GREAT DAMAGE
Done TO Fruit and Vegetables

played havoc with the fruit crop,
which had escaped damage up to
that time.
There was both ice and frost

damage, but it is certain that a

buds have been killed One twig
from a peach tree showed only Z
live buds out of 80, and the sec

BIG LAKE FORMED.
Volcanic Freak in Washington
Creates Second Water Sheet.

Another lake has been strangely
formed in the Olympic Mountains,
Wash, by the dropping of part OF
Queens Valley from sight. This
happened three weeks ago, at the
time of the severe earthquake.
Hunters who returned today from
Queens Valley say that a big
section of ground dropped. Water
filled the depression, and thus a
lake now exists where a month ago
was forest and prairie land. Sci.
entlsts believe the Olympic Noun
tains to be the most recent eleva-
tion on the earth's surface, and the
place where seismic disturbances
might be expected. Two months
ago a similar lake was created
further south.

The Russian Battleship Pet
rOpavlOvsk Was Lured
To Ruin.

Port Arthur, April 17.-Since the
bombardment of Friday all has
been quiet here.
Viceroy Alexieff has hoisted his
flag on the battleship Sevastepol.
The Easter gifts received from
the Grand Duchesses have been
distributed to the soldiers and
sailors.
The sinking of the Russian
battleship Petropavlovsk by the
Japanese turns out to have been
a shrewd piece of strategy upon
the part of Admiral Togo. Observ-
ing that each time the Russian
ships left Port Arthur they went
the same course, Togo countermin-
ed that course, one black night, and
the next time he drew the Russians
out of the harbor he blew up the
battleship and the Admiral.
Landing is Expected.
Rumors are current here that
twenty Japanese transports convey.
ing troops have been sighted
steaming in the direction of Yin
Kow. The rumors cannot be con,
6rmed.
The Russians impatiently await
a japanese landing.
