against J. A. Newell, orchard owner,

ance actions against Jackson county,

corporation.
The decree and findings, handed
down by Circuit Judge C. M. Thomas,
holds that the Oregon Growers, "a

ers is subsequent to the rights of
the plaintiff," but that Jackson
county holds "no claim on the
property." The lien was $240 for
fruit brokerage. . The claim of Jack
son county was a horticultural lien,
for money expended in blight control
and was disallowed because no legal

taken within the statutory time of
six months.

FREAK WEATHER
HEADS OFF FROST
E. VALLEY
Unexpected clouds which hud been
unforeseen by either the weather
bureau or local frost expert, coming
into the valley and spreading over it
at 3 a. m. today fortunately chased
away the expected frost, which had
been forecasted us a heavy one Ity the
San Francisco weal her bureau Mon
day morning, and last evening by
Floyd Young, tho frost expert, with a
prediction of 29' degreus.
This weather freak, however, caus
ed a minimum of 37.4 degrees in the
city and immediate vicinity, and
therefore did away with smudging.
However, Paul Scherer fired at his
orchard in tho Tolo district when tho
temperature reached 112 there, as a
matter of precaution.
The lowest temperature in the val
ley, 29. S degrees, was reported In tho
"Van liovenberg orchard near Gold
Hill.
It was the first time in his years
of frost warning service here that
Floyd Young, whose predictions have
heretofore been true to "a gnat's eye
brow," had been wide of the mark.
When nsked as to this this morn
ing Mr. Young simply said that that
prediction would have proved good in
a normal weather year. Then he
emptied his pockets of some alfalfa
seed, and looked out of the wimlmv.
There seems to bo no frost danger
for tonight or tomorrow, as today was
warm, cloudy and rain-threatening;
the weathev bureau . prediction for
Wednesday being "cloudy and windy'
