RARE

BOtaniSt of Union
Makes a Dis
cOYery
William C.. CuSick Finds
Only True Specimen
Ever Found In
America

Willldm " CuslCh, u veteran OOldu
ist, of Union, Oregon, passed through
Pepdleton yesterday evening from
walla walla, where he made a scien
tific discovery last week which is Of
almost worldwide significance, from
botanical standpoint.
A short story is necessary to intro
duce the subject intelligently.
In the report of his botanical discov
cries in America, Douglas, the Scotch
botanIst, who spent two years on the
Pacific coast, with the Hudson Bay
Company, in 1S2O-21. reports having
found a very rare specimen Of flower
in the mountain region near the walla
walla camp Of the Hudson Bay Com.
pany.
This flower was so much sought af.
ter in Europe that specimens for do.
mestication could not be found to sup.
ply one-half the demand for il.
II is a most beautiful yellow flower,
with soft, velvet, golden petals. which
grow deeper and richer with cultiva.
ton. Il is more beautiful than the
tulip, and is easily transplanted, being
hardy plant of the north temperate
zone.
Douglas found but one specimen in
America, and that was near old Walla
Walla. Other botanists have since
searched the continent in vain for
the plant, but so far but one man sue.
ceeded in finding one very poor weakly
specimen, which died soon after II
was transplanted. This fortunate sci
enlist was DIR. Nevius. who made many
botanical discoveries in the United
States.
Mr. Cuslck has studied Douglas
Journal OF discovery and looked with
much interest 10 the walla walla re
gion. His niece, Miss Elma Cusick, of
Union, has been student of Whit.
man for the past two years. and each
year her uncle has cautioned her 10
look closely for specimens of the "Yel.
low Lupine." In the flower gardens and
green houses OF Walla Walla.
On a picnic excursion with Whit.
man students Miss Cusick found what
she supposed to be the rare plant, and
Immediately informed her uncle, who
FASTENED TO walla Walla, and lost no
time in Going 70 the scene OF the pic.
mic, on a small stream in the foot OF
the R'ue Mountains, where. after dil.
ligent search, he found numerous
specimens Of the flower in all stages
Of growth.
He has been hunting for this rich
find for 20 years, and lts rediseovery
marks little botanical epoch.
The American name OF the flower Is
the Golden yellow Lupine. and the
Latin name Lupinus Sabinil.
Mr.. Cusiek feels very proud OF his
discovery, and win make every effort
to secure seed thls fam The leading
greenhouses and florists OF the United
States have advertised in vain for
specimens of II TO send to European
customers, and II Mr. Cusick succeeds
in securing the ripened seed, he will
have accomplished no little task in
the interest of science.

A Sad CASE
AIIegedlMurderer's Children in Des-
tltute Circumstances.
Three Come Down in a skif Seeking
Food and Clothing Last Night.

Few cases Of such abject poverty
and restitution as that of the children
OF Frank Cowau ever came under the
notice OF the local authorities.
Last night three of them, the oldest
siboy about 10 or 10, came ldown the
river from their boat, eight miles
above the city, in q skiff, to secure
food and clothing. They were scsnti-
ly clad, and reported to the officers at
the city hall that they had nothing to
eat at home, and had practically been
without food for several days past,
when their father killed Warren Wood
ward, a farmer of that section of Liv
ingston county, and skipped out, last
Monday night
Their appearance bore out their sto-
ry. There are six or seven OF the chill
dren besides the mother, and they
have been housed ON the boat all this
time with scarcely any food, clothing
or fuel, ana the children who came
here seemed TO be half star sed
Chief Collins and City Jailer Tom
Evitts promptly took them in hand
and provided them with clothing and
food for themselves and the othe RS,
and sent them back. Chief Collins
saya it is one Of the saddest cases he
ever saw. II is not known what will
become Of the unfortunate people, as
they seem to be without friends or the
means of earning a livelihood, but To-
cal authorities will do all possible for
them.

USES THE Ak.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT FINDS
THE EXERCISE VERY IN.
VIGORATING.

Washington, Jan. 26-The mystery
Of President Roosevelt's visits to q
forest near Tennallytown has been
cleared up.
The president goes out there during
the early morning and spends an hour
welding an AK against the trees of the
forest.
He ia accompanied in this latest
effort to rid himself of his surplus en-
ergy by Clifford Pinchot, forester OF
the department of agriculture.
The forest near Tennallytown be-
longs to the Dutch Reformed church,
which President Roosevelt attends.
The trees on the land are so close
together that they do not have q
chance to grow, and the trustees Of
the church determined to thin them
out
They asked President Roosevelt to
request Forester Pinchot to visit the
land and mark the trees which should
be removed.
The president replied that he would
attend to the matter, so he notified
Mr.. Pinchot to be on hand early In
the morning with a couple of axes.
The president and the forester, after
deciding that a tree should be remov-
ed, proceeded TO remove il.
Fully fifty big trees have been re-
moved by the presidential AK.

Smith, smyth and Smith.

1t is curious how the little letter ~"
has proved huge differentium. For,
whereas the Smiths" as a rule, have
been money making, the "Smyths"
have shown themselves chlvalrous and
aristocratic. While the Smiths were
Roundhead the Smyths suffered for
Tory or Jacobte principles, according
to the London Mail. Apropos Of these
variations In the spelling Of the great
patronymic Mr.. Compton Reade pro-
pounds theory which should prove OF
comfort TO both branches of the fam
fly. He hotly combats the notion that
the Smyths, Smythes and Smiths have
assumed variation Of spelling to lend
an aristocratic flavor to a homely name.
Nothing" he declares, 'can be further
from the truth. The original form was
Smyth, just as the modern cider is a
corruption of the ancient 'cyder.' So
far from the Smyths having Smythed
themselves l can discover barely one
notable instance of the change from

him while he enjoyed the fragrant

She was with him, too, when his

eyes to grow yellow, and a wave OF
chalky wilderness overspread his face.
Nice cigar, isn't itf" she said in
her pleasant way. so soothing and
restful and enjoyable. Don't you find
II so?"
The boy couldn't steady his voice
sufficiently to reply but he forced
himself to take another pun, and
when his hand with the cigar in 1t
dropped he give the smoldering thing
a glance that expressed nothing but
the deepest athing.
