And thou must harry thy fathers
hold for the peace of the border
line
The Washington herald., 1907-04-21

The shoulder kind, the twisty stuff,
Til the Russian cried he had enough.
But N Russia, France, or anywhere,
For ne or you, or for Teddy Bear
To fight Tor peace isn't worth dime;
It doubles trouble every time;
Or the stronger wins and peace IS made
Because the weaker is afraid
Things move more happily along,
If we apologize when in the wrong.
But that row that day had gene too far;
The Bears were ordered off the car,
And men were called, like soldiers dressed
With chains and cuffs to make arrest.
The Bears regretted the row they'd made,
And tried the officers 10 persuade,
That no harm was meant, but all was fun,
As they had no spear or sword or gun.
But to hit a soldier is a serious crime,
Which must not be done at any time;
And two sets of handouts did the trick,
The Washington herald., 1907-04-21

And the Teddy Bears were landed quick,
In Russian jail with a window each,
Through which to coax or scold or teach,
The noisy crowd which stood below,
Laughing, and joking at the show.
But in that crowd was Yankee tar,
Whose cruiser captain knew the Gar,
And he took message from TEDDY-B,
Which in half an hour got both Bears free,
And special train on which to ride,
With dining car and Russian guide,
And friendly help on every side,
And stations passed along the way,
Displaying the flag OF the y. S. A.
When they reached ST. Petersburg that night,
This famous city was blaze of light;
From streets of granite laid IN mire,
To the top Of every golden spire,
Streams of light shone everywheres,
In honor of the Roosevelt Bears.
And Russian soldiers all in line
Made the city squares look very fine,
As they were driven in carriage grand,
Led by a famous Russian band,
To fine hotel on the Palace Quay,
Where they were told that all was free,
Their rooms and board and service best
And lounging parlors in which 10 rest
And carriages at their command,
And music from the Cars own band,
And all their own, not cent to pay,
As many days as they chose to stay.
They fead the lives Of Peter the Great,
And OF his successors up to date;
As wicked a bunch as ever made
The countries Of the world afraid.
They learned that hundred thousands died
In building the streets on every side,
From damp and cold on this marshy site,
Because King Peters word was might
They read how Catharine's foes were slain,
To clear the way for her to reign,
And how she made men live ike swine,
That she. herself, might in glory shine.
And other history stern and grim,
The Washington herald., 1907-04-21

Of people killed for royal within,
And thousands banished to regions cold,
Children in arms and peasants old,
For trifing cause, or none at all,
To please some upstart ruler small
These things made TEDDY-G so cross
He left the house and walked across
A bridge or two and public square,
To find the famous Russian bear,
TO teach him" he said, his A, B, c,
And how to govern fair and free
He taught th2t bear enough that day,
To make his hair turn red or gray;
The way TO spell, the Roosevelt plan,
Ok for or, and an for an,
"Wkteh easy way to spell" said he,
THE Russians need much more than we"
He taught him figures; how to divide
With folks in need on every side;
And government, the way to plan,
Was to take some lessons from Japan;
And in geography, on world so small"
Said TEDDY-G, Don't take it all;
But what you have, just hold and rule,
And build for every child a school"
The Russian bear did the best he could
And said he thought he understood
But TEDDY-G made him promise true,
That he'd real the life Of Roosevelt through
And then take Tip when that was done,
The history of George Washington
One afternoon at half-past FIVE,
They took the Gar for little drive,
To show him the city about which, he said,
He had often in his castle read
TEDDY-B said he would driver be,
And charge by the hour and collect the fee,
While TEDDY-G was to sit behind
The famous Russian Gar to mind
The streets were crowded and windows high
To see the Bears go driving by,
And to cheer the Gar and throw bouquets,
The kind which start a Russian blaze
But TEDDY-G, with arm and paw,
Knocked off with ease each bomb he saw,
And did his part so brave and well.
In handling safely every shell,

xII-THE BEARS IN RUSSIA.

The Teddy Bears learned a thing or two,
About the way the Russians do,
For about ten o'clock the following day.
AT railway station along the way,
Their clothes were searched, and boots, and cal
Umbrellas, overcoats. and traps,
By whiskered men, who used them rough,
And talked in language loud and gruf.
What the search was for, they didn't know;
Or if mistaken for foreign foe;
And when TEDDY-G gave man blow,
For prodding him behind the ear,
With the shapest end of a soldiers spear,
It opened battle then and there,
Between officer and Teddy Bear
But the Roosevelt Bears knew how 10 box,
And TEDDY-G worked off some knocks.
The Washington herald., 1907-04-21

They spent day with a man whose name
Is known to literature and fame,
And talked with him, and tried his clothes
And hoed his corn, a dozen rows,
And heard him explain his patent trick;
How to make wrong right and do it quick.
Next week we'll go" said TEDDY-B,
ITO Switzerland her hills to see,
And we'll climb each one and never stop.
Till we stand alone on the very. top,
And ColoTado's mountains cheer,
Our brother bears and mountain deer,
And every rock and creek and tree.
And all cur friends across the sea
The Washington herald., 1907-04-21

That he won a medal with printing filed,
"He saved king from getting killed"
They left this city Of historic strife,
To learn little OF Russian life;
To see the farms of grain and grass.
And study the ways Of the peasant class.

HAS HEARD OF
WALLA WALLA
EASTERN MANUFACTURERS SAYS
CITY STOOD PAT" DURING
FINANCIAL FURRY.

While | am fully aware of the
confidence of your citizens in the pro-
sress of Walla Walla, l doubt if they
really comprehend the significance of
the stand the Walla Walla bankers
have taken during the financial dis
tArbance throaghoutsth United States.
1t might surprise you to know that the
reputation of Walia Walla is being
spoken of in ali the financial centers
of America. While nearly every city
in the United States keenly felt the
stringency of currency, Walla Walia
stood pat and as a result your city
is now known throughout the length
and breadth of the states"
The above pretty compliment was
handed a Statesman representative
last evening by Col. w. f. Gilbert OF
Buffalo. ~ Y. MIR. Gilbert is considered
one of the leading manufactures of the
east and has fer years been connected
with the Hutchins-Gi company OF
that city. He is at present making a
temporary visit in the city, the guest
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. J!Kingsley, form
ery of Buffalo.
Col. Gilbert is not the only
one who knows of Walla Walla
progress, for there are residents or
the city who can corroborate ms
statements. In speaking of Mr.. Gilbert
remarks last evening, Stanley Dean, OF
tie Dean Mclean Abstract company,
said:
Il am equally convinced of Walla
Walla's prosperity. Il have talked WIN
a number of travelling men ana tney

in particular. | remember. He salo
that if Walla Waila could be adVertlseo

homes would be added during the mex
year to the citys already increasing
population"
The statements issued by the Waf-
Ia Walla's banks and which were pup
listed in last evenings Statesman
cannot help but add an additional gram
of confidence to the citizens In general
In fact there can be no lack OF conn
dence with the banks buhglng win

and bearing 126 boxes of fruit, the
Seeding apple tree raised on the Or
chard of c. r. Randolph, Is miles
northeast of this city, has a record for
age, size and productiveness which
will be hard to beat.
The apple is a Seeding of the va
riety known as "FraZier's Beauty; a
little larger than the average apple,
is green of color with a faint flush of
pink. 1t is a good apple. both for eat
ing and cooking purposes. A sample
of the fruit is exhibited at the office
of j. M. Hill, real estate dealer.
But the main point of attraction the
apple tree has is it's productiveness.
The yield of 1875 boxes of apples is
is prodigous. The boxes averaged in
weight about AZ pounds, or a total of
1922 pounds of apples from one tree.
More than two and a half tons of
fruit hanging from the branches of a
single tree. With apples selling at
from so cents to $50 per box. Mr.
Randolph will realize an average OF
dollar box on the fruit, $125 from

WASHINGTON. Dec. THE secre-
tary of war sent to congress the report
of the army engineers, which will pre-
vent the construction by the govern
ment of a ship canai connecting Grays
Harbor and Puget Sound. Such a ca

walton of 40 miles of canal in addition

In the opinion of the engineers, such

of the numerous locks. would save no

|CREAT INCREASE OF DEPOSITS
IN BANKS OF WALLA WALLA

ufaCtured Panic

As fitting and exact demonstra-
tion of the wonderful resources of the
Walla Walla valley. and of the solid
condition of Walla Walla's banking in
stitutions, correctly compiled figures
taken from reports to the comptroller

tional banks of Portland showed run
down in deposits of $3,095. .731.49 between
August % and December 8, three of the
banks of Walla Walla show an in
crease of $332,3O923.
If this enormous increase is aston
ishing the increase of cash on hand
and due from other banks, is doubly
astonishing.
