finished 4OOO-MlIe Tramp

Vigorous as a man of half his
seventy years, and striding out like a
soldier on parade, despite the forty
miles he tramped during the day,
Edward Payson Weston set foot in
San Francisco at 10 80 O'Clock on the
evening of July !. with his 4 1000 mile
journey from New York to San Fran
cisco completed.
The actual distance covered by the
white haired atheletic was 1925 miles
by the mile posts. but figuring the
thousands of times he was swung
from side to side of the way he has
tramped nearly 1900 miles The time
consumed on the journey was los days,
five hours and forty one minutes.
Starting on March Is. his SEVENTH
birthday, from New York Weston
has maintained a gait of nearly forty
miles day all the way across the
continent, pausing for rest only on
Sunday.
He was bronzed so deeply that his
flowing mustache. bleached to snowy
whiteness. shows with startling dis
tinctness against his rudy cheeks and
his age sunken form is oddly at var
lance with his sturdy stride and clear
eyes.
Weston's long road actually ended
at Oakland Molle, when he arrived at
8: 80 O'Clock the same evening. at
tended by crowd of admirers, who
had waited for hours for his arrival.
To Offset the ferry trip the pedestrian

With this accomplishment, the
journey ended when he walked into
the dispatcher's Office on the Mole.

Seattle fair Receives Praise

Seattle, July 27 -''I would deem
it favor to be permitted to express
my appreciation of the Alaska. Yu-
kon, Pacific exposition. said Mai.
Gen. ]. Franklin Bell, chief Of staff
of the United States army after
visit to the fair recently.
Il frankly acknowledge that /
didn't come to see the Exposition and
didn't expect to take the time to
visit the grounds. but now that /
have seen them. ] feel / wouldn't
have missed them for anything.
II have seen all the Expeditions in
the United States in recent years,
with the exception of the one at Port
land In my Judgment none sur
passed this in beauty or attractive
ness. though some were larger. This,
to my mind, IS by far the most at
tractive. The flowers make it espe-
cially beautiful. It's exhibits are
exceedingly interesting and its land
scape and architectural effects could
not be more effective.
In saving this am not inspired
by mere desire to be amiable or DO
lite. but by a genuine enthusiasm
aroused by the Exposition, because it
is clean and fresh and pretty and the
flowers impart perfume to the at
mosphere that is perfectly delightfnl
The cool weather has contributed
to my pleasure, as my keenest rec
objection of other expositions is of the
dirt and dust and discomfort due to
sitting heat.
Altogether. the exposition has
been most astonishing and agreeable
disappointment to me. Where l had
expected to see the usual thing, /
have found something so charming
that / shall never forget it.

10 Begin Constructing Power Plant

The Slick Bros. Construction Com
pany have been unloading at this point
the past week their grading and con-
structing outfit which they are taking
to Cane Falls. They will begin work
on the large power plant at that place
for the Canadian company represented
by Mr.. Shelter. 1t is proposed to
erect the largest electric power plant
at Crane Falls in the southern part
of the state and on this part of the
Snake River.
The company is trying to make
arrangements with the landsholders on
the Chattin Flats to furnish power
for pumping plant for irrigation,
but satisfactory arrangements have
not been concluded to the present
time. Electricity will be supplied
the various towns in this part of the
state for power and light, and very
reasonable rate will be made for same.
The Slick Bros. are just completing
the King Hill irrigation system on
which they have been working for
nearly year. Their work there is
highly satisfactory and was done as
fast as it is possible to handle such
work. Part of the crew landed at
Crane Fails last week and commenced
work the first of this week. 1t is
expected the entire construction crew
will be at work next week.

A Barber Shop Incident.

From the New York Globe
A Hudson-Fulton celebration visitor
plainly the worse for Jubilant wear and
tear, made his way unsteadily down the
subway stairs at Fulton street and ap-
preached the ticket seller.
Say, I wanter hair cut an shape,
he remarked, closing one eye tightly.
And possibly BATH" suggested the
kind-hearted subway man. But you
can't get hem here. This is no barber
shop. Run along and play"
Then things happened-the visitor,
taking the initiative, but coming to
grief eventually. AS he picked himself
up on the street, to which he had been
violently assised, he pointed a reproach-
full finger at the two poles a the sub
way entrance which support electric
light globes.
These were wound about with colored
bunting-one with the red, white and
blue; the other with the colors of Hud-
sons flag.
THAT Teller mus be liar was mis-
comment as he passed on his way.

A glance into the academy library,

the fact that reading is fostered not only
as an art. but also as a potent factor in

Nerve in which this truly American

A pleasing factor on the program will
be Miss Rosa Roma, wife of Chester N
Sutton, manager of the local Orpheum.
Miss Rosa is a violiniste, and has been
more than successful elsewhere in arous-
ing the enthusiasm of music-loving au-
diences. Other acts on the bill are:

Clark Martinettie and Joe Sylvester, the

Bamboo Church oraan.

The most curious of all of the old
organs is the organ of bamboo in the
barrio of Las Pinas, philippine Islands,
says writer in Etude. In this instru-
ment, Padre Diego Cera built himself
a monument in bamboo. and no more
interesting and unique memorial could
be found When he went the Philip
pines in 1855 to build organs, there was
neither metal, nor suitable wood, nor
leather, nor pipe metal. nor wire, nor
keys. nor anything else with which
organs were wont ITO be builded.
With a genius equal to an eighteenth
century Edison, Padre Cera rose to
the occasion and built an organ of
bamboo. The old pipes are of every
size down to an inch long, and the
cane that has stood there much over
a hundred years is as hard as iron
and apparently might last for thou
sand years to come.

afraid they would not get out with a
whole skin. II it were a vaudeville or

The great battle of Shiloh had Just

batting whether it was victory or a
defeat.
Suppose at last spoke up the one
who was smoking a cigar, I'VE leave
1t to the umpire. That's the latest
Boston style of deciding battle"
subsequently, however, the question
was settled to the satisfaction of ev-
erybody by the general admission that
the conflict had been won by the vic
tors.
