It is only natural that at this sea- awn of the year, untoward weather conditions are viewed with apprehension by fruit growers. A slight freeze occurred in the valley last night but the damage done to early fruit will only be nominal. Fruit prospects in the Walla Walla valley were never brighter, not only in the probable yield but in the general good prices that are predicted for all kinds of fruit. In vb of the evident success thai the manufacturers' association is meeting with in encouraging the consumption of home-made goods, is be regretted that tin- charge has been made thai an officer of th" association has used hi- office discriminate against a rival manufacturer, who from all outward appearances should have been allowed to make a display at the manufacturers' exhibit. It requires $99,999 worth taxable property, on a 12-mill basis, to pay the salary of the deputy prosecuting attorney.

As an excellent illustration the owners of the Hansom and Drumheller blocks, are paying Mr. McDonald's salary of $1989 a year. This snug sum would pay for stretch of nicely macadamised county road or help pay tor some of the damage done by the recent high water, which will have to be footed by the common taxpayer. Taxpayers are witnessing the ainazi-ig spectacle of a factional paper by threats and bulldozing tactics, keeping a public official in an office that is both a useless and unnecessary The office of deputy prosecuting attorney is costing the taxpayers of Walla Walla county, the snug sum of per month or per year. The records fail to show where the taxpayers petting their moneys worth.

If the county commissioners are to do their duty by the taxpayers they will cut off this useless and expensive office at their next meeting. A horrible story comes from Vancouver, B. in which it appears that a physiei in. in operating on a patient, failed to remove a lance from the wound When it was sewed up. The patient apparently recovered from the operation but was later taken ill.

Another operation was found necessary when the lance was discovered, firmly Imbedded in the man's side, while physlcfans are not immune from committing errors, the Vancouver case seems to be a simple ease of criminal negligence an as such the erring physician should subje. ted to severe punishment. AMUSEMENTS The Census Taker" at the Orpheum. "The Census Taker" ai the hrphcmn iast night proved a play which made a decided hit with the audience gathered to it and from the frequent ai planif will carry gondc rowds during its run. It is a light, breezy couudy with melodrama enough to suit those who like it.

In the title role Morrie Streeter was even better than i usual and Miss Bryan as "Polly Snipe" a inner AHce unds an old favorite here, was well received in Marie Weston." Hadley made a good villain and Ellis as "Harry Brown" iwas up to standard. The bill is repeated tonight, tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow n'ght. M.ss Eames Lsaves for California. Miss Virginia Eames. clever and popular little actress who has been at the orpheum with the Streeter-Bryan company for the past few weeks, has complete engagement in the city and left last night for Eureka, California.

Miss Eames is one of the most popular stage favorites this city has ever had. She has played in many bills here and has interpreted many characters, and in all of them she has been good. From her delineation of a carefree, happy girl to a designing woman has done well but the audiences nked hei best in roles of the former character. Public Sale of Mules and Horses.

Kbaaj. (25) THE EVENING STATESMAN, WALLA WALLA, WASHINGTON, VISIBLE WHEAT MILLIONS SHORT WORLD'S SUPPLY GROWING LESS A HEAVY EXPORTER. West Coast Trade, commenting on the wheat situation this week says: i Very little interest centers in the local wheat market at present. There has been a decidedly weak undertone manifested of late in both eastern and European centers, and. but for the fact that available supplies have been so reduced as to be very little above the normal local requirements for the balance of the season, it is probable that further reductions in quotations would be effective.

As it is. there is little or no wheat hi aring in the interior, and such wants as develop are being supplied at former i tilings of 84c for club and S2c for blue- stern, bul there is less premium offered by the mills than was the ease a few I weeks ago, and the limit is within one 'cert of export figures. The enormous exports of wheat from Argentine, with the active movement from country and Canada since the turn of the year is reflected in the returns Of available supplies, which for March 1 totaled 91,600,000 bushels for European ports, as compared with bushels on February 1. and 000,000 bushels on March 1 a year ago To offset this there is a decided shortage in the stocks, both visible and invisible. In this country and Canada, the aggregate visible for the world amounting to 152,200,066 bushels on March 1.

or a shortage of 11,000,000 bushels as compared with a year ago. but. when the price situation is taken into consideration the discrepancy is not so pronounced, and has given rise to conservative tendencies on the part cf purchasers, who are becoming more firmly established in the belief that We carry a full line of Blacksmith Tools and Blacksmith Coal.
