PACIFIC CABLE

One of the most interesting features
Of the coming Fourth will be the op-
ening by President Roosevelt of the
American cable 10 Manila. The
work has been pushed In a vigorous,
busnesslike manner. 1t was quite
recently that the cable went into op-
Grafton to Hawaii and now the long
stretch between Honolulu and Manila
will be ready for sbusiness in few
days, with all stations on American
soil. A prediction six years ago that
such thing could happen by 1903
would have been considered wild
flight of the imagination But oul

Of the Pacific, and our own cable fills

Chas. c. Phillips, one Of the oldest
inmates of the Soldiers Home, left
the other day for San Francisco, where
he goes to make his, home with bis.
son, Chas. H. Phillips. Rather a
strange story is connected with the
departure of the old soldier, Some
20 years ago his son. then mere
youth, left Idaho. and went to CALI
fornia to make his fortune. From
thatrtme until now the father has lost
all track ofshim, and did not even
know that he lived. Some weeks ago
when corresponding with relatives,
the father learned that one Chas, Fl.
Phillips was living in San Francisco.
He wrote to the address given him,
and it was established that this was
his son, poW wealthy and prominent
man in that city. AS soon as the re-
lationship was proven, the son seht
transportation for his father to come
and live with him, and the cid niaa
leaves the institution to spend the
rest Of his days in the home OF his son.
Mr.. Phillips, ST., was one Of the first
men to enter the home when it was
established here, and has been there
ever since. He is a pioneer In Idaho
and is we'll known by all of the earl,
settlers. His joy at finding his long
lost son knew no bounds, and hi.
trip to San Francisco will be one of
the happiest events OF his life.
The son is prominent lawyer in
San francisco, and is the president
OF several large mining companies
He lsa man of some wealth and j.
only too glad to give his father the
comforts of his home, and to care TO
him during the remainder Of his life
