EIgln without LIght ana Power

The city Of Elgin is without water,
light and power. The high water of
Indian creek caused break in the
pipe line, and as this line furnished
the city water and the power for the
lighting plant, also power for some of
the planning mills and FIGURING mill, 1t
caused CONSERVATION for a little while.
It is expected to have the break re-
paired by this evening SO things will
be normal again.--La Grande observ-

is filled with engines, as the only de-
mand for locomotives is the east-end
passenger service, and the work trains
which are at Aliens spur today with

The English Walnut.

boom which struck the Coast states
ten to fifteen years ago has never
ceased to grow and now, regardless
of soil. climate and varieties they
are being planted extensively in all
parts Of the state of Washington
The English walnut is not perfectly
hardy in all sections of the state,
however, latter the roots become we'll
established even though the top may
freeze back for few years, it may
be successfully grown as a shade and
ornamental tree.
The best soil for walnuts is a we'll
drained, deep, porus soil with a
northeast exposure; however, it is
doing we'll on deep soils with south
e:n exposures or on flat areas. Since
it is deep rooter and heavy feeder,
there must be no hardpan near the
s, race or the growth will be slow
and unsatisfactory.
The walnut should not be plant
ed c. s II than thirty feet apart each
way and in many places it would
advantageous to have them even
forty feet apart. They may be adj
vantageously planted among the
orchard fruits and as the nut tree
requires more room the fruit trees
could be removed. In Western
Washington small fruit is an excel
lent filler for the walnut grove.
Since these trees are pruned much
higher than the common fruit trees
and no spraying*is necessary, it is
possible to grow small fruit closer
to the nut trees and for a longer
period of time than with fruit trees
One year-old budded or grated
trees should be secured if possible,
but since it is 80 difficult to propa-
gate the walnut in any way except
by planting seed, we are almost
compelled to plant seedlings. When
ever possible secure the nuts seed
lings from grated trees of known
varieties. These are known as
FIRST generation" stock and are
as a rule reliable and good yielders.
If the first generation stock
are not obtainable, the next best
stock will be the second genera
ton" trees: Many of the old grow
ers prefer the second growth"
trees to any other on the market
and claim them to be better pro-
ducers and more even in all wsys
than any other stock; however,
they do not go beyond the second
gencration"'o or the size and quality
of the nut is very apt to be variable
ane unsatisfactory.
The most satisfactory varieties
for the grower to plant are the May
cite and Franuqette, either or both
are satisfactory wherever nuts can
be- grown. Their hardness and
late blooming make them much
surer troopers than most common
sorts.
Plant carefully and sparingly in
the untried districts until you know
your soil and climatic conditions.
