Fruit Damaged.

MILTON, March 22.-Since the fruit
growers Of this section have had an
opportunity to fully investigate the
extent of the damage done to the fruit
by the late heavy frosts, it is found
that it is far more severe than was
at first supposed. In both the Free
water and Milton districts all april
cots are killed, nearly all the peaches,
pears and even the apples are lost,
where there is no shelter. In
some sheltered places some fruits We're
saved. S. A. Miller, the nurseryman
at Milton, reports that very small
of fruits of the early varie-
ties will be raised. The later varieties
and berries are unframed.

Don't Delay.

Now, Tom, dear old Tom, don't you
do this; do not wait till the last min
ute like that, but start in now; don't
you let anyone say or say it your
self, whatever you do, that there is no
God nor heaven or world hereafter for,
Tom, they don't know what they are
saying, for there is a God and a mer-
ciful God, and a heaven, life here
after. Tom, dear Tom, tried to think
sc myself once. but God has come to
me and showed me different. He has
given me many graces since 1 have
been in this cell. for have had to put
up with lots of little and big things
both of which 1 could not have done
without his help. Tom, you know l
am no coward. and not afraid to die.
and that I will die man. You know
there must be something in this what
I say; that there must be a God, a
life hereafter. or I would not say it
you know that. dear Tonic you
anyway. 1 can't explain it. dear Tom
but have a feeling that has not been
with me long. 1 feel different than l
have ever before, and which I got on
ly through steady praying. Do not be
ashamed to pray; it is nothing to be
ashamed of. Our biggest men We're
men who were men of prayer. and you
and me are just as good in Gods eyes
as them, if we are only true to Him.
Now, dear old Tom, don't destroy
this, but keep it. and when you feel
disconnected take it and read it over
and it will help you to keep and re-
member your promise Don't let this
do it, but look to God and ask Him to
help you This letter will only make
you remember and help you to look to
God. Trust Him, and all will be well.
1 will be looking down upon you from
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-03-22

this one. Never forget it, for it comes
from one who loves you dearly and
| who would have laid down his life
for you-but do not feel bad, for. Tom.
| 1 only go ahead so as to be there to
welcome you when you come The
father will come and see you right
and so will Mr.. Easterbrook and any
thing he can do for you he will do it,
for he has been a good friend to me
since 1 came over So will he be to
you. for he made that promise Mr..
Wise tried to do a lot for me with
the governor. He wrote him good
letter for me, and he has not for
gotten you. Mr.. Easterbrook is
good mana God-fearing man.
I would have liked to have had a
long talk with you in the office. but 1
could not talk when I saw how you
were suffering. 1t broke me all up. 1
tried to be brave but, dear Tom, it
broke my heart to see you suffer so.
But cheer up, look to God He will
help you, and then in a few years we
will meet again in heaven, never more
to part-where there is no more pain
or sorrow.
Now, Tom, you know I am not
much of talker, nor much on writing
letters, and I would have liked to have
palmer but, Tom, think you can read
it and understand it. All you have to
do is to remember your promise to me
and also remember that God will hear
your prayers and save you. and that
one who loves you most dearly is wait
ing and praying for you in heaven, and
that you must not disappoini me. and
be true to your promise for. Tom,
this life is too short at the longest,
and though you may have wasted the
best part of it, as I have done. do not
waste the rest of it by staying away
staying away from me if you do.
"Turn to God, Tom
Now, Tom dear Tom, turn to God
and when I am gone, be true to Him
as I have been true to you. If. Tom,
I have not been true to you, I have
always tried to be, anyway; so try
and be the same to me, and if you do
this, dear Tom, I know I will meet
you in heaven and you will find more
peace on this earth than you have
enjoyed in long time.
Now, Tom, must say again, do not
pay any attention to what any cons or
anybody else may say; let them say
all they want to; let them do as they
wish; you put your trust in God. He is
the One that will save you, not them.
And now let me give you little illus
tration. You have noticed that most
generally when a man is shot or hurt,
in one way or another, they always
call on God the first thing, and most
times when man gets shot or hurt so
bad that he has not time to say but
one word, Tom, you know and I know
that word is most always God. Is it
not so? The worst of them and the
gamest Of them say it. and the same
when most of them are dying call out
to Him for mercy
Don't Delay.
Now, Tom, dear old Tom, don't you
do this; do not wait till the last min
