Fruit growing in the Ktnrewick
Valley being still in its infancy, as
far as orchards aie concerned, we
are scarcely al le to make as com-
plete report as we would like on
the subject. Still we have not t.
wait for the fu,ue 10 realize the
rank that the Kennewick Valley
will take IN the fruit growing in.
dustry Of the Northwest.
While only three years in the
ground, many OF our orchards show
size of tree equal to that of four
or FIVE year old trees III sections not
far di tant. This wonderful gr wtl,
is not. as might be supposed, a
spindling, slim growth. but a good
substantial trunk many of our g.
year-old trees showing a diameter
of trunk of SIX inch Or mo e
forming a magnificent support Tor
their remarkable fruit.
This rapid development of trees
at Kennewick is easily accounted
for by the long growing season ex-
perienced III the valley which with
out doubt, has the earlies, S. RUG
and the longest autumn before the
killing frosts arrest the growth of
vegetation.
Asstated before, altho very new,
the Kennewick Valley has not to
guess at the quantity and quality
of frui; to be raised in the future,
there bang a few small orc ard =,
planted by the first settlers bearing
in sufficient quantities to make an
estimate of the crop value aud to
demonstrate the gu lily of fruit
grownin the district, proving be-
yond a doubt, that the Kennewick
Valley can produce as fine fruit as
is grown anywhere and realizing
the growers most ,anguine expec-
tatiOn as to the financial retnr.s o,,
crops, tnis applying especially to
tue early varieties which the Ken
newick orchardist can place on the
III .rket before any of the neighbour
ing districts, securing the highest
market price In view of this fact
l should judge that the fruit grower
of the Kennewick Valley should
apply his energy and efforts to tie
growing of the earnest varieties of
the different species If fruit. Per-
haps the only exception being made
in favor of such fruit as need a very
loag season to mature, such as the
latest peaches and grapes, Malagas,

A New Electric Li8ht.

Everybody kno VS. that the incan-
descent electric light, altho far
more economical than the gas or
kerosene flame, is still very waste
full, because only small fraction of
the total electrical energy consumed
is converted into light. Scientists,
have accordingly been working for
years to find som other fIament
than the carbon now used. Tanta.
lum and tungsten and other rare
elements have been proposed, but
as they were expensive to get and
difficult to handle they have not
come into use. Now it is reported
that Prof. H. G. Parker, of Colum-
,ia University, working with Mr..
w. c. Clark, has discovered a new
tiiamept which has a greater efic-
iency than any other and can be
made in unlitui ed quantities al law
cost. They call the new material
"helion" and stated that it is COM
posed Of silicon, with other ingred-
tents deposited by the decomposi-
ton of a gas on a flament of car
bon. With a current sufficient to
bring the ordinary carbon filament
to dull redness the new lamp gives
bright light. The ordinary in
candescent bulb of I6-candle power
requires IS watts of electric energy,
while the helion lamp gives more
than one candle power for each watt

THE ADAPTABILITY OF HUMAN
 NATURE.

The luXuries of today become the necessities of tomorrow and the ne cessities of yesterday are the non-es- sentials of today Human nature, the most flexible, the most adaptable of all the devices of the Creator yields here, expands there and wrests ever from the veXing clash of circumstance measure of contentment or Of resl@- nation. A mans expense grow or diminish with his income; his de- mands upon destiny decline with the number of pulsations of his heart His attitude toward society grows more and more tolerant as the red corpuscles in his blood diminisM IS the cells of his tissue die away and the convolvular impressions of piled up years teach him the ephemeral and unimportant nature of things in gem eral.
 The man thrown into a felon's cell rails and raves for a time and, then, becomes passive The bride deprived of her husband drapes her form in sable and hides her face and her grief from the world-for time' Then the black gown and the veil are laid aside and she takes her place once more in the world, perhaps to De wooed and won again. A mans busi- ness is swept away, his entire family taken from him by calamity or disas- ter and he is crushed to the dust But wait: in nine cases out of ten, he Will rise, take up his old pack with the added burden of his grief and woe and pursue the inevitable journey around the circle which ever returneth to the selfsame spot
 Of such adjustable and adaptable stuff are We fashioned.-St. Louis Re- public.

THE ANTI-SUIC!DE CAMPAi"\.


 That the Salvation Army is do- ing a great and noble work m the bic cities in the crusade it IS WaS- ing against suicide is abundantlv sunportahle by the data and statls- ties easily accessible. Although they only organized short 1e" months ago for such a campaign against old Satan as to rescue those who become disconsolate ana in conseouence of their deDravlty and the utter loss of hope for the hereafter, and a loss of interest Tn life as to think of committing self murder. thousands have been rescued from the suicide route ana have been given an interest in life and a hope in the hereafter.
 The Salvation Army people have along these lines operated almost altogether in the larger cities or the north, but are now making preparations to come to our own southern cities to carry on thls same crusade against self-murder.
 A branch to the main establish ment is to be opened right away in New Orleans, and of the general plan and it's proposed bureau in that city, the Daily States says:
 Probably the number of the saved from suicide will be ma terially enlarged by the work of the branch bureau to be established here. This, however, isn't saying that our suicides have been eXcep- tionally numerous, or that the un- dertaking isn't a worthy one. There's always large field every where for the application of human sympathy.

REWARDS REV.
 FRIEND WATSON

The congregation of the Lake side Methodist church recently in- formed Reverend c. w. Watson, in appreciation of his services in the past and his good work as their leader, they would defray the eX- penses of his trip to Los Angeles to attend the Imperial Council of the Shriners. Reverend Watson is a Shriner and he will accompany the Shriners when they leave this city Tuesday for Los Angeles. The donation is testimonial of the popularity of the well-known local pastor and an evidence of the high esteem in which he is held by his congregation.

CHARACTER IN NEWSPAPERS.

The character counts in the mak- ing of a newspaper as in other things and that the man behind the pen imparts this character that all the money in the world could not give is demonstrated in the not able journalistic successes of this country: Samuel Bowles and the Springfield Republicans; H brace Greedy and Whitelaw Reid and the New York Tribune, Charles A. Dana and the New York Sun, Henry Watterson and the Courier Journal, Clark Howell and the At lanta Constitution, and in every other case where a newspaper has acquired wide influence and strength for effective service, there has been character and personality back of it.
 That suggestion recurs in noting the celebration by the New York Evening Post of it's 106th anni- versary. No paper in the United States illustrates in it's experience more clearly than does this the value of character in it's directing

ROWLAND ARRIVES
 ON ITS DOWN TRIP
Brought Four Hundred Bales of Cotton Out of Little Rock With
 Other Freight.

The steamer Lucille Rowland ar rived at the local landing last night shortly after 9 o'clock on it's down trip from Little Rock. She departed for Memphis at daylight this morning.
 The Rowland took on 400 bales of cotton at Little Rock yesterday with consignments of other freight. She picked up a lot of freight at landings between this city and the capital yesterday.
 This weeks trip of the Rowland by that boat in the past three weeks, one trip having been made each week On the first trip 1000 bales of cotton owned by the Inman company, which had been congested at that place, was shipped by river to Memphis. The second cargo, taken out last week, consisted ot 300 bales, also owned by the In' man company All the cotton was shipped to Memphis.
 The movement of cotton out oi Little Rock to Memphis via the river is the result of the congestion of cotton in that city, caused by the inability of railroads to handle the product.

SUNDAY, APRIL 2S, 1907.
BRYAN \ POPCLlST.


 principle of initiative and referen- dunn William J. Bryan has at last thrown off the mask of Democracy and revealed himself as the Popu- list that he is, and that he was when he went to tEe Chicago con- vention in 1896 on a bolters' dele gation as political free lance, resolved to cast his fortunes With the highest bidder, the party that offered him most, says the Kansas City Times.
 If the simon pure, genuine Dem- oracy of the nation can accept Bryan as it's representative as candidate for the presidency in the teeth of this latest croWning ad- vocacy oi Populistic principles it will be because, like Shakespeare S apothecary, necessity, and not it's will, contents. To put 1t plainly, it will be because the Democratic party has no truly representative man of national prominence who is willing to make the race or to whom it can intrust it's standard. Notwithstanding present conditions, which on the surface indicate an overwhelming preponderanee o1 o,,t, fiynn in, IS shall miss our guess if the genuine Democrats, who cherish a pride in party faith and who put principles above any man, do not find some way out of the dilemma that con- fronts them by reason of Bryan's candidacy.
 Bryan has not been a Democrat at heart since he was beaten for reelection to congress in the early '90s. A briefless barrister then, spending most of his time in fishing and in idleness with the newspaper men in and about his home in Lin coin. he began casting around in a desperate effort to make fresh start both politically and in a busi- ness way Newspaper men now in Kansas City, who were rather in timately thrown with him at that crucial period of his career remem- Der well how undecided he was. whether to abandon his profession and try the lecture platform on the strength of the reputation he had won in congress as "the boy orator of the Platte," or whether to join the Populsts whose growing strength just then threatened to swallow the Democratic party or at least to reduce it to the status of a third party. When he went to Chicago in 1896 he had already announced his intention of bolting the Democratic party if it refused to declare for free silver and other Populistic ideas; and it had already been arranged in that contingency that he would be nominated for the presidency by the Populists.
 And so Mr. Bryan was never only masqueraded as one because it of fered him the best chance to en- hance his political fortunes, If he would have been denied the nomination in 1896 he would have deserted the party, and, judging by his speech the other night, if he is denied the honor next year he will not hesitate to repudiate the Democracy and try to reor- sanize the Populists under the Bryan banner-the party name be- ing immaterial just so he gets the fame
 Today Bryan does not represent a single principle that was upheld by Cleveland, Tilden, Jackson and Jefferson. The old Democratic party
