PEACH TREES IN BLOOM
ORCHARDS OF VALLEY TAKE ON
BEAUTY COLOR-LIGHT FROST
WOULD KEEP.

More and unmistakeable signs of
spring are at hand. Several peach trees
in the city are in full blossom, and
some OF them have been for two days
Near Milton the trees nave been in
bloom for four or five days. In a few
more revolutions of the earth the trees
will be Towering in good shape and the
harbingers of spring will be ready for
a frost In speaking of a possible freeze
one of the fruit growers of the valley
said today:
well, l wouldn't mind a light frost.
l never saw the blossoms so heavy on
the trees and a few of them killed
would save a lot of work thinning.
However, if there is no frost, l guess
we can get the fruit thinned by hand.
Prospects at this time certainly look
good but it is little too early to pre-
dict a fruit CROP

Fairbanks, Hughes and Cannon each

the TAFT boomers have not found their
task an easy one.
The friends of Secretary Taft are
now working for an instructed delega-
ton, but are encOuntering much oppO-
sition from some of the state leaders in
this respect. Those opposing this move
assert that for generation the dele
gates from New Jersey to the republic

to change this custom.
Secretary Taft does not go to New
Jersey without considerable opposition
from some of the republican leaders
Many of the latter are tied up to other
candidates, and Secretary Taft's per

AUTO BUMPS
THE |NTERURbAN
COLLISION AT SECOND STREET
CROSSING CAUSES A LITTLE
EXCITEMENT.

That an automobile cannot compete
with an electric trolley car in some
departments Of the traction business
was demonstrated this afternoon when
the 80 h. p. Franklin belonging to J.
NJ. CraW ford tried to butt the inter
ban off the track at the Second street
crossing.
The buzz buggy, contained Mr..
Crawford, his wife, daughter and son,
the latter driving the car. The Craw-
fOrds have owned the velocity vehicle
but a few days and the lad was not
yet an expert in the chauffeur business
and instead of lodging the juice jump
er he crashed into the rear steps TAX
ing the car a little to the rear of a
center brOadside. The scurry surrey
lost an eye and the hood over the
power pu1nper was somewhat demol-
ished. No one in either electric or gas
car was hurt and beyond few repairs
to the hell hack there was nothing
doing beyond a little excitement

YOUNG BOYS UNDER ARREST.
Two Charged With Stealing WaInuts
From Book Nook,

Truman Shaubel and Carl Fry, two
lads of the ages of about II and IA,
were arrested this morning by Con-
stable Peterson and Patrolman McCau-
ley for stealing English walnuts from
the rear of the Ransom building, the
goods being the property Of the Book
Nook.
The boys say the nuts were scat
tered over the ground and were all
rotten and wormy. A man with a
wheelbarrow was carting them away
and they thought they might as we'll
have their share. Both disclaimed any
intent of wrongdoing and said they
thought the walnuts were no good and
had been thrown away.
With the Fry boy was brought in
half a sack of the plumber. The nuts
had been left out in moving from the
Book Nook to the corner by the Walla
Walla Stationery company and had not
yet been taken into the new store.
They were locked up in the county
Jail and had their hearing this after
noon.
Melville Knox, a young man about 90
years of age, was arrested later on
the same charge. Another is said to
be implicated but up to o'clock had
