been favored with the presence of
several prominent townsmen, who
have addressed the commercial law

Hitchcock, who spoke to the law
class on the subject of chattel mort
cages. The last address was given
by Mr.. Lauritz Miller, last Wednes-

1t is conceded that a great many
years have elapsed since England
sent an ambassador to this country
who is giving. as much satisfaction
from an American point of view as
James Bryce. In an expression made
the other day, Mr.. Bryce gave forth
a splendid sentiment toward the
American people and their institu-
tions, and thought that England and
America ought to be the best of
friends. For a good many years
there have been many differences
between the United States and Ca
NADIA, and Mr.. Bryce has just gone
to Ottawa to confer, with the Cana
dian authorities with reference to
settling the troubles, and with the
Mr.. Bryce as the ~intercedent, it is
believed that the difficulties will be
swept aside.

Arbor Day Proclamation.

In keeplng with a useful and
worthy custom, not without its
sentiment and beauty, I, Coe L.
Crawford, Governor of South Da-
kota, do hereby designate and set
apart Friday, April Goth, A. D. 1901,
as Arbor DAY.
I earnestly urge the general OBJ
servance of the purposes of the day
by the generous planting Of trees.
Tree planting and tree culture will
richly reward every one who is will
ling to give the time and labos re-
|quired. Nothing else will surround
a home with so much that p.eases
the eye, and comforts the heart as
beautiful trees and fine shrubbery.
Nothing else will so relieve the
naked prairies Of the whitening
drought Of midsummer and the rag
ing winds of midw!nter.
Let the teachers and pupils of our
public schools on~this day plant trees
upon school grounds and campus and
in the public parks, and also prepare
Fand execute fitting literary and mus.
ical programs.

Every Farmer Should Read This.

We have received from the Farmers
Tribune, Sioux City, Iowa, a copy oil
the front page design in yellow and
black. for the annual seed and nurs-
cry number which that we'll known
agricultural and live stock.weekly will
publish February l4th. This is truly
a work Of art. The artist has very
effectively contrasted the results
from planting good and poor seed.
One part of ..5he ..design shows a
field of fully developed grain and it's
complement, a we'll filled barn; the
other shows a field Of grain which
has given a poor stand, and a half
filed barn as the result.
We are advised by the publishers
of the Farmers Tribune that their
annual seed and nursery number will
be a most creditable Issue in every
respect. 1t will contain editorials,
and articles by we'll known authorities
which will deal with preparation of
the ..soil, selection of seed, etc.
Among the contributors will be
Assistant Secretary Of Agriculture,
Prof. W. M. Hays, probably the fore
most plant breeder..in America. This
one issue will be worth several times
the cost Of a years. subscription to
every farmer in this and adjoining
counties.
In this connection we call attention
to the special announcement in this
issue in which we are Offering the
Farmers Tribune and this paper at
a bargain price. Subscribe now.and
you. will be in time to get the big
special issue.

NO CITY CONVENTION
The City Committee Decided Not to
Hold a City Convention for
the Spring Election.
the Spring Election

The members OF the city committee
held a meeting Monday evening to
arrange for the coming spring elect
ion, which will be held on Tuesday,
April l6. The following members
were present: Chairman, j. II.
Sc.iven; secretary, Raymond Thomp-
son; l.. q. Stair, first ward; j. S.
Daniels, second ward a. N. Hill,
third ward; j. +. Wells, fourth
ward.
The committee decided that mas
much as there are no city officers to.
elect, with the exception of the
school treasurer, there would be no
need of holding city convention, and
that the name Of the present incumb-
ent, VIM. M. Smith, would be placed
on the school ticket for treasurer.
This is the off year in the city cleo
ton, when only the aldermen and
members of the board of education
are to be elected.
The committee will arrange later
for the cal ing of the c%aucuses, which
will be announced in due time.
The election doubtless will be
rather exciting this spring, when
the electric light franchise will he
voted upon and also the license ques-
tion. Just how much opposition
there will be to aIdermanic candi-
dates and members of the board of
education, if any opposition there
be, will develop along about the time
that the candidates begin to appear.
Alderman Wells, Of the Fourth ward,
and Alderman Wallace, Of che Third
ward, are pronounced in their deter
mination not to again become
candidates. Both are capable men
and have served their constituents
we'll.

The Mule as n Warrior.

Philadelphia Record: The mule
has hitherto appeared as wal ma
terial; before as the cause of
war. But Central America has ele-
waited him from the humble position
of an army's locomotive power to a
.casus .belli. He has been transferred
from his subordinate position in the
quartermaster's department to the
eminence of the Department of State,
and the foreign ministers of two SOW
ereign but lilliputian republics write
letters about him. There is even a
question of his identity and while
one official insists that the stolen
mule was the property of Ireno Sail
gado, a Nicaraguan refugee, another
insists that he belongs to another
Ireneo Salgado, who is an estimable
Honduran citizen. Troy was de-
stroyed, because Helen was stolen;
shall Managua be destroyed because
Nicaraguan raiders drove off a mule
from the soil of Honduras?

Evangelist. Johnson is making
progress In bringing sinners to re-

services have been going on for two
weeks, and the first test of those who
had. experienced a change of heart
was brought out a few evenings
ago, when the evangelist asked them
to rise to their feet. The fruits of
the evangelist's work was seen when
218 people arose. in their seats and
acknowledged that they had been
saved. This was on Saturday and
Sunday evening 81 more responded
to aesfmtlar Invitation, making a to-

the world is growing better despite

What a Congressman Gets.

I Since the ,4th of March a congress
man gets 81, 500 each year as salary.
In addition, there will be an allow
ance OF 1926 per year for stationery
and newspapers. They will continue
to draw a mileage allowance of 10
cents a mile. for travel each way 60
ing to and coming from Washington.
In the house OF representatives they
will have an allowance Of 81, 100 each
for clerkhire with no check on its
expenditure. That Is, congress has
no way Of Knowing whether they
actually pay this money out or make
themselves their own clerks. In the
senate the arrangement is different,
and each senator must have a clerk
whose name is on the pay foll. Many
members Of the house make their
wives their clerks, or their sons or
DAUGHTERS. Where this is done the
total salary amounts to owe $4,000
a year besides mileage. The short
session OF congress IN each alternate
year lasts from December to March
4, three months. The long session
in other years lasts from December
till May, June or July, five months
or more. One terms service is about
an average of nine smonths, for
which the member draws a total OF
something over 1913, O0O.

Interest in the success of the Wal
la Wala fair which opened yester-
day, il felt in Pendleton, and on
Thursday, Oct. II, a large number OF
Pendleton Elks will attend the fair
in the Garden City, to take part In
the Elks' parade. The Walla Walla
Bulletin says of the opening of the
fair:
With hundreds of visitors pouring
in through the gates Of the county
fair grounds, today the opening day
is a grand success. Although the pa
vilion was-not ready for opening,
there were many people inside, VINO
viewed the beautiful booths and ex-
cellent decorations.
In passing in the main entrance Of
the pavilion, one Of the first Things
to be seen is the grand stand, upon
the front of which is the music to
the words, Should Auld Acquaintance
Be Forgotten" The music is written
in large characters Of the heads OF
oats, and its appropriateness Is In
stantly impressed upon every one.
on all sides is vast display of what
is produced by Walla Walla county.
Grain, fruit and vegetables are found
here in abundance, and show the in
terest taken by residents from all
over the county. On the upstairs is
found the exhibits of the schools. 1t
is here that the colleges, business
schools, high schools and common
schools are making a showing of their
work, and it is certainly worth the
time of examining 1t. There is also
large display Of fruit on the up
stairs, besides a large number OF
seats for resting purposes.
At the back of the balcony an ex-
cellent view of the annex can be OBJ
tanned. Through the large arches ar
ranged here, person may stand there
and look down the long aisles, ceeing
everybody and everything. This view
S especially beautiful in the evening,
as the lights give an excellent effect.
In the annex, which contains 50,-
600 square feet of space, is to be
found almost every kind of machinery
that is sold or used in the county.
From gasoline engines to grain bag
making machines, everything is COM
plete. The penitentiary has a large
exhibit, which is place of curiosity
to everybody. The blood hounds are
also at the fair, and will take part
in the man hunt during the week.
