The Fruit Mot Badly Injured.
The thermometer registered 7 degrees
above zero in Walla Walla Sunday night,
says the Statesman. This is 9 degrees
colder than it was in The Dalles on the
same night.
Fruit men generally think the peaches
and apricots are not seriously injured,
and if the cold grows no mere severe
that we Till yet have a good crop. An
old resident of the Northwest says that
many old settlers have erroneous im
pressions of March weather in former
years. Many of them stoutly insist that
they have seen the mercury below zero
in this month several times within the
last twenty years, while the government
reports show that only once in twenty
years has the temperature in March
been lower. In March, 1891, the mercury
fell to 2 degrees above zero. He thinks
'there is little danger of fruit trees being
killed even if itsbould become much
bolder. There is now little eap in the
S 4
trees and when this is the case there is
killed about fourteen years ago the trees
were full of sap, and when in February
the mercury fell so low the trees were
generally killed. .Moreover, the ground
at that time was covered with deep snow
upon which a thick crust had formed,
and the reflection of the sun from this
crust caused the- trees to split open on
be south side, thus completing the
eadly work of the extreme cold. A
ruit man of wide experience says that
he fruit buds can stand very severe cold
so long as no water gets in them. The
water freezing in the buds is sure death
to them. Hence a heavy sleet falling
upon the trees, followed by intense cold
is most to be feared by fruit' men.

STRUCK FLOWING WATER,
t Not Enough and Mr. Keliay 'Will
Go Deeper.
" m 1 1 a"
E lowing water nas Deen strucK-Dy jun
Kelsay at a depth of thirty feet.
This is as far as the drilling apparatus
got yesterday when the tube filled up,
and water commenced pouring out at
the top, which is seven feet from the
ground. The force, though insufficient,
is thus demonstrated to be artesian in
nature. The actual number of gallons
per hour could not be estimated because
of seams in the tube through which the
water found its way. Mr. Kretzer.who ia
an experienced well driller, believes that
wieh greater depth, a sufficient force of
water will be found to eatisfy Mr. Kelsay
and the others who are conducting the
experiment.
It has long been believed by many
that artesian water exists in limitlees
quantity above the fair grounds. Above
this two mountains spread apart at their
base and within this space, forming a
triangle, there appears to be water
everywhere just beneath the surface of
the ground. Where earth has been dis
placed have arisen flowing springs, and
it ia thought that a great supply could
be found for the seeking, more than
enough to supply the needs of The
Dalles. At one time the citizens of The
Dalles subscribed $1,000 for the purpose
of an investigation, but the city council,
who was requested to furnish another
$1,000 for operating expenses, did not
think it wise to make the appropriation.
If the experiment made by Mr. Kelsay
proves successful there is scarcely a
doubt that some one will try this prom
ising field, and clear up the speculation
that exists in the minds of many citi
zens who were interested at one time in
this experiment,
Appreciate the Regulator.
Daniel O'Connor, a prominent wool
man of Klickitat county, was in .the
city yesterday, and states that there is
a general movement among the sheep
men of the county to ship by the Regu
lator from this time henceforth. To do
this the owners of flocks will establish
corrals somewhere between the block
house and Goldendale, drive their sheep
to them, where the fleeces will be
sheared .Jand haul the wool from there to
the steamboat landing, a distance of
twenty miles, more or less. The sheep
will then be driven for the sutflmer to
the range surrounding Mt. Adams.
There are in round numbers 80,000
head of sheep in Klickitat county, and
the most of this immense amount of
wool has heretofore gone to Arlington
and . been shipped aboard the cars.
The sheep men, however, appreciating
the services of the boat line, have
decided upon the foregoing plan
to favor them. They will haul the wool
to the landing and return laden with
supplies, purchased in The Dalles.
O'Connor is one of the largest sheep
owners in Klickitat county, having four
bands. Others in the movement are
Cunningham, two bands, Col. Thomp
son two, Fred Dee tw and William
Cahill one.

COLD STORAGE WAREHOUSE.
Mr. F. A. Seufert Will Establish One
on 3-Mlle.
We are reliably informed that a cold-
storage and pork packing house on a
large scale is shortly to be established in
The Dalles by Mr
F. ASufert. The
warehouses are to
are to be eata-Qhebed on
3-Mile and the plant apd machinery,
costing $12,000, has already been ' or
dered. The company offices will be at
The Dalles. Work is expected to c
mence within ten daj,
From a business point of view this is
one of the most important enterprises
ever established in The Dalles and will
more than all benefit the farming - corn-
unity. Take the item of eggs for ex-
a pie. Ten years ago Mr. Seufert went
over into the uoldendale country and
procured 3,000 dozen of eggs for outside
markets. Since then eggs have become
so depreciated in value in the summer
season that the poultry business no
longer pays and today it is probable that
if Klickitat county were scoured, it
not produce 300 dozen. Now comes the
benefit of the cold storage. . The farmer
takes bis eggs to the cold storage ware
house where they are put in an air
tight compartment at a given tempera
ture. At the end of six months they are
just as sound as the day they were laid,
and may be sold in the fall and winter
months at a very low figure. As with
eggs so with other products. Butter,
cheese, sweet potatoes, cabbage, apples
and fruits of all kinds will keep sweet
and good for months after their natural
decay in a changeable atmosphere.
The Chronicle is pleased to hear that
the business is to be worked up by so
thoroughgoing a man .as Mr. Seufert.
In a residence of Beveral j ears here he
has proven that whatever he engages in
is done with a vim and wholehearted
ness that is a pleasure to observe. So
when we are informed that the expensive
machinery required will be complete and
up-to-date and the buildings substantial
and roomy we feel the assurance that
the business will equal if not exceed any
other of like nature in the entire North
west. Look
