Lewiston--Despite the early reports
of frost damage to the fruit, the Lew
iston valley will harvest one of the
most profitable crops in its history this
season. In many sections the peaches,
apricots and cherries were materially
injured by the severe cold weather and
late frosts but the output of the Lewis
ton valley will not fall far short of an
average crop and the damage to other
sections will result in fancy prices for
the fruit produced here. The Clarks-
ton Fruitgrowers' association is now
closing contracts for strawberries at
81 per crate; and negotiations are
pending for the sale Of the cherry and
peach crops at fancy prices. The en-
tire fruit product of the Charleston sec
tion is handled through the association
and because of the bulk Of the product
available, better price has been Sc
cured.
Sections of the fruit district immed-
lately tributary to the city are entirely
free from frost damage, while in the
Charleston tract, the damage by frost is
confined to particular localities. In
some cases the peach, apricot and
sweet cherry crop has been practically
destroyed, while within one-fourth mile
of such orchards, the growers will be
compelled to thin all these varieties
before the fruit is matured.
The growers of the Lewiston valley
enjoy their greatest profits when the
winters and springs have been most
severe. Overproduction of the perish
able fruits when all sections enjoy a
full crop forces the market to bedrock
prices, where the grower is compelled
to sell his product at practically cost.

Boise-The late spring means floods
in southern Idaho to pioneers. Last
winter the snowfall was heavier thar
usual. People in the south Idaho
mountains say the fall was thirc
heavier than for many years past
Comparatively little of this snow has
melted. The few days of warm weather
in the mountains packed it. 1t has
been cold in this end of the state arc
especially on the watersheds of the
Snake, the Payette, the Weiser, Boise
and other tributaries of the Columbia
river. Hot weather will take the
snowbanks down with a rush and the
streams will be filled. Rivers are high
already, due to heavy rains, accom-
panied at some points by cloudbursts.
At Lenns Ferry 200 feet of track were
washed out, delaying trains from IL tt

Latest Con.umption Cure.

British and American physicians and
students of tuberculosis are much
interested In the claim authoritatively
made in London concerning the sue
cess Of new treatment for tubercu-
losis discovered by William Doig. a
layman. The nature OF the treatment
Is poultice containing acite and chlo
ride to be placed on the body near
the affected membrane or bone. In
rbout week an ulcer is formed. con.
nected by what is called a ray of In.
hammation with the diseased organ.
This forms duct through which the

to be carefully dressed twice a day
With certain salve. The cure of the
diseased lungs is said to be effected
In from four to six months.

There Is No Problem in Getting Rid
of the Fly-Only a Task.
There will be no harm in hoping
that Kansas City man who says he
has made a fly trap capable of catch
ing 10000 flies an hour has not been
led by the customary enthusiasm Of
an inventor to overestimate its capaci-
ty 1t may have some utilitarian
value in certain cases. However, says
the Dallas News, we cannot generate
much belief in the idea that the fly
problem Is going to be solved by In
ventive genius. Indeed, it may be
questioned If the problem is sufficient
ly complex to deserve the attention of
inventive genius. The problem Is
merely, the task Of keeping clean and
that Is hardly problem at all. 1t is
merely task, and not so much of
task as most Of us imagine. A rake,
broom, screened vessel and little
lime or kerosene are the implements
of Its solution. These used with
little regularity and there are not apt
to be enough flies about the place to
engage this machine for fifteen min
utes in the day. OF course, we cannot
maintain that degree Of cleanliness
which, in theory at least, would cause
the starvation of all flies; but we oan
very easily maintain a degree of
cleanliness that will clip all but
small fraction Of the danger we are
now under. 1t is in the filth heap or
other fetid places that the fly gets its
power for harm; and no matter how
efficient this new fly trap may prove
itself, 1t will never command a high
price among people who practice clean
illness elsewhere than In the bathtub

A house not built by mortals.
In summer days is mine:
Wide open stand its portals
All sweet with flower and vine.

Each airy hall and room,
And welcome ever gracious
Breathes from its walls of bloom.
I've music made by fountains,
BY brooks and birds and gales;

Frescoes on every ceiling
Painted by Morn and Night,
And every niche revealing
Some treasure of delight.

And jars heaped full of honey
And cups of fragrant gold.
Many a leafy pennant
Above my slumber streams!

"Roses red and violets blue" she
quoted. Can you tell me the rest
of it?"
"If you love me as l love you,' "
he hesitated. you mustn't make me
say such things"
"Why not?"
Because, l have nothing to offer

YALE ROWING POLICY CHANGED
Easter Week Training is Solved by
Pennsylvania Game.

OAmts
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Feb. Smoothing
mas changed Yale's rowing policy more in
recent years than the arrangement of a
race with the University of Pennsylvania.
and the change may be permanent. In case
the race is made an annual affair the
question Of Yale's Easter week training
will be solved and a fine preliminary con-
test to the Harvard regatta will be as
sured.
There are Yale men who think that the
program outlined under the present ar
rangement Is ideal. Yale has had nothing
but high winds and rough water at home in
her annual Easter recess rowing, and the
coaches and directors have realized con-
sistently that there was little to be gained
from a stay here to train during that
week.
This year the fortnight's vacation gave
a chance for a change, and the crew will
not only get a two-mile race with the
Quakers, but will have a ten-day training
spell on the Schuylkill, where the weather
is a fortnight ahead of that in New Haven
as far as the earliness of the season is
concerned.
A thorough canvass OF the university has
been made to get out every promising
candidate. For the first time In many
years more than 100 were registered. There
are not accommodations for this number.
even on the rowing machines in the gym
nasium. and not more than sixty of the
varsity can be taken to the harbor. The
reduction of candidates has been already
begun.
Captain Howe OF Yale crew saws;
The greatest athletic need that Yale
has today is new and adequate equipment
In this department OF athletics. I am not
looking at the question solely in the light
OF producing a winning crew, although
there is no doubt that, unless something
is done, Yale is going to be more and more
handicapped in competition with other
institutions with better equipment. 1 do,
however, want TO let the alumni know
what a good effect a house large enough
to accommodate as many men as care To
take the training would have on the physi-
cal development of men at YALE
