Waitsburg Crops Fine-"Crop condi-
tions are excellent in the Waitsburg
district although a good shower would
be welcome" said James Fudge, a
well-known Waitsburg farmer, who
was in Walla Walla on short business
trip yesterday. Being nearer the
mountains the heavy soil does not dry
out like the light land districts and
the fall wheat is standing the present
dry spell in excellent shape. Fall whea.
in places stands nearly a foot high and
spring grain is growing well. The
acreage this year is probably larger
than last year and the yield with fav-
orable conditions will consequently ex-
coed last years yield.

SAN BERNARDINO. April lit has
been discovered by Dr. F. NJ. Jenkins
that he is the possessor of a violin
that is worth a small fortune, it being
one of the instruments of Amati, and
not less than $50 years old.
Eighteen years ago DIR. jenkins pur-
chased the instrument from the Vale
music store in this city for SO. He had
been attracted by the tone of the instru-
ment, which was kicking about the
store as worthless, and purchased It,.
Since then he has kept it, but of late
years it has been used but little. Re
Gently he determined to have it re-
paired and sent it to a violin maker in
Chicago, who discovered the value of
the instrument, and so notified him.
Mr.. Vale, who is still in business
here. does not know how he came by
the violin. He thinks he probably
secured it from some of the early set
tiers in this section who probably
brought it with them from Europe.

OCEAN PARK, April 1.-THE recent

dedicate to this municipality all streets

consideration from the board of city
