quality. Some of the smaller pieces are
worth their weight in gold, and little
bits fit for a ring setting will sell in
China for hundred dollars or more On
the other hand. there are enormous
blocks worth nothing and tons which
cannot be worked by the poor too,s OF
the natives. The. mining is exceedingly
primitive. The rocks are cracked by
building fires upon them They are then

Men who were discouraged Satur-
day are taking hope and are gaining
more courage every day. One man
who said he was going to kick over
his smudge pots and go to bed, stated
this morning that he was dead wrong

he not been nearly exhausted from
loss of sleep and blue from overwork.
Mr. Mahony will not admit that
even third of the crop has been
bitten and has offered the proof of
experts to back his word and 1t would
not be a great surprise If it turned
out that he was right. Be this as 1t
may, one fact there can be no contra
diction the Grand valley will have the
largest fruit crop in her history and
will have more than any other sec
tion in the proportion of a full crop.
Smudging was pretty general again

VALLEY IS CERTAIN
To HAVE BIG CROP

with the cessation of the cold
weather and the first attack of King
Frost repulsed with not serious dam
age, Commander Mahony and his
lieutenants have made an inspection
of the results of the fiercest battle
ever waged between the two common
enemies and find the results extreme
ly gratifying,
Before the smoke had cleared away
many were inclined to feel exceeding
ly blue. numerous buds having little
icy moisture around the centers were
pronounced dead, other blackened by
oil smoke and coal dust, looked dis
heartening and one thing was certain,
they were all at some time or other
in the grasp of the coldest weather,
in which they had ever been, much
colder in fact than 1t was supposed
they could withstand. But the frost
came this season under peculiar cir
cumstances and 1t will have to be
admitted now that the buds will stand
even four or five degrees more than
II was supposed they would stand.
Three things were in favor of the
friendly forces. first, the cold wealth
er came on gradually and the buds
were hardened to undergo the severe
strain second, the weather warmed
up gradually and third, there had
been but little rainfall or moisture
for several days before the drop in
temperature.
There are orchards In the midst of
what were the coldest sections of the
country which do not show evidence
of n single bud having been killed,
but of course this was not general for
there are other orchards where half
of the buds have been killed but this
is a case at the other extreme. Even
yet 1t is not practical to estimate the
damage done but from the closest
examinations the result is such as
to gladden. the hearts of the workers
who fought defeat to the last ditch
and to strengthen the faith In the
smudge pots.
When asked by n Sentinel repre-
sentative this morning to favor the
paper with an emphatic estimate of
the exact damage done, one of the
pioneers of the valley and also one OF
the best fruit experts of the country
replied, That's pretty bold thing to
attempt but | am satisfied that two
thirds of the buds are yet alive and
that II cans that we have come OH
better than we ever did before when
we were Obliged to fight frost and
that the valley will surprise even
itself in the amount OF fruit shipped
this year. IT also means that any
one who gives up smudging and lays
down now is merely robbing himseit
of the price of d good crop ana Is
absolutely blind to his opportunities

Topeka THE TIGHTEsT TOWN
Especial to The Sentinel.

Topeka. Kan, April 1S.-Does the
preaching of a sermon on the Sab
bath for pay, the singing in a church
for compensation and the playing of
the church organ for money on the
Lords day constitute a breaking of
Topeka's Sunday anti-labor law?
Mayor Billiard says these things
are Just as much of an infringement
of the ordinance as the working of
actors and stage hands, who are now
prohibited from following their voca-
tions Sunday.
Mayor Billiard also calls attention
to the operation of the street cars on
the Sabbath, and to open drug stores,
cigar stores. peanut stands and soda
fountains. The plain inference is that
he expects to make Topeka the
'tightest" blue law town in Christen-
dom.
