peath 81 Teaple Houston.

The death Of Temple Houston
reduces that little band Of unique
survivors Of an earlier day in Tex.
as to i scattered few, who, col
leCtively, can scarcely do as much
towards preserving the traditions
OF the "wild and woolly" West as
did he. Although only 45 years
old at the time Of his death, he
had been very active in various
eccentric directions calculated to
attract attention, and his record
as . ''gun fighter" was well es.
tablished.
Temple Houston, both by hered.
ity and environment, came honest
ly by his fearless disposition and
marked physical peculiarities.
He was the youngest SON OF Gen
eral Sam Houston, formerly gov
ernor OF Texas, and the idol Of
those sturdy pioneers who set
tied that great territory between
the Red river and the Rio Grande.
Naturally this stalwart son who
40 much resembled his lAther fell
heir to the admiration that was
universally bestowed ON theslatter.
When Oklahoma was opened to
settlement Temple Houston went
into the new territory, together
with large colony OF other Tex.
ans, and it was there that he
established himself and acquired
his idiosyncratic reputation. For
many years he practiced law in
(. Oklahoma, BUTT was probably the
strangest legal career of any man
who has ever attempted to make
a living at the bar. 1t was rule
of Houston's life that he would
never prosecute a man or woman
on any charge whatever. This
limited his practice to defending
criminal cases, in which he was
wonderfully successful. But per
haps the strangest part of his law
practice was that he never charged
fee. These oddities were Ger.
tainly enough to distinguish him
in his profession, though he was
also a man of wonderfully persua-
sive eloquence. Indeed, he de-.
depended more on his own ability
as a pleader before jurors than up.
on the testimony.
The youngest Of the Houstons
resembled his rugged old father in
many ways, but in none more than
in his love of display. Tall, OF
striking phsiogLomy, ideal phys
ique and splendid carriage, he
would have attracted attention any
where. But his habit Of wearing
cowboy attire with high boots,
broad brimmed hat and hair shout
der length made Of him indeed a
striking figure. He prided him
self upon his nimble dexterity with
q ''gun," and was fond of exhibit
ing his skill before the open
mouthed but nervous admiration
of a crowd of Ftenderfeet." 1t
must be said to the credit of Okla
homa that during the later years
of his life Houston's opportunities
for picturesque ostentation we're
limited and that he was almost as
much of an anachrOnism on the
streets If Guthrie ais he would
have been in the lobby of the st.
Regis, New York.

RIVER AND HARBOR BILL

gonian says: Chairman Burton of the
house rive and harbors committee. has
EXPIRE Sed The belief that his bill. con-
sider;i;fon of which was begun in the
house Wednesday morning. will pass
both houses and become law before
March :.
There has been a growing fear that
this bill would be sidetracked, not only
because of the demand of party lead
ers for economy. but because of the un-
precedentedly late date in bringing it
up for consideration. Only few days
remain to pass il through both houses
and through conference. less time than
was ever before given any river and
harbor bill.
Burton. however. says the shortage
of time is q strong factor in favor of
the passage of the bill. 1t will induce
the senate TO make only slight amend
ments, for fear of losing what is pro-
posed by the house. He says that un-
less the senate loads the bill down with
large amendments, il will pass with
out material objection. carryinw prac-
tically the appropriations agreed to by

Especial Staff Correspondent
BOISE. Feb. 27.-What promises to
be the last bin introduced in the house
of representatives at this session OF the
legislature has been presented by Rep
resentative Ainey Of Canyon county.
1t follows both the deficiency and the
general appropriation bills, and it is
hardly probable that other measures
will be presented before the end of the
session. This bill is of great interest
to the fruitgrowers of the state. 1ts
principal section being as follows:
There shall be levied and collected
annually, as provided for the collection
Of other taxes. a tax OF 10 cents per
acre upon all lands cultivated to fruit
trees int his state and a tax Of five
cents per lot upon all town and city
lots having FRUIT rees of any descrip-.
ton thereon: all moneys derived from
said tax shall be paid to the state
treasurer and shall be expended under
the direction of the state board of hor-
ticultural inspection only for the pur-
pose of preventing the spread of in
fectious diseases and fruit pests on or
among trees, plants. cuttings. CRAFTS,
scions buds and all other horticultural
material"
of the session. it is hardly probable
that the law will pass at this session
of the Legislature.

Many of the coins have been found in

In Tacoma says the only way to detect

of the officers that the bad money is
being made in the east and sent here

do not come that the crop Of this coun-
try will be materially cut down.
Mr.. Ryrie is connected with the firm

think it possible that the company
would build warehouses this year. He
returned to his home Sunday morning.
