fruit
growers of Western Washington in
greater degree than those of the East
ern part of the state.
Yakima county leads off in making
due efforts for the determination of or
chard pests by placing three active
men in the field to enforce the state
laws-County inspector Orlando Beck
and two deputies-who seem to be do
ing effective work. This rare exhibit
ton of good sense on the part of the
county commissioners is to be highly
commended, as work, of this character,
to be effective, must be done at the prop
er time or it is hardly worth doing at
all.
Stevens county is up and doing also,
the county inspector appointed last fall
William H. Cakes of Meyers Falls, max
ing the first general inspection the
county has ever had. The fruit pests
of this section are not of highly dan
gerous character.
On this side of the mountains Clarke
county leads off in point of activity.
There are all indications of a heavy
prune crop. County Inspector Gus
Henrickson, enforces the spraying of or
chards, and if not properly done refus-
es to accept the work, requiring it to be
done again in a suitable manner.
The periodical pests are San Jose
scale and twig borer, which the or
chardists are in earnest this spring in
fighting. 1t is to be hoped that they
will attack Goblin moth with the same
yigor later on.
There are 5000 acres in bearing prune
orchards in this county that is exceed
ing five years of age, with 70 evapor-
ating outfits of a combined capacity
of 200 tons of green fruit per day.
A full crop of prunes in this section
will mean 800 car loads of the dried
product this fall, making it the most
important prune district north of Cali
fornia, and rapidly increasing in i'm
portance.
The variety grown is almost wholly
Italien, which is a larger prune than
that ordinarily grown in California,
(Which is called the Petite" or French
prune), and of higher commercial val.

Stock inspector CHARLES Meyers makes
partial report on the condition of the

the bands in this county are in better
condition than they have ever been
known before.
Several heavy frosts during the last
week have to some extent injured the
fine prospects for fruit and grain in
many orchards in this county. The
early cherries in many orchards have
been killed, and vii not make a crop
this year. 1t is not supposed that 9th
err varities of fruit are so badly injured
as are the cherries, but nevertheless
there is some damage done

western portion of town. AS Harry
Auxer was going to see why a charge
of dynamite which he had placed in the
barber shop did not explode, it suddenly
went off, throwing him clear over the
bank and below the tracks. He is SER
iously injured about the head and his
life is despaired of at the present writ
ing. After the fire was under control
some boys were walking about the
ruins, when one of them, Willie Munroe
found loaded pistol near Mr.. Horn
ing's house. While handing it to one
of his comrades with the barrel in his
hand and pointing toward himself, the
cartridge exploded, hitting Willie in the
right breast. He died instantly. The
pistol was hot at the time and 1t is be-
lieyed the cartridge was exploded by
the heat. Mrs. Mead and her son.
Harold, were slightly injured by flying
debris. The total loss is estimated at
$4,000, Quirk being the heaviest loser.
There was no insurance on any of the
destroyed property.

Beers at Nepener and captured their

English Officers Unsatisfactory.
London, April 1.-THE unsatisfactory
turn that has recently marked the cam
paign against the Beers is resulting in
astonishing and sweeping criticisms by the
English papers of their own army meth
DDS When Butler struck snags in Natal,
when General Methuen and General Cat
acre made terrible mistakes and before the
British arms had secured any progress,
somewhat similar wave swept over the
press. But then it VS. directed at individ-
udls and chiefly confined to papers which
were willing to condesccnd to slang one
or several generals. Now names are NOT
mentioned but there is widespread, deeply
rooted conviction that the method of Sc
lection of British army officers is alto
gether wrong About this conviction there
Is no bitterness nor is it based upon con-
clusions rapidly arrived at Our officers"
says the conservative, common sense Out
look, "are as brave as lions, but as a
rule they are stupid"
General Roberts Advances.
London, April lS.-At last General Rob
erts seems to be on the eve of making ms
main advance toward Pretoria. Unless all
the usual reliable sources of information
and indications Struggled past the censor
are at fault, the British army within the
next few days will be marching north
ward. There is even in the best inform
cd circles considerable hesitancy in set
Ting upon the day Lord Roberts is likely
to leave Bloemfontein, but there is a set
tied impression that it will occur either
at the end of this week or the beginning
OF next.
Ladysmith dispatches confirm the re-
port that the Beers have retired from the
tlandslaagte district. No raiding opera
lions southwark have been reported and it
Is clear that the Boer advance was or
dered for the sake of employing the
burghers on active duty and of checking
assertions. The British inactivity in one
sense is mastery, since it demoralizes the
enemy.

Another factory has located in Easton,
Maryland, making the eighth one which has
been established IN that place within few
months. Let Us look at home now. When
the tracks of the Baltimore and Lehigh Rail-
way are made to conform with those Of other
railroads and the rehandling and reshipment
of Harford's productions, and the attendant
cost is done away with, there is not a more
inviting field for the development Of enter
prise In the STA Of Maryland than Bel Air.
Already an ideal place Of residence, within an

room were gracefully festooned with ever
greens, and from the center OF the ceiling long
streamers were draped, while the numerous
gas-jets had their radiance mellowed by
shades Of various hues. The stage had been
transformed by fair hands into boudoir that
would have done credit to any mansion In the
land and formed a splendid picture In which
the different persons who took part in the
programme formed the central figures. The
