EAST END FRUIT LOSS HEAVY Estimates of damage to fruits and vegetables in the Walla Walla val ley caused by frost last night vary widely. John W. Langdon, manager of the Baker-Langdon orchard at Wal la Walla, a big Commercial plant, es timated that 20 per cent of the apples were killed Monday night. Langdon said that from statements made by other growers be believed prunes and cherries are nearly a total loss. C. B. Aukr, head of the Walla Walla Gar deners' association, said that the ear ly vegetables arc hard hit. This in cludes asparagus and tomatoes Strawberries are also badly damaged Harold Lamb of the Lamb Fruit company at Milton said that prunes are 50 per cent killed. John Wiley, district horticulturist, said that in some sections the frost was a benefit, thinning the fruit on the trees. The frost seemed to operate in streaks some trees totally escaping damage, while others were badly hit. Many orchardiste resorted to smud ging, the fires being kept going all night. It was estimated 7000 gallons of crude oil were burned. In some orchards where smudging was used, tops of tree3 were hit, while the blos soms nearest the ground were saved. It will be several weeks before the total damage is known, orchardists said. Temperatur; ranged from 19 at State Line to 32 at the weather bu- quality. Little selling of William ette valley fleece has been shown to date this season because buyers have been so busily engaged , in grabbing east of the mountain stuff that they have neglected the market. Then again the bulk of the Williamette val ley stock appears to be tied up by organizations which are not yet of fering generally. Herman H.

WOOL EXTREME PRICE Sales of wool continue in small lots at interior points at extreme prices. More business is available, but the stocks of fleece now offering are rather limited, with most of the big lots already cleaned up. Sales con tinue in the main from 30 to 33c a pound with occasional business at 34 to 35c a pound for the finer clips. Thirty cents appears to be the low point at this time for anything in the fleece market that is of average Judge R. J. Kitchen Lays Political Facts Bare. Municipal Judge R. J.

The fmcts are as follows: At the special session there were three companion measures to pass regarding the support of the World's Fair to be held at Portland in 1925, one to pass a law regaroing gasoline tax; one to bond the state, and the third to call a special election to vote on the question as to whether or not we would have the fair- Mr. Eberhard voted "yes" to call the special election to have the fair and every other member of the fourteen senators voted no. Was he one of the "Faithful Fourteen," or was he rot? We don't think so. Sec Journal of Senate and House of the 31st Legislative Assembly, special session, page 66 H.

Ellis, Hall, Jones, Lachmund La rollett, Robertson, Smith, Straycr, Thomas, Upton, Mr. Pres ident. Demands Reduction in Taxes. If nominated and elected Mr. Kitchen will favor the reduction of taxes by all taxing bodies, no more bonds issued until a method is devised for paying those nliead y authorized. Cut over-lapping commissions, apply strict economy in expenditure of all public funds same as in private affairs, not affecting our efficiency. Fewer Offices Advocated. Mr. Kitchen advocates fewer offices and the raise of no sal aries and placing Governor's salary back where it was before the 0 per cent raise. He stands for the organized farmer and laborer and the cutting out of all frills in education and the giving of preference to ex-service men on public work. Cut Out Extravgance. He advocates change in auto tax law so owner will pay on value and not weight of machine; let holder of note secured by mortgage on real estate pay taxes on it and not mortgagor pay double taxation; cut out all unnecessry appropriations and stand tor poll or income tax so taxation on real property will be mort fair and uniform. "Cut out extravagance. Reduce taxes-nol just talk about it." Kitchen is Out to Win. He is not in this race to divide the votes between any other i undulates but to be nominated himself and the voters of the 19tn Senatorial District snould support him.
