advertising as a wonderful novelty, the
bird of paradise plant, our own friend

the plant that drapes itself in leaves as
fine as lace and wears a bonnet of scarlet
and gold that aprinces might well envy.

Speaking of the recent big reun.
ion the Columbus Advocate editor
writes as follows:
"The grounds are wonderfully
picturesque yet one does not realize
it from the approach. The entrance
is from fiat farming country and
you do not realize you are attaining
a considerable elevation as you fol-
low the wooded paths, until on the
crest of a high hill you see city OF
tents in orderly fashion clean and
inviting, frost white canvas and lin
en- furnishings making one long to
tarry there. On the eastern edge
the hill drops abruptly to fiat lit
tie valley two hundred feet below.
1t is go steep that one must go a
long distance to find safe path
way down. The little valley is per-
haps 300 yards wide, it's outer edge
being'the well defined channel of
Spring river with its peilucid wat
ers carrying gay parties of young
people in pleasure boats. Then the
forest eats up the balance of the
scene and your eyes must wander
over miles of beautiful farm homes
to TIE east in which now live come
'ot the really notable men whose pc
riod in life furnished the incidents
now being celebrated in oratory
and in the delightful exchange OF
reminiscence. 1t is truly au inspir.
alton of a deep and kindly interest
in humanity. for you to see 1t all
here, nearly every condition as to
affluence or poverty or as to culture
and mental development. The ge'
MUS of good nature presided over
it all. There were no harsh words
nor clouded faces. Contentment
and kindly sentiment prevailed.
And another thing. The mind that
would accuse that crowd of simple
hearted pleasure seekers of gross
ness or of the forbidden sensuali-
ties would be a prurient mind seek.
ing the foul things 1t is fed upon
and expecting what it looked for.
We feel like going ahead and writ
ing indefinitely about the Baxter
reunion. It is all right. 1t is one
of the conspicuous incidents of each
wear and on the national calendar
of events. But here's quitting for
this time with the wish it may
grow and prosper"

HUNT UPTON CASE CONCLUDED
AS FAR AS EVIDENCE is CON-
CERNE0.
Upton Claimed Hunt Had Not Car
/; ried Out Promises Made When
Subsidy Was Asked For.

The civil suit of G. w. Hunt versus
c. B. and w. H. Upton was resumed
in the superior court this morning.
The plaintiffs announced that their
case was finished late yesterday after
noon and an adjournment was taken
until $3.50 this morning, when the de-
Tense opened its case. w. H. Upton,
one Of the defendants, was the first
witness called.
On direct testimony he claimed that
Mr.. Hunt had not lived up to his part
of the contract that ne entered into
with those who pledged subsidies. In
this respect he called attention to the
fact that the road had not been built
on the original route from Hunts
Junction to Walla Walla. He main
tanned that the main line Of the road
twas to run clear through Eureka
Flat, form a big loop and connect
with Prescott, Waitsburg and Day.
ton, bringing all the Eureka Flat and
upcountry products direct to Walla
Walla, making this point the termin-
us for all the shipping. Instead a
branch or spur had been constructed
from Eureka up through the Flat to
Pleasant View. This service was in
adequate, he claimed, for farmers
owning land on the Flat and living in
Walla Walla and he maintained that
this invalidated any contract he had
signed with Mr. Hunt.
On cross examination it was SHOWN
that the spur from Eureka Flat had
been built in time to ship G. B. Up
tons wheat in the fall of 1888, the
time the Hunt system of roads was be-
Ting built.
The defense rested it's case at noon
and this afternoon the arguments are
being made.

WANTS ROOT TO DIG CANAL.
But Secretary of State Objects to the
Plan of Secretary of War.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-Secretary
Taft is strongly in favor of transfer
ring the Panama canal commission and
the work of the construction Of the
canal to Secretary of State Root, but
Mr.. Root is far from anxious to as
sumo the responsibility. Secretary
Taft now has charge of all the work
relating to the army and the Panama
canal, and is willing that Mr.. Root
relieve him of some of mis- 1abors.
When Secretary Taft reached San
Francisco on his return from the ORR
ent he first learned that Mr.. Root
would again enter the cabinet. He
then wired President Roosevelt that
he, Mr.. Taft, recognized the superior
executive ability of Mr.. Root, that Mr..
Root also, had great constructive
ability, and in addition had done con-
siderable work in connection with the
canal, and suggested that the presi-
dent turn this work over to Mr. Root.
President Roosevelt took up the
question with Mr.. Root, but Mr. Root
declared he had no insular division to
assist him in doing the work. The
matter rests with the president, and
the question of the transfer will be
decided soon.
