FROST DID NO DAMAGE
IN WENATCHEE VALLEY
Fruit Growers Rejoice In Their Escape From
Frost Blight-ImmenseD Damage In
Other Fruit Districts

fruit crop of the Clark
ston country was injured by freeze
night before last, the thermometer
dropping to 27 degrees above zero.
The extend of the damage is not
known. Some orchards were practi-
cally ruined while others were not
touched. Reports from the lower
Snake river country are conflicting.
Some say the damage will reach more
than so per cent, while others put it
at normal figure. In Charleston it is
feared that peaches and early cher
ries are badly hit In Lewiston some
cherry orchards are practically ruin
ed, while others escaped with little
damage. Along the Clearwater river
toward the Arrow, orchards close to
the water are not badly damaged ex-
cept peaches and early cherries. Ia
ken as whole it is e timated by
many that more than half of the
fruit crop in the valley is ruined
Even so, the crop will be much
larger than last year, as the trees
this spring were overburdened with
blossoms, fully half of which would
be knocked off to permit the rest to
mature.

PULLMAN, April ga heavy
white frost covered the ground here
yesterday morning. Early vegetables
were injured to some extent, but the
loss will not be great as the season
is so late that few gardens have been
planted and fewer are up. The cold
weather which has prevailed for two
or three days is almost unprecedent-
ed. The heavy snowstorm of Sat-
urday was surprise to every one.
A novel spectacle was witnessed here
when the snowstorm started. Mr.
Lyle, who drives the sprinkler wagon,
was sprinkling Main street when the
snow began falling and the sight Of
a street sprinkler working in a snow
storm attracted much attention and
comment. Today the weather is
warmer, with bright sunshine and
prospects of warmer weather con-
tinuing.

Wenatchee Valley Fruit is Un-
harmed
This is the glad news today-as
semi-officially reported by M. 0. Tib-
bits, president of the fruit growers
association, and based on interviews
and reports from many prominent
fruit growers of the valley
The large orchard of Conrad Rose
shows no bad results from the frost;
a few of the blossoms show slight
color from the frost, but the fruit
crop will be in no wise diminished,
as the trees are all particularly
heavy laden with bloom, and a por-
ton of the young fruit will have
to be thinned out as it is.
The same conditions exist in the
Messerly orchard.
Mike Horan of Sunnyslope says
that there has been no injury done to
fruit in that vicinity. ] NJ. Derifield
of Malaga is in the city today, and
states that Malaga viii enjoy bum
per crop this year--the frost did that
section no injury.
r. P. Webb states that trees up
the Wenatchee river escaped injury,
and that a good big crop may be eX-
pected.
Reports from Orondo also indicate
that that section escaped injury from
the late frost, and that prospects for
this seasons crop are especially
promising.
So from all indications the Wenat-
chee valley is the only portion of the
whole northwest that has escaped
loss and damage by reason of the
numerous late frosts. Throughout
have done millions of dollars worth
of damage to the fruit crops, and
vet the Wenatchee valley has escaped
unscathed, and sustains it's reputa-
tion as a place where frosts have
never been known to blight a fruit
crop.
The tidings are received with joy
by people who are interested in the
valley, and the outside fruit world
will again concede the palm to We
natchee as the safest and most GER
tain fruit producing country in the
northwest.
The following are news bulletins
showing the results of the frost on
the various fruit crops for the COM
ing season.

EXpOsitiOn-PoWcrfu Vessels in
Hampton Roads.

When the long line of battleships
forming the North Atlantic fleet,
with the flag of Rear Admiral Rob
ley D. Evans flying from the mast
head of the Maine, steamed into
Hampton Roads late in the afternoon
of April 18th, and dropped anchor in
two majestic columns just off the
grounds of the jamestown EXPOSE
ton, the real nearneSs of the opening
day was realized with a startling sud
denness by the thousands of work
men, who, having just finished their
days toll, stood along the boardwalk
on Willoughby Boulevard and watch
ed the beautiful scene.
AS the flagship was passing Fort
ress Monroe, the battleship Connec-
ticut, which had been waiting the
coming of the fleet, turned loose on
the one-pounders in Her bow and the
sound of the salute to the commander
of the fleet came rolling across the
water to those ashore.
The red spurt of fire, the puff of
white smoke, and then the roar OF the
report, at precise intervals, fastened
the eyes of the watchers on the an
chored warship until louder boom,
one much closer, drew attention to
the squatty old Texas, lying close in
off Pine Beach. That warrior of San
tiago was also saluting the arrival Of
Fighting Bob
The battleships under Admiral
Evans came into the roads in single
column and when they passed Old
Point they divided and the second
division, composed of the Alabama,
Illinois, Kentucky, Kearsarge, Iowa
and Indiana, came up and anchored
in line with the Connecticut, Maine,
Virginia, New Jersey. Missouri, Geor-
gia, Rhode Island and Louisiana.
The cruisers Washington and Ten
nesee are moored near Fortress Mon
roe. No sooner had the Maine
dropped anchor than she answered
the salutes of the Connecticut and
Texas. In the gathering darkness the
flash of her guns was plainly dis
cernible on shore.
Slowly night enveloped land and
water and the hundreds of lights that
monsters showed the last of the
watchers where the most powerful
fleet of fighting ships that ever
floated the stars and stripes to the
wind was at rest.
The vessels which have arrived and
been assigned anchorage in front of
the exposition grounds are as fol-
lows:
Battleships Connecticut. Maine,
Kentucky, Alabama, Indiana, Ohio,
New Jersey, Louisiana, Missouri.
Kearsarge, Illinois, Virginia. Iowa,

timation that has reached Washing
ton from several separate sources in
the last few days one of the sources
being so high that the rumor cannot
be ignored, despite the. smile that may
greet the report
The reason for his retirement, if he
should lay down the portfolio. would
be his candidacy for the Republican

against the wishes of Mr.. Roosevelt.
The story that is circulated here is
that the President is already impa-
tient at the talk about Mr. Cortelyou
IN connection with the Presidency. He
is reported as feeling that Mr.. Cortel-
you should not permit gossip Of this
kind to go unchecked when the coun-
try knows that the Administrations
