Logging on a Big Scale is Under Way in the Sumpter District. Sumpter— From the amount of logs that have been put in at the mills dur ing the w inter, lumbermen of Eastern Oreogn are contemplating a big business during 1905. The Oregon Lumber company has continue«! logging opera tions steftilily and will only let up dur ing the breaking up spell.

WARM DAYS HASTEN THE BUDS. Fear o f Late Frost Declared Ground less by Old Settlers. Hood River— Peach trees w ill be in bloom in a few' days and fruit buds are swelling in all parts of the valley. Strawberry vines are putting forth new leaves and the hillsides have freshen«! up with a new growth of grass. There is apprehension by some of the fruitgrowers lest a cold snap should damage the fruit during the month, but old settlers state that frosts of any great destructiveness have never oc- curred after the opening of spring. The roads are drying fast, while farmers are taking advantage of the good weather to plow. There has been less rain and snow in this part of Oregon than for many previous years. Mountain peaks where the snow has Ix^n accustomed to linger until May 1, and often times far into June, are now almost clear of snow. The rainfall during February wag a tritle over one inch.
