A HUMAN BRIDGE.
One of the Sights at Seattle Con-
ventiOn-GreatE Event.

The most spectacular part of
the program that is being arrang-
ed for the entertainment of dele
gates to the Christian Endeavor
convention to be held in Seattle
in July is the building of a
Christian Endeavor bride by a
thousand children, members of
the junior department of the Soc
iety. The bridge is a wooden
structure to be built in sections
on the speakers platform in the
main auditorium, on the conven-
ton grounds in Lincoln Park.
Each section will have inscribed
on it biblical text or Christian
Endeavor motto and when con-
structed will symbolic Christian
Endeavor and its work through
out the world.
For the past three months a
chorus of a thousand children
have been rehearsing the seven
teen songs to be sung during the
building of the bridge. Forty
children have been instructed by
private teachers in. elocution and
singing and as they put the sect
ions of the bridge together will
sing or recite an appropriate Sc.
lection.
After the work of construction
has been completed, a march o1
all nations will be begun. Pre-
ceeded bya leader carrying the
Christian Endeavor flag, the en-
tire chorus bearing the flags OF
all nations will march across the
bridge.
During the main part of the
program the chorus will be garb.
ed in white, but in the march
they will don capes of red OF
green, the combination of red,
white and green being the colors
of the Christian Endeavor socie'
| ty. In the rehearsals, graceful
grouping of the children will be
practiced and some pretty colel
effects are promised by the teach
ers training the children.

Reception For Them.

Prof. and Mrs. S. w. Holmes
left Wednesday for Ostrander,
Wash, to take up their residence
ana in their honor a reception
was given at the M. E. church
Monday evening, about 100 per-
SONS being present. While the
affair was entirely informal it
was very enjoyable, although a
feeling of sadness was manifest
as the departure of the Holmes
family was referred to by the
guests.
There was an impromptu pro.
gram that began with a song,
"Blest be the Tie" by the audi
ence followed bv a pretty duet by
Marie and Evelyn Cathey; solo,
Inez Johnson; solo R. N. White !;
remarks by Mayor Lilly; reci-
tation, Mildred Hall; vocal solo,
DR.. Cathey; address, Judge Wat
tiers; vocal duet, R. N. White
and A. P. Johnson, address, DR..
Cathey; recitation, Mrs. Carroll
Cummings; address, Prot.
Holmes; remarks, Rev. Feese.
After the program had been
concluded, Prof. and Mrs.
Holmes were invited forward,
. and in behalf of the audience
Rev. Feese in a few we'll chosen
words presented them with a
handsome silver bread tray, as
suring them that while the gift
was but simple offering of only
a few dollars value it conveyed
in measure an idea of the love
and esteem for the recipients that
is felt by those who made the
gift. Prof. Holmes responded
with deep feeling, and the party
was then asked to join in a So
cial hour. In the dining room
cocoa, tea and waters were served
as the guests chatted and engag-
ed in a social time.
Prot. Holmes has been identi-
fed with the Corvallis public
school for seven years, during
which he bas been largely re-
sponsible in bringing the school
up to its present standard of ex-
cellepce. As stated by Mr.. Wat
tiers in his remarks, s'Prof.
Holmes has cut quite a swath with

A Corvallis boy who went fishing

tells of rather unusual sight that
he saw On a steep hillside. The C.
d E. railroad makes 8 sharp curve
along the top of this bluff, and in
some manner it was evident that q
hugh saw log had been swung from
a car, rolling thence to the bottom
OF the hill. So large was the log
that it tore a path through the un-
derbrush, landi g near the river
bank. and there the big log was
found.

THOSE RAILROAD LANDS.
What the Question is Concerning
Them-ssActualS Settlers"

That "actual settlers" in the
railroad land grants of the Ore
gon & California and Southern
Pacific means persons who have
homes on the lands and dwell
there seems accepted without dis
pute. The more important ques-
tions for individuals who seek to
wrest the lands from the railroads
at $2. so per acre, is whether
their asserted right to buying the
lands b. longs to all persons who
may establish homes on the lands
or does it belong only to those
who were residents when the
railroad fixed the route of its
lines and obtained the lands
from the ment?
The latter is the meaning put
on the acts of congress by the
railroad. Its attorney insists
that there is a line CT supreme
court decisions for the claim that
the land grant acts of 1860
vested the railroad the right to
own in fee simple the lands set
apart in the grant by congress,
and actually that those acts at
tached the title to the railroad,
when the railroad filed, in Wash
ington, maps of the definite route
of lines, at intervals between
I87o.84.
By this Interpretation there
can be no new actual settlers,
and those persons who are squat
ing On the lands are tresspasssers.
This assumes that the railroad
holds absolute ownership in the
lands; that in accepting them
from the government it agreed to
sell at 81. so per acre only to
persons who had homes on the
lands at the time title passed
from the United States; and that
there have been no such claim
ants since.
This is an elastic meaning of
"actual settler" Should it be
confirmed by the courts, the rail.
road cannot be forced to sell its
remaining 5000, 900 acres OF the
grants. This would defeat the
efforts OF hundreds of persons in
Western Oregon, who in the last
few mouths havl prepared to
take possession OF railroad lands
as actual settlers and have offer
ed 81 SO an acre to the railroad.

TROUBLED THIRTEEN YEARS
WITH GUILTY CONSCIENCE

MARROW, |. T.. July 3.--After living
thirteen years with the consciousness
that he was guilty of killing a fellow
man, and that an innocet party was
serving the sentence in prison which
rlghtfully should have been his. Patsy
Barrett "a resident OF this city, has
written confession OF his crime, and
has gone to Palestine. Texas, to sur
render himself to the officers.
According to the confession which
he has made, Barrett and Ped Wat
kins, who liven then in Palestine, Tex
as, were both going with the same
young lady Barrett was apparently
first in her affections and Watkins was
extremely Jealous. He announced that
he would kill Barret the next time he
found him in company with the young
woman in question.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1907-07-04

1t was only a short time after this
that Barrett and Watkins engaged in
an alteration and Watkins was shot.
barrett fed the country and as there
were no witnesses to the crime, an
other was convicted and sentenced 20
prison in his stead.
For many years he has had the af.
fair on his mind, and recently has
been actually insane as a result uf
his worry. He has several times de
cided that he would make a conies-
sion but mis- wife has always dissuad.
ed him from doing so until recently.
Barrett states that he does not regret
the murder so much. since he claims
that 1t was committed in self defense.
as he does the fact that he has per.
mitted an innocent party TO serve a
term in prison.
