THROUGHOUT THE
VALLEY HAVE COMMENCED
SPRING WORK.
fidence that Fruit Crop Will be
Normal.

'"The spraying season is pretty well
on throughout the valley" said Fruit
Inspector Frank w. Morse this morn
ing. Il have visited a number of
orchards in the county the past week
and where the owners have not al
ready commenced work they are pre-
pairing to. The need of spraying to
successfully grow fruit in the Walla
Walla valley is becoming more appar-
ent to orchardists every year and the
number of trees sprayed will be the
largest in any year since 1 have held
the office of fruit Inspector"
In mis- visits about the county Mr..
Morse has taken keen note of damage
done to fruit trees by the February
cold snap. In his estimation peach
trees have suffered the most, in some
localities there being little hope of any
crop whatever. In localities where the
trees were afforded better protection
from the frost by reason of more fav-
orable surroundings there is every evil
dence of a normal crop being gathered.
Apricots and hectares have suffered
more than any other varieties of fruit.
Pear trees have been slightly damaged
in exposed localities. Cherries are
practically unframed and there will
be big crop of this variety of fruit.

WASHINGTON GRAIN AND FLOUR
NOW USED EXCLUSIVELY IN
ATLANTIC STATES.
Fifteen Million Bushels of Wheat Ship
ped From the State to the East
ern Markets.

Washington flour is now on sale in
Atlantic coast markets, and millions of
| bushels of northwestern fheat have
been shipped east since the last nar-
vest. Shut off to a great extent from
Oriental markets by the war, millers
and grain men of the northwest have
found an eager market in the east.
Our company alone shipped 100000
barrels Of flour east President Moritz
Thomson of the Centennial Milling
company is quoted as saying in the
Spokane Chronicle. Not less than
100000 barrels of flour went to New
York, Boston, st. Louis, Memphis, and
Nashville.
Wheat shipments to the east, which
rarely occur, were made this year to
an amount exceeding 100000 bushels
That is from three states, Washington
Idaho and Oregon.
I'VE can sell wheat to go east at
about ten cents a bushel more than we
can get for shipment to the Sound
to go to Liverpool.
"Of course, the eastern market was
made by the shortage of crops. We do
not expect to retain business there.
But it came just at the right time for
us. Shipments to the orient were cut
off, and everything looked blue to the
northwestern millers when the eastern
demand came.
''Wny, within the past month a quar-
ter of million bushels of our wheat
has gone east
Asked about wheat still held in this
state, Mr.. Thomson is quoted as say
ing: "The supply of bluestem is ex-
hausted. except some in the Walla
Walla district. In the Big Bend coun-
try and elsewhere along the line of
the Great Northern, not to exceed 2
and IL per cent of the crop is still
held by the growers. Along the line
of the Northern Pacific the proportion
held is much greater

GAS TRUST FEARS HEARST.
New York Legislature Chitieises Noted
Editor in State Senate.

ALBANY, N. Y, Mar. 16.-Tne agi-
tation in New York for a lower gas
rate, together with allegations against
the gas company of extortionate rates,
and of maintaining of false meters,
resulted in the adoption by the senate
Of a joint resolution providing for
a legislative investigation of the gas
and electric lighting situation.
Senator Grady, the Democratic lead
er and principal representative OF
Tammany in the upper branch of the
general assembly, led the opposition
to the resolution, charging that it's
motive was purely partisan. Senator
Grady directed a particularly bitter at
tack against William r. Hearst, who,
he said had jointea-hauds- with the
republican state chairman, Odell to
accomplish his purposes.

PURSUES FRAUDS.
Special Commission Will Report
Congress on Remedies and Evils.

special commission Will Report TO
Congress on Remedies and Evils.
WASHINGTON, Mar. 16.-The spec
ial commission created by the president
to consider the subject of naturaliza
ton, will it is expected, be prepared
to submit a full report to Congress at
the next regular session. The presi-
dent has shown a lively interest in
the matter, not only having before
him reports of federal officers con-
tanning many specific instances of gross
fraud and error in application of the
present naturalization laws, but nav
ing himself, while connected with the
municipal government of New York
City, noted many of these evils.
Besides internal fraud, the insuffici-
ency of the existing naturalization laws
has involved the state department in
endless correspondence with Europe
an governments growing out of these
cases Of doubtful naturalization.
The report of Gaillard Hunt, the
present chief of the passport bureau
of the state department, who will be
chairman of the new commission, re-
veals an amazing number of improper
and improvident naturalization, and a
wholesale forgery and sale of spurious
certificates, particularly in the cases
of those issued to Italians and Halt
ians. Many cases have been reported
to the state department where both
federal and state courts have issued
certificates to persons under twenty
one years of age, and to those who had
not resided at least five years in the
United States, and the most primitive
ignorance is occasionally shown by
the judges of local courts on this. sub
ject.

CUT QUEEN SHOOT
OLD PROPERTY OPENS INTO RICH ORE
IN kEWHouSE TUNNEL.
LOCAL MERCHANTS ARE LUCKY
WEALTH TO COME IN CHUNKS TO MEN
MINING ON THE SIDE.

The ore shoot in the Old Queen vein,
which produced over sI2s,ooo in the
Nos 6, and s surface shafts some
years ago, has been opened up at depth
of / 400 feet in lateral driven from the
Newhouse tunnel. The strike was
made yesterday where stope was
started and the streak was apparently
one foot in width. After the round of
holes were shot i, disclosed a vein over
four feet in width and tests of ore show
it to carry values Of SIS and s77 per
ton. Messrs. o. w. Lowell and Adolph
Nelson have two years bond and
lease on the Old Queen property for
$50, 900 aud in order to comply with the
terms of the lease it was necessary for
them to do a certain amount OF work.
with the result that they have opened
into continuation Of the shoot which
produced SO handsomely on the surface.
The top workings at no place exceed
500 feet in depth and on the basis Of its
past production the holders of the bond
aud lease should have third Of mil
lion dollars worth Of ore between Il e
tunnel level and the bottom OF the sur
face workings in this ore shoot alone.
and the matter of taking up the bond
will be no burden to them whatever.
The Old Queen is one of the Oldest
patented claims on Seaton mountain and
is owned by the Old Queen Mining and
Milling company the principal stock
holder being w. J. Hawley, OF Central
City. The smelling ore from the sur
face averaged over $40 per ton, ami in
addition TO the smelling streak carried a
good body Of mill ore. Mr.. Nelson had
lease on the surface of the Old. Queen
over ten years ago in which he took out
over $4,000. but was obliged to sus-
pend operations because OF the large in
ilow Of water in the workings Since
that time the mine has been drained
by the Newhouse tunnel and is as dry
as a bone. but no work has been done
until short time since. when these
gentlemen took over the property under
bond and lease. The company owns
