Eucalyptus.

Mr. Wright says that the seedman
from whom he procured his Eucalyp-
tus seed, wrote that it was from the
most hardy variety grown in Califor-
MIA. He may have been honestly mis-
taken, or admitting that he was cor
rect, it does not prove that there are
not varieties which will grow in this
state. 1t is not at all probable that
they have tested half the known va
rieties in California.
We mentioned the number described
by Won Muller, but on looking up the
genus in Prof. Bailey's Cyclopedia Of
American Horticulture, we find that
there are I4o known and described
species.

beautiful Castle Hill

The transformation OF Hotel De

week, and the blaze of electric
lights flashing out nightly from
the building, attract considerable
attention from the town. A large
number of students have taken up
their abode in the rev place, ana
the owners, Messrs. Moore ana
Penick, have gone to considerable
expense in fitting up the building.
AS students dormitory the
structure will be of great use to
the community. .
The furnishing of this hotel will
no doubt result in the building be-
ing used as a summer hotel. 1t is
admirably located for this Pur-

Government Pier Dedicated

The formal dedication and first
GENERAL illumination Of the great
Government pier at the jamestown
Exposition. erected by the United
States at a cost of $500, 900, wac
witnessed Saturday night by
twenty thousand spectators.
The mammoth structure, extend
ing over two thousand feet into
Hampton Roads, shimmering in
the rays of thousands of lncandes'
cert electric lights, and built Of
pure white concrete, was a picture
that called for q demonstration
from the crowd. The Mexican
National Band, standing beneath
the great arch of the pier, and
Phinney's Bend at the end of the
Raleigh Court, rendered national
airs. X. E. E. Gaylord, in a brief
speech turned the structure over
to United States Engineer F. R.
Wheeler, representing the govern
ment. Engineer Wheeler followed
in a brief speech, presenting the
completed work to President Tuck
Ell representing the exposition CON-
pany. Mr.. Tucker made a brief
address. The national salute an
nounced the opening of the dre'
works display, including repro
duction of the battle between the
Merrimac and Monitor.
Two grand piers, each 2,5O(
feet long and 200 feet wide, con
| uected at the extreme end by the
longest single.span concrete bridge
in America, make up this contri
button of the government to tn

quests to be relieved of his duties

Where the Drinker Is Licensed

Where the Drinker rs Licensed
Bedford Bulletin: A law has
been passed in Oregon requiring
all persons who purchase liquor to
take out license and pay So every
ak months. This is reversing the
order of things with vengeance. A
list of those holding licenses is
regularly published. A barkeeper
who sells liquor to a man without
license is punished heavily. NJ
licenses are issued to confirmed
diunksrds. There -is much COM
plaifft among certain class be-
cause of this law, but others seem
to like it.
The man who takes drink and
doesn't care who knows it makes
little objection, but the Sunday
school superintendent and the dea'
con of the church who have been
accustomed to take little on the
civ, and the SNUG and respectable
merchant who never let's his left
hand know what his right hand il
about, and the clerks who don
want their employers to know o.
their glasses now and then have
been squealing> nightly on accom-
of such horrible encroachment OF
personal liberty.

FAMOUS CAMPAIGN FUND

The history of the famous Re-
publican campaign fund of 1904
has at last been made public, and
the New, York World is entitled to
the credit for the same. 1t will be
recalled that Judge Alton B. Park
err Democratic nominee for, the
Presidency, charged that an i'm
mense campaign fund had been
raised by f. H. Hartman ana
turned over to Cornelius N. Bliss,
treasurer of the Republican Nation
al committee, who wrote a
check for the full sum and sent 1T
to G. B. Cortelyou, Republican
chairman and manager. The whole
amount collected was s26O,OpO,
and of this sum 100000 was re-
tanned by Mr.. COrtelyou for per-
sonal use IN New York. The bal
ance was used to insure the elect
ion of President Roosevelt. Judge
Parker's assertions are thus veri-
fed.
Following are the amounts con-
tribu ted, according to the World,
and it Will readily be seen that
each contributor represents some
great trust:
Edward H. Hartman, $4,000.
