BOUQUET FOR EDDY
St. Paul Dispatch Hotel Reporter
Says Some Things About the
- Sauk Centre Man

Frank Marion Eddy, the versatile
citizen of Sauk Centre, Minn., who
has done everything from running a
country paper to running for congress
who won congressional fight in
1895 and quit the paper, has taken to
the Chautauqua circuit, writes the
hotel reporter of the St. Paul Dis
patch. Towns in Iowa have been
listening to his oratory, and the Ed
dy exchequer has been fattened some
what thereby. But the Minnesotan
came home for Christmas in time to
cut juicy slices from a home grown
goose.
"When / came to Minnesota in
1862" Mr.. Eddy said at the Merchants
hotel yesterday, Canadian wild
geese were here in great fiocks. We
used to shoot them and pheasants
from the back door of our cabins.
Eve seen a whole quarter of deer
traded for q dozen pheasants. I'm
hungry for some wild game now, but
l can't see well enough to Shoot,
A pair of eyeglasses with lenses al
most as thick as plates, adorn his
nose. He says his eyesight is failing.
If big buck deer should stand
twenty PAGES away he probably would
ask, "Who is that gentleman?" Mr..
Eddy is getting advanced in years,
but his mind is active and clear, and
he is looked upon as one of the best
orators of the state.

One of them was awfullJ struck on
Grace. We found out he was a
baronet-that is, he's going TO be a
baronet as soon as six of his brothers
die. He was rather modest about it
himself. But Pepper was so delight
ed he insisted on calling him my

he'd invite us all to visit his baronial
halls, but he didn't. They had to
squeeze up pretty close to get every

tickled to death to do it, guess. He

London, because we're right in front
of one of those American bars that
used to make Pepper and George so
tired. They said the cocktails tasted
like hair-oil. There! isn't that fine
one? It's Saint Peters at Rome!
Don't you see it? Right there, that
little mushroomy thing between Grace
and Ella. I suppose IL we'd taken
down our parasols you'd have seen it

the Lido was lovely. Oh, i guess

body is coming here to make iLvestiga-
tiOns. The hrst hearing will be held in

later the commissioners shift to the

Navy officers connecte with the gov

that the state of Washington should
establish a nautical school for instruc
ton in navigation and naval tactics on
Puget Sound 1t is said that euch an
innovation would be an important step
toward making the Northweat the fore
most naval base on the Pacific Coast
Should the state provide fer such
school it is said that the navy depart

take charge The school would also be
a notable encouragement to the rehabili

and Mrs. T. w. Walters.
Wealth of Fruit Hanging From Well
Laden Trees, Which Finds Ready
Market in Spokane and Montana
Cities Sub Irrigation Seen.

One of the beautiful places Just out
side the city limits Of COfax on the west
is idle Hour" the home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. T. w. Walters Idle Hour reaches
to the crest OF the ridge, but is a COM
plete amphitheater nesting in vale on
the east. Here it is protected from the
bleak winds of winter and enjoys the
rays of the sun as it glints over the
horizon from the east.
Mr.. and Mrs. Walters are pioneers of
this region as the word goes. They
came here 26 years ago, bought the rich
tract OF land now known as Idle Hour,
have reared their children and prospered
and give promise of living many years
to enjoy all the blessings of this favored
land. Mr.. Walters occupied the Congrp-
gational pulpit here and at other places
in the Inland Empire for many years,
but now breaches only on special occa-
siOns
a Commercial Orchard.
Mr.. Walters has disposed of all his
land holdings hereabouts with the Pxcep.
tion of Idle Hour, which he intends to
keep as a home as we'll as a source of
revenue. This beautiful spot consists Of
10 acres. When he bought it few ap-
pie trees had been planted two years
previous, trees now % years old but the
entire tract was set out to fruit trees OF
various kinds, mostly apples, making a
commercial orchard known far and wide
for the excellent quality OF fruit grown,
besides being a steady source of income
to the owner. The writer enjoyed sew
eral hours the first Of the week in walk
ing through the orchard and looking at
the wealth of fruit hanging from the
well laden trees. The veteran trees
planted % years ago, with knarled
trunks and wide-spreading branches,
look the patriarchs that they are, but
are loaded to the gunwaIes with apples
that are being picked or will soon be
gathered to find their way to various

Brooks received his education for the
ministry; the Kings Highway, over
which Washington travelled going from
Mount Vernon to Alexandria and over
which Sherman and his army marched
from the sea- the home of George
Mason, author of the constitution of
Virginia and the bill Of rights; the York

first in peace and first in the hearts OF
his cOuntrymen." The original estate

was later named Mount Vernon in honor
Of Admiral Vernon. The first portion
Of the mansion was built in 1743 by
