TRIAL. At MILTON
HUNDREDS OF WITNESSES TESTI-
FY IN CASE TAKEN UP
YESTERDAY.

suits. Involving riparian and water
rights along the Walla WalIa river was
begun at Milton yesterday when the
case OF the little Walla Walla River
Union versus the FiniS Irrigation Union

one of the most stubbOrnly fought of
any Of the big water suits tried in that
vicinity in years.
The Walla Walla River Union is en-
GeaVorinS to check settlers and the
Finis Union, from taking water from
the Walla Waila river above the Wal
Ia Wal!a Unions ditch. the claim be-
ing set forth that the Walla Walla
Union is entitled to the water by prior
rights. There are several hundred de-
PENDANTS to the suit, being the hun
dreds of settlers residing along the
Ndlla " ana river above the plaintiff
irrigation ditch.
Though the first and second suits are
entirely separate actions, yet much Jf
the testimony is identical and in the
present case much of the testimony
taken III the first trial will be used
again.
The court is holding the sessions at
Milton for the convenience of the de-
PENDANTS as there are about $50 in the
second suit. For the most part the tes-
timOny OF each defendant will be brief
and by holding the session there they

CI.ARkSTON. March 31.-Saturday
night i number of fruit growers turned
out about 2 or o'clock and started
THEN smudges, and kept them going un-
til morning. While there would prob
ably have been no damage from frost,
vet it would have been a pretty close
call for the almonds and apricots, but
the work done demonstrated the fact
that smudges will be a great help to-
wards protecting the fruit. While there
were probably not over 20 per cent OF
the growers started their smudges, the
whole valley was covered with pref
tv good blanket of smoke. In talking
with the different fruit men it is found
that practically all of them are ready
to smudge if it should be necessary TO
protect the peaches or cherries. as
these fruits are the principal crops.
