An Angry Mother.

According to a Pendleton paper, au.
thorilies at Weston were subjected to a
disagreeable call from al angry Walla
Walla woman who came over to see
about the incarceration in the Umatilla
county Jail Of one George Pritchard, 27
years old, for alleged intimacy with her
IA year old daughter, Cora Selland, with
whom he travelled to Weston in COM mpany
on canvassing expedition.
The mother claims that she entrusted
her daughter to Pritchard's care, he be.
ing second cousin of the girl, and the
privilege they took OF utilizing blankets
and camp property in common received
her sanction. 1t appears from her story
that she doesn't want any case made Of
it, but how che expects to undo the
action already taken ia unknown. There
is no charge against the daughter, who
was merely held in the sum Of $50 to
appear as witness, and was released
on bail She is described as quite clever
for her age, and glibtongusd canvasser.
The mother is said to be an employe Of
the steam laundry at Walla Walla.

A pleasing feature of the snow was the

their costumes were as pretty and as taste
full as those of actors in a firSt-class dram

of all the costumes, and the horses and
other performing animals were sleek and
fine looking.
The grand free street pageant, which the

TREES IN NEW ZEALAND
The Kauri, Pine, Grows to Enormous
Height

The kauri is the monarch of the New Zea-
land forest, an indigenous pine, growing to
enormous height, frequently eighty feet, be-
fore it sends out bough, while its average
diameter is from eight to nine feet. 1t is
said to be 500 years in reaching maturity.
There is no underbrush in kaur forest,
the prince of trees permitting no rival with
in his domain. The totara is another species
Of pine, which, however, has none OF the
characteristics of the coniIerae of other
countries, either in habit or in appearance.
The most singular of all is the rata, pecul-
lar tree, with somewhat the nature of a par
asite. If it springs up near rimu pine, it
winds about it like huge vine, its tighten
ing coils gradually crushing the life out of
he unfortunate pine. When it reaches the
top it sends out branches and stands ho-
low shell, it's coils knit closely together by
dense networl, of fbers, which appear in the
last stage of its growth. 1t has like atfin-
ity for its own species, and a second rata
slringng up beside one of earlier growth
will absorb and destroy it as it destroys the
rmu. If, however, neither rimu nor rata is
within reach, it grows up respectable and
well behaved tree, attaining a height of
from 80 to so feet, and is used for masts in
shipbulldlng.Th Chautauquan.
