Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1905-02-25


wawai, and reported tothe HERALD that
the fruit had come through the winter
uniniured. the coolest weather on the
river at his orchards having been but
three degrees below zero, while it takes
ten below to injure even the tenderest
varieties. Owing to the dryness of the
season, the buds were very backward.
The one thing that theorchardists want
this spring is lots of rain. The snow
fall in the mountains Is light, and the
river, from which the orchards are irri-
gated, will be very low. In the districts
higher up the river, around Lewiston
and Charleston, the cold Twas more intense
and some injury to fruit may have result
ed there.
A discovery to which good deal of
mystery attaches waa made by E. w.
Downen, one day this, week. On his
farm on the river bluff above Wawawai,
Mr.. Downen discovered saddle, with
bride and blanket cached away under a
bush, the outfit evidently having been
there for four or five years. The saddle
had been apparently about $35 rig and
in first class shape when hidden away,
but the years of exposure to the action
of the weather had leftit in bad condI-
tion, although little repair will make
it a good saddle again. Whose saddle it
was, or why it was hidden away no one
seems to know.
