FROST FAILED
TO HURT FRUIT

Again the heavy frost, billed to
damage the fruit, failed to show up,
and last night was marked by an in
crease of temperature, rather than q
fall to any dangerous mark. The mer-
curry did not get below 46 degrees
last night, and smudge pots were not
used at all. Tonight bids fair to be
warm, and the weather bureau has
predicted showers from time To- time
during the next "a hours.
According to District Fruit In
spector G. L. Whitney, and others
qualified to know the conditions, fruit
has not been hurt by the two or three
frosts of the past week or 10 days
have not damaged the fruit to any ex
tent In fact, what little damage has
been done has been more bepefiClal
than otherwise as t.e lcuit has been
thinned. While the frost was not
nearly heavy enough to do the thin
ming as would have been most bene-
fetal, it helped.
Fruit conditions were never better
in the valley than at present. said
a we'll known orchardist today. 9Th
light crop of last year together with
the excess of moisture in the ground,
and the lack of cold and damaging
weather has put the orchards in fine
condition. The frost danger point has
nearly been passed, and we will be
lucky to get a freeze to hep us thin.
With good weather conditions from
now on. there will be one of the Dig
gest fruit crops the valley has ever
known. Farmers are taking great
precautions with the spraying TINS
year, and that, with the other ="
work that has been pressed by In
spector Whitney, will aid materially
what nature has done to make bump
err crop"

Prison Road
Is Inspected

Following out the policy of the
better road men of the county good
roads convention, as well as the wish
of the Commercial club that a maca-
damized road be built between here
and the penitentiary, the mayor and
city council and the directors of the
commercial club. together with the
committee appointed to look into the
matter of which Mr.. J. C. Scott is
chairman, made a trip to the peniten-
tiary to investigate the advisability oe
laying such a road. Mr.. Jones says
this afternoon that although no def
mite report had yet been made, the
committee is unanimous in the opin-
ion that the road should be built and
that it wi be built before the good
road convention meets here this fall

CITY SpOTLESS
SAYS INSPECTOR

Acting upon the recommendation of
Sanitary Inspector w. c. Gates, the
city council last night decided to. take
three wagons from the cleanup de-
partment. Two of these were tenn
porarily in the employ of the city, as
sisting in the recent movement to
scour the city, while the other was a
regular. This leaves seven carts and
wagons now in active service.
THE taking off of these men marks
the close of one of the most thorough
c.eanups the city has ever had" said
Mr.. Gates today. Owing to the fact
that there was so much snow 'ast
winter. there was little done in the
way of cleaning up. The day appoint
ed by the mayor for the general clean
up was lost on account of the heavy
snow the night before. But when the
weather did make it possible for the
cleaning to begin, it was done thor
oughly.
"And the people helped with more
willingness than usual, too. Every
one seemed to take an interest in the
work and made it easy for the men to
get the rubbish. I think the city is
cleaner today than it has been for
many year.
Tomorrow or next day the health
committee will accompany me over
the city, inspecting the work that has
been done and also to make sugges-
tons as to any further improvements
they think should be carried out. But
hardly think there will be much
more to do, save to carry away few
rubbish piles that may be left from
time to time. For the city is clean"

SUPREME COURT
AFFIRMS
Continued from page one.

instituted action for damages against
the city. This action Mas hung fire FOR
several years. Judge Brents in the
Walla WalTa county superior court
heard the case and awarded the plain
tiffs $1,000. The law firm of Sharpstein
appealed the case to the supreme
court where it has been pending for
some time. The decision was the ex-
pected death knell to the city finances.
The supreme court gives the city the
right to start condemnation proceed
ings against the mill company and all
others using the water. This will
doubtless be done but it would almost
be as costly as the construction of an
entire new water system for the city.
BY the decision it means that every
person who is using Mill creek waters
for irrigation purposes, for domestic
purposes or anything whatever, will
have to be the defendant in a condem-
nation suit and that the city will
have to pay the full amount of dam
ages to each and every person who is
deprived of the water.
The Dement, mill, one of the largest
Touring mills in this section of the
country is using the water to furnish
power for their entire establishment.
L. this water is taken from them it
will mean that a steam plant will have
to be installed and the damages the
city will have to pay this firm alone
will amount to thousands of dollars.
Most every person above the city
have relinquished their claims to the
waters of Mill creek, but from Sixth
street down, where the Dement,
Brothers get their water the rights are
all reserved.

Dayton went dry in 1908 by a. vote

WATSEKA, ILL.,, March 30.-The de-

a point today when Judge Dibbel! rul-
ed the prosecution could not use the
statements of the defendants before
the coroner shortly after Saylor was
killed.
Much of the states case, 1t IS de-

Do farmers eat the proper
sort of food?

The farmer of today buys a much
larger proportion of the food that goes
On the table than he did ten years ago.
Its good thing that this is so because
he has great variety to select from.
He should, however, use great care
in selecting for the best results in
health and strength.
The widespread tendency in the city
to increase the amount of Quaker Oats
eaten is due very largely to the recent
demonstrations by scientific men that
the Quaker Oats fed man is the man
with greatest physical endurance and
greatest mental vigor.
Farmers should give this subject
careful thought and should increase
the quantity of Quaker Oats eaten by
themselves, their children and the
farm hands. 81
