A very light coating of snow cov

The present weather conditions are
unprecedented In this part of the Val

Practically no damage has been done
to fruit and crops, say orchardlsts. but
ral est.tto men and publicity managers
are dubious mm to the effect of such
extremely unusual conditions upon In

weather will tend to destroy their be

Twenty-seven colonists arrived on one

IDAHO COLD EXTRAORDINARY
Jirroury at 1 Ixrgrrr-s in Orchards.
IVult May Suffer.
BOISE. Idaho. April II. (Special.)
Cold weather here and In Southern
Idaho today was record-breaking and
promises a freeze which may do great
damage to the fruit crop. The ther
mometers of the Weather Bureau reg
istered 24 degrees at noon, the lowest
record In the history of the office for
this time of the year. In the night
the mercury dropped to 2 6 degrees.
Thermometers Lu the orchard districts
registered 1 degrees. Timely warn
ing and smudging saved the bulk of
the fruit blossoms.
Tender fruit like apricots and
peaches undoubtedly was injured last
n lit at. but the extent of the damage
has not yet been learned by orchard
lsts. Apple and prunes have not ad
vanced ao rapidly in blossoming and
were not Injured badly. The Indica
tions are for a second freeze tonight.
Smudge pots are now operating at full
blast In the orchards to save the fruit.

POWER SITES ARE SEIZED
WHITE SALOMON" COUNTRY HAS
BOOM AS RESULT.
Many Filings Made bnt Ranchers
Believe Some Big Company
Will Gain Control.
HCSl'M, Wash- April 1Z (Special.)
The filing upon numerous water-power
sites along the 'White Salmon River In
this county Is giving rise to much specu
lation as to their termination. Not
withstanding ' the sites are being filed
upon by different persons and corpora
tions, the theory is advanced that ulti
mately some strong company will control
all of them.
So far as known five power sites have
been taken up within the past CO days
along the White Salmon River for a
distance of 30 miles. These filings are
made by the Northwestern Electric
Company, the Pacific Power & Light
Company. Charles L. Huff and others.
The filings call for approximately 1000
cubic feet of water p:r second, to be
used for manufacturing and Irrigation
purposes, and for the generation of eleo
. i . u-h rwivrer and all other
purposes to which electricity may be
applied, water la to do oiveneo oy
erecting dams, ranging from 50 to 130
feet In height, and carried by means of
flumes.
. ...-..t.!.. tt that Pacific Power
A Light Company when in Husum re
cently made the assertion mat u m
ah..- HifTarent nower sites were
made by his company he had not been
apprised of the tact.
Guy W. Talbot, president of the com
pany, announced at Hood River that
t'e Pacific Company had filed on the
mater power In tho White Salmon River
from Its head to the Columbia River,
and power from It will form a part-of
the big chain of electric powers which
the company will operate.
Optiona at exceptionally high prices
are being given by ranchers owning
lands adjacent to power Bites filed on.
An tptlon was obtained on 1000 acres
In the vicinity of the Wlnegarden bridge
nine miles up the river from here. This
purchase was made by the Northwestern
Electric Company, and the price offered
was higher than that paid for valuable
fruit lands. .
On the Klickitat River In the Cedar
Valley country, an exceptional offer was
made last week by Seattle capitalists
for the Hooper ranch of acres, on
which is a valuable power a'te.

CAMPAIGN IS . PLANNED
Manager Chapman, of Portland
Commercial Club Urges Pendle
ton and Adjoining: Communi
ties to Work Together.
PENDLETON. Or.. April 1J. (Spe
cial.) The 231 mile, separating Pen
dleton and Portland were annihilated
this evening and the two cities brought
Immeasurably closer together by the
enthusiastic reception which waa ten
dered C. C. Chapman, of the Portland
Commercial Club, by nearly 200 busi
ness men and citixens of Pendleton at
the second monthly banquet of the local
commercial association. Mr. Chapman
won for himself and Portland the ever
lasting friendship of this city by his
earnest declaration tiat the metropolis
was backing and boosting the Roundup,
Pendleton's great frontier show.
He urged the local association to se
cure for Itself permanent and commo
dious quarters and by all meana to have
an exhibit hall In connection.
Milton Section Heavy Producer.
H. D. Lamb, manager of the Milton
Fruit Growers' Union, electrified the
meeting by giving figures to show that
the MUton-Freewater country produced
more fruit and obtained more, money
for It than does either Hood River or
Wenatchee sections.
Among the other speakers were Ha
ven L. Whiting, of the Walla Walla
Commercial Association; Captain Buch
anan, of the Open River Transportation
Company; F. W. Swayxee, of Hermis
ton: J. O. Keefe. of Weston, and L. E.
Meacham. of Walla Walla.
The outside visitors declared the
meeting would have been a credit to
any city of the Northwest, without re
strictions as to size.
It has been contended for some time
that the active spirits engaged in com
mercial work In Umatilla County have
not co-operated with the success that
the situation demanded. Tonight's meet
ing was held with a view of unify
ing the various towns of the county so
that Pendleton, the county seat, might
lead and lend Its assistance towards
the development of the county as a
whole. It Is said that Umatilla la the
largest wheat-producing county In the
United States and that Its crop during
the past year aggregated 5.000,000
bushels.
Wheat and Erult Raised.
Not only as a wheat-producing coun
try, but as a fruit raising section. Uma
tilla maintains a high position In the
Northwest. It has within its borders
the Government irrigation project,
which Is rapidly nearlng completion
and Is seeking also from the Govern
ment an additional acreage known as
the West End project. Regardless of
these vast resources. Umatilla has not
been able to secure Its lust proportion
of the colonists who are coming from
the Middle West to Oregon. An analy
sis of the situation, according to the
view point of the Pendleton business
men. Is to the effect that there Is a
woeful lack of united publicity for a
common end. the settlement of Uma
tilla County.
Each unit of community interest has
adopted the plan of going It alone, with
the result that the effort was small and
the returns even more minute. It Is
believed that with the unification of all
the towns under the guidance of the
Oregon Development League the fu
ture will lead to a comprehensive and
Intelligent understanding of the won
derful resources of this section of the
state.
Walla Walla Has Trade.
There is another object to strive for
In holding the meeting at Pendleton,
and that Is that In the past the Milton
Freewater district, an Irrigated fruit
country which ships annually hundreds
of care of apples to the East, has given
the benefit of Its local trade to Walla
Walla. This properly, it is thought,
should have been given to Pendleton
and In dqlng so would aid In develop
ing the county as a whole. This Is re
garded as a more personal sfae of the
question so far as Pendleton is con
cerned, although there was a broad
spirit manifested on tile part of Pendle
ton business men towards the develop
ment of the county aa a whole rather
than consider the immediate success of
anv single Umatilla community.
Mr. Chapman. In his address, pointed
very clearly that the succesa of Oregon
aa a winner of settlers from the Mid
dle West rested largely In a united and
co-operative spirit, taking the county
as the unit and the state as a bulwark
of strength. "If publicity." said Mr.
Chapman, "is to be of value to the
State of Oregon, It must be of a meri
torious nature. .No advertising Is of
benefit unless ltls truthful. No com
munity ever was built upon a solid
foundation by the use of exaggerated
statements of Its resources. At the
same time a single community cannot
attain the same degree of publicity that
a number united together for the com
mon purpose can.
Unity of Work Essential.
"To properly build up Umatilla
County, every community must be lined
up on the same side of the fence, with
the same purposes in view and under
the direction of a common head. It Is
just as much to the advantage of Her
mlston as It is to Pendleton to get a
settler In Umatilla Coun'y, even If he
trades at Milton.
"It Is all right to make a noise and
yell loud, but that will never get the
settler. It lies within the power of a
county to become a strong and vigorous
factor by showing a united front, all
telling the same story, and a truthful
one. if It desires to develop. Umatilla
County, with Its record as a wheat
producing country. Its wonderful fruit
belt, and one of the choicest Irrigation
projects on the face of the earth, so
far aa climate, soil and ' altitude are
concerned, should and can become a
very attractive spot for the settler who
desires to Improve his condition by
moving to the West."
