GUS Losses to 0rchardists.
MAY SOON OVERCOME TROUBLE

There have been great many
complaints heard from owners of or
chards that depend upon the Grand
junction and Clifton end of the stub
ditch for water. and, from all reports,
as a result of the failure to have wat
er for days and days at a time. owing
to the recent accident to the pumping
plant. many orchards. especially the
young orchards, have suffered very
seriously. indeed. 1t is reported that
hundreds of newly-set trees and trees
of one or two years planting will die
as result of the shortage of water.
A few days ago water was turned
into the stub ditch in sufficient guam
titles to reach the many orchardists
at the lower portions of the ditch for
the first time in several weeks; but
it was impossible to keep the water
flowing long. and soon the orchard
lists at this end of the ditch We're
without water again.
At a number of young orchards of
large size heroic methods have been
employed to keep the trees from dy-
ing Water has been hauled daily in
tanks and poured on the trees; but.
in spite of this. the damage, from all
accounts. has been heavy.
Every day inquiries have been
| made in this city as to when the
water will be running again in the
stub ditch. Orchardists vitality in
terested have made trips to the up
per valley to learn the true status of
the situation.
| Today one of the pumns is in op-
GRAFTON at the plant and the water is
| flowing in pretty good quantities.
Occasionally during the past o days
water has been turned in for brief
periods and some relief has been af-
1 forded but n number of orchardists
stated today tnat they must have
water from now on constantly or
they Will lose very heavily
There is every reason to believe
that the men in charge of the plant
and the board of directors have done
everything in their power to keep
the water flowing and the series of
unfortunate and untimely accidents
are as deeply regretted by the ditch
management as by the orchardists
who have suffered the greatest The
repair work has been rushed rapidly
and under the best of management.
II is hoped to have the water NOV

The second of the series of trials

ended in a failure and not single
conviction has yet been secured in
any of the cases save in the case of
G. A Wilson, charged with gambling,

most unusual action was taken
by the jury of twelve men that heard
the evidence in tie case tried yester-
day wherein five defendants. Two

mildly scored by Judge Sullivan this
morning and all members of the jury
were excused from the venire and
will not be called for any further
service at this term of court.
The jury dispersed during the early
morning hours without reaching an
agreement and without having the
permission of the court
1t was late yesterday afternoon, in
fact 1t was well on toward evening
when the case went to the jury.
At 10 O'Clock no verdict had been
reached and from all reports the
