Will Be No Flood.

The upper Columbia is rising al
every point from which data is re-
ceived by the weather bureau, says
The Dalles Chronicle. Except at Lew
iston. the Snake is also rising at the
various towns. However, there have
been none of those phenomenal rises
and but little fear is felt of an excep-
tional flood this season. In fact the
best information at hand indicates
that the annual rise OF the Columbia
will be below the average unless there
should be a protracted period Of warm
weather. 1t is explained that the
snow in the mountains is not suffi-
Client to make much OF flood unless
II should all be melted in the course
Of about two weeks
Mr.. Brooks, the local forecaster,
does not believe the river will get
much higher than 1t is at present as
1t is rising so slowly and the weather
keeps cool.

Spray for Moths.

Second spraying for Goblin moth
should be done around Walla Walla
May 29 and around Milton and Free
water May 2S. according to r. e.
Trumble, the w. S. C. expert who is
spraying the orchards in the Walla
Walla valley this year, says the States
man. This announcement gives the
farmers a weeks notice and they can
prepare.
Mr.. 'Trumble says that OF 100 or
chards sprayed this year he has failed
to find a living San Jose scale and he
believes that this pest is well under
control.
Mr.. Trumble owns an orchard on
the state line and is conducting a Sc
ries OF experiments to determine II one
spraying year, properly done, will
not be sufficient for the Goblin moth.

ENGLISH RURAL ROADS.
Increased Cost of Maintenance and the
Causes Thereof.

The following information concern
ing the increased cost Of the mainte-
nance OF English roads in recent years,
out of all proportion to the increase
of population. etc, is furnished by
Consul Frank W. Mahin, of Noting
ham:
The causes OF the increase In cost OF
maintenance of rural English roads
are two: The changes in the charac-
ter of vehicular traffic and the enor-
nous increase of the traffic. On the
Nottinghamshire roads, 1t is official
ly stated there are 10 vehicles now
where there was one 10 years ago.
Central counties like this seem to be
the worst sufferers in this regard, for
they catch outside travel from every
point of the compass. An official rec
ord indicates that about four-fifths OF
the automobiles traversing the main
roads of this county are from other
counties.
The average cost per mile OF MAIN
tanning the Nottingham county roads
was $275 in 1891, $276 in 1901, and
S322 in 1907. Thus, while the cost in
creased but 81 in 10 years under for
mer traffic conditions. It increased SAC,
or II per cent, in six years under the
present conditions.
Reports regarding some other coun-
ties show much higher cost and a
greater rate of increase than In Not
during the past few
years. The cost of maintaining all the
roads in Hampshire Is said to have
risen in 10 years from $4,000 to
sS16,000. The foregoing figures are
but they purport to be
derived from official records. The
total cost of maintaining the rural
roads In this county last year was
100000, an increase of about II per
cent during the past decade. The In
creased cost of road maintenance for
all England since 1900, is stated to be
about 20 per cent per mile per annum.
A most vexing problem for road Of
ficials is what kind of road to make. !
Ordinary macadam is disrupted by the F,
suction of automobiles and the heavy |
weight of traction vehicles. but Is
claimed by many drivers to be the best
kind for horse traffic Smooth COM !,
position roads seem durable for motor
vehicles, but are objected to by many
horse drivers as slippery and danger
ous. At present no kind of road ap-
pears satisfactory to both elements,
,ut experiments are being made in this
county which It is hoped will eventual
Y result in satisfying the reasonable
of every kind of traffic.

Should Thin Apples ON Trees.

Fruit Inspector Joe Brown calls the
attention OF the orchardlsts to the fact
that now is the time to thin the fruit
on the apple trees, says the Yakima
Republic.
One reason why this is the best
time is that the young furit can be
removed readily, leaving the stem on
the fruit spur, which should be done
by all means. Another reason is that
the work can now be done much
cheaper than later. Again, IL the sur
plus fruit is removed at once, the
growth that would go into It will go
into other fruit that is expected to ma
ture and will benefit 1t that much.
The old method Of thinning was
wrong, Mr.. Brown says, and did much
injury to the trees.

League Team Assured.

AS proof of the fact that Walla
Walla baseball fans will be presented
with first-class exhibitions of. the ma
tional game this summer, the commit
tee appointed Monday night to raise
funds for support of league team In
Walla Walla, report that 1907 was
raised by them yesterday In about two
hours, says the Evening Bulletin. This
is more than half OF the amount need
ed for the support Of the team, and
the committee is out today securing
the balance.
The committee appointed is as fol-
lows: T. s. scally, August Bade, Jas.
Dacres and Harry Kimmerly, James
Dacres has been appointed treasurer
of the local league. Tickets were to-
day sent to the players signed up, and
they are expected to arrive in Walla
walla tomorrow or Friday. Practice
will commence Immediately, and the
first game will be played Sunday with
Pendleton.
The grounds at the race track will
be used by the league, the games all
being held at that place.

Auto Races in Union.

The elements changed their tactics
over Union county at the opportune
moment, says the La Grande Observ-
er. The burst of sunshine put new
life into the Automobile day commit
tee, and announced that there will be
no postponement OF the big buzz-buzz
machine today.
Members of the committee are In
Union today working up enthusiasm
in that section, and telephone and
personal letters will be resorted to
literally from now on with the result
that many county machines will enter
both parade and races.
The effort to have fast machines
from out the county will be carried on
without ceasing.
The committee will meet in the
near future to set the races and ar
range the schedule. This card will
care for many various distances with
various cars and will undoubtedly
prove a strong drawing card.

HUNGARY's SCARCITY OF COAL

The British Consul at Budapest as
cribes the recent scarcity Of coal in Hun
gary to two causes-First, to the deficient
exploitation of coal mines, chiefly owing
to the lack of workmen aud secondly,
to the inadequacy of the arrangements
for the transports of the coal, defect
which makes itself felt throughout the
whole country. Meanwhile it is esti-
mated that about 100000 metric tons Of
Cardiff coal had, last year, to be i'm
ported at high prices into the country,
while Hungarian coal mines were left
in part not worked, and thus deprived
of the profits which would have accrued
to them had they been able to supply
the quantity of coal required.

RETTEW BONDsMEN

Because L. Scott Townsend and ]. Dar-
lington Smith, auditors, have not yet as
certained the amount of Horace G. Ret
teW's defalcation, the Levy Court Tues
day morning allowed the bondsmen of
Rettew until next Tuesday to settle the
account. .~-- -~
Robert L. Richards, William I. Lyman
and George 7. Brown counsel for several
OF the Rettew sureties, informed the court
that the auditors were working on the
books OF the former county tax collector
but had not ascertained the amount of bis
shortage. In view of these circumstances
they asked that the sureties be given an
other week in which to settle the defal-
cation. This was done. Meanwhile all
litigation growing out OF the defaIcation
will be withheld. 1t was said Tuesday
the sureties would be required to pay the
county at least $4,000. The balance OF
$4,000 will likely be allowed as errors.
