Some lumbermen who rely upou

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
