INSTITUTE HELD
FOR CANVASSERS
THREE WEEKS SESSION BEGAN
THIS MORNING AT COLLEGE
PLACE.
School for Purpose of Training Stu

Selling Convened.

COLLEGE PLACE, March 22.-(Spe-
ciaD-The annual session of the in
stitute for canvassers which is held
in connection with the work of Walla
Walla college began its sessions today

general missionary agent for the North
Pacific union conference has charge of
this branch of the work, being as
sisted by n. Z. Towne, who is now To-

New Type of Bungalow.

Cement Age describes a concrete
bungalow at Portland, Me-, in which
the exterior Of the house is Of con-
crete panels. The concrete panels are
but / inch in thickness, and besides
being remarkably light, are strong
enough to bear an immense weight.
The panels are reinforced strips of
steel wire, and in the tests applied to
them they withstood the strain of three
heavy men jumping up and down upon
them and showed no sign of injury.
They are crnamented on the outside
with raised figures, scroll work, ETC.,
from steel ceiling designs. The panels
were nodded in wooden frames on
base consisting of strip of steep CELL
ing. by means of which the decorative
design was transferred to the cement,
giving the panels an attractive ap-
pearance The wooden frames were
made of 3-inch stuff and the exterior
Of the concrete panel comes flush with
the wood, while the recess in the side
forms the interior affords two inches
of air space over the entire length and
width of the panel, the cement con-
crete being 1 inch thick. This is ac-
complished by filling the forms par
TALLY with sawdust or other material
before the cement concrete is poured
in, then turning the form over so that
the concrete can be pressed against
the steel ceiling design of the mold
After sufficient water has been poured
upon the composition to insure COM
pactness and perfect settling in the
mold, the sawdust filling is removed
the interior smoothed of nicely and
the completed panel is left to dry and
harden.

HISTORIC CALIFORNIA
MANSION RESTORED

LOS ANGELES March 22.-After
the lapse of almost half century,
the historic adobe mansion, the last
home of the last Spanish governor,
Don Pho Pico, near Whittier, has been
reopened by the Pho Pico Historical
society.
The rambling old house was the
first two story adobe structure to be
built in California and it's opening
marked an epoch in the history OF
the state.
The historical society, which has
leased the old structure from the city
Of Whittier, gave public reception
and a barbecue. More than 500 Wis
itors from Los Angeles and surround
ing town viewed the rambling ole
mansion and the achievements of the
society in the work Of restoring the
ruins.
The barbecue was in charge Of Joe
Romero and T. G. Yorbe. The latter
was one Of the largest land owners in
southern California in the day Of Pic
Pico.

.pELL|S|ER SHOT
BY A STRANGER
PROBABLY NEVER KNEW WHY HE
WAS KILLED, SAYS HIS
EMPLOYER.
Ray Williams Fired Three Shots Into
Foreman, Killing Him Almost
Instantly.

With the arrival of relatives and
friends in charge of the remains of
Joseph Pellisier, who was shot and
killed last Tuesday at Dove Springs by
Ray Williams, a new phase of the muir
der is explained and presents the mat
ter IN IN entirely different light than
formerly.
According to the story of Pellisier's
former employer, he never had seen
the murderer before the time of the
shooting and probably never knew why
he had been shot. Pellisier was shot
three times with a 1920 rifle, all the
bullets taking seffect, causing him to
die within ten minutes after the first
shot was fired.
The shooting occurred near a water
hole on the ranch where the murdered
man was employed and was the result
of bitter feud between the sheepmen
and the horsemen. Formerly this

Of and Mexicans owning sheep in that
vicinity became incensed desiging to

Following this resolve, Williams took
up his station there and laboring un-

were being ill treated, decided to drive
the horsemen out of the country.

SNAKES NOT ALL BAD.

North American Review.-It is a
matter of qualification, naturally, that
our snake was considered to be as in
telligent as his predecessors, but there
was really no need of exceptional acu-
men to enable him to play his part sue
cessfully. IF the devil took possession
of his body in order to- accomplish a
nefarious purpose it was the devil, not
the snake, who framed the enticing ar
gument for the unsuspecting Eve. IF,
again, it was Lilith who seized an op-
portunity to advance the cause of wom-
an suffrage, clearly twas her keen ap-
probation of the power of curiosity
that led to the fall. In either case the
snake was a mere dupe of one more
cunning than himself to further a
project in which he had no personal
interest and whose method of accom-
plishment was foreign to his shy in
clinations If he had been as crafty
as he has been reputed, can one suppose
for moment that he would have as
sumed role which was certain to win
the everlasting hatred of mankind
No; there have been and are good
snakes and bad snakes, just as there
have been good Ewes. like Godiva of
Coventry, and as there are bad Ewes,
some of whom we know.

City in Mourning Again.

The holiday over. the flags were
draprd again and foated out to mark
the mourning under the gray skies Of
an carly dawn.
Hours before the time set. even for
the commencement Of the private rit-
ual inside the residence Ca ritual wit
messed only by the relatives and close
personal fricndsl. the streets along the
route from Reiuanzaka to Hlbiya were
masspd with tens of thousands waiting
to pay their last tribute of respect.
At nine O'Clock there doomed one
gun that told Of the leaving Of the
prince for the last time from his home
TO one Of eIl-deserved rest amid the
highest honor that nation could af-
ford Within the precincts, as it
were, of his own home, there still at
tached to the outgoing the simple cere-
nonial. Out from the gates of the
Reinanzaka residence wheeled the i'm
periaI guard Of lancers, followed by
the men who bore the wreaths and sa-
cred trees, the gifts of Emperor and
Empress. the crown prince and impe-
rial family, the elaborate wreaths sent
as a mark of personal respect and re-
gard by emperors and kings, rulers
and presidents from the great coun-
tries of Europe and America. There
was no sound of ceremonious exit here.
And then there came the first note of
mourning that broke shrilly first and
then. sinking to mournful wall, strik-
ing deep down to the heart of every
one who heard it, and as the must
clans passed, playing upon their pc
culiar pipes, each head was barred and
Mt times nearby was heard a sob from
woman or sigh from man, the evil
dence of emotion pent up but irrepres
sible. And SO they passed down the
hill.

funeral march that has played to their
graves the greatest in this wide world.
Never did Chopin 5 march sound more
sweet and plaintive; never did the
roll Of drums make the hearts of
strong men throb more quickly and
bring to their threats the tightening
premonitorv Of outward display Of sOr-

up 10 the gates of Hibiya, where other

towering above all others, his white

ministers in gorgeous lace and uni
form were there to pay the tribute
of their sovereigns.
At noon the rain began to fall and
so for the remainder of the day as it
were even nature joined its sorrow to
that of human tribute. Under heavy
clouded skies the now diminished pro-
cession passed on its way out into the
suburbs where lies the other home and
the last resting place of Prince Ito and
there in the gathering darkness of a
wonderful evening the ceremonial came
to an end and a day that marks per-
haps a new era in the history of Japan
came to its close.

As the bier turned into the mark

strange thing happened. All Toxic
was hushed, all trans stopped, all traffic
suspended and so remained suspended
until the close Of the sad rites at the
park.
The effect was startling. Toxic
