Feat. That Never Happened.

A grotesque and foolish view Of the
west leads many who are not ac-
auainted with that part of the county
to perpetrate amusing blunders re.
garding the possibilities of the typical
western weapons, the rife and the six
shooter To shoot an animals eye out
Mt hundred PAGES is a common feat
in wild west literature, Sometimes it
is done with a six shooter-in type, not
anywhere else. OF course, no man
can see the eye of an animal that far.
/ have had a good riheman tell me he
could cut off a robins head at hun
dred steps. The truth is that he could
not see the head clearly that far. You
read that the desperate Slade could
with a six shooter at fifty or sixty
steps hit man in any button of his
coat that he chose, but you may be
sure that neither Slade nor any on
else could do anything of the kind
Even trick and fancy shooting ut its
best could ever cover feats ascrlbed as
matters of course to the average from

fiction who never saw the frontier

o'BRlEN ON wALLowA COUNTY

In a recent number Of the Chamber
of Commerce Bulletin, Mr.. j. p.
O'Brien, vice president and general
manager of the o. r. & N, toward
whom the people of this county feel
very kindly because of his active
interest in securing the completion
OF the railroad into Wallowa valley,
had an article on the relation or
railroads and development in which
he gave the following about our
resources: en- the valley there are
10000 acres of land susceptible
of cultivation and in addition pro
badly $4,000 acres Of higher bench
lands which are e. able. Respecting
this section he says: "It is safe to
say when fully developed there will
be from 10000 to $4,000 acres annu-
ally In wheat, some of which are
capable Of producing that cereal in
its highest state of perfection.
practically 40 per cent of the
county Is we'll timbered and needs

EXHIBIT OF FAIR WOMEN
Interesting Portraits by Famous Art
lists Shown in London.
QUESTION OF ART OWING BEAUTY
Mrs. winston Churchill of Opinion 1t
is Possible Beauty Owes some
thing to Art for FavOrs
Rendered.

LONDON, March 1S.-The second half oil
the international society's exhibition is now
open, and, following last years precedent,
II is called the Exhibition of Fair Women.
Mrs. Winston Churchill, In the little
speech she made when opening this section
Of the exhibition, remarked that it is a
nice point whether art owes more to beauty
than beauty to art. II must be admitted
that some of the portraits shown must lay
more claim to art than beauty; that is to
say, IL they are to be reckoned as types Of
fair women, but as these are by no means
the least interesting part Of the show. no.
body will quarrel with the organizers for
including them.
One OF these is Monticellis Femme aux
cheveux Girls and another is Edouard
Manet's portrait Of his mother, the latter a
steTn-festured woman, well past middle age,
who In her s~pringtime would nave laid
small claim to beauty. But what an intelll-
gent face it is and how admirably 1t is de-
picted.
Another portrait that hardly answers to
western notions OF beauty is that OF
"Radoubah, Princess OF Cabul," painted by
Omar Meherah. The princess may have
been reckoned handsome in her native land.
but thus transplanted she looks very quaint,
being drawn with eastern disregard for per-
s~pective, her body facing the spectator and
her head turned to the left. while her feet
are in profile to the right, aerial perspective
being equally ignored in the painting.
Every form Of art has its own conventions
and the conventions Of eastern painting,
though they seem to US crude and barbaric,
undoubtedly give a more complete express
sion % the east than modern painting, with

the rest of the scheme OF chiaroscuro;
there is no other hint of sunshine and the
dabs of bright paint in the foreground are
merely put in because some light color
was needed to balance the composition.
Opposite to 1.-THE Duchess of Sutherland
Is the portrait OF Lady Henry Bentinck,
by J. J. shannon; also a full length por-
trait of a lady in a garden. This is much
more satisfying as a picture. for the lady
is wearing a suitable costume and the
garden with its mass of crimson holly
hooks is treated as part of the whole
scheme and not merely put in as an after
thought. The portrait Of Princess Patricia
OF Connought, also by shannon. was seen
last year at the summer exhibition at the
Royal academy.
Beautiful Portraits Numerous.
There are 80 many beautiful portraits
shown that almost every one is worth
mention. The Empress Eugenie, by Win
~terhalter; Lady Colin Campbell, by Boil
DIM; Lady Evelyn Farquhar, by Layery;
Mrs. Leveaux, by c. +. Kelly: "A Young
Irish Girl" by orpen; ''Th Lady in Furs.'

whistler Gold Girl.
This picture hangs next to The Gold
GIRL by Whistler, than which no greater
contrast could be sought In the whole ex-
hibition, for 1t is full OF movement and
also full OF atmosphere, like all of Whis-
tiers work. The Gold Girl is Connie Gil
christ, who is now Countess of Orkney, but
when the picture was painted she was a
child with her hair down her back, dressed
in tights and high boots, as she appeared
on the stage doing a turn with a skipping
rope.
To say a picture is by Whistler amounts
to praise, and so complete Is his painting
as a rule that the unfinished look of the
head in this instance is all the more no.
tlceable. Probably time has emphasized
the sweeping brush marks of muddy paint
used to correct the drawing OF the head
and making II stick 10 the background.
On the opposite wall to The Gold Girl
hangs one of the most perfect Of whistler's
works, "The symphony in White No. g.
which created a sensation In 1867, when it
was first exhibited.
Not far from The Old Girl" hangs Sir
Joshua Reynolds beautiful group OF
"Georgianna, Duchess Of Devonshire, and

accepted as perfect types Of portrait paint
ing that one greets them with a pleased
sense OF security that a century, and more
Of modern competition leaves them in their
exalted position.
