WALLA WALLA AS A RAILROAD
CENTER

The outlook for Walla Walla being
the center of vast railroad activities
within the next two years are very en-
cou~aging and more especially since the
announcement of the incorporation of
the Pacific ana Southeastern at Taco
ma. Saturday, by George Croker,
Charles Lathrop, General Hubbard and
their New York associates, who were
prominently identified with the build
ing of the Southern Pacific road from
San Francisco to Galveston, Texas.
The fact that WaTa Walla is desig
mated as the Eastern Washington ter
minus of the proposed road, shows
that this city and the Walla Walla val
ley are attraC ling the attention of the
big fnanciers who recognize the vast
possibilities and resources yet unde-
Veloped in this part of the state. Walla
Walla has made great strides under
very adverse conditions that have pre-
vailed in the past and which
still obtain. Il not being To-
Gated on the main line of
Il great transcontinental railroad, Walla
Walla has missed countless opportuni
ties to add to her industrial enter
prises. which right now should be ad-
ding thousands of dollars Of wealth
each month to the community. The
building Of the Pacific and Southeast
ern will have an important bearing on
the future of Walla Walla, more espe-
cially if the road is extended on east,
connecting with or becoming a trans
continental line as now planned by the
incorporators. The building of this
road, however, will only be the fore
runner of other lines which are now
heading for this valley. Active con-
struction work on the North Coast roaj
has again been commenced and the
will be running into Walla Walla with

little question but that two electric
lines. With Walla Walla as a central
point for both, will be in operation

REV. SALE VISITS ROGER WILL
lAMS

iFtNl ~
There was in this city one day this
week Rev. Geo. Sale, D, D., the Edu-
cational Secretary of the American
Baptist Home Mission Society, whose
headquarters are at Atlanta, Ga. Mr..
Sale has charge of the Home Mission
Society schools among Negroes in the
United States. 1t is supposed that
his visit here was in connection with
the proposed dormitory to be erected
at Roger Williams University this
summer. This conclusion was
reached because Immediately upon
his arrival in the city Tuesday he
went directly to the university and
a hurried call to the board members
of the university was made for a spe-
cial meeting on Tuesday evening.
1t has not yet been learned just what
transpired at this meeting. Yet there
are plans well under way for the be-
ginning of the excavation for the
foundation of the three-story building
that is almost sure to be erected
within the next three months and
ready for occupancy early in Septem-
Der.
The university is getting some sub
stantial assistance from several
quarters and will no doubt receive a
handsome financial boost when the
Tennessee Baptist State Convention
convenes in this city in July, as ex
ira preparations are being made for
large delegation. They will visit
the university site, and undoubtedly
be inspired to do greater things.

DR.. ROMAN RETURNS.
After a Brief Stay at the Tuskegee
Industrial and Mechanical In
stitute, at Tuskegee, Ala.

Industrial and Mechanical In
stitute, at Tuskegee, Ala.
Dr. C. V. Roman, the noted special
list of this city, has returned to his
home after a brief professional visit
to Tuskegee Institute Tuskegee,
Ala. On Sunday evening he lee
tured in the chapel, of which "The
Tuskegee Student" of April Is, has
the following to say:
Last Sunday evening in our Chap
ell, after the regular vesper exer-
cises, DR.. c. V. Roman, of Nashville,
Tenn, maded talk which was of very
great interest and help to all who lis
tened to him. DR. Roman came to Tus-
kegee with a considerable reputation
as a speaker. He has written much
and has lectured considerably
throughout the country. His talk to
our students and teachers altogether
justified the reputation he enjoys as a
thinker and speaker. A meager re-
port of what he had to say is pre-
scented in the following: A school
boy was once asked to give a defini-
ton of reason, and to show the diff
ference between reason and instinct,
which he did as follows: Reason is
what we has, and instinct is what the
beasts has. Them that has instinct
knows what to do, without study and
them what has reason must study their
eyes out or else be fools" Thus was
this youthful philosopher, led by bud
ding reason to recognize the greatest
problem of ones existence, namely,
how to act wisely concerning our sur
roundings and associations The
only difference between men and ami
mails is the power of thought This
has led to the use of tools and fire
by man. Thus man controls environ
ment while animals are controlled by
IT, There is a great tendency for
youth to be impractical and to dream
Of what they can do in other surround.
ings and under other conditions.
The real test of what one would like
~ do in. new surroundings is the way
he does the old. Faithless in few
things, one is likely to be worthless
in many things, IL opportunity offers.
Doing the little duty at hand pre-
pares one for doing the great duty to
come. Every one can do his part,
however small. This was illustrated
by q folklore story Of an ancient king
who desired to be famous by furnish
ing everything necessary for the
building Of great church. After all
his efforts and expenditures the glory
finally went to a poor and unknown
woman who, in pity, had ministered
TO cne Of the struggling teams haul
Ing material for the great edifice.
THE best rewards" DR.. Roman coun-
seled, come to those who act OPP
portunely within their environment.
DR. Roman is a clear philosopher,
and is al much at home on the plat
form as he is in his Office. His lee
ture delivered recently at st. John A.
NJ e. Church, this city, will long be
remembered. There is a general de-
sire on the part Of the people to hear
him again and he will be asked to
give them another opportunity.

SPRUCE STREET
CHURCH.
BAPTIST

On the night of Good Friday I'M
der the management of Mr. George
L. Harris, the Sunday-school connect
ed with the church had what was
known as a "Texas Social and Lou
isiana Hens Nest" Every lady pres
ent placed an egg, with her name
written thereon, in a sack upon en-
tering the door of the church Every
man upon entering the door of the
church drew an egg from the sack
and the lady whose name was in
scribed thereon was the company Of
that man who drew the egg. The
Louisiana Hens Nest contained one
egg and so cents in loaf of bread.
The evening was passed very pleas
antly and the results more than eX-
ceeded the expectations of the pro-
motors of the entertainment.
On Sunday morning the Sunday
school met at $3.50 o'clock, the usual
hour, and at once began the rendition
of the special Easter program Miss
Mary Reed, the popular soprano, Q6n-
Quoted the singing, and Miss Ennie
L. DuHSOu very dCkSpJdBtt pl e
sided at the piano. Ere music,
both vocal and instrumental was of a
high order and the renditions pleased
the large audience which completely
filled the church. Messrs. W. G., Up
shaw and S. F. Williams, Of Fisk
University, were the speakers Of the
morning and dwelt FOR some time
upon Our Duty as Christians" The
addresses were interesting, instruct
i've and helpful.
AT the eleven o'clock service there
was a large audience. DR.. Townsend
preached an eloquent Easter dis
course. At the afternoon service Dr.
Hammond delivered the annual SER
mon Of the I. o. |. The auditorium
which was beautifully decorated with
potted plants, was packed to its ut
most capacity. At night the usual
Sunday night services were held.

CAT LOVED 81 ALL

OLINA TOWN.
Splendid Act of Pussy at Right MO
ment Always Remembered, and
Whole City Mourned at
Her Cbsequies.


When the train CT ew found that 1t
was Emma" they had run over, one
dark night in Asheyille, about ten
| days ago they all gathered about the
spot in that hats-oif attitude which
the might have assumed about the
grave eff a departed great man.
Emma was only a cat, but cat
known widely III North Carolina. She
had been most tenderly cared for and
IGnpered since the night of the Emma
township burglary in 1901, when she
saved the life Il one man and caused
the hanging Of two others.
Che black night clerk named S. H.
Alexander who slept III the store-and-
pest office building. vas called to the
door b. loud knocking On opening I,
he was confronted BY swo masked
men, who pointed guns at him and or
defed him to open the safe. AleSan-
der was scarcely more than boy, and
he lad u obey, though the safe con
tanned a large sum Of money. As he
kaelt on the floor to get at the combi-
nation. he revolved in his mind
schemes to foil the robbers, bit, with
those blued barrels trained on his
back hair, he decided to reject Thea
ell.
IS the door swung open. one robber
laid his revolver on top Of the 1afe and
stepped up TO see what was INSIDE.
Emma, who ur.il then had been view
ing things With alarm from behind che
stove, chose that moment 10 act.
Using a sugar barrel for take-off, she
leaged at TIC crouching robber. upset
his equilibrium am passed her needle
like claws ND and down his face twice
or three tines.
The other robber turned his head in
alarm 1t was only an ms ant, but IN
that instant Alexander had snatched
the revolver from the safe AID shot
tie man who was fighting off the cat.
The other robber 1eared on the clerk
and wrestled with him for the smok-
ing revolver Alexander was beaten
on he head ard She in several
places; and, when the desperadoes
thought he was dead. they made off
without stofpins for the booty.
Neighbors were alarmed by the noise
of the firing and seuflng, and posse
was able to start en- the trail while il
was fresh. Before daybreak it cap
tured not only the two robbers, but
two aceomplices. All four were sen
fenced to be hanged but at the last
minute the accom- Ices set off with
he Imprisonment. Alexander cot well
finally. At one time, when it seemed
certain that he must die, a sirl to
whom he was engaged married him.
After his recovery the government re-
warded his bravery with place in the
postal service.
The postmaster, d. J. Mcclellan, ap-
pointed Emma official nouser at the
store. with all the privileges and
emoluments OF the place. When she
was run over the traiEmen brought
her body 20 the store, and next day
she was buried with imposing eeremo-
MES and a funeral which nearly every
body in town attended. She was the
mother of 172 kittens. but so FIR as IS
known. only one is alive to-day. That
kitten would probably be harder to
buy than child of the same age.
