RESPECTS.
State Horticulturist Tells Of His Trip
Over the State-Frost Did
Damage.

State Horticulturist Won Holdebeke,
who has recently made a tour of the
state, tells the Bellingham Herald that
fruit conditions this year are not ex-
ceptionally f1attering.
1.-The fruit prospects are somewhat
different this year than at any time in
the past" Mr.. Won Holderbeke is quot
ed as saying. THAT is the condition
all over the state. The winter has
been very peculiar this year. In
places where heretofore has been the
least frost, this year has been the
worst. The unusually cold weather in
the region of Vineland, in Asotin
county, as we'll as up the Snake river,
has injured, in localities, such fruits
as grapes, peaches and cherries. In
some places in the districts that
have mentioned the thermometer
ranged as low as 10 degrees below
zero. The prior warm weather had
developed the buds to such an extent
that all of the peach buds, especially,
are injured this year. Cherries and
grapes will also be scarce as a result"

Colonel E. F. Babcock, Waitsburg's
veteran fruit and nursery man, is in
Walla Walla today On business. Colo

of paralysis last August and is just
getting able to be about with the aid
of crutches. aside from my paraly
sis 1 am feeling fine" the colonel said
this morning. Il have gained over 20
pounds the past five months and [
think that is doing pretty we'll for an
old timer like me-" Asked as to the
damage to fruit in the Waitsburg dis
trict by the cold weather of last month,
the colonel said he was of the opinion
that little or no damage was done
The peach trees were not sufficiently
advanced he said to suffer any and
as to other varieties of fruit, such as
cherries and apricots the damage
would be Slight The colonel expects
to gather a big crop off his Waitshurg
fruit farm this season.
'Walia Walla is a pretty fine town"
is the way j. NJ. Spence, travelling
salesman for the Pendleton wooden
mills, expressed himself this morning.
Spence, as he is known to the news
paper fraternity and probably two
thirds of the people of Umatilla county,
was engaged in newspaper work for
several years. having been employed
on the East Oregonian and Tribune.
He was on the Portland Journal for
several months, but has given up his
newspaper work to take the road for
the WOODEN mills. Il took a walk
around the residence district while
ago and l was surprised at the number
of new residences under way. Walla
Walla is certainly a home town and
citizens should take pride in their
city. The number of new improve
ments under way is certainly astonish-
ing and if the town continues to grow
the next few years as it has in the
past five years you will have a popu-
lation of 10000

General Agent Robert Burns of the o.

Van De Water and F. w. Paine, pres
ident of the Walla Walla Irrigation
company, yesterday visited the Car
dena tract, an irrigated section being
promoted by the WaIla Walla Irriga-
ton company. The trip was made by
team, the party returning to Walla
Walla last night. THE Walla Walla
Irrigation company is certainly en-
gagged in a big enterprise said Mr.
Burns this morning. THE company
expects to have water ON the tract by
the first of the month. Work is be-
ing rushed on the pipe line across
Pine creek and about 1900 feet has al
ready been finished. The company has
about 5000 acres that will be thor
oughly irrigated by the canal already
constructed The soil instead of being
sandy as is found along the rivers is
in reality good wheat land and with
water on it will be capable of produc-
ing almost anything grown. 1t will
prove a great fruit and berry section
and will be capable of supporting many
hundred families. Walla Walla vii

opening up of this tract"

being clinics for the instruction OF the

part OF their medical training. A part Of
this training is ambulance service; and in
one year there are 1900 ambulance calls
from Bellevue and the three hospitals as

than forty calls day. 1t is this educa-

It possible for patients who are among the

by an Item in the report of 1902, which
shows that In the main hospital only five
