Ben Cravens of Fort Smith made short but impressive talk, dwell- ing on the merits and faithfulness of the deceased, aud during parts of the speech he brought tears to the eyes of those present as he called to mind the homecoming of the departed and other similar scenes, closing with few good words of the uses and benefits of Woodcraft.
 After the speaking several good pictures were taken of the monu- ment and the people by Photog- raphers Caldwell and Hiltebrand, and then the people started for their homes and the order escort ed Mrs. Lauford back to the city.

AN ARKANSAS
 ROMANCE

 Married 8 Year Ago.
By J L Carraway.

 st general assembly, and Miss Ella Hudgins have been married uore than a year before 1t was .pnounced, caused considerable ;ussrest all over the state. Mir. u,rst was one of the most promi ..oat members of the last legisla- ,,re and not once in all the time whi,h has elapsed since their wedding had any one suspected the ,ruth Miss Hudgins is one of the yueetest and most popular young ladies of Fayetteville, capital of Washington county and the sl Q ofthe State University. Last year she was a student III the univer s;tv. Mir. Hurst was then stu dent in the university and last week eceived his diploma, grad uatiue with honors. He received the degree of B. A. Wednesday, Iuue 20, from the hands of Hon. Jefferson Davis, governor Of the state of Arkansas.
 The young people had been sweethearts for many years. This was Mir. Hurst's last year in college. and the friends Of the couple had been expecting an announcement of their engage ment. Miss Hudgins had been acting cashier for the Whittmore Dry Goods Company since leaving the university year ago, and when, few weeks ago, she re- signed that position, the gossips of the village were certain that the marriage was but a question of time. One day last week 
 crowd of the young people of the neighborhood gathered at the home of Mir. Whittmore, and plans for the elopement of Mir. Hurst and Miss Hudgins. who were present, were discussed. At last it was voted that the whole party should drive 10 Springdnle, aud there be married. Then it was that Mir. and Mrs. Hurst an- nouuced that they had been mar ried on the street in Fayette vile, ou the night of June l2. l9C5, by Rev. J. C, Kilgore, Methodist minister of that place. The night the ceremony was performed MT. Hurst, with Miss Hudgins and Miss Willie Whittmore, had started 10 an entertainment to be given at the university. Al Gregg street, by previous arrangement, MT. kilgore. met the party and there, in the shadows cast by the huge trees at the intersection of the streets, the happy couple were made man and wife. They continued to the entertainment, and no announcement was made until this week.
 In order to better guard his secret. MT. Hurst procured the license from Circuit Clerk J. N. Chllders of Lawrence county. MT. Childers, Mir. KiIgore, Miss Willie Whittmore and the con- tracling parties were all who Knew of the wedding, and they oemonstrated their ability to Keep secret, to the extent that me most intimate friends O. MT. and Mrs. Hurst never had sus- p'ciou that they were man and wife.
 Tue foregoing appeared in the Fort Smith Times of last Sunday, accompanied by the pictures of MT and Mrs. Hurst. Mrs. Hurst ls a daughter of the late Holder naagins, who died at his home 'a Dallas few years ago, and asls'er of Hamp Hudgins, the well known civil engineer. MT ana Mrs. Hurst came iu Friday. as stated in the Star. and are now ''sl'lng relatives and friends in 'uls city and at Old Dallas.

be a pressing demand for cheap IA
cilities. There will be more business
than the cities and private compa-
nies, combined, can handle. Develop
ment will outrun the facilities, Just
rs the growth OF the country in the
Past few years has outrun the capaci-
ties of the railroads.
The business men on the city coun-
Gil must certainly realize the magni-
ficent promise of the future. With
the rich irrigated belt in the west end
of the county settled thickly with
families and with Pendleton the CEN
ter and distributing point for this en-
tire section of Oregon, there will be
a demand for electric car lines, elec-
tric lights. cheap power for manufac-
turing and other uses for electricity.
The electric age is just dawning.
Pendletoh should be ready to meet
the demands OF the future. The time
10 prepare for such emergencies is
before they arrive. Pendleton is to be
yhe center of a vast irrigated terri
tory. Electric car lines will radiate
from this city toward the Columbia
river, into the settlements south, east
west and north. 1t does not require
prophetic vision to see this condi-
tlon realized.
Industrial and social conditions are
rapidly changing. No matter what
the obstacles, progress will crowd UP.
on the country with new surprises and
wondrous revelations. The west is
new. Its resources are scarcely
touched. Now, while a power plant
site may be acquired reasonably
cheaI, the city of Pendleton should
come into possession OF one. What
ever turn the future may take, such
a property will be highly valuable
The taxpayers of the city are entitled
to the benefit Of increased property
values which such a possession would
insure for Pendleton in future.

THE LULLABY SHIP.

A ship is sailing for Lullaby Land:
And what may the cargo be?
A woolly dog and china cat
A trumpet of tin and an old torn hat,
Are ready to go to sea.
For Lullaby Land her sails are set
90 pray ye the winds be trueD
She will gently glide cross the sea
of Dreams,
Mid the moonbeams bright and the
starlight CLEANS,
Meath the skies of sapphire blue.
Now "All aboard for Lullaby Landr
cone tiny traveller to go)-
The woolly dog and the trumpet Of
tin,
Two chubby hands have folded within
While a golden head droops low.
Fair Lullaby Land is reached at last
The captains duty is done
By her sweet low voice, and her fact
so fair,
She has sailed the ship-the rockin;
chair
To the land of the Setting Sun.

TOO HOT FOR PEARY.

Robert e. Peary complained last
evening in an address before the
American Geographical society about
the warm weather in the polar re-
gions, says a New York special. He
said II It had not been for the warm
weather up there last season the ex-
pedition would certainly have reached
the pole.
The winter Of 1866, which his
ship, the Roosevelt. spent at Cape
Sheridan, complained Peary, was
comparatively warm, the thermome-
ter having an average reading Of only
81 degrees below zero. This was In
antithesis of the winter the Alert
spent not far from the same place 30
years before, when the average was
721s degrees below zero.
But, of course, 1t got even warmer
than 54 degrees below zero after the
sun rose early this year and the Peary
party set out from Winter Haven In
four detachments with dogs and
sledges, with faces turned to the
north.
Where the heat got in its work was
in producing a stretch of open water
of about 100 miles off the northern
coast of Grant Land, which seriously
delayed the advance northward
When this open stretch was CLOSED
with thin coating of new Ice and thu
explorers had crossed 1t, smaller oper
stretches were encountered, all o
! which delayed the party.

PICTURESQUE JAPAN.

Oregon has not been contaminated
by the touch of Japan. Fendleton
mas had experience with Japanese
coolies and has not found them to be
either dangerous. vicious or clannish,
They assimilate American ideas even
more readily than Americans assimi-
late the characteristics of countries
which they adopt, The japanese con-
form 10 American customs more read
dly than the American conforms 10
the customs of Mexico or Canada.
This is not derogatory to Ameri-
cans, but it is justice to the pictur-
esque japanese.
Coming up from a state of almost
complete savagry not many centuries
ago, the Japanese have experienced
the most rapid, evolution of any race.
What the Indians were 500 years ago
they are today, when left to their in
clinations. 1t is vastly different with
Japan.
Every country, every decade in that
wonderful island empire has witness
ed vital changes, not only in indus
trial surroundings. but in the very
thought and spirit of the nation. There
has heen q perfect system of mental
evolution. In mind and nature Japan
has grown. In Industrial. in social
spheres the people of that empire
have advanced as they have come in
contact with other nations. No year
in the modern history of Japan has
seen the nation stand still. Every
year has marked progress.
Unlike China, Japan needs her
populst ton at home. Manchuria, a
vast territory susceptible to wonder
full development. opens an industrial
door for every Japanese laborer in
the empire. who is not permanently
employed at home and there is nc
danger of n japanese invasion of the
United States.
The United States cannot afford to
hate the japanese. The character OF
that race does not justify race pref
udice. such as may be justly enter
tained toward the Chinese.
