A WORD ABOUT THOMPSON SETON.
 The following description of Thomp- son-Seton, a disciple ,of the Modern School of Nature as opposed to the conclusions of naturalists who pursue wild beasts in the bowling wilderness of their studies, by a lady who recent ly heard him ecturc may be of inter- est to all native students: "He is tall, finely built man 43 years of age. His hair is coal black, almost as long as Mark Twain's. His eyes are black, piercing and restless, and taken all in all he is one of the most striking look ing men that 1 have ever seen. He is very proud of his Scotch ancestry, tho to look at him should never sus- pect Scotch blood. There seems to be a strong strain of fiery Southern blood somewhere, probably French. Asa speaker his voice is musical, but is exceedingly powerful and he does seem to me to know how to use it to the best advantage. His flow of language is continuous, his vocabulary extensive, but he speaks with slight accent, so slight as to be almost intangible, yet felt in every sentence. His gestures are quick, nervous, with certain sort of wild freedom, that while not un- graceful, show no signs whatever of the polish of school of elocution. AsI he speaks his eyes dart from face to face with apiercing intensity that is at times startling. The most mark ed impression left upon me was the intense power of the man, not the pow CT quiet, calm, deep, but rather pow CT primitive, passionate, intense and I might add, savage.'

TO PAY VETERANS,
Congress May Pension Survivors of
CayuSe War;

Washington. D. C.-There is little
doubt that at the coming session Of
congress, a bill will be introduced by
some of the members of the Washing
ton or Oregon delegation to pay The
veterans Of the Cayuse Indian war
for their services.
In past years congress has author
ized the pay, directly or indirectly, Of
all those who participated in the 9th
er early Indian wars of the northwest.
but no provision was ever made for
those who participated in the Cayuse
war of 1S47 and 1S4S. This fact has
been emphasized by examination of
the records in the war department,
in connection with the adjudication
of pension claims of those who partic-
ipatedd in this war.
Fro milne to time the war depart
ment is even now allowing claims for
back pay, filed by those who partici-
pated in the Indian wars, other than
the Cayuse, but no claims filed by
participants in that conflict can be
recognized until congress specifically
authorizes the payment.
Probable Allowance.
In case a Cayuse pay bill is passed,
the men will be allowed S11 per
month, and 40 cents day, addition
al, for the maintenance Of a horse,
these being the rates of pay or regu-
lar army men in those days. 1t Will
be useless to attempt TO authorize
Pay in excess of these rates, as that
was not done in the case of other
wars.
The passage of bill on the lines
above indicated would mean a consld-
cradle allowance to between four and
six hundred veterans or their survlv-
ors, for where the veteran is dead
his heirs are entieled to any claims
that may, under future legislation, be
due him.

DRY LAND ALFALFA
II A BIG SUCCESS

Colonel R. c. Judson, industrial

sent out a large number of packets
containing a new species of alfalfa
seed to livestock growers and farmers
on the line of the o. R. & N. When
the alfalfa grows to be sixinches
high" he wrote, ''let me know, and
III tell you what to do next" In all,
81 small plats of ground were sown
with the seed. Thirty-seven Of the
recipients of the seed have respond
ed, and in each case the alfalfa has
thrived luxuriantly. Colonel Judson
is confident that the so other sowings
have done likewise, provided his di-
rections were observed.
Il think We are justified in conclud-
ing" he says, that We have a species
of alfalfa that will grow in the dry
est of soils and produce large quaint

is not ended yet, but from all | have

hams, arrested on a charge of com
plicity in the wholesale murders
brought to light by the confessions OF
Cantrell and MARITIME, the ghoul con.
victs, has confessed to his part of
the crimes. Williams was arrested
yesterday by the detectives and to-
night after three hours of sweating
broke down and made a partial state
ment to the police. He will make a
confession later.
Williams confession brings to light
another murder, that of an unknown
man, who was lured to a lonely spot
along the banks of Fall creek and
there strangled to death. His body
was conveyed to the city in car
rage and at 10 o'clock at night was
carried boldly into the college dissec-
ting room, where it was received by
the demOnstrator
Blood upon the murdered man't
face, his swollen tongue and lips. and
the marks upon his neck indicated
how his end had been accomplished.
Williams also threw additional light
upon the mysterious disappearance
and subsequent murder of Carrie Sell
wage, and also developed the fact that
another murder was committed by
the gang of which neither Cantrill
nor Marine has made mention in
their statements.
AT the time this murder was com
mitted it was recorded by the police
as a suicide, as was the murder of
Patrolman Rosegarten. Upon this
latter murder also Williams has been
able to throw additional light.

And this Corbin who really is the
