RLALOCK FRUIT COMPANY WILL
MAKE BIG SHIPMENT
THIS EVENING.
Growers Deliver Melons In Wagon Lots
Go to Montana and Up
Country Points.

Five carloads of Walla Walla grown
watermelons will be shipped out to-
night over the o. r. & N. by the Bla-
lock Fruit company. This is believed
to be the largest single shipment ever
made out of Walla Walla and es-
tablishes the fact that Walla Walla
can compete with any of the new irri-
gated fruit sections. Orders enough
for five carloads were received between
Saturday and yesterday and growers
were instructed to rush their melons
into the commission house as fast as
possible.
AS a result a constant stream of
wagons loaded down with monster
melons have been heading for the Bla-
lock commission houses all day. One
monster load drawn by four big horses
was observed. The load consisted OF
at least four hundred melons many OF
which weighed we'll toward 80 pounds.
The melons will be shipped to Montana
and British Columbia points.

have launched a movement that in
ate November with monster logroll-
ing in Walla Walla. The subject of
increasing the membership in the dis
trict has been under consideration for
some time by the different camps and
as a result arrangements have been
perfected whereby an active campaign
has been begun.
AT a meeting of number of the
prominent members of the order. held
in Walla Walla Monday, the details for
the campaign were outlined and to as
sist in the movement the Modern
Woodmen of America Hustling Asso-
citation" was organized. H. H. Wood

dent; A. H. Harris, secretary, and w. p

that the campaign should be common
ced at once and the necessary notices
have been sent to all the camps in the
district, which includes the counties of
Walla Walla, Franklin, Columbia, Gar
field and Asotin.
Organizer Wood went to Waitsburg
this morning to take up the work there
and the other members of the commit
tee have begun hustling in this locality
After Mr.. Wood has worked up all the
available material in Waitsburg he will
then go to Dayton, following up in the
others counties in the district.
It is the aim of the association to Sc
cure at least 100 new members for the
logrolling and on November Z in Walla
Walla all the applicants will be taught
the art of woodchopping by degree
teams from the different camps repre-
scented in the district. According to
the plan adopted there will be a mon
ster parade preceding the ceremonies,
to be followed by a banquet after the
degrees nave been conferred on the
class. 1t is expected that large num-
Der of Woodmen from all over the dis
trict will be in attendance and the Of
ficers of the association are predicting
that it will be the largest gathering OF
the members ever held in Southeastern
Washington.
AS an inducement to the members OF
the order to assist in the work of hust-
ling prizes to the amount of $50 in cash
have been put up by the committee.

ond camp SIS and to the individual who
secures the largest number of appli-
cants as beneficiary members Will be
given the sum of $40.
The Walla Walla WOOdmen are very
enthusiastic over the campaign and al
ready they have started out to with
the hope of carrying off most of the
prizes offered.

PRIME CROP LIGHT
Oregon Will Not Have One-Third Of
Average.

1t is estimated by those capable Of
judging that there win not be more
than one-third of an average prune
crop in the state of Oregon this season,
the amount being placed at between A.
100000 and 100000 pounds. The av-
erage yield for the state is about 49,
100000 pounds. A great many agencies
are ascribe as the cause for the short
age this year, among them being the
prolonged warm and dry weather, and
the consequent lack of moisture and
lack of cultivation. The size of the
fruit will be far above average, and in
dications are that the quality will be
improved upon, which will have a ten
dency to increase the selling price con-
siderably.

afternoon, Charles Hewitt saw man w.
ing on his back in ditch, and a quarter
OF a mile distant his hat was picked up.
where it had evidently been carried by the
wind
Driving hastily to Medford, Hewitt no
titled William Riley, an undertaken, and
in company with William Jennings he
drove to the spot and brought the frozen
corpse to Medford. BY its side was
satchel containing some shirts and ladies'
wearing apparel. No marks of violence
were visible, and nothing was found lead
ing to the mans Identification. 1t is be-
lieved that the stranger fell from exhaus-
ton during the storm on Wednesday
night and persisted in the snow from ex-
posure.
The remains were viewed by Coroner
Grobler, of Moorestown, who saws the I'M
fortunate is about 45 years old, five feet
seven inches tall weight no pounds, dark
hair, inclined to be curly; smooth face,
scar under left elbow, red scar on left
side of nose. He wore black coat and
vest, black and white striped shirt, gray
trousers and gray overalls.
n HAL answering Gl1S description had
been at Medford for several days previous
to this occurrence. On Tuesday night he
was found lying on porch pear the glass
works, and when questioned it was learn
ed that both his feet we're frozen, but he
refused to go to a hospital To those who
gave him attention he said that he lived
in Gloucester, but that his wife was in
Philadelphia.
The body was placed in Riley's morgue
and viewed by many people. Some of the
glass blowers stated that the deceased
had visited the Star Glass works on sew
eral different occasions, when he stated
that Gloucester was his home
On Wednesday night, before 10 O'Clock,
the continual barking of dog caused
number of persons to look out of the
window, and the stranger was seen limp
ing badly and walking slowly in the mid
die of Main street with a heavy snow
falling. He then probably wandered out
of town.

shock to this community where deceased
was loved and respected by all. Mrs. Bish-

for some time, but no one was looking for
her death SO soon. She was a christian
woman and leaves a place that will be
hard to fill. She was kind hearted and
did many acts of charity that were
never known to any but herself and those
benefited. She was a member of the
Baptist church, and always took a deep
interest in its work. Her funeral will
take place this afternoon at two o'clock
