Dublin. Nevertheless, the Irish people
have had no hesitation In condemning
the rising.
Demands fexeeuttoM Stop.
The statement in conclusion states
that there is no doubt as fo the choice
of the Irish people. "If they do not
want the constitutional movement." it
states, "they do not want us. With
out their support we are engaged in
an Impossible task, with it we will be
able to complete the fabric of Irish
reform and Irish liberty. We shall
lead the Irish people into parliament
house, for which they have been pray
ing and working for a century."
The party resolved that the inquiry
into the revolt must be impartial and
deal with the government of Ireland
which has existed for the last three
years. It demands the stoppage of the
executions and the immediate with
drawal of martial law as well as gov
ernment compensation for damaged

lettes of that section very scabby and
poor. Prunes and plums or northern
California are also reported as only 0
per cent of a crop.
"Reports from prune section of the
Willamette valley indicate that the
dropping during the last few days has
been unusually severe, and the out
look, therefore, for a crop Is not en
couraging. Considerable damage is
also reported from Clarke county.
Wash.
Peaches have been damaged severely
In several eastern Oregon and Wash
ington section, but the full extent of
the loss will not be known for a num
ber of days.
Apples , have been somewhat dam
aged In most sections, although it Is
not believed that the loss will be as
heavy as In prunes.
Berries Also Suffer.
Strawberries have been hurt in Ore
gon, California and ' Washington, ami
some forecasts Indicate but a half
crop. Blackberries are just getting
into bloom, and it Is not known wheth
er much damage has been inflicted.
California reports to hand say that
much damage has been done to early
potatoes, and fears are expressed by
local interests that losses will be
shown here for the early planting.
Damage to cherries is also reported
severe in western Oregon and Wash
ington. Fruit losses In Idaho, It Is estimated,
will reach SI, 500. 000.
Damage in Yamhill.
Newberg. Or.. May 11. This part Of
Yamhill county was visited by a heavy
frost last night, and potatoes, peas
and beans, which had considerable
growth, were ruined. Cherries and
strawberries were : also damagod to
some extent, though the prunes, be
cause of heavy foliage, were better
protected aid were p'ractlcally unhurt.
It will be difficult to estimate thu
probable financial loss for two or three
days.
Walla Walla Is Hit.
Walla Walla, Wash., May 1!. The
Walla Walla valley Is experiencing the
coldest May weather in Us history, and
yesterday the record for late snowfall
was broken, with flurries that occurred
throughout the day. None remained
on the ground at nightfall in t!i- city,
but In the upper valley points there
was a light covering and the moun
tains were white as In winter.
Fruitmen are smudging where ap
paratus of the kind can be secured.
Frost danger Is so rare here that few
of the orchaiejlsts are thus equipped.

and it is feared that heavy damage
may result when the weather clears.
Heavy Loss Shown.
OntaHo, Or., May 11. The fruit
crop was damaged In this sec
tion Tuesday, night by a heavy frost.
The thermometer registered 20 above,
and the freeze played sad havoc with
cherries that were half grown, as welt
as formed apples, peaches and prune-.
All garden truck suffered severely, al
though In some instances gardens were
not touched by the frost.
A. Gramse, county fruit Inspector,
declares that the loss will be 60 per
cent of the promised fruit yield In this
section. In the Fruitland district,
across the Snake river in Idaho, the
thermometer registered 26 above, and
the apple crop was materially dam
aged. Snow at Cove.
Cove. Or.,- May 11. 8now fell in
Grand Ronde valley yesterday morning
to a depth of four Inches. A sudden
change was felt In the temperature on
Saturday. A bold wind blew, accompa
nied by snow squalls, and the mercury
went to the freezing point. The fruit,
which Is In full blossom, is badly dam
aged; cherries, apricots and peaches
suffering most severely. In the Cove
section most damage Is found to be
done in the higher altitudes of the foot,
hills, where more snow fell and re
mained longer on the trees.
Hail Storms in Clackamas.
Oregon City. Or., May 11. The re
cent hall storms throughout Clackamas
county have done considerable damage
to -the berry crop, especially to the
strawberries. No damage has been
done by frosts. Many have complained
of damage done by the heavy rains, and
these will tenid to set the berries back
considerable. A. H. Finnigan. a well
known strawberry grower, whose three
acres of berry plants is located near
this city, reported last evening that
considerable damage has been done to
his vines, some of which were badly
battered by the hailstones and fairly
driven Into the ground, and many of
those In bearing were damaged. Mr.
Finnigan Is engaged In raising plants
for the California market, these being
of the new Oregon variety.
In the Maple Lane district, about
three miles from this city, very little
damage was done to the berries or to
other fruit. C. W. Swallow, well known
fruit man of Clackamas county, reports
some damage to his strawberry plants,
and cherries were also damaged by hail;
but so far no damage was done by the
frosts. He states that, if'the heavy
rains continue, the berry crop will be
somewhat short in that section -of the
county. Raspberries and Loganberries
are not damaged.
Peach trees and strawberry plants
were damaged considerable by the hall
stones several weeks ago at Clackamas
station, but on the Etlers place, which
is located near the Clackamas river and
opposite Clackamas station, no damage
has been done-to the peach orchard.
J. M. Hollowell, who owns a 20 acre
farm at Gladstone, most of which is
in garden truck, reports the heaviest
loss in asparagus plants, these being
badly bruised' by the hailstones, but
other garden truck on this farm or in
that section of the country Is not
damaged to any extent. The fruit
trees, including cherries and pluma,
were' slightly damaged. The Chinese
gardens In trie northern part of the
city have been' damaged largely on ac
count of the high water In that part
of the city, this being back water from
the Willamette.
Molalla reports show that slight
damage has been done to fruit crops.
Molalla -was the only section of Clack
amas county that did not experience
the heavy snow storms during the
winter as In other parts of the county,
and the fruit season at that place will
no doubt be In advance of other sec
tions of the county.
The apple crops so far is not
damaged, and the present outlook for
large crops Is encouraging for the
fruit men.
The report from Mount Pleasant,
about two miles from this city, shows
that the hailstorm of Wednesday did
considerable damage to the cherries,
and many of the fruitgrowers of that
section report that many fell from the
trees, but no damage was done to
garden truck.
Cottage Grove Escapes.
Cottage Grove. Or., May 11. Cot
tage Grove haB so ?far escaped damage
from frost. Several days' rain en
dangered apples, but other fruit was
too well set to be hurt. It is likely
that the only damage of any kind will
be to grain that had not had time to
sprout before the heavy rain. The
weather is clear today and it is
thought that any loss will be neg
ligible. Damage Reports Vary.
Eugene, Or, May 11. Opinions of
farmers vary as to damage done by
cold weather. ' All agree that cherries,
which would have yielded enormously
in this section, were injured and crops
will be shorter than at first expected,
but believe other fruits escaped ser
ious injury.
Cloudy sky this morning and yester
day morning prevented damage from
heavy frost. Grain crops are unin
jured. Fog Helps Rogue.
Grants Pass, Or., May 11. The dis
trict immediately surrounding Grants
Pass escaped serious damage by Jie
frosts of Saturday night and Tuesday
night because a blanket of fog hung
: over the valley of the Rogue.
The tender vegetables were Badly
frosted In regions outside the protec
tion offered by the fog. but because of
the lateness of the season, corn plant
ing had not yet become general.
The most serious damage was re
ported In the vicinity otk Redlands,
where the night was clear, and it is
feared that the vineyards there have
suffered.
Apples and pears were too far ad
vanced to be much Injured.
Hood Crop Assured.
Hood River, Or., May 11. Last
night's frost is reported to have slight
ly affected apples In the upper valley.
Strawberries in this section are not
blooming yet. Oak Grove section re
ports strawberries and early . greeen
stuff nipped. Lower valley was not
affected. Recent heavy rains are re
ported to have Interfered some with
pollenlzatlon, but the heavy setting
still assures a bumper crop.
Idaho Loss Over Million.
Boise, Idaho, May 11. (I. N. S.)
Freezing temperature last night fin
ished the work of Tuesday night and
wiped out southern Idaho's fruit crop.
The prunes, comprising the state's big
gest crop, are entirely gone. Pears,
cherries and small fruit suffered the
same fate. Apple growers have hopes
that part of the winter crop survived.
The loss caused by the freeze in this
section is estimated at $1, 500,000.
Rfiu-ion Suffers Some.
Salem. Or, . May 11. While It is
known that frost and stormy weather
have damaged fruit, berries and garden
truck In some sections of Marlon coun
ty, and some 'growers assert that' their
tent of the damage Is a matter of spec
ulation. It Is generally conceded that
the damage will not be less than 10 per
cent, while some place It as high as (0
per cent. County Fruit Inspector Con
stable says he cannot estimate the dam
age until he has gone over the county.
He has received many reoprts of losses
from froet and other unfavorable
weather conditions, and also has re
ports from many growers that their
crops were not injured.
Albany Damage Not Serious.
Albany Or., May 11. Farmers this
morning were unable to determine the
exact damages to fruit and garden
truck by last night's frost, which is
said to have been the heaviest this
season. More or less garden truck was
nipped, but farmers are of the opinion
that It Is not serious. Some of the
fruit is too far along to be hurt, said
several farmers. Late storms' have not
done any damage except to delay farm
ing operations.
Medford Smudges Heavily.
Medford. Or., May 11. It is impos
sible to estimate closely the 'loss '"by
frost Sunday morning and this morn
ing. There were unusually low tem
peratures on both days. Probably 20
per cent loss Sunday morning is esti
mated by experts. Temperature this
morning was 28 degrees at Medford
and slightly lower In other localities.
The loss was minimized by heavy
smudging, and the damage may be off

Abundant time for good crop. Logan
berries were badly hurt. First crop
strawberries were destroyed in many
places, though there is time yet for a

The feeling is generally hopeful for a
better crop than last year, although
there Is frost predicted for Friday
morning.
McMJrmville Just Nipped.
McMlnnvllle, Or., May 11. As far as
can be ascertained little or no real
Injury has been inflicted In the or
chards about McMlnnvllle by the re
cent hail storm.
Many farmers have not yet put in
their full crops, season being back

damaged to any great extent or at
least it is too early to ascertain facts.
Farmers do not seem to be disturbed.
Prune crop may have suffered a little,
but growers are not alarmed. Straw
berries in bloom nipped by last night's
frost; berries in process of maturing
not hurt.

cause of the backward season. Early
vegetables suffered, but little. Though
strawberries may be effected.- the
early crop is safe.
Fruit was too far advanced to be
hurt, but there is some fear for prunes,
especially on the high lands. The
frost had little effect upon onions,
principal damage to this crop having
been from hail earlier in the week.
Damage would have been more ex
cept for spring rains, which prevented
early planting.

Frazier reports, has already been con
tracted for at prices as high as 90
