MANY KENTUCKY WANDERERS RETURN.
''tlOme-Coming Week" Celebration Starts
off AuspiciousIY in Louisville.

off AuspCiOusIy in Louisville.
A Louisville dispatch says: Willis
rain Wednesday caused a postpone
ment of the outdoor features of the
Homecoming week, it was unable to
affect the fervor of the greeting ex-
tended by Kentucky to her long alb
sent sons and daughters, and the ex-
ercises of welcome day, which were
conducted in the armory on Walnut
street, we're carried through in a man
ner both brilliant and gratifying.
Despite the fact that the rain fell
heavily just prior to the hour at
which the days program was to COM
mence, fully 10000 people were pres
ent. The visitors could not but be
charmed by the warmth of the wei
come that was extended to tnelu.
Mayor Bath greeted them in behalf
of the people of Louisville, and Gov
ernor Beckham expressed in an elo-
ouent manner the pleasure felt by
the people of the state at large IN
having them back once more.
The address of Henry Watterson
was. however, the formal note Of well
come, and it struck responsive
chord. No audience could ask for
more graceful welcome, no speaker
could desire a warmer appreciation
than was rendered by the listeners to
Mr.. Watterson.

If a house contains six bureaus,
eleven armoires, seven chiffoniers
and fifty-three miscellaneous drawers,
how many of 'em is the husband en-
titled to, and how many is the wife?''
asked the young club man.
The second club man laughed
harshly.
You are young and have much to
learn he said. You may as well
understand first as last that if there
were in your house a mile of bureaus,
three acres of armoires and 1900
drawers, all these would stiI1 be
stuffed full of wells, ruching, hatpins,
silk stockings, petticoats, powder
puffs, and safety pins, and the best
course for you to pursue would be to
wrap your own things-your shirts,
underclOthes and so on-in a news
paper and keep them under the bed"

The following morning Leola was
seated at the open window OF the
oroakfest-room, with a book in her
hand, vainly trying to read.
Breakfast had been disposed of half
an hour ago, Mrs. Wetherell was in
deep conference with the housekeeper
respecting dinner-party for the fol-
lowing night-Leola's first dinner
party for the following night
-Leola's first dinner~party. and
therefore an important affair-and
Leola was, as We have said, trying

Scarcely day had passed since she
had first seen Philip Dyce standing in
the hall on the day OF her arrival but

she had met him. and gradually that

Leola opened her lips; she was go

friend; it was generous impulse, but

stead.

recently arrived at Khartoum in the
shape of the late Sultan Iambio's

wide, and requires eight or ten men
to carry it.-Wide World Magazine.

PONIES FOR CALIFORNIa.
j. W. Shiplcy Makes His Fifth Ship
ment of Umatilla Indian Ponies to
Santa Barbara.

For the fifth time in the past year
]. w. Shipley has returned to Pen
dleton to ship out a number of Uma-
tilla Indian ponies for the Sunnyside
Shetland farm at Santa Barbara. Cal
About a year ago Mr.. Shipley made
his first visit to this city and was so
forcibly impressed with the spotted
ponies seen on the Umatilla reser-
walton that he sent a trial shipment of
80 head to his farm for the purpose
of crossing them with Shetland stall
lions and also to train for use in single
and tandem teams and for polo ponies
in the pleasure resorts of southern
California.
The ponies proved to be so admira--
bly, adapted to these uses that he has
sent out over 100 head and is now
in the city for the purpose of buying
a shipment of 80 or S5 more.
Spotted ponies, and those having
special combinations of odd colors
are especially desired by Mr.. Shipiey
and he has already succeeded in find
ing a number suitable to his uses

An outlet for the hordes OF poverty
stricken classes of England has been
discovered by Baron Rothschild, Of
London, who will send at least 200
families from the slums of the English
capital to Canadian wheat lands in
the northwest provinces.
f. G. Harbolt. formerly of Winni-
Rothschild, passed through Pendleton
today on o. r. & n. train No. l, en-
route to Portland, from where he
goes to Victoria. where he will make
arrangements to settle a number of
families on Canadian wheat land this
spring.
The families will be furnished with
transportation. and sufficient means
with which to raise one crop after
which they will be expected to repay
the funds loaned them by Rothschild,
in small annual payments.
An unlimited number of poor fami
lies may be located in this way and
Mr.. Harbolt believes 1t will eventually
settle the question of London's poor.
Similar policies will be inaugural
ed by Rothschild and other rich Eng
lishmen in South Africa, Australia and
South America, II arrangements can
he made with the different govern
ments to permit such colonization.
While It Is admittedly a system of
peonage, or contract labor, yet it is
said to be one of the most practical
schemes for the relief of the great
hordes Of English poor, ever inaugur-
ated.
None but deserving, thrifty families
will be selected for these colonies,
and thus first-class, energetic, coun-
try population will be built up from
the idle hordes that are today living
from hand to mouth in the crowded
centers of the British Isles.
Mr.. Harbolt will go east by way of
the Canadian Pacific to organize and
conduct his first colony, some time in
March, expecting to arrive In Canada
in time to plant crops this year.

Although Grand Ronde valley has
been the chief settlement of the Nor
mons in Oregon for the past six years
the first public knowledge of polyga-
nous practices in this state was
brought to light at La Grande yester-
day, when a message was received to
the effect that Cecil Plant. a young
Mormon Of that city, had been ar
rested in San Francisco on charge
of polygamy.
In December, 1905, less than two
months ago, Miss Mary May. a daugh-
ter of a prominent Fruitvale orchard
ist, living a mile north of La Grande.
went to Salt Lake City to wed Plant,
who had been a resident of Union
county for some time, but who form
erly came from Davis, Utah.
Plant and his bride lived together
but a few weeks, when he left for San
Francisco, on business. After his
marriage to Miss May. it became
known that he already had one wife
in California and this marriage to the
Union county girl was therefore In
violation of the law, although it had
been sanctioned by the church. A
warrant was at once issued for his
arrest and word was received in La
Grande last evening that he was in
custody in San Francisco. He will be
taken to Davis, Utah, for trial.
This is the fret sharge of polygamy
ever made against a Union county
Mormon.

Ground Hogs Day.

According to the dignified traditions
of the American, today. February 2. is
ground hog day." Today the
ground hog is supposed to awaken
from the sleep Of the winter and come
to the daylight to prognosticate the
weather. 1t is said il he sees his
shadow today that he will go back
and remain in Information for six
weeks, while If it is so cloudy that he
cannot see his shadow the winter is
broken and he will remain out. As
this forenoon was partly clear it is
evident that he saw his shadow and
will therefore seclude himself from
mortal view for the traditional six
weeks.
