THE BRYANS IN A BARN.
Odd incident Of Their First Appear
ance In Fairview.

Odd incident of Their First Appear
ance In Fairview.
1t was seven years ago that the Bry-
ans moved out to Fairview. At least
seven years before that they began
planning for it. They used to ride out
on the prairie on summer evenings,
and there was always one knoll beyond
Antelope creek where the sunsets SEEM
ed the loveliest. 'Mary," he used TO
say, "some day when we have money
enough We'll have a home out here"
The time arrived when they could buy
five acres. Then they bought ten.
then fifteen acres. So it grew In the
spring of 1901 when the barn was done
they couldn't wait any longer. They
moved into it and lived there for the
summer while the house was building,
says a writer in the Delineator The
family were welcomed to the rural
community by a house warming, for
which Uncle Jake marshaIed all the
neighbors. They took Mrs. Bryan into
their confidence, but it was "a surprise
on w. j." as Uncle Jake tells to this
day, with chuckle.
Me an my wife got there first"
says Uncle Jake. ''W. ]. had just come
in an hung his hat on nail in the
kitchen, an he says Good evenin',' real
cordial-like, an sat down to talk, think
in we'd just dropped in in neighbor
fashion. Then pretty soon there was
the sound of wagon wheels outside.
"'Why, there's more folks comin','
he says in kind Of a bewildered way,
his hand feelin' sort O. helplessly at his
shirt band. Then they all burst in.
Well he says, reachip' out with that
hearty handshake o. his, you caught
me without a collar.'"
From that night on the Bryans were
naturalized citizens Of the place. Their
house is far the finest of any in the
community. but not so you'd feel it
that way at all. The Farmers club
when 1t meets there is as much at
home as in the humblest cottage. And
when Mr. Bryan sits down to the grand
piano and turns on the pianola attach
ment and says, just as common as any
body. Now let's have some music;
what'il it be?" why, that makes every
body feel right well acquainted. Some
body says, Lets have Pentecostal

The Oregon Ranching and Tim
ber Company, with Offices in New
York City, is the latest land
fraud concern to fall into the
clutches of Uncle Sam. One
E. G. Cooke, the head of the
concern, has been arrested at
Baker City. The Company
offered by circular to locate peo-
pie upon valuable timber claims
of 16O acres, government land,
advance money for expense of
proving up, etc., and then pay
the settler $4,000 for his place.
To secure these benefits the GUS
toner was required to buy $1O0
worth of the company's stock.
Cooke has the nerve to insist that
his methods are perfectly legiti-
mate, but may change his mind

A prominent member of the
Filipino Assembly, who has been
in St. Petersburg studying the
Russian douma, has become con-
v.nced that the attitude of the
United States towards its depend
encies is far better for them than
the treatment Russia accords to
Finland and Poland. He thinks
the Filipinos should go slowly and
carefully in the development of
legislative autonomy. The recent
resolution passed by the assembly
he does not approve, and fears its
unfavorable effect on American
opinion. The War Department
suggested the trip which three
Filipinos are now upon as a meas
ure of broadening the view of
their people by a study of the
government of Europe. The plan
promises much good for the Fill
pinos, for these representative
men will find that American con-
troll is greatly to be preferred to
that of any European power, and
that eventually the independence
of their people will be accom-
plished, which they never could
have attained by peaceful meth
DDS under European domination.
The education of the people of
the Philippines is a slow process,
but it is an uplifting one, and full
of promise.
