CHANGE OF CLIMATE.

One of the ideas that seem to have
perennial existence in the minds of
residents of new countries is that the
climate is changing" A man goes
on the frontier, stays a season or two
finds both alike and says the climate
is great. After a few years, with
slight variations. he thinks there is
only one climate there, and that one
nearly always the same. Then come
changes, and what seems to be alb
normal occurs, and then the climate
is changing 1t mas been shown by
centuries of observation in the older
countries of the world. that the eli
mate does not change. in the sense
OF making a permanent departure
from an established condition but
that no TWO years are exactly alike
Little variations in temperature: or
in the wind direction. or in the rain
fall, or air pressure, make up the nor,
nal changes in any climate. What
has been will be again. and the eli.
mate remains the same, only seeming
to be different to a constantly chang
ing population, whose recouections
are either bad or TOO short IN ru,

A dry season does not mean perpet

means continuing deluge. These

CONFERENCE A HUMMER.

A simmering, sizzling and seething
cauldrOn was the Columbia River
Methodist Episcopal conference yes
terday, in so far as it related to the
charges preferred against Rev. c. D.
Nickeslen, and also to the charges
preferred by that reverend pastor
against Presiding Elder Henry Brown
and Rev. T. G. Rodgson, says the
SpOkesman-Review.
The principal charge made by Rev.
Mr. Nicholson against Rev. Mr. HOdg-
son is that the latter used language
of so lurid a character as to be I'M
printable. in talking about Rev. Mr..
Nicholson at the time Of the COifaX
preachers recent church trial here,
for infatuation with Mrs. O. L. Dun
bar.
1t is a good thing that the confer
ence has no women members, for the
formal charges fled by Rev. Mr.. Nick
eIsen are not suited to reading before
a mixed audience, and on that &C
count, if not for any other, it is prob
able that strong effort will be made
to have the hearing of Mr.. Hodgson
kept secret.
The charges against Elder Brown
as preferred by Rev. Mr.. Nickelsen
are 50 in number, and relate to mis-
management of the trial.
| The charges include specifications
of the alleged prejudice and partial
ity The charges were filed by Rev
Mr.. Nicholson with Bishop Hamilton
some time ago.
The temper Of the conference is IN
questionably in favor Of trying out
all charges in open session. in so ia,

PROTEST NO AVAIL
Fine Old Locust Tree Was
LeveIed Today.
WAS PLANTED IN YEAR OF 1865
Property Owner Gave Orders for lis
Removal, Which Was Viewed
With Sadness by Old Timers.

1t was with much sadness indeed
that several old time residents of
Walla Walla stood around this morn
ing and watched WOrkmen level to
the ground the old locust tree in front
of the Gem saloon in Main street.
Despite the petition Of some 80 old
timers to the council that the relic of
early days be allowed to stand prop
erty owner on whose land part OF
the tree stood is said to have given
orders to the contractors, laying new
concrete walks, that it be removed.
AS there was no alternative but to
obey he order the tree was chopped
down this morning and hauled away
to the city garbage field, surely an
ignoble ending to noble life.
The old tree was planted in the
early days, when Walla Walla was a
mere village. by the late John Justice
and Mike CosgrOve, who owned sa-
loon in Walla WIalla years ago Like
many other old time residents of
Walla Walla Mr.. Cosgrove has passed
on. 1t is quite probable that the Old
tree would not have long survived the
onward march Of progress. The new
cement walks would have deprived
the tree Of the moisture it has been
accustomed to, though its roots were
strong and large as the wOrkmen
found this morning when they started
to chop them out
Mr.. Justice often told me that he
and Mike CCsgTOve planted the tree
in 1865 Harry Poland, proprietor
of the Gem saloon said this morning
as he stood in front Of his place Of
business and watched the workmen
fell the tree. 1.-TWO others were plant
ed at the same time but they died
after reaching quite size and were
cut down. Yes | regret to see the
old tree cut down as many other old
timers DO. 1t has stood for nearly
40 years and was about the only one
of natures relics OF early days left
Many other old timers who witness
ed the removal Of the old tree eX-
pressed regret that a progressive age
should compel the removal Of the old
land mark.

The John Justice" tree, that for
more than a generation has stood on
Main street, has been cut down to
make way for modern improvements.
Many old-timers in WalIa WaIla will
be sorry to see it so. 1t has gone to
join the pioneers that planted it.
