Apples Killed by Cold.
"The apple crop of the Kosetta and

possible, immediately following the
freeze, to determine the extent of the
loss, the condition of the trees is now
such as to leave no doubt as to the
extent of the damage. lie has not

TELLS OF CONDITIONS.
Wallu Wulla Pioneer Was Through

In Line for a "Handout" Snys the
Stories of Shooting by Guard Were
Exiiirjrrrutod Order Is Now Com
ing From the Chaos.
Colonel Frank J. Parker, of Walla
Wulla, returned this morning from
San Francisco.' He left the ruined
city to attend the wedding of his eld
est son, Frank, who was married Sat
urday evening to Miss Clara Neckll
son, ut The Dulles. The young couple
left on the morning train for San
Francisco, where the young man will
resume his duties In the Pacific Mail
offices.
Colonel Parker was all through the
trouble, experienced the shock, went
through the fire for three duya and
nights, camped out, stood In line to
get a handout, served on patrol duty
and assisted the relief association all
he could.
He says it Is impossible to convey
an idea of the earthquake and the
fire that followed. He lived, on How
ard street, in the Mission district, and
the fire came within one block of his
residence.
He Is enthusiastic over the way the
people take it. There are no com
plaints or knockers, but individually
and collectively every one la Imbued
with the spirit of rebuilding the city
better than ever and taking a fresh
start In life.
The assistance and sympathy they
have received from the world at large
has much to do with the optimistic
spirit that universally pervades all
classes. Social barriers ore torn apart
and millionaire and working man
meet on the same level.
The action of General Funston and
Mayor Schmltz in calling out the mili
tary, closing up every saloon, assist
ing the needy, meets with universal
approbation.
E. H. Harrlmon came on the scene
as fu.-t as steam could bring him from
New York, and he virtually turned the
Southern Pacific treasury loose In the
devastated city. He showed himself
possessed of more executive ability
than all the rest put together. He
first found what was to be done and
then did it. In 24 hours he had a
railroad built through the streets to
clear up the ruins and was everywhere
night and day directing. It will be a
long time before any mure abuse of
Southern Pacific is heard In San
Francisco. All the employes are Im
bued with the same spirit.
All cooking Is now done In the
streets for fires are not allowed In the
houses, and will not be until the
chimneys are repaired and the water
mains put In order.
"During all the trouble there were
no disturbances." said Colonel Parker,
but this was not through fear of God,
hut the well known fact that disturb
ers would have been shot at sight as
these were the orders.
"Mistakes were made by Inexperi
enced officers arid men of the militia,
hut the good they occasioned vastly
offset the mistakes.
"The shootings so much talked ot
were greatly exaggerated and what
was done simply had to be done and
that Is all there Is to It.
"Men are now forced to work If
they draw rations. Carpenters, plumb
ers, bricklayers, plasterers and stone
masons are needed badly. There is
not a chimney Intact either in San
Francisco or any of the cities for 20
miles or more around the bay.
"Relief Is still needed and will be
for months to come, but the people
of the Pacific const seem to think we
all owe something to San Francisco,
and there is no fear but they will no
bly respond to nny call.
"I venture the prediction thnt with
in five yearn San Francisco will be re
built grander than ever."
WEST END MEETINGS.

slippery path and used many familiar
Illustrations to Impress his thoughts

Tne evening service, at which Rev.
