Kingdom will take part in exercises Of
various commemorative kinds.
But London. where the great poet was
born. and Cambridge. where he received
his academic training. will see the most
important Of the gatherings that will pay
him tribute.
Cambridge is imperishably associated
with the name of Milton. He was a
most loyal partisan of his alma mater
and never missed a chance to boast of the
glory of Cambridge. which, even in his
day. was four centuries old
For the last six months. under the d-
rection of the curator of Cambridge, an
eager search has been in progress for
relics connected with Milton. Manuscripts
portraits and objects associated with the
poet in various ways have been collected.

Prominent Scholars Participate.
In July the fellows and master of Christ

Americans and votaries at the shrine CT

Here in the very spot where Milton
conceived many of his masterpieces, men
of three centuries later will gather to pay
their difference.
Shakespeare was still living and writ
ing when Milton first saw the light of
day in London in 1903. But the boy Mil

The first school Milton went to was st.
Paul's in London. He was then twelve
years old. After completing this course
he went to ChristS College, Cambridge.

1t is interesting also to know that Mr..
Bartlett is not only man of artistic
temperament, but trained technician.
Mr.. dorado Taft. in his valuable book on
American Sculpture" gives the following
quotation from the late Jean Carries the
great French pOtter-sculptor: Bartlett
spends his days in his studio. in his
foundry, not only giving life to his con-
ceptions and modelling them In clay. but
after the selection of the material it is he
who cuts and chisels He works like the
ancient artisan who spent days locked up
in his studio TO discover an artistic effect.
which to the casual observer may pass
unnotced but which to future connos-
seurs may establish not only the lasting
reputation of the artist but elevate ma
tional art. When his mind is fat gued
with working at some grand piece of
sculpture he seeks relief in modelling
curious reptiles small objects of art, and
he himself casts them "A cire perdue' !;
then comes the most fascinating of his oc-
equations. the making of patinas. Paul
Bartietts patinas vie with those of the
old Japanese artists; they are simply most
admirable Those who visited the Ma
tional Sculpture Society's exhibition in
Baltimore last April will probably remem-
her two small torSos of women-one stand
ing. the other sitting-which were modelled
with a classical grace and accuracy.
These were the work of Mr.. Bartlett, and
well testified to his accomplished skill.
An expenditure of $4,000 has been au-
thorized by Congress for the sculpture for
the House pedment. sufficient to amply
cover the cost, so the sculptor will not be
hampered by lack of means. nor will he
be hurried for time; hence he should be
able to do his best work-and with Mr.
Bartlett's best there should be no occ1-
son for diSsa tisfaction. That this impor-
TAM work has been intrusted TO such ca
pable hands must indeed be a matter of
much congratulation.

One Of the largest is Catlow valley.
which is 35 miles long by Is miles
wide. The land is a rich sandy loan,
covered with large sage brush. The
principal creeks are Roaring Spring,
Home and Rock. Most of the land
on the creek bottoms is held by the
large stock men, but the sage brush
land is still in the hands of the gov

Three of the eastern Oregon sur

through Catlow valley last year, and
there is good prospect of this feeder
being built when the main line is
completed across the state. The road

for a townsite. as good water power
could be developed there and the

The valley has not been developed
in an agricultural way, but the Tele-
gram correspondent has seen fine
grain and garden truck growing at
the Roaring Springs ranch. while at
the Home Creek ranch fine shade
trees and fruit trees were making as
nice growth as could. be wished.
The prospect is excellent for strik-

been struck at 35 to 100 feet deep

ALL FOR OPEN RIVER

DIR. \. e. Blalocl1, the Pioneer Open

Notes a Commendable Increase of
Interest in Sabject-Future Pros
perity OF Northwest Depends Upon
Making Rivers Navigablc.

A correspondent at Walla Walla
says of the growing interest in the
open river movement throughout the
northwest as noted by DR.. ~ G. Bla-
lock- the pioneer worker of Walla
Walla.
DIR. n. G. Blalock and Professor
John Lyman Of Whitman college, who
have been on a trip of education in
connection with the rivers and har-
bors Improvement campaign, return
ed yesterday with optimistic reports
of the work.
Twenty years ago when l under
took 10 advocate an open river prop
osition / was met with silent uncon-
cern from the people" said DR.. Bla
lock. The project then was consid-
cred visionary in the extreme. Since
then possibilities of open river have
begun to appeal to all the people of
the state. Now it is surprising how
eager they are to enter into any dis
cussiop Of the subject This same
change is noted by Captain Gray of
Pasco. himself a lifelong advocate
OF the open river who is affiliated
with me in the work
Il sent letters today to our con-
gressmen and senators urging them
TO do all they could to help secure
the passage of the rivers and harbors
appropriation bill which will be in
troduced in congress within a few
days. / told them that II had judg-
ed sentiment of the state Alright they
would make a great political mistake
II they did not favor the bill. This
measure will follow the general sug-
gestion Of the recent rivers and har-
bors congress, and will call for the |
appropriation of $500, 900, 900 for |
Improvements.
VIII Meet With approval.
This bill will undoubtedly COM |
mand the friendship of many con-
gressmen, for the reason that almost
every one of them has a constituent
cy that would benefit by some pro-
vision of the bill. or course, this is
an unfavorable time to secure ade-
quate attention to the measure, but
l believe that when it comes up for
consideration it will make such a
strong appeal to the people of the
country that congress will not dare
TO sidetrack it,
1T is not the intention of the
rivers and harbors congress to allow
the money appropriated to be spent
foolishly. 1t is their plan to have,
say, four commissions appointed to
look after the various interests Of the
country. These commissions will in
quire minutely into the needs of their ,
particular district, and then in a gen.
eral conference the share of each
commission will be determined"
