Orchardists at Milton Fattening the
Former on the Latter,
Milton. Sept. 25. Tho orchardists
around Milton arc feeding their prune
crop to hogs. The fruit make good
hog feed and Is prnrllrnlly worthless
to the farmer because of the extreme
ly cheap price. Thirty-five cents per
100 pounds Is the quotation at the dri
ers and this, men who grow them
say. does not pay for picking nnd
transporting the prunes. As a result
tho hogs arc being fattened on the
fruit. People who live close to the
drying establishments are keeping the
latter supplied, but the amount dried
will be far lest than ordinarily.
The prune crop was exceedingly
heavy this season and tho quality ex
cellent. Every orchard with prune
trees bore until the boughs were
weighted almost to the ground. When
the shipping season opened produce
houses were burled under a mass of
prunes and speedily the price sank
down until only 35 cents per 100
pounds wns offered. Then the prune
growers began to realize that an abun
dance of prunes was not so groat a
blessing, as little if anything could be
realized nt the low price.
Those residing In the immediate vi
cinity of the drlei'h can make a small
margin of profit, but when any con
siderable distance has to bo traveled I
it Is cheaper to leave them on the
trees. So, for the first time In years
In this country hogs are being fat
tened ou fruit.

Her name is Klla K. Hwlng, and she
hails from Scotland county, Missouri,
is 27 years of ago and will remain In
Walla Walla during the fruit fair.
Miss Kwlng Is said to bo the tallest
woman In the world. She wears No.
24 shoes, has to liavo her gloves made
to order and weighs 290 pounds. Her
growtli Is remarkable when It la con
sidered that she weighed six and one
half pounds at birth and at tho age
of 7 years was of average size.
Another lemarkable tiling regarding
.Miss Kwlng Is that her parents are
both of ordinary size. Her father Is
six feet one inch In height, whllo her
of Walla Walla was well represented j mother Is only live feet 11 vo and on
it the banquet board, and a most
elaborate spread was given.
Yesterday the business of the con
vention was hurried tluough. A num
ber ol interesting papers were given,
and the election of officers took place.
As the next place of meeting, Vic
toria. P. C. was selected unanimously,
a pressing invitation having been re
ceived by wire trom the mayor of
Hint e tv. Other towns located in
Washington gave way and the Hilt

The discussion of needed legislation
occupied much of the time of the con
vention, and a legislative commmee

Washington legislature. Tho com
mittee consists of Lovett M. Wood, of
Seattle; L. W. Pratt, of Tacoma;
Thomas Hooker, of Spokane, and S. F.
Weston, of Seattle. In addition to
libel laws the committee will taly up
the matter of public advei Using In
county and municipal contracts, and
tho necessity of other forms of public
notice In which the public Is inter
ested. Along this lino several able
addresses were made. Tho work of
the convention was qulto practical,
more so than most of the previous
conventions.
The annual election of officers also
took place.

Miss Kwlng has been before the
public for the last nine your.). She has
traveled with Uulfalo Hill and Ilar

states, and is now going through the
country exhibiting herself to ho gaze
of a curious public. She came to this
city from Salem, Oregon, and after a
short stay here is to go first to Yakima
ami then to Spokane.
Accompanying Miss Kwlng Is 1jret

Why More Separators Explode In the
Palouse Than Here7
The question has many times been
asked why so many more separators
explode ami burn up In tho Palouso
wheat fields than In ITmatllla and
Walla Walla counties. Tho question
Is being asked by farmers and Imple
ment men all over the country nnd Is
receiving no answer. Yet It Is truo
that machine alter maehlno bus blown
up iu the section named while In this
part of the country nothing of the
kind bus occurred t(ils season.
The only uppioach to u separator
explosion this season lu tho Walla
Walley valley or adjacent country was
In Columbia county, when a harvester
carried a lighted lantern beneath a
w oi king separator and tho straw
caught lire. There were several dam
