Great Snow Storm in England in
May.-The English papers give ac-
counts of a severe snow-storm at
Holmdrth, England, on the 9th Of
May. 1t commenced showing vio-
lently at 8 o'clock in the morning
and continued without intermission
throughout the day. The railway
trains were delayed in their trips sew
eral hours, the snow being four feet
deep on the hills, and eighteen
inches in the plains aud valleys. The
trees on the verge of bursting into
full leaf were covered with snow.
Three men got stuck fast in the snow,
and but for timely assistance must
have perished.
Accounts from the various parts Of
the north and south of France refer
to the unseasonableness Of the
weather, and state that the fields as
we'll as the mountains are covered
with snow.-Boston Traveller.
Coal-We noticed yesterday even.

and sacks intended for shipment to

and promises to grow into an item in
the exports of Lexington. Above
this point 10 coal is obtained on the
river, either for manufacturing pur-
poses or eamboat use; and, as a
consequence, this place must supply
the demand above the city. Several

Trib is a Positive and
Harmless Cure.

In considering a proposition to quit
the use of liquor and tobacco, there
enters but single element of doubt
as to ones ebility to do so easily and
quickly with the assistance of Trib
and that doubt .elates to the sincerity
Of the parry seeking the cure. Does
he really want to be cured of the habit
to the extent that he will afford rene
dial help and opportunity by closely
following the instructions given with
each treatment. If the patient so
wills there is a speedy and positive
cure as the result of desire to be
cured. BY this treatment he will soon
realize that he is Indifferent to either
liquor or tobacco; that craving desire
has departed; his many ailments are
rapidly disappearing and good health
is the substitute

WITH PRODUCE MEN
Many Cars of Fruit and
Vegetables Shipped Daily
TO THE DAkOTAS AND MONTANA
WaIIa WalIa Potato Growers ReapinG
Rich Harvest This Season OFF
Their Crops.
TO THE DAKOTAS AND MONTANA

Though WatermelOnS have been IN
the local market for ten days very
few of home grown melons have been
seen as yet, this luscious fruit coming
mostly from California points. The
Walla Walla Produce company re-
ceiyed a car of melons this morning,
which was distributed among several
grocery firms of the city. Home
grown melons of good quality are ex-
pected to begin coming in by another
week when the price will drop to a
point where the average citizen can
consistently tote big un' home ev-
cry night.
From the number of cars of apples.
potatoes and onions being shipped
daily by local commission houses to
points in the two DakOtas and Mon
tana the people of those three states
are evidently feasting royalty on
Walla Walla grown vegetables and
fruits. Four cars left the big ware
house of the Walla Walla Produce
company yesterday and three more
will follow this evening.
Yesterdays shipments were rather
mixed, one car Of astraken and yellow
transparent apples and three cars OF
potatoes and onions being sent out
by this firm alone. The other two
commission houses made up at least
two cars for points in Idaho and Mon
tant The Walla Walla company's
shipments were consigned to various
points in the DakOtas and Montana.
From a rather Indifferent outlook
for potato growers early in the spring
the prospects of this class of veget-
able bringing big returns to growers
are rosy at present, rs cents per hun
dred being the ruling price received
with little prospect that the price
will lower as the season advances and
late potatoes find their way into the
market in huge quantities. Montana
and the Dakotas will absorb the sur
plus crop at good prices.

PRICES IN A SWIRL.
Lack Of Business in Sound Wheat
Circles Make 1t Hard to Base
Quotations fer Spot Wheat.

There is a continued lack of bust
ness upon which TO base quotations
for spot wheat says the West Coast
Trade The mills have continued to
offer premiums about as heretofore
and have taken everything offered or
in sight, in order to meet so far as
possible oriental orders for flour
coming TO hand Prices quoted at SAC
for blue stem and soc for club are
purely nominal. but are continued in
the absence of business in the crop.
The flour situation is likely to
prove another factor in preventing ar
early export movement in wheat. De
ferred orders for shipment will put
the mills in the market for early sup
plies and until the demand from this
source is satisfied there will be little
room for buying upon export basis.
Local exporters are offering upon a
basis Of 72C for club and 1906 for
blue stem at tide water, but little or
nothing is doing in the way of con
tracts at this figure.
Harvest though from two to four
weeks late, is gradually becoming
more general. The results are meet
ing full expectations so far as ad-
vices go, but it will be impossible be-
| fore the entire crop has ben secured
to give any figures on the crop IN
| which the element Of guesswOrk does
not play an important part.
The general situation has taken on
some strength during the week, due
principally TO disappointing returns
from threshing and Shows estimate
that the American winter wheat crop
| would be little if any in excess of
last year Abroad the situation has
shown comparatively favorable fea-
lures, particularly in France and Eng
land, where the weather has afforded
promise of a yield in excess of late
expectations. Russia is shipping free
ly from old stocks, moving some new
wheat during the week, but other
sources of supply are short for sup
plying wants of the immediate future.
FlOur-There have ben fair export
orders rendered for Japan, but few
have been accepted simply because
the mills cannot get wheat to fill
them. There are fair prospects of a
continuation of the low trans-Pacifis
freight rate on flour and if continu-
ed into the new crop year the prom

Washington, D. C.-The interior de-

past fiscal year Uncle Sam has been
defrauded out of s5O,O00,O00 worth of

the local land offices throughout the

stated that several United States
