A KILLING FROST.
Fruit Seriously, Injured in Oregon,
Washington and California.
Dispatches received yesterday at the
office of the United States Weather
Bureau announce a "killing frost" over
all Oregon and portions of Washington,
while Northern California was visited
with a light frost. The prospect of an
immense fruit crop this summer has
been most flattering until reports of the
havoc created yesterday morning, and
fears are now entertained that the pros
pective big crop will prove a total failure.
Apples maybe saved, as on account of
rains and cold weather they are reported
backward, but cherries and- other small
fruits have received a severe backset and
detailed account of the injury sus
tained by the unexpected frost is now
anxiously awaited.
A dispatch from Roseburg, where a
signal office is stationed, confirms the
report received by the weather bureau
in its announcement of a killing frost in
that vicinity, and it is anticipated that
it has extended throughout the entire
Umpqua and Willamette valleys.
Mr. S. A. Clarke, of Salem, the well-
known horticulturist, says the frost will
prove a vety serious matter to the fruit
raisers of that vicinity.
At Baker City yesterday morning, the
thermometer registered four degrees be
low freezing point," and a heavy frost on ;
at Walla Walla and Spokane, the 'same
discouraging reports were received, in
dicating that the frost had been general
and disastrous.
Good Roads.

cannot have without Uncle Sam's help

Impose a $5 fine if the section is not in

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.
A Very Pleasant Session, Generally
tended, at Hood River.
May day morning those who were on
the lookout might have seen a goodly
company of young people ol The Dalles
embark on the' "good ship Regulator."
It was a company of Christian Endeav-
orers bound for liood Kiver to attend
the first annual convention of Wasco
countv of this society. The bright sun
shine and eparkling water made the
trip very enjoyable. Old Columbia
rolled and we old sailors enioved the
port. At Husbands we had an addi
tion to our number, Mrs. and Miss Hus-
ands, who were also on their way to!
the convention, joining us here. The
igh water made it possible for the j
steamer to land near the station at Hood
River, where we were met by the recep
tion committee, who were designated by
badges, and the leaves and fruit of the
Oregon grape were the emblem of their
authority.
THE CONVENTION.
At 10 o'clock, after a praise service,
the address of welcome was delivered by
Rev. Mr. Gilt of Hood River, and re-
ponded to by Miss Etta Story of The
Dalles, who was county secretary.
An open parliament to discuss the
work of the . lookout committee was
held at 11 o'clock, and proved helpful.
During the noon hour the delegates
were entertained at the homes of the
people of Hood River, your correspond
ent being so fortunate as to be the guest
of Mr. and Mrs. Harrison at their beau
tiful home. '
The afternoon session opened with a
praise service. At roll call eight socie
ties responded, as follows: Four 'at
Hood River, three at The Dalles, and
one at the Cascades. Reports of the
societies showed a large growth and
marked advance for Christian En
deavors. ,
A valuable paper by Mrs. Gilt on in-
ter-denominationalism was of great in
terest to the delegates.
During the business hour the conven
tion was duly organized, adopting a con
stitution and. by-laws and electing its
officers. The officers elect are as follows
Mr. H. C. Bateham of Hood River,
president; E. H. Merrell of The Dalles,
vice president ; Mrs. C. E. Aldrich of
the Cascades, secretary ; Miss May Rob-
bins of The Dalles, treasurer.
A pleasant and profitable hour was
spent in asking and answering difficult
questions connected witn the work of
the societies, Mr. Gilt acting as con
ductor, after which we again went to
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harrison for
supper. .
EVENING SESSION.
Praise service, followed by an address
by Mr. Parker of Filmoth on "Christian
Citizenship." A paper was then read
by Mrs.. Bartmess, "Possibilities of
Life." Rev. Jenkins of The Dalles de
livered an address on "The Pledge and
Its Importance." '
. It was . decided to have a union look'
out committee.' The chairman of the
convention was asked to appoint the
chairman and the societies to elect one
each and send the name to the chairman
of the lookout committee.
Resolutions of thanks were passed
thanking the executive committee, the
people of Hood River, the churches,
school board, D. P. & A. N. Co., and
those who gave the helpful papers and
addresses.
The music interspersed during , the
exercises of the convention was very ex

GREENLAND uIHlJ SKINS.
The Peculiar Mothods Km ployed by
tfa
Esquimaux in Preparinc Them.
To the Esquimau woman, says Dr.
Nansen, the mouth is like a third
hand, especially in the preparation of
skins, which is a very considerable part
of her work. As a consequence the
front teeth of the older women are
often worn away to the merest stumps.
The Esquimau method of preparing-bird-
skins is extremely peculiar and
therefore interesting-, and is thus de
scribed: ' - t.
The first step is carefully to dry the
feathers; then the skins are turned in
side out, and the layer of fat is scraped
away as thoroughly as possible with a
mussel shell or a spoon, and is eaten,
being esteemed a great delicacy. Then
the skins are hunt? up under the roof
to dry.
After a few days the last remnants
of . fat are removed from them by
means of chewing-; then they ; are
dried again, washed in warm water
with soda and soap three times over,
then rinsed our. in very cold water,
pressed, and hung- up for the final
drying-. If the feathers are to be re
moved so that only the down .is left,
as, for example, in the case of the cider.
duck, they are plucked out when tne
skin is half -dry. Then it is thoroughly
dried and cut up, and so is ready -for
use. - .
The chewing is a very remarkable
process. The operator takes the dry
skin, almost dripping with fat and
chews away at one spot till all the fat
is sucked out and the skin is soft and
white; then the chewing area is slowly
widened, the skin gradually retreating-
farther and farther into the mouth,
often until it disappears entirely, to be
spat out again at last with every par
ticle of fat chewed away. .
This industry is for the most part
carried on by the women and children,
and is very hig-hly relished by reason
of the quantity of fat it enables them
to absorb. In timesL of scarcity, the
men are often clad enough to be al
lowed to do their sharer
It is a strange scene that is presented
when one enters a house and finds the
whole population thus' enjraged in
chewing, eaeh with a skin in his month.
The peculiar excellence of the Green
land bird-skin is due to this process.
