FRUIT TREES NOT

SEVERE WINTER HAS NOT AT
FECTED FRUIT TREES IN
WENATCHEE VALLEY
YAKIMA SUFFERS

Local horticulturists assert that
the Wenatchee valley will be the only
section of the Northwest to escape
damage to the fruit industry because
Of the severe cold that has prevailed
during the present winter
Reports from the Yakima and
Walla Walla districts are to the effect
that thousands of trees have been
split open along the trunk of the
tree, peaches and apricots being the
principal sufferers.
An investigation of the conditions
of orchards in Chelan county resulted
in ascertaining that only one tree has
been effected by the cold, the single
case reported being up the Column
bia river number of miles. In the
Wenatchee valley Immediately
around the city no damage whatever
has been sustained, all trees having
passed the winter thus far in excel
lent condition.
A number of different growere
have been asked as to the prospects
for this years apple crop and all
unite in the prediction that, it will
be record breaker, basing their con-
clusions on the fact that the number
of buds on the trees is far in excess
of that known at this time of the
year at any time for years past.

NAH on the N. R.

Complaint is being made by peo-
pie residing between Fairmont and
Clarksburg, the Fairmont Times
says, over the poor mail facilities
given them since so few passenger
trains are being run over the NJ. r.
division.
1.-The NJ. R. had until the time the
present time table went into effect
says the Times, two accommodation
trains each way every day and
these carried mail to all the little
towns along the way. Now the
morning train from here to CIarks-
burg and the evening train from
there here are the only ones which
carry mall. The through trains
handle mail only for the terminals.
No train is now run on Sunday and
no mail reaches the little Offices or
those days.
Mail matter from here for
Clarksburg and points beyond there
are sent via Grafton after the morn
ing train leaves over the NJ. R. but
this does not help the intermediate
points. The matter of relief will
likely be taken up with the post
Office department soon
If the Baltimore & Ohio railroad
cannot provide satisfactory trans
portation of Uncle Sans mail along
the M. r. division, 1t would be a
good idea for Uncle Sam to utilize
the interurban trolley: line. A GOOD
mail service could be provided by
this method and there is mo reason
why it should not be adopted as in
terurban trolley lines in other sec
lions of the country carry United
States mail and in some cities there
are regular msdl cars on the street
railway systeR6s. If the matter is
tabs6sup wlth the postofice depart
ent the Fairmont Times init
Sn9atesS le trolley line proposition
should be given consideration.

Six persons, on their way to diu-
ner party in a gasoline launch. were
swept over dam near Russell, Pa,
yesterday and drowned. The engine
got out of whack and the launch
drifted down over the dam without
an oar to stay it. When it went
over the dam 1t was drifting broad
side and turned upside down catch
ing its passengers underneath. The
acciGens is deploraore one but it
shows gross carelessness on the part
of those in charge of the boat in not
having on board oars and life pre-
servers If they had none of the lat
ter. Carelessness comes high and
costs heavily sometimes but it seems
that some people are bound to in
dulge in it.

in advanced political guessing reads
well to the Democrats who want

the public what startling thing has
now happened to cause them to do
so. Elkins and Dawson will be

notion that they will not be thus
found.

Senator Tillman's lectures may be
great in the estimation of newspa-
pers that want to foment the people
into murderous deeds. but the Fair
mont Times did not show that it
thought even well of his lecture
there. The Times is a Democratic pa
per and partisan to the core. but it Is
too steadfast TO go chasing off after
such phantom as the self-claimed
Tillman doctrine. Some other Dem
ocratic papers would show degree
of discreetness and good sense to
emulate the Times in this respect.

| L. E. Pinkham, Esq, President of the
Board of Health, T. H.
Sir: Your esteemed favor dated the
| 18th inst is duly received and in reply
| thereof I beg to state the following
| facts of the part 1 took in the matter
relating to escape of one Kataoke, an
alleged japanese leper, from the re-
ceiving station of this city.
On the afternoon of the 9Th of this
month a certain Buddhist preacher
called upon me and stated that a
japanese by the name of Kataoke who
had been staying at HaramOto Hotel
of this city was arrested by inspectors
of the Board of Health the night be-
fore as a leper suspect and taken to
the receiving station. He, the preach
er, further stated that the mans case
was slight even if he was afflicted with
the disease, and that it was a pity
to condemn him for his life at the
Molokai Settlement, while he had re-
latives in Japan who were too glad to
take charge of him and accord him
a proper treatment. He further stated
that if I would see the president of the
Board of Health and obtain a permits
sion to help him away to Japan, he
would make arrangement with either
the captain of the Chiusa Maru or the
KusuhO Maru, both in port at the time,
to give him a berth. 1 promised to the
preacher that I would see Mr.. Pink
ham on the subject on the following
morning.
Accordingly on the morning of the
18th, mot the Sth as stated in your
letter. I called upon you and stated
the case to you as represented by the
preacher, but never told you that 1.-The
captain of the S. S. Kusuho Maru due
to sail at noon November 8, had agreed
to transport him" | am quite positive
on this, for / never saw the captain
at any time before the day of the
ships departure and that only for a
few minutes to bid him a bon-voyage,
the captain Mort being an old acquain-
lance of mine. In fact, as the captain
told me at that meeting, nobody, not
even excepting the captain himself,
had known of the day of her sail until
the very day before, when such a cable
order was received.
At this interview, you never told me
that you felt strongly in this case
because the laws of the Territory had
been disregarded and the man would
nave TO take his consequences" on
the other hand you told me that you
could not give answer at that time as
10 the proposal of the kind preacher
made to you through me in behalf of
the unfortunate japanese and upon my
pressing for the cause, you stated that
''it was beyond my power to release
kataoke,' and that the only way out
of the custody of the board was
escape" C*even citing the case of Miss
--------, a suspect, who had &C
compltshed her escape in spite of your
'diligent search afterwards'). Then
l got your permit to see Kataoke, not
only to convey the news you gave to
