Total Destruction of a Large Number of Orchards in Bearing, Importations From California Must Be Made to Supply the i Demard | TACOMA, Wash,, Dec. 8.—The greatest damage by the recent cold weather is just now coming to light. Heavy frosts have | caused the total destruction of a large number of orcharde, boti: on Puget Sound | anc across the Cascade Mountains. Prune, peach and apple trees have been destroyed | by the thousand. The apple trees are | thought to be damaged the least. Editor Scobey of the Olymuvian, pub- iished at Olympia, brought the news to- day that practically all ths Italian prune trees in Thurston County were frozen by the severe weather of the later part of November, when for a week the mercury | ranged from 10 to 32 degrees above zero. He estimated the loss in Thurston County alone at 100,000 trees, many of them of four, five and six years’ growth, and some bearing this year for the first time. Mr. Scobey says he has no donbt that when the trees are examined in ail parts ot W n Waslington, where the weather was extremely ccld, they will be found lifelesss. AtOlympia the'mercury dropped to a little below zero. At Walla Walla and in | Whitman County it went down to twenty | degrees below zero, kiliing thousands of trees. cold weather as that is experi- enced every yesar, but not so early in the sea The fall has been unusually | pleasant and warm, with the result that | much sap was still left in the bodies of the | trees. When the weather suddenly changed from summer to extreme winter it froze the sap. Reports from the Yakima and We- natchee valleys further north are to the| same effect. Peach and Italian prune trees suffered the most there, . Not sinc 1881 has such severe weather been experi- ‘ enced in the Northwest in November. | The fruil-growers are badly discouraged, but as rapidly as possible will replenish | their orchards with new trees. Fruit-raising has been counted one of the prospective great indusiries of the State on account of the splendid product | raised here and the fine market obtained | in the East. During the past season over | 600 carloads of prunes and other green | fruit were shipped from Walla Walla alone. Commencing six or sevea years | ago a large proportion of new settlers pur- | chased fruit land either along Puget | Sound or the valleys of Eastern Washing- | ton. Both the soil and the climate of tke | Puget Sound country have been pro-| nounced by experts to_be particularly fa- | vorable to the growth of prunes, and hun- dreds have engaged in the business. | Many growers expected to get their first | full crop next year and were preparing to erect dr Now they must wait six or seven years more. The damage is found | to be greatest on the uplands away from | the water. | It is understood that orchards in Oregon sustained similar though perhaps less ex- tensive damages. Because of home pro- duction importations of California fruit have been growing smaller for a number | years, but they will now have 10 be de- | pended upon to agair supply the North- | | | | Association held theirannual election last night. The directors chosen for the en- suing year were: Captain John Field, president; F. Alberiz, vice-president; M. Menihan, Charies E. Hombert and F. W. Brush, trustees. George B. Baer was ap- pointed secretary and the Bank of Clover- dale treasurer. The president’s report for the past year shows the affairs of tne asso- ciation to be in a_tlourishing conaition. The large pavilion is about completed and new stock is being subscribed for almost every day. Preparations for the dedica- tion exercises and masquerade ball are going on merrily. The citrus fair will be held about the midd'e of February. & wig iy SAILORS GIVE TESTIMONY. One of the British Witnesses at Victoria Admits That He Pre- varicated. VICTORIA, B. C., Dec. 8.—Before the Bering Sea Commission, William T. Bragg, mate of the schooner Mary Ellen in 1886, was exarained as to the ocatches his vessel made in Bering Sea during that season. He stated that the whale catch of the schooner was 2395, or inclnding the coast catch 4264, the high line catch of any vessel until 1894, 3 Next, Owen Thomas, who was pilot of the Carolena in the spring of 1886, stated that the object of the trip to Neuchatlitz in that February was not to trade, but to secure an Indian crew, and though sup- plies were landed as stated by Witness Spring on Monday, they were taken on board again as an Indian crew could not be secured. Parts of the evidence of Andrew Lang, who i3 ill in bed, were read, stating that the schooner W. P. Sayward had caught seals in Bering Sea in 1887 and admit- ting that the declaration he had made after the seizure of the vessel that no skins had been taken by the Sayward in Bering Sea was not true. This last state- ment wus used by the United States Con- sul to attack the credibility of the witness. Victor Jacob-on, captain and owner of the schooner Mountain Chief, in his -evi- dence as to his 1887 caich, stated the num- ber 1182, as given in the official “report of the fisheries department, was not correct and was guesswork, as he had not re- ported to the department, nor were the sealers in 1886 or 1887 required by 'the Government to report the number of their cateh. Captain J. D. Warren, the next witness, whose schooner, the Dolphin, was seized by the Kush in 1887, gave his cateh in 1886 | as 2205 in Bering Sea and explained that | the figures he had compiled at Ottawa | when the claims first came up- did not | exactly tally in some instances with the figures now given because he had not then been in a position to get as definite in- formation. Captain William O'Leary of the schooner Patbfinder said he brought the schooner out of Bering Sea before the season was over both in 1886 and 1887 because- he was afraid of seizure. He had in 1886 176 { in Bering Sea. Gustay Hansen, master of | the German schooner Adeis, gave the | same reason as Captain O’Leary for not aying all the season of 1886 in Bering a, and Emil Bambosa, who was on the | Theresa, which sealed through the season | of 1886, said his schooner caught 2100 skins.

Hosford at Her Mountain Home Near Portiand. PORTLAND, Or., Dec. 8.—Mrs. C. O. Hosford, wife of Rev. C. 0. Hostord, died at ber home on the western slope of Mount Tabor last night. She had been ailing more or less for the past three years, and her deati was not wholly unexpected. During ber long sickness she maintained ber character as a sturdy pioneer woman, and bore her afflictions with patience and firmness. Mrs. Hosford was among the very early pioneers, first of California and then of Oregon. She went to California with her two brothers from Kentucky in 1843, and was one of the tive or six women who were in the territory of California. She was married in the Golden State. With her husband she came to Oregon in 1849, and settled on a donation land claim at Salem. Mr. Hosford became a Methodist missionary in the new country, his wife sharing all the hardships and privations incident to such work at that time. She greatly supplemented bis work by her belping hand, and not a few still survive to remember her kindly deeds among the early settlers, In 1861 the Hosfords moved to their present home, which is on the western slope of Mount Tabor, where they have lived for the past thirty-five years. No woman of the neighborhood was wider or better known than Mrs. Hosford. Her Christian character was exemplified in her everyday life. When she died she had rounded out 68 years and 11 months. She had eight children, six of whom are now living in Portland. Her venerable hus- band survives her. il ialab s bl ON TRIAL AT SaNT4 ROSA, Petaluma Man Accused of Insulling a ASchool Zeacher.

He was introduced by President Philip Morse of the Chamber of Com- merce as a man high in financial circles of Chicago, and one who was accustomed to carrying out any undertaking he en- gaged in. Mr. Potter said he had been at work on the matter two years. ‘I cast about for the best American port,”” he said, “‘and fixed upon San Diego by reason of its zeographical position, its fine climate and immunity from ice, snow and blockades on the railroads, and also by reason of ‘its railroad .connections. and rails direct from the bay of San Diego to Chicago, making the best overliand road on the continent. “Now the plan of operation is substan- tially this: To build steamships of at least 8000 tons register and twenty knots speed.

We propose to incorporate with a capital stock of $5,000,000. Stock subscriptions for that amount, however, cannot be ob- tained in these times, and so only $3,000,- 000 will be issued. We must, therefore, issue bonds, secured by steamships, which I have every assurance cam be placed.

But we do ask that Southern Caliiornia make a sub- stantial effort to aid us, and show that we far as vou are able of this part of the coun- try.

Demonstration in the President’s Honor at Guadalojaro. BAN DIEGO, CaL., Dec. 8,—President Diaz of Mexico arrived in the city of Guadalajara on Sunday morning after a trip through the intervening cities and towns that took on the nature of a triumph. The popularity of Mexx_eos chief executive was never so manifest among all classes of his countrymen. Banners waved, bands played and troops were lined up to receive him as he traveled. At Guadalajara a great demonstration was made. The troops of that city and vicinity were massed on the public squares and volleys were fired as tl}a dis- tinguished visitors arrived. _The military and civil authorities of the city qnd of the State of Jalisco greeted the President and ex'}ended the heartiest welcome. 1 At he poorer people were presen nuombers and many of them who had fought with Diaz in the wars were recoz- nized by mm and received a wave of the bat or a handshake from “Don Porfirito, as the older Mexicans affectionately refer to him. The Guild of Cargadores of Gua- dalajara presented to General Diaz a life size bust of himself, made by Panduro, the famous Indian sculptor of that city, whose work has won fame for him among all who have traveled in Mexico. A section of arlillery arrived at Guada- lajara before General Disz’ arrival, and a national salute was fired in his honor.
