The fruit growers of the Pacific
Northwest should be extremely care
full and leave no stone unturned to
save their fruit crops. There will in
all probability be a shortage of many
varieties of fruit in the east, as thou
sands of trees have been killed by tn
cold winter. Now is the most danger
GUS season of the year, as we have
cold nights and bright, clear days,
combination that ruins more fruit
buds than any other. Fruit will no
doubt be high this year and no effort
should be spared to save it.

De- livery will also be made on all the four rural routes leau ing the office.
 There will be at least four deliveries
 to the business section and three to

 Neither woman got a good or even fair description of the fellow, but this is not surprising, for they did not have the opportunity. Mrs. Manning said that he leaped at her from a crouching position and after grabbing the bag ran up toward the railroad and disappeared behind some piles of railroad ties. After snatching the bag from Miss Reed the fellow ran up Church street. The latter woman de- scribes the man as having on a gray cap and brown coat. There was a tendency among the police on Thurs day to connect the work of the hand bag thief with that of the person who stole the horse on School street.
