degrees above freezing, though farther
down the valley it is reported pumps
were frozen and much damage done.
Mr.. Whitney says it will take probably
several days to determine accurately
the extent of loss that will result from
the cold snap, but he is not of the
opinion that any great al(ount of fruit
will be injured.
These cold nights, said he, "are
good, in that they will have the effect
of retarding peach trees and thus pre-
vent a freeze after the blossoms are
full blown. However, I would advise
fruit growers to start their smudge

Walla Walla Business Men
Well Pleased With the
Results Yesterday.
GOOD FEELING is
MADE UNIVERSAL
Practically Every Firm in
the City Represented
On Special Train.

After having spent the entire day
in visiting and getting acquainted with
business men in Kennewick, Pasco, At
talia and Eureka, and in looking over
the Burbank project, the delegation of
Walla Walla business men who left
yesterday morning on the special
Northern Pacific train, returned at
F7:45 o'clock last night, enthusiastic
over the success Of the junket Good
feeling prevailed throughout the trip,
the people in Kennewick and way
points having co-operated most heart
lily in making the event one long to be
remembered. Those who made up the
party represented practically every
branch of business in the city, and
there were few institutions that did
not have a delegate aboard
Those "live-wire" business men who
composed the jolly crowd found they
had under estimated the real value Of
the excursion so far as it related to
closer relationship of the communities
visited, for business men along the line
were the first to extend the "glad-
hand" and indicate their pleasure at
being hosts to such delegation of
distinguished citizens from the Garden
City. Everywhere was harmony and
good feeling; business was wholly
forgotten by the Walla Wallans, and
the entire day given over to the one
object of becoming more closely asso-
ciated, socially, with those thriving
cities located in what cannot fail to
become the main stay of southeastern
Washington in the next few months.

who do not believe yesterdays trade

DEMOCRATIC LEADER
GIVES HIS VIEW
OF VICTORY.
Exclusive Interview by
Statesman's Special
Correspondent.
(By Clyde III. Tavenner.)


WASHINGTON. March 25.-'Look-
ing back at the recent fight on the
house rules. what in your opinion are
the predominating political features
of the situation?''
l put this question to Champ Clark
of Missouri, the man who, as minority
leader, led his forces through the spec
tacular fight on the rules in such a
manner that no democrat finds it nee
essary to make apologies for the posi-
ton of the democrats at any period
of the great contest. Mr.. Clark had
received me at his apartments at The
Toronto in order that we might go
over the events Of the preceding As
hours step by step, but it was the
Sunday afternoon following the day of
the rules fight, and every few moments
a message came from some prominent
democrat perhaps in far distant part
of the United States, who had gone to
the trouble to wire his congratulations
to the minority leader. During the
time / was with Mr.. Clark there was
practically no cessation Of. telephone
calls.
Taken all together" said Mr.. Clark,
giving me my interview piecemeal.
"the republicans received the bloodiest
licking in the house on March 19 that
any majority party, in any parliament
airy body in the world, ever received.
AT the present time they have a no
minal majority of As in continuous
session for 29 hours and then beat
them by vote of 191 to 155. This was
done on nearly full vote of the house.
Every man was present that could be
got there by any means known among
men. Letters, kilograms. telephones,
and special messengers were used to
the limit, and every man who was
close enough to Washington to get
here, and was not fiat on his back
sick, was here. OF the 191 votes against
Cannonism in the house, all but 33
were democratic votes.
1T was an astounding victory in the
cause of good government, but does
not by any means end the battle. be-
cause the last vote, that is, the vote
by which the house refused to ac-
cept Mr.. Speaker Cannon's resigna-
ton, is pain and positive notice to-
the country that Cannonism, while
badly crippled, still survives. And, il

GUN CLUB PREPARES
FOR BIG ANNUAL
SPORT EVENT.
Much Interest in Coming
Program of Events
Being Prepared.

Two new Legget traps have just
been received by the Wala Walla
Gun club, and are to be installed at
the fair grounds next week for the
benefit of members of the local club
who are practicing for the annual
shoot, which is to be held May II, Is,
19 and 20, following a two-days' pre-
iiminary on May Is and 16. Secretary
j. F. Smai.s is now preparing the pro-
gram of the weeks events, and soli-
citation for advertising matter is to
be taken up next week.
1t is estimated conservatively that
fully $50 shooters from all parts of
the west will participate in the 1910
shoot, as the big Montana tournament
has been called off. centering the in
terest in the Walla Walla shoot. All
indications point to a bigger atend-
ance than that of last year, and as
the prizes hung up are of the highest
order, there is plenty of inducement
for the participants to enter here.
Practice by members of the local
club has been under way for several
weeks past, with favorable weather,
and remarkable scores have been
chalked up in number of instances.
MANY inquiries are being received by
Secretary Smails relative to the COM
ing tournament, and he fees confident
that the largest number of shooters
ever assembled in Walla Walla Will
be here for the big event in May.
