TO PROTECT YOUNG BUDS.
Yakima orchardists Preparing to Save
Fruit Crop.

While 1t Is true that the buds on the
fruit trees are somewhat advanced
for this time OF the year. the ma
jority of the orchardists are not
worrying very much about possible
danger from late frosts, says the
Yakima Republic.
Those who believe that harm may
result are making preparations 30 as
to be In a position to "smudge" when
the late frosts come. Little piles
made of green twlgs--often the re-
suits of the pruning knife-are to be
seen In many of the orchards and
these win make the smoke required
10 keep the frost off the trees.
With the advanced price of or
chards and orchard lands and the rec
ognItlon of the big profits which can
be made on fruit and vegetables the
best methods OF protection from late
frosts are being discussed to n con.
siderable extent hereabouts. and some
inquiries are being made regarding
the preparations of pitch which are
used extensively In the vineyards Of
Europe and California,
This preparation makes a dense
smoke which. hanging low over the
ground, is an absolute protection to
the vineyards or fruit trees when King
Frost makes an attack. 1t Ii not
known here whether the pitch prep
arations can be obtained at any scar
by point or whether the price is rea-
sonable.
Some of the orchardists consider
that while the trees are budding early
there Is no particular cause for anxi-
ETY. as the ground is still well frozen
and there is likely to be another cold
spell in the near future. following the
winter weather which is now reported
in the east and middle west.

WAGON ROAD TO LUMBER BELT
Forty Miles of Road VIII Be Built Up
North Fork of CIearwater.

The Tribune secured the informa-
ton yesterday that plans have been
formulated and that definite an
nouncement will be made relative to
a campaign that Is to be inaugural
ed for the construction Of so miles OF
wagon road up the North Fork of
the Clearwater river from Ahsahka,
the road to penetrate the great tim
ber belt. Much investigation of the
subject has already been made by in
fluential parties, who are definitely
back of the move, says the Lewiston
Tribune.
The plan is to have the highway
built Jointly by the county and state
donations, supplemented by subscrip-
tions from the Weyerhauser. and
Schofield timber syndlcates. 1t has
been learned the timber companies
have already announced their will
iQgness to join the movement and are
giving active support to the project.
The road would reach the greatest
stand of white pine in the world and
would be In the permanent plan but

tenn of highways, reaching all parts
of the immense timber belt, There
are hundreds of claims in the region
held by individuals, also. that are not
now accessible except by trail dur
ing favorable seasons, while at 9TH
er seasons the country cannot be en-
tered at all. The timber belt is
classed by many as being Idaho's
greatest source of dormant wealth.
From the proposed highway, connec-
tion will be made with Bruce's Eddy.
above Ahsahka, with the road to
Oroflno, and all the country between
the North Fork and Oroflno will thus
be served
In the plan to be adopted the in
terest of all the communities of this
section will be solicited on the ground
that the opening of such highway
will be of benefit to all. No estimates
as to te cost of the highway have
yet been prepared. but this data It is
understood will be gathered during
the present month.

There are SIS national banks in the
state and these, with the Ill state and
private banks reporting December 5,
show individual deposits aggregating

banks amounted to $20,s50, ,S5S.SS. so
that with the state banks there were

The national banks had $s,630,257.S2
in securities and bonds, not includI
ing United States bonds to secure cir
culation, deposits, premiums, per
cent redemption fund and due from
the United States treasurer.
Compared with the statement OF
August %, the state and private
banks show a big increase in cash on
hand, exchanges for clearing house,
real estate, banking premises and fix
lures, and reduction in overdrafts.
The statistics compiled by State
Bank Examiner Steel are voluntary
on the part of the state and private
banks, as the law compelling them
to make the statements is not yet In
effect. 1t viii be noted that only a
few refused to supply the data re-
Quested. for Steel can only request
at present and not demand the re-
ports.
In the statement of August and De-
cember the period before and during
the financial stringency is covered,
yet the December report of the state
and private banks shows a healthy
condition and the banks are in excel
lent condition. The December report
discloses a withdrawal of $4,000, 200
individual deposits, divided among
Ill banks, making an average with
drawal Of but $4,000 for each insti-
tuition. This is better record than
that made by the national banks. OF
which there are SIS and they ran off
$6,000.000, or an average Of s10S,000.

crowd started out to rescue them. We
found them huddled in doorways and
by the sides of buildings The child
rem caught hold of the ropes and were
led to shelter by their rescuers, whose
sense of direction gradually returned
to them. Every one OF the 900 school
children in the town was got home
in safety.
But seven school teachers were
frozen to death in the country during
the blizzard and thousands of cattle
died. The thermometer fell from
about the freezing point at noon to 20

FORBIDDEN MESSAGES.

1t seems strange that even now
there are many restrictions on the
use of as ordinary a thing as a cable
or telegraph wire. Yet it is true that
nobody is permitted to send to or
through Portugal anything having to
do with the deeds or thoughts of an
archists and that code messages Of
any kind are forbidden in Tripoli,
Bosnia, Ronmelia, Roumania. Herze-
goyina, Bulgaria and other Balkan
states.
After that 1t seems unnecessary to
mention that Turkey forbids code
messages, but it is a little surprising
to find that you can send a message
to most parts Of Persia In only one
language-that is French and If
you address most places In the land
Of the shah your message will be

La GRANDEs NEW REGISTER.
First Mormon Federal Official in Or
egon Now In Land Office.

A letter from La Grande in the
Oregon Daily Journal says of Frank
C. Bramwell, the new register of the
La Grande land office:
The first member of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, or
Mormons, ever to be appointed to a
federal office in Oregon is Frank c.
Bramwell deputy county clerk of
Union county. who was recently con-
frmed by the United States senate
as register of the United States land
office at La Grande.
Mr.. Bramwell was born at Plaine
City, Utah. December 21, 1881, and
has been reared in the Mormon
church. His father, F. S. Bramwell,
was one of the most prominent mem
bers of that church in eastern oregon.
Mr.. BramwelI came with his parents
to Baker City in 1899 and in 1900 he
came to La Grande, where he has
since resided. He is reputed to be
one of the most competent men ever
employed in the county clerks office
of Union county He Is married and
has two children.
The appointment of Mr.. Bramwell
Is the first political recognition of
the power of the Mormon church in
Oregon and has special significance
for this reason. The Mormon vote
of Union county is about 900, and
that Of Baker county about 1000, and
while the church claims it is indepen-
dent in politics, yet there is COM
munity of sentiment which brings the
voters close together in all political
campaigns.
Aside from his being a member Of
the Mormon church, there is nothing
unusual about the appointment Of
Mr.. Bramwell as he is considered
perfectly well qualified, capable, sober
and industrious and leads quiet, un-
ostentatious home life. He does not
believe in polygamy, but is a Jealous
member of the La Grande "stage" of
the Mormon church.
Had he not been appointed to this
position he could have been elected
county clerk of Union county at the
election in June, it is believed. He is
we'll liked by the members Of his
church and the community in gener-
al, and 1t Is the sentiment Of all who
know him that he will make popu-
lar and capable federal official.
