Green wood.

This is winter, lingering on the head
of March, and shedding, good for the
time of year, still continues. Let US all
hope it won't linger in the lap of May.
Yesterday the snow f1eas were out in
countless millions, and we would like to
know from what region they come, and
to what region they go when they leave
here il they ever do. We have searched
dictionaries, cyclopedias and natural
histories TO learn something about this
interesting little creature, but have
never vet succeeded. 1t seems that
nature saw fit to create it, as humble a
place as it fills, and why should the his
torian pass it By and refuse to notice it?
We have known George Clinton Cole,
who passed away on the 9th inst, for
more than forty years, and can say of a
truth that good man has fallen on
sleep. He was twice married and leaves
one daughter by his first marriage, Mrs.
Austin Morgan, and two sons and three
daughters by his second, and all are
married. OF the large family to which
he once belonged, only one brother now
survives. When living at Bryant Pond
Mr.. Cole had job there and boarded in
our family. He was a soldier in the
civil war and drew pension. Aged
about 81 years.
Alouzo Coburn Abbott, whose death
was reported last week, formerly lived
in Hartford and was our near neighbor,
and consequently were we'll acquainted
with him; saw him ordained and join
the Advent church. His wife was FL
della Putnam, who died several years
ago, leaving no children. She was one
of four daughters, all of whom married,
but only one of them ever became a
mother.
Mrs. Eliza Bryant Cummings, who
was buried in the family cemetery yes
terday, was the oldest daughter of the
late Christopher Bryant, and school
teacher in her girlhood days. Mrs. l..
d. was one of her pupils when little
girl, and won five cent piece for leav-
ing off at the head the most times in the
spelling class. She would now be glad
to have it in her possession for a sonve-
mir.
Thanks to Alfred Andrews for post
card containing picture of his resi-

OLD LANDMARK BURNED
Pioneer Home of Monroe Bryant
Burned, Together With Many
Chickens

The first home of Monroe Bryant,
built about 81 years ago, was burn
ed to the ground last Saturday. The
building was being used by A. E..
Olson, the new owner of the farm, as
a chicken house and the fire is be-
lieyed to have started from an in
cubator. About $50 chickens were
burned.
\ The building was of little value,
except as a relic, having been built
in the early 70s by Mr.. Bryant who
took the land as a homestead J. S.
Klemg gard said: The house was an
old one when we came here in 1881
and must have been built number
of years before that time, for it ap-
peared to be an old house then" All
of Mr.. Bryant's children died there
The house stood on the original
homestead entry of Mr.. Bryant, near
the grove, east of the fine, big house
which was built later to replace it as
a home for the Bryant family.

FOR PULLMAN DAY

Wednesday a meeting of members
and the executive committee of the
Commercial Club was held at the
Palace hotel to discuss the subject
of making a display at Seattle on
Monday, June IA, which has been
set aside as Pullman Day" at the
fair 1t was decided to prepare a
float or several floats, which will ac-
company the cadets on their march
through Seattle's business district on
that day. The float will either be
divided into three compartments, one
each to advertise the college, the
town and the resources of the coun-
try, or there will be a separate float
for each. Pullman ladies will have
charge of the booth in the Washing
ton building and will serve refresh
ments to visitors. The cooperation
of the Pullman colony in Seattle
is asked for and it is believed that
many former Pullmanites will assist
in making a good display for the
college town.

Times, in speaking of the flag, did not
have the fairness to say that the
flag was made in Pullman. Follow
ing is what the Times says of the
flag on opening day:
AT the signal from Washington
the great flag of the exposition was
broken from the tallest single stick
flag staff in the world, a gift to the
management from Representative
Howard Taylor, of Eagle Grove, King
County.
1t was cut on the timber lands of
Mr.. Taylor's company so far up the
mountain side that it had to be drag
ged down to the donkey engines by
tying it to the top of the tree below
it, then telling that, then tying it to
another tree and telling it, and so on,
the trees hauling the giant fir with
them in their fall. 1t was brought to
Seattle on four fiat cars.
The pole stands ITO feet out of
the ground. Twelve feet of it is set
in a circle of concrete SO feet in aia-
meter and | I feet deep. The staff
is two feet at the base and tapers
symm critically to four inches at the
top, and is almost perfectly straight.
1t was raised by the Seattle Engineer
ing Company.
