WINTER IN NOME.
Freewater, March 27. The fruit
growers of the Freewater and Milton
districts, as well as all the people of
Umatilla, county, are rejoicing to Know
that the recent cold spell and snowl
has not done near so much damage
to the fruits as was at first reported.
Last week it was thought by nearly
all the growers "that nearly all the
early fruits were entirely gone, but
since the late rains and warmer
weather has come on It Is found that
only half If not more than half of
the crop Is saved, and In many cases
it is believed that the fruit will now
be of much better quality and larger
as the trees will not be so heavy.
There will be plenty of peaches, and
a good quantity of other fruits.
Baseball.
A game of baseball was played In
this city Sunday afternoon between
the Freewater and Touchet nines In
which Touchet won by a score of 14
to 5. A large crowd of young people
came over from Touchet, and a crowd
of people turned out from this place.
The game was very Interesting, and
caused considerable excitement.
Touchet Is a little town on the O. K.
& N. several miles below Walla Walla.
Robbed of $15.
Miss Edythe McCnlley, who recently
arrived from near Roseburg to teach
the Freewater school, had the misfor
tune to have $15 stolen from her
purse a few days ago. Parties have
been trying to locate the robber but
have been unable to do so so far.
She left the money In her purse In
her room.
W. H. Fletcher, who recently In
vested In the Alberta country, has
returned to remain several days to ar

He says he is well pleased with the

United States Marshal T. Cader
Powell, whose headquarters are at
Nome. Alaska, has written to a Port
land friend regarding work and life
In the north, says the Oregon Dally
Journal. The letter was written on
January 17, and reached Portland to
day. In part, Mr. Powell says:
"It has been very cold here for a
month. They say It has been the
longest and coldest spell ever known
here. Temperature was from 85 to
42 degrees below zero for about two
weeks. It Is now 26 below. I don't
mind It much. I get out with the
dogn nearly every day. The coldest
day I was three miles below the fort
to serve a subpoena. It was 45 de
grees below at a cabin where I stop
ped to make Inquiries. I don't mind
the cold as long as the wind doesn't
blow. v
"The camp seems to be all right
thl. winter. A great many more and
larger dumps are being taken out than
last winter, and many new discover
ies have been reported, though none
so lch as the Portland Bench. Some
rich strikes have been made at Jess
creek, a small stream that runs Into
the sea about four miles below this
side of Penny river. The biggest
proposition ever struck In this coun
try Is Ophir creek.

The Cannery.
The erptlon of a cannery In Free-
water the coming season should not
be neglected as there Is no better lo
cality In the northwest for such an
enterprise. A number of people In
this section who are Interested In a
cannery going In here are Investigat

Not only could fruits be canned here,
but tomatoes and other vegetables

Grant County IHminiKls AsrleSAiiiciit at
Full Value.
Grant county Is clamoring for a
full assessment of Its property In or
der that the rate may e reduced. In
commenting on the matter the Grant
County News says:
When the medium taxpayer under
stands that It will cost the entire pop
ulation of the county no more to as
sess property at par value than at part
value, and that It will cost to each of
the said medium taxpayers considera
ble less, the fight for honest assess
ment will have been won.
An illustration will prove the first
part of the statement better than an
assertion, and the following proposi
tion Is therefore submitted:
The actual value of property In
Grant county is $4,000,000. In order
to pay off the debt, $80,000 taxes
should be raised. The levy Is 2 per
cent every man pays $2 on every
$100 worth of property he owns. But
the property Is assessed at one-half
valuation or $2,600,000. Now the levy
becomes 4 per cent every man pays
$4 on every $100 worth of property,
No difference In cost to the taxpayers
but a mighty difference to capital
seeking Investment. Two per cent
attracts capital; four per cent repels
It.
The former would be the truth, the
latter Is a He.
The truth system In Grant county
Is pushing forward slowly, against
much opposition, and through a heavy
tangle of subterfuge and evasion,
Many people are demanding that
every assessor be placed under bonds
to record the truth first, and required
to make affidavit that he has done so,
afterwards.
Should the privileged few progress
too far, bonds and oaths for officers,
heavy penalties for the tax dodger,
will be found by the common people,
Into whose keeping all great questions
of state must finally be committed.
