Crowd at Depot Disappointed.
Fully 100 persons, who had gathered at
the Union Depot to see the Emerys, were
sadly disappointed. As the Oregon Ex
press drew up at the depot there was a
craning of necks. It was generally be
lieved the Jap was with them and that
they might seek a marriage license at the
County Clerk's office. The train crew
quickly gave out the news that the
Emerys had alighted at the Bast Side
station, getting off the car on the east
side of the train. Some of the curious
then headed for the East Side station,
but of course arrived too late. It was by
entering the depot grounds from the steel
bridge entrance that, attention was
escaped when they went to the Northern
Pacific train bound for Tacoma. They
took seats In a day coach and chatted
with the newspaper men until the train
pulled out. Before leaving both thanked
the reporters for the assistance given
them.
"av'" been advised that Aokl waa
with the Emerys and that a demonstra
tion might occur when the party arrived
ln the city. Japanese Consul Numano had
a representative at the Union Depot yes
terday morning to take observations.
.Nothing occurred, however, and accord
ing to the Consul the opposition to Aokt's
marriage to Miss Emery Is not being
given official recognition, so far as he
knows.

that, beyond killing- the early peach
no injury whatever has been
suffered. It Is estimated that about
three-fourths of the peach buds which
had started before the cold weather
came on have been destroyed. This
leaves approximately 26 per cent of
the blooms, all of which will likely
make fruit, thus insuring as much
fruit as the trees will carry.
Prospects for a bumper apple crop
were never more bright, and owners
of apple orchards are expecting to
harvest a bountiful crop. Cherries are
also looking well. and Indications
seem to point to a heavy yield of this
variety.
Strawberries and other small fruits
are not believed to have been hurt by
the low temperatures of the early
Winter, and expectations now are that
one of the heaviest yields of "this kind
of fruit ever seen in this part of
the valley will be marketed.
During the past two months hun
dreds of acres of i new land have been
planted to orchards and small fruits
and berries. Probably, the variety
which has been set out most generally
is the apple, large tracts of which
have been placed in, the ground ln
many parts of the valley.
There seems to be a partiality to the
winesap and Jonathan apple ln choos
ing varieties. This is done, it is
thought.' because of the especial
adaptability of these trees to the soil
in this vicinity. It is claimed by those
who are in a position to know that
the Walla Walla Valley has been
termed by specialists who have ex
amined conditions here and in other
localities, to be the best adapted to the
Winesap and Jonathan apple of any ln
