Mr. Prince said that he was in

learned that our climate was similar
to that Of England. where walnuts
have long been successfully grown.

The trees are very hardy and Mr..
Prince has not lost dozen trees in

Mr.. Prince did not recommend the
grated trees on account of its cost,
scarcity, lack of vigor and tardiness
about coming into bearing. He ad-
vised planting nothing but second
generation trees, that is, seedlings
raised from nuts from grated trees.
All such nuts had to be imported
from France. He was now importing
nuts from that country for his own
paintings.
The story that he planted nuts from
his own trees was pure fabrication.
He had not done so and would not do
SO, nor had he ever knowingly sold .

make third generation trees, whose
product would be inferior in every
respect.

be satisfied with $50 to 800. and that

STATUE OF SACAJAWEA.
Story of the Indian Maiden Who Pilot
ed Lewis and CIark-Result of
Moman's Work.

Mrs. Eva Emery Dye, Of Oregon
City, Ore, wrote book on very old
subject, but she treated it in another
way. This book, "The Conquest" was
the history of the Lewis and Clark ex.
petition, with which every school
child is familiar, but she brought out
a most refreshing incident showing
the invaluable services rendered the
expedition by one woman.
A number of women of Portland,
Ore, banded together under the name
Of the Woman's Club, felt in duty
bound to honor the memory OF that
one woman, Sacajawea. Mrs. Dye was
elected president of O. Sacajawea
Statue Association. With woman's wit
they found various methods to acquire
the necessary $1,000 to erect the
statue. Even with all the money pro.
cured the association found itself in
a quandary until Mrs. Henry Waldo
Coe, through the generosity Of her
husband, came to the rescue with the
copper for the casting. And this lat.
ter gift was by no means inconsider'
able, for it means nearly ten tons OF
pure copper, not to speak Of the ex'
penses for smelling and shipping the
ore across the continent.
And after all it was but fitting that
this statue should be erected, for had 1t
not been for Sacajawea the Lewis and
Clark expedition would never have
lived to bring under the American flag

mots, brilliant repartee and strong,
often amusing accent, appeal to the
fair sex and make their society much
sought.
Social intrigue was exhausted in the
efforts to secure invitations to this
never-to-be-forgotten reception.
Ambitious mothers with eligible
daughters were especially eager to
have their fair ones adorn the galaxy
of beautiful women and gallant men.
The beauty and brilliancy of the dip
lomats' gold and jewelled grand crosses
Is best seen at this reception. Here
are given illustra tons of some of the
decorations which delighted the eyes
of President Roosevelt's guests.
The Order of St. Stanislaus.
The newly appointed Russian Am.
bassador, Baron Rosen, was decorated
with the famous Polish Order of st.
Stanislaus, founded in 1875 in honor Of
Poland's patron saint by Stanislaus
Augustus Peniatowski. In 1915 EN-
peror Alexander confirmed the order,
and Tsar Nicholas, in 1881, united it
with the Russian orders. Russian
priests are excluded from the order.
1t is one of the few to which pension
is attached, which does not detract
from its popularity.
The order decorates Russia's most
distinguished soldiers and statesmen,

RESPLENDENT DIPLOMATS.

Paris Statue of Franklin,

The two hundredth anniversary Of
the birth Of Benjamin Franklin on the
18th Of January has brought to light
the regard with which that philosopher
and statesman is esteemed, not only by
Americans, but by foreigners as well.
The memory of Franklin, as first min
lister OF the United States to France, IS
much revered in the capital of that
country, and it is quite fitting that the
first statue to him in foreign cline
should be unveiled in Paris.
AS early as May % last Mr.. John H.
Harjes, at present the resident mem
Der in Paris of the firm of Morgan, Har.
jes & Co., formulated an offer to Paris
officials of bronze statue of Franklin.
While it was originally intended that
the gift to Paris of the statue should

that vast and rich country drained by
the Columbia River.
Sacajawea, when but thirteen years
old, was stolen from her people-the
Shoshones-and became slave to the
Dakotas. They treated her well, how
ever, and at the age of eighteen they
sold her to French fur-trader, Char
boneau, who made her his wife, prom
Using that he would, in time, take her
to her own people. Shortly after this
the Lewis and Clark expedition, with
its motley band, came along, making
their winter quarters in that section
which Is now the southern part of the
Dakotas. The expedition needed q
guide, and Charboneau learning of
this, told his wife that by guiding the
party she would have chance to find
her own people. She offered her serv-
ices to the pioneers, which were &C.
cepted; Charboneau was hired as
cook.
During the winter, while the party
was making preparations for moving
forward next spring, Sacajawea gave
birth to boy baby; yet, not to be de-
TERED in her hope OF again being
united to her people, and with her
baby on her back, she led the party
over the rugged mountains to the head
waters Of the Columbia.
Before reaching the end of the jour-
ney the explorers came across the
tribe from which the Western heroine
had been stolen. Her own people en-
deavored to persuade her to remain
with them. Sacajawea had given her
word to guide the men to the Pacific
Ocean and she was not to be swerved
from keeping her promise. This Is
the story which Mrs. Dye has set forth
in "The Conquest" All through the
book Is full of little incidents of the
bravery Of the woman guide, how she
saved the band from humiliation at
the hands of an unfriendly Indian
tribe, the leader of whom was her
brother. Mrs, Dye brings out into the
light the story of Lewis and Clark
themselves, in which they give SAGA
jawea the credit for having saved their
lives and having made possible the
success of their expedition.
And SO this country now gives recog-
milton to her services through the
agency Of woman. A statue has been
erected to a woman through the aid
of woman; Miss Alice Cooper, of Den
yer, was the designer; Mrs. Dye and
her woman friends procured the funds
for the monument and a woman con-
tributed the necessary metal.
