Meacham in the work of arranging an
appropriate exhibit urged the business
men of this section to realize the i'm
portance Of the event and the neces-
that will interest visitors in south
eastern Washington. He told of the
"Walla Walla gusher" that is to be
located at the end Of Riverside ave-
nue., in plain view of all visitors, and
gave brief description of decorative
features that have been planned. He
tossed few fragrant bouquets in the
direction of Mr.. Meacham, who ac-
copied them with good grace, and
later returned some.
In his remarks, the publicity man
ager gave an inventory Of the work
done during the ten weeks he has been
in charge of the department, and as
sured those who might be inclined to
doubt, that the real Walla Walla was
under way.
"A child might want it's piece of
pie" said he, before the oven is hot;
and some business men want returns
from the publicity campaign before
they are due-that only proves that
they are novices. To the impatient
ones I will say this: The Greater
Walla Walla is under way"
He said that what was needed here,
more than any other one thing, was
self realization, and cited the opinions
of prominent fasteners who have
been here within the past few weeks
to prove that the Walla Walla valley
contains resources and possibilities

THE HUNGER FOR LAND.

There are 20 applicants for each
parcel of Indian lands that are under
allotment by the government in the
northwest. The spectacle makes ap-
stead The desire for his own vine
and fig tree is inherent in every social
unit Even a nomad loves to have a
spot of green earth that he can call
his own. The artist who first grasps
an adequate conception Of a true home
scene and names it "contentment"
will write his name large on the scroll
of fame
Destiny created no man to be a waif.
1t was never intended that the first
land he should occupy should be the
six feet of earth that comes at the end
of career. To be adrift in life with
no freehold for a haven of refuge is
a journey over an uncharted sea with
out rudder or compass. The world
was made wide so there would be
room and home for every man. 1t is
the tragedy of the race and dark blot
on civilization that there are crowded
tenements and congested cellars in
the cities. 1t is an indictment of the
epoch that wee children must burn out
their eyes and toll out their lives
fashioning garments for pittance in
gloomy garrets. Carnegie has an in
come of $2,500,O00 a month. In spite of
his philanthropies he is growing
richer He has more money than he can
give away. He is literally money poor
in the midst of a world of poverty. He
made $4,000 600 in a few weeks out of
the stress of the 1907 panic Yet with
all the country's wealth and all the
great outdoors of lands and trees there
is a multitude that is landless and
jobless. The 20 applicants for each
parcel Of Indian land afford an exam
pie. The thousands scurrying into
Canada are another. The rush Of the
many whenever irrigated districts are
available is still another. 1t is the
cry of the landless for homes and
natures good soil.
Safe is the nation that is rich in
home owners. Wise is the counsel
that advises multiplication and extern
sion of irrigated areas. The home
more of them the safer is the socia
structure. Every tenant transformed

Washington: Showers this afternoon
and tonight Wednesday probably
fair
Weather Conditions.
A low area of pressure over the
northern Rocky mountain states has
caused showers in the north Pacific
states and the precipitation area eX-
tends eastward over Montana and
southwark to northern California, and
Nevada Rain also fell in Colorado
Kansas and Oklahoma and in the
Ohio and Mississippi valleys. There
has been a fall in temperature in the
Rocky mountain states and very
considerable fall in Nevada. The in
diCations point to a continuance of
showers in this vicinity during this af-
ternoon and tonight with a probability
of fair weather Wednesday.

The irregularity of Walla Walla
streets was. perhaps, one of the most
noticeably unique things about the city
to Mr.. Miller, who said streets in the
cities of his native state were almost
invariably laid out i perfect squares.
The variety furnished by Garden City
thoroughfares was one of those things
that impressed the speaker as it does

never a garden on the face of the

Real Estate Association.
To further the work of the publicity
campaign, Mr. Meacham announced
that meeting of real estate men who
are members Of the Commercial club
will be held in his office next Friday
evening at o'clock, for the purpose
of taking preliminary steps for the
organization of real estate mems
association. The object of the as
ISOLATION will be primarily to give the
| land seeker a good impression Of the
valley, and when one dealer is moi
able to make a sale, the customer may
be taken into another dealers office,
and thus be enabled to see other bar
gains and receive considerable at
tention
Something Lacking.
Rev. j. c. Reid brought up the
question of additional assistance at
the Walla Walla booth at the Seattle
exposition, saying that hundreds of
visitors pass the booth daily, with no
one there to give them any details
regarding this section. Fair Com
missioners O'Neil and Ritz, he said,
are kept more than busy, but are un-
able to care for all the visitors who
are attracted by the unique display
from this valley. He urged members
of the Commercial club, when at the
fair, to give a small portion of their
time to explaining details to visitors
to the booth.
Rock crusher Coming.
Although he said people in general
had become somewhat exercised be-
cause of the apparent delay in getting
the rock crusher for this county,
President j. M. Crawford was of the
opinion that it might be well to talk
like railroad men and assume that the
crusher was going the other way.
But we are going to get it, just the
same" said he.
Mr.. Crawford also spoke briefly up
on the ational Irriagtion congress IN
Spokane, and dwelt upon the import

ing from this section of the state.

TRAGIC Tale Of Z Traced Ian.

''The awfulest add the funniest
stage wait I ever lived through, said
Z sprightly English actress, twas when
a certain well known London actor
manager, whose name Il, dare not
divulge, was doing a tremendous curse
scene ION a darkened stage. He had
the audience spellbound with his
sonorous defamation, which, Of course,
they didn't know depended largely
upon his ample mouthful of false
teeth. At the very climax Of his blood
curdling maledictions the entire dental
collection dropped out suddenly in the
excitement of the moment and bound
cd into some obscure hiding place. The
tragedian's mighty voice died down to
an unintelligible humble as he CROPPED
about frantically In search Of the miss
ing masticators. We were all too help
less from laughter to be Of much help
in this critical situation. At last, after
what seemed like half an hour of the
most hysterical suspense, the stage
manager located the teeth with the aid
Of dark lantern and restored them
to the frantic star, who clapped them
into his mouth and began cursing
again with redoubled earnestness.

Quicksilver.

The ore from which quicksilver Is
obtained is brilliant red rock known
as cinnabar. When of high purity it
is actually vermilion in color. CHINA
bar Is the original source Of the pig
ment known commercially as vermil-
ion. 1t is compound Of sulphur and
quicksilver, and in order to separate
he latter from the sulphur the rock is
roasted. Passing of in the form Of q
gas, the mercury is afterward con-
densed and flows out in fine stream,
like a continuous pencil Of molten sill
yer. Like gold and silver. mercury is
occasionally found in a native or pure
state Sometimes the miners pick
penetrates a cavity that contains a
cupful or more of the elusive and beau
tiful fluid. Miners suffer much from
the poisonous effects Of the quicksilver
fumes. Extreme cleanliness IS the best
safeguard for workers in this danger
Gus occupation. Use is also made Of a
sort of lemonade which serves to a GER
tain extent as an ant1dote, a strong
acid taking the place Of lemon Juice
in the composition Of the drink.

4 Caroline Islands Legend.

A Caroline Islands Legend. ~
The Caroline islands group includes,
besides coral islands, Ave mountainous
islands of basaltic formation, beautiful
and fertile with rivers and springs
Among the many queer legends Of
these children of the Pacific there Is
none more highly improbable than
their theory as to the origin Of these
islands and their Inhabitants. They
think they themselves were very
strong in the water-in fact, they lived
in it. The story goes that woman
and her children were floating around
on the reef when man appeared from
the west with basket Of soil on; his
shoulders. He had started out to make
an island with mountain on It. One
Of the children cried out to him, "Give
us little soil to make place for our
mother to rest, for she is very weak
and cannot SWIM" He took out a
handful Of the earth and threw It
down, making an island. AS the man
was going on his way over the water
the son slyly made a hole in the ,bas-
ket, so as he proceeded on bis way he
left a trail Of land behind. Suddenly
he became conscious that the basket
seemed light, and, looking around, he.
saw the land. In his anger he turned
about and trod upon it, and thus the
islands were formed. :...y; < ~

Valley City had a pretty hot school
election. Harvey Pray was a candi-
date and the Tim es-Record opposed
him, stating that he must be put off
the map because he intended to line
up Barnes county for Senator Nc
Cumber. Evidently the people of
Valley City did not fear that Pray's
election would be a public calamity,
for he was elected by vote of 500
to 233. The Times-Record admits it
was splendidly licked, and the Pa
triot devotes a score or so of para
graphs to Packard and Ployhar.

The 0oraons.


The Gorgons were creatures Of Greek
mythology, mentioned by Homer and
Euripides as being of peculiarly abhor-
rent aspect. Their hair was composed
Of serpent1, their bodies covered with
scales and girdled with reptiles with
heads erect, vibrating their tongues
threateningly, while the hands Of the
Gorgons, adorned with sharp talons,
were Of brass. The gaze Of the mon
STEERS was deadly, all upon whom they
nxed their eyes being turned to stone.
One Of the three terrible sisters was
conquered and beheaded by Persers,
and as he took flight In the air en- route
for Ethiopia, holding the severed head
in his hands, the drops Of blood which
fell from it became serpents, which
ever after infested the sands Of Lybia.
