The orchards ' are givlnr signs of spring restlessness that ma; be productive of damage to the forth coming crop. Through the warm weather charac terizing this winter not only trees, bu other forms of vegetation have at talned unusual growth. . Bo long a the weather remains mild, this actlvlt: s not causing any alarm, but should sudden drop In temperature result the effect may be felt Immediately. Police Sergeant Frank Morse, for merly fruit inspector for Walla Walli county, has been particularly obser vant of late. 'The buds on the peach and othe trees I find now are much further ad vanced than they should be," said h 'The growth Is quite noticeable. O course, there Is little to be feared dur lng this present weather. 8hould th thermometer reach as low as four o five above, many of the trees, I ar afraid, would crack open from th freezing of the sap. "Several days ago I cut a small Urn from one of the trees. The sap flowe in such copious quantities that It soo ran down outside the bark and react 3d the ground. Thin activity I bcllev la apparent in all sorts of trees. . "Other forms of vegetation are Hk .vise affected. Hop vines that I hav planted In my yard have grown aboi tlx Inches, while rhubarb and seven vegetables have sprouted an Inch c nore." The futility of predicting the cours if coming crops from the early sprln ndlcatlons, however, has been prove nany Mmes Last year, 'after the cr lad gone forth that the entire fru rop was destroyed, nature gave nmplote denial of the report by fui nlshlng a bumper supply. 4 4 ' , ; 4: 4 4 4 February '.AND El n Saks in 0 if 4 daws ATSHERIFF'SSALB There was but little bidding" am rsH bidders at the sheriff's sale at th onrt house yesterday to cover thi delinquent taxes of Union county am islde from 21 sales, the county wa Tnrced to bid In on the entire bulk. These 21 sales vary from S2 U However, the delinquent tax list o late of sale was considerable smalle han the dny It was advertised, fo Seventh hour payments reduced thi 1st to t-t00. These payments wen iiade between the time of advertise nent and the date of sale. The lawi provide that the county shall bid It in sales where no other bids an nade, and the attendance yesterda; was extremely small. Hence the 'ounty bid In on a large bulk of the 1st of advertised property. When xlvertlsea, the delinquent list was ibout $5000, but the strong finish left the list comparatively short.
