question and should be treated accordingly
Scarcely 10 per cent of the orchards visited
were found to be in this completely frozen
condition. Even on these the bark on the
branches and small limbs still retained its
vitality. Such trees were largely confined
to cold, low, fiat places. or to pockets, at
very moderate elevations. Sometimes rise
of ten or fifteen feet resulted In the trees
being less seriously injured"
Many other kinds of fruit-bearing trees
also suffered severely from the extreme

SOCIETY

The past week was another quiet
one In the social circles of Sisters
vile. With the exception of few
club entertainments the week was
quite as dull as the one previous.
There are a few entertainments
booked to take place the present
week, and 1t Is to be hoped that
within the next fortnight events In
society will materially brighten up
as the season of sack cloth and ash
es Is drawing near,

Few realize that two weeks from

the lenten season. What a vast
difference there Is In this winters
season to last years. Affairs last

most puzzling feature of the entire

would start out, then suddenly
there would be that halt as though

Easter we will have a little social
whirl, but that Is exceedingly
doubtful, as the house cleaning
time arrives and the preparations
comences for the spring and sum-

Ground Hog Day

Tomorrow Is grounding day,aud
many people will scan the horizon
closely as soon as they get out of
their beds; for there are not a few
In this section who have faith In
the old superstition that If the
grouudhog sees his shadow there
will be SIX weeks more OF winter.
The hog Is supposed to come out
of bis hole and take a few steps
around. Ifit Is a beautiful sunny day
he will be sure to see 1t, but If he
happens ont while Old Sol Is cool
Ing himself behind a convenient
cloud, he may see the shadow Of
the cloud but not of himself. In
that case we can expect an early

Tasting the Sweetest Nectars.

The simple fact is'that but few OF Us
have ever begun to taste the sweetest
nectars which come from the gospel
vineyards. Many years ago, goes Il
German legend. a princess was to bp
welded to prince Of the far east. He
sent to her as a wedding gift an iron
egg. The princess, in disgust at such Il
present from her lover, threw 1t upon
The ground, when, 10, the shell broke
and opened. and inclosed therein was q
silver lining. In great amazement the
princess picked up the egg and found
In this silver lining a spring. She
touched 1t, and 1t opened. and. 10. in
side the silver lining was Il golden yolk
She touched another spring. and, 10, in
side the golden yolk glittered beaut-
full ruby. So the reason some of us
have had so little JOY out Of our gospel
experience is because we have only
touched the outer edge Of its joys. We
have only selfishly looked at the gifts
which God has given to us.-Rev. DR.

Besides, 1t would be more satisfac-

ment. Perhaps Mr.. Long has 1t
assessed to high and that Is wrong
Possibly tits too low, and that Is
not fair. Let the county court
appoint three d'sinterested and fair
men to 90 over the property and
assesses 1t. then everybody will be
satisfied.

MISS WARREN
Assistant Manager Barse of
the Waldorf Astoria Sub
Stimulates Her Testimony
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-Testimony
in rebuttal to that of few days ago,
when witnesses for the contestants of
the will of Miss Bertha Dolbeer tried
to prove that she was of unsound
mind previous to plunging from the
ninth story window Of the Waldorf
Astoria, was given to-day by witnesses
before Robert P. Lee, the commission
er named to take dispositions for the
San Francisco courts. The hearing
Will be continued tomorrow, when
two stewards from the steamship
Deutschland will be called by propo-
nent to tell of Miss DoIbeer's actions
on board ship during the voyage from
Europe.
The principal witness to-day was w.
A. Barse, assistant manager of the
Waldorf-Astoria. He denied that Miss
Eta NJ. Warren, the chief beneficiary
by Miss Dolbeer's will. had said that
Miss Dolbeer was not Of sound mind
thus contradicting Coroner Scholer.
Barse also said that, according TO Miss
Warren's statement and contrary to
the testimony of other witnesses. both
women did not leave Miss Dolbeer's
room at the same time. Barse said
Miss Warren went into the bathroom
and a moment later on going into the
hall to the elevator her dress caught
on the door, When she had freed her
self, she caught sight of Miss Dolbeer's
feet disappearing out Of the window.
