1t is reliably reported that the
Chicago-Douglas Development COM
pany, owning large tract of land
near Rock Island, has purchased the
Geo. A. Virtue holdings at the head
of the Moses Coulee. This is known
as the Moses Coulee Fruit Land COM
pany, and included In the holdings
are several hundred acres of young
and old orchards, grazing and wheat
land, about 400 acres in all. The
Moses Coulee Fruit Lands company
was originally organized in this city,
r. F. Holm and L. V. Wells being
the promoters. The company took
over three of the old places, having
control of the major portion of the
water from Douglas creek. Mr.. Vir-
tue later purchased the interests of
the Wenatchee people. Considerable
of the land has been sold off in small
tracts, under the plan of planting
and caring for the orchard for five
years.
1t is said that the Chicago COM
pany contemplates purchasing as
much of the Coulee land as possible
and after putting it under water and
developing it will put it on the mar
ket again.

BEE CULTURE Lee
TURE TONIGHT
j. A. WOMAN, OF SPOKANE, WILL
BE HERE TO TALK ON SUBJECT
OF INTEREST TO FRUIT GROW
ERS.

J. A. Yeoman, assistant cashier
of the Old National bank of Spokane
and an authority on bee culture, ar
rived here on No. 1 today and will
give lecture on bee culture at the
Commercial Club rooms tonight

that the culture of bees is a great
aid to orcharding inasmuch as the
bees assist very materially in the
pollinization of the different varie-
ties. The lecture is free and it is
desired to get as large an audience
for Mr.. Yeoman as possible.

BIC PRICE FOR FRUIT IS ASSURED

we now believe that we will have
about 1900 cars of fruit in the
Grand Valley district, from Fruita
to Palisade"
Iowa Damaged.
Des Moines, Iowa, April 27.-By
tomorrow morning every vestige of
the fruit crop which escaped the last
killing frost of week ago will be
wiped out, according to nurserymen
and fruit growers all over Iowa:
Freezing weather struck the state
last night and has continued
throughout the day, accompanied by
snow flurries in many sections.
Clear and freezing weather is pre-
dicted again for tonight and tomor-
row.
Estimates of the loss differ. MUIR
serymen declare that all the fruit
with the exception of strawberries
and grapes, and possibly blackber-
ries and raspberries in the more pro-
tected localities, is entirely ruined.
They place the loss at $8,000,000.
Wesley Green, secretary of the state
horticultural department, still be-
lieves that the loss to the apple.
cherry and plum crop will not be as
great as generally thought. He be-
ieves there will be yet quarter of
a crop and perhaps third of crop.
Garden stuff all over the state is
a total loss, but as it is early gar
deners will replant and there is every
assurance that there will be a nor
NAL yield Gardens were three to
four weeks earlier than usual.
Much fear is expressed by grain
men over the state as to the small
grain. DR.. George M. Chapel, di-
rector of the Iowa weather and crop
service, however, feels no concern.
He says that the oats, while nipped
down to the ground by the freezing
weather, will come up again and that
the ultimate yield will not be mater
tally affected DR.. Chapel believes
that the later varieties of apples are
safe. He says it is impossible to get
a total failure of the fruit crop. He
estimates there will be fifth of a
crop of apples, cherries and plums.
Fruit in Missouri Total Loss.
Columbia, No., April 27.-J. c..
Written, in charge of the horticul-
tural experiment station at the Uni
versity of Missouri, said tonight that
reports from all sections of Missouri
show that the fruit crop is total
loss because of the cold weather.
Wheat and oats have been in
jured, according to T. G. Wilson,
secretary of the state board of agri-
culture. Corn will all be replanted,
he says, the wet weather having
caused it to rot.

MOSES COU[EE LANDS
Virtue Holdings Said Ito Have Passed
to Chicago-Douglas Development Co.
alta Fancy Figure--New Owners Have
Big Irrigation Project in Prospect

It is rumored that the recent visit
of the officers of the company in
this region was not only for the pur-
pose of looking over their own hold
ings but was also for the purpose
of investigating the holdings of the
Moses Coulee Fruit Land company
and the other holdings of the region,
and the possibility of irrigating a
large portion of the tract.
The Chicago-Douglas Development
company already holds over $4,000
acres of land in this region and, to-
gether with the Moses Coulee Fruit
Land company, holds practically all
of the water rights of the upper
coulee. Should the development COM
pany get control of the valley, it
will have about $4,000 acres, of
which $500 may be irrigated and
turned inAo fruit land. The remain
der will be- used for growing wheat.
The officers of the company are:
President, RI S. Bentley of Chicago:
vice president James E. Keane of
Rock Island; ! treasurer, John H,
Grace of ChicagN secretary, William
Fitzgerald of Chhago; assistant Sec

Raised Funds for Building.

Not only was the ninety-first an
niversary of the organization of the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows
celebrated in this city yesterday, but
the balance of the $1,000 building
fund was pledged by the members.
The plan is to borrow $4,000 to

ing
The first and second floors will
be used for rental purposes ana the
third floor will be used for lodge
purposes. The plan is to make the
building handsome in all its equip
ment. The members of the lodge
feel very much rejoiced at the rails
ing of $1,000 among the local mem

To TEST LAND FOR
WATER SCHEME
IRRIGATION MANAGER JAYNE
AND SETTLERS TO INVESTI-
GATE IRRIGATION CONDITIONS
THIS SEASON,

Quincy, Wash, April 27.-Irriga-
ton Manager S. o. Jayne of the
United States department of agricul-
ture has been in Quincy this week
making arrangements for irrigation
Investigations to be conducted during
the present season. A number of
pumping plants have been installed
and thorough test will be made to
demonstrate the possibilities of irri-
eating orchards by lifting the water
from wells which afford an abundant
supply. Mr.. Jayne said:
"Of the plants so far installed that
of F. B. Kiegley is the largest. He
has an eight-inch we'll and a 90
horsepower engine, capable Of pump
ing about $50 gallons a minute.
There will be probably so acres fr-
rigated this year from this we'll.
Information as to the cost of
operating such plants, and the am
cunt of water necessary to apply to
properly develop and mature a mar
ketable crop of fruit under local con-
ditions, is much in demand. With
view to supplying reliable data
along this line, / am arranging at
Mr.. Kiegley's place to make meas
urements of the water pumped, cost
of pumping and the amount required
by the orchard during the season.
Records will also be kept of work
done and results obtained by sew
eral other smaller plants.
There are several small orchards
of bearing age near Quincy and the
prospects this year are favorable for
a good crop. These trees have not.
as rule, received care, but in spite
of their neglect they have struggled
along to bearing age without irriga-
ton. From observing them during
the last few years am led to be-
lieve that excellent fruit can be
grown around Quincy and that or
charding may be made profitable by
irrigating from wells.
1T will be necessary. however, to
use the water with all possible econ
omy, and conserve it by a thorough
system OF mulching with either dust
or other materials to reduce the
heavy evaporation loss"

meeting the water committee of the
council will be present and it is also
expected to have present Assessor o.
born for the purpose of showing that
the taxes of residents in the city are
but little higher than suburban resi-
dents.
The lighting committee reported
favorably on the application for an
arc light on the corner of Douglas
and Washington.
The water committee also reported
on the location Of watering troughs
both on North and South Wenatchee
avenue
The ordinances approving the as
sessment rolls and subsewer 4, 6 and
were passed.
81 Typewriter Pages Building Or1i-
nance Adopted.
Fighting valiantly from the begin
ming till the close of the final reading
of the 81 typewriter page building
ordinance, Fire Chief Throw insisted
on every provision of the ordinance
that would lessen the possibility of
a spread of a confiagration within the
city fire limits. The use of combust-
ible building material is prohibited
as much as possible by the newly
adopted law, and all new buildings,
alterations and repairs within the
fire limits are subject to the inspec-
ton and approval of the city inspect
or. The new law is almost copy Of
the building ordinances adopted and
enforced in many other cities for the
protection and security of life and
property against the careless con-
struction of buildings out of material
that would burn easily and endanger
whole communities. All of the coun-
cilmen present at the time of the
calling of the roll voted in favor of
the final passage of the ordinance.

ROOSEVELT MAY
SUCCEED DEPEW

Washington, April 27.-Roosevelt
for United States senator as success
or to Depew-this the way politi-
cal prophets in Washington have the
situation in New York state figured
out today They arrived at this con-
clusion from many different view
points and the concensus of opinion
is that the suggestion offers a solu.
ton to multitude of problems con-
fronting the republican party, not
only in the Empire state but in the
nation at large.
In the general discussions Of the
situation growing out of the appoint
ment of Hughes to the supreme
bench it already has been agreed
that his retirement from politics
leaves Roosevelt as the probable die
tator of the party in New York
state.
Party leaders at Washington real
ize this and they believe Roosevelt
will come to realize the same thing,
viz, that the exigencies in New York
demand a strong factor in the race
this fall if republicans are to gain
success at the polls. With Roose-
welt as candidate for the senate, it
is predicted that the republican
party would easily retain control of
the legislature and that Roosevelt
personality in the campaign would
bring success to the entire state
ticket.

ANTETYING ORDINANCE
ON AVENUE IS VOID
No Ordinance Governing Provisions
Water Committee Will Hold Meeting
With Non-Residents of Walla Walla
Avenue on Saturday Night

The anti-tying ordinance which has
caused SO much discussion during the
past several weeks fizzled out last
night in the city law governing body.
The members of the council had an
idea that there was an ordinance al
ready on the books under which it
was possible to prohibit teams from
being tied on the avenue. City At
torney Crollard, however, discovered
that this was not the case. The mat
ter was brought to the attention of
the council last night and an effort
was made to instruct the attorney to
prepare such an ordinance. Council
men Lemon and Halbert wanted the
ordinance to include a provision by
which autos should not be left stand
ing on the avenue. On a vote this
provision was defeated, then the ORR
ginal motion was put to vote and
it was also defeated, so after several
weeks of talk and brief enforce
ment the tying ordinance has gone
glimmering.
w. A. Thompson appeared before
the council and vigorously protested
against the passage or enforcement
of any ordinance of this character
Water by Annexation Only.
F. B. Utter and H. Homer ap-
peared before the council asking for
city water for Walla Walla avenue.
The members of the council seemed
to be set in the opinion that no water
shall be furnished to non-residents by
the city. Both Mr.. Utter and Mr..
Homer seemed to be of the opinion
that it would be impossible to secure
sufficient vote to carry annexation OF
that territory, but a meeting is to be
held at the home of Mr.. Utter Satur-
day evening in which the residents
of Walla Walla, North Wenatchee
and Pierce streets are invited. At this

The fruit situation has changed
very radically in the past few days
and growers and dealers alike feel
satisfied that prices in this valley
are again going to rule very high.
The disastrous freezes through the
central states has assured the grow
ers here that there will be a live
ly bidding again this fall for the ap-
pies, peaches and other fruits grown
here.
1t is hard to fully appreciate the
extent of the calamity that has ruin
ed the crops of the east. especially
when the weather conditions have
been so favorable to the growing Of
fruit in this valley.
A severe blizzard, followed by a
cold wave that has made new rec
ords in many places for the middle
of April, has done heavy damage in
13 states of the middle west. Crops
have suffered heavily. The loss in
various states is estimated today as
follows:
Michigan, $10,O00,OO0.
Illinois, 100000.
Indiana, $5,O00,000.
Iowa, sS,000,O00.
Ohio, 100000.
Tennessee, $1,000,000.
Minnesota and northwest, $1,000
600.
Wisconsin, $3,000,000.
Nebraska, s2,000,OO0.
Kansas, s5,000,000
Missouri, Kentucky, Arkansas,
100000.
The cold which came with Satur-
days mid-spring blizzard continues
today. Dispatches from various
places in the middle west indicate
that the damage done to crops of
all descriptions will reach a total of
50,O00,000.
Loss in Colorado.
Original estimates of 5000 cars
of fruit from the Grand Valley dis
trict of Colorado have been reduced
to estimates of 1000 cars.
John F. Moore, president of the
Grand Junction Fruit Growers as
ISOLATION, and one of the most prom
inent men connected with the fruit
industry in Colorado, said:
1--WE originally estimated that the
crop in this district would be 5000
cars of apples, pears and peaches,
but on account of light bloom we
now estimate that the crop would
have been 1000 cars. / have thor
oughly examined and investigated
the fruit conditions in the entire val
