"Our company will ship SO per cent
more cars out of the Lewiston and
Snake river valleys this season than
ever before in spite of the fact that
the impression has become general in
the outside country that the fruit crop
of this section is almost total fail
ure," said George E. Crum, of the
firm of White Bros. & Crum.
1.-THE crop is the largest the coun-
try has ever produced and while some
of the earlier fruits suffered in the
Lewiston valley, the apples, plums
and prunes will make a full crop
with a partial crop of peaches.
"In the Snake river valley there is
q bumper yield of all varieties with
out an exception. In any fruit dis
trict there is usually a shortage or
light crop Of some particular varieties,
but this is not true this year.
"The reports last spring that there
would be no fruit in the Lewiston and
Snake river valleys is entirely errone-
out and the country has suffered an
injustice as the result. We have ship
ped more than 100 carloads up till
this time and will ship another hun
dred carloads before the season is
losed."-Lewiston Teller.

A Horses Remark able Jump.

The runaway microbe got in its
work on the horse belonging to l.. d.
Williams, the rural free delivery mail
route carrier, this morning and the
animal, which was hitched to a light
spring wagon, made mad lash over
a course which began at the front
door of the grocery store of ]. Il.
Braden & company, on North First
street and ended at the Northern Pa
ciflc depot, the route taken being by
way of Yakima avenue.
Mr.. Williams was in the grocery
store when the horse started. but as
he was handicapped by several yards
he could not head off the outfit,
which went east on the avenue at
terrific rate. The horse ran near
where number OF teams were stahd-
ing. NJ. T. Ward had his express wa
gon backed against the Northern Pa
cific depot platform. Straight for
the express wagon the runaway out
fit went and Il looked for moment
as though the horse would kill him
self in collision with the stationary
obstruction. Instead the runaway
beast jumped for It and completely
cleared the bed of .he express wagon,
landing on the opposite side on his
feet and unhurt. The rig did not fare
so we'll. for in coming In contact with
the express wagon both shafts were
broken off short. In making his high
Jump the horse broke the traces and 1t
is probably owing 20 the fact that they
were not strong that the animal was
able to successfully make the leap
for life.
Mr.. Williams says that the animal
has often made some marvellous leaps
and that jumping q six-board fence
is an easy feat for him.--Yakima Re-

Two Men Killed by Well-Damps.

Ralph Greer, aged 80, and Delbert
Bowers, aged 81, were killed in well
at the ranch of w. o. Greer, about
nine miles from Bancroft yesterday.
Crecr had gone down into the well to
fasten rope around some piping and
falling in due course of time to give
q signal the other employees prepar-
ed to investigate. Bowers was sent
down to ascertain the fate of Greer,
and he, too, failed to respond in a
short time. The two were finally
brought to the surface, and It was
ascertained that both of them had
been overcome by gases in the WE'LL
and in state of asphyxiation had
drowned.
Greer had lived in Bancroft about
nine years, while Bowers had been
living there only year. Bowers
came from Spanish Fork, Utah, and
his remains will probably be shipped
there for burial, while Greer will
probably be buried at Bancroft. Greer

Withdrawn Forest Fire Patrol.

The Clearwater Fire Protective as

fallen during the past few weeks un-
til the ground and all vegetation is
thoroughly soaked with water.
The reports of the patrol show
numerous fires extlnguished during

WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE WEAK
BODIES.

Kidney Diseases Cause Half the Com.
mon Aches ard Ills OF Pendleton
People.
AS one weak link weakens a chain,
so weak kidneys weaken the whole
body and hasten the final breaking
down.
Overwoik, strains, colds and other
causes injure the kidneys and when
their activity is lessened the whole
body suffers from the excess Of uric
poison circulated in the blood.
Aches and pains and languor and
urinary ills come. and there is an ever
increasing tendency towards diabetes
and fatal Bright's disease. There Is
no real help for the sufferer except
kidney help.

the kidneys and cure every kidney Ill.
Pendleton cures are the proof.
