Fruit Not Injured.

The concensus of opinion, gathered
from every possible source i'll the val
ley is that the fruit was not material
ly injured by the cold weather of last
night.
There was very general response
to the proclamation OF Mayor Sahipli-
ner and the personal work of Orsi n
Adams Jr., the latter of whom w $
instrumental in arousiug the fruit
growers to the danger and to the rec
essity of smudging at the critical hour
this morning. At the hour arranged
for by the committee, who made it
their business yesterday to secure the
promise of all the fruit growers pos
slble to smudge. fires were lighted all
over the valley and especially in his
city. There was dense cloud of
smoke overhanging the valley this
morning at sunrise and there is no
question at all that the temperature
was raised by this act of smudging
The temperature varied at diife :
ent places in the valley On Fruit
ridge it was 80 degrees. AT Palisades
it was lower as it was also in the Lo-
back district. Down the valley 1t
was twenty eight. On Orchard Mesa,
the temperature was relatively higher
than usual.
As whole it is not believed that
the fruit is injured to any appreciable
extent whatever and the people OF the
valley of the Grand have the very
greatest reason to be thankful for the
conditions that existed this morning.
The temperature has been rising
all day and it was comparatively
warm at the noon hour and this alter
noon.
The predictions from the office OF
the local weather bureau today by Ob-
server Sullivan are that 1T Will be
generally fair and warmer tonlRht.
On the whole it looks as If the great
danger is past and that we have esoap-
ed by close margin the destruction
to our fruit crop.
The lowest temperature last night
taken by Observer Sullivan was 80. 3
at about 6.15 a. m. and a gradual
rise followed.
