BUSINESSMEN
NEED ROOM

The regular luncheon at the as
sembly room of the chamber of
commerce indicated that the quar-
tiers are already too small for that
growing body and the luncheon was
served to the late corners only after
the others had left the tables. This
condition caused considerable com.
ment on the growth of the chamber
OF commerce and the need for a
home of its own.
Thomas J. OBrien added inter
est to the situation when he was
introduced as visitor from Salt
Lake City. He told of the doings
of his home commercial club and
stated that one member had donat-
ed 100000 lot for new chamber
of commerce building and that
$250,000 had been raised through
bond issue to erect the building.
The speech struck popular chord
and President Goodall expressed
the hope. that the Spokane donor
would not be backward.
Notice was given that the recep-
ton to Rear Admiral Evans will be
held at the Hall of the Doges at
noon, March II. A limited number
OF tickets will be disposed of.
Today was Palouse day and a
numbe rof representatives from
towns in the Palouse were present,
Including e. F. Campbell. secretary
OF the Pullman Commercial club,
DIR. Smith of Grangeville and r. p.
Turnkey. mayor of Rosalia.
The following new members were
announced: j. M. Moore, Lormor

WANTS
CLERKSHIP

Senator Jesse Huxtable would
like to be the clerk of the new de-
partment of the superior court, but
there are about a dozen others af-
ter the job. Clerk Atkinson has so
far made no announcement and is
keeping his own counsel.
Charles Uhlman, now holding a
place with the legislature at Olym-
pia. and Van Murphy, former bailiff
in Judge Hinkle's court, will be
the new court bailiffs. Charles
Rich and Murphy will probably be
assigned to Judge Webster's court
and Bailiff Maxwell and lUhlman to
Judge Hinkle's court.

POOR OLD KELLY, HE
FELL DOWN AND DIED

Kelly, old kicking, switching KEEL
ly, that familiar old horse belong
ing to the Pacific Transfer Co., fell
on the pavement at the corner Of
Wall and Main this morning and
died of his injuries a few minutes
afterward. Mr.. Lawrence, boss of
the transfer company's barns, was
riding the old animal at the time of
the accident, but was not hurt In
the fall. Kelly, with his uneasy
hind legs and ever switching tail,
has been a familiar sight about the
different railway stations for the
last eight or 10 years.

the war; some things personally know. and others from weatherford himself, and he was truly what the Indians called him Billy Larny. or Yel- low Billy was one of his names: his other was Hoponicafusahia. or Truth maker or Teller. And as Colonel Pic kett has failed to give us a story of the war of 1886 and 1897. in Alabama and as I participated with him and others in that memorable struggle to see who could get first into Mir. Bel ser's paper and for fear that some may die of1 and not do 1t will write that out and send it to you.
 It will be seen that have alluded to Colonel Johnson and that there were some doubts as to his killing Tecumseh; it matters not who killed Tecumseh. Colonel Johnson proved himself a distinguished man. not only as a soldiers but in everything else he undertook. And that is a subject that I should not have alluded to here, but I see in Colonel Picketts history he says that Dale saw Tecumseh at the council with the Creek Indians in 1911 which I am certain Is incorrect. Per- sons that have not read Colonel Pic kett's History of Alabama will lose much of my meaning. And notwith- standing many of the Coloners picture are highly wrought and his foiSnation the modern Creeks and their war of 1s12-13 with the whites are imperfect

 Dear Sir, Whenever a biographer or one who writes sketches Of the lives ~sof others. no matter whether they be true or false. so long as he speaks In praise of the individual about whom he writes, he never can be charged, with malicious wrong doing, unless by chance or otherwise, he raises the rep utation of his hero at the expense Of another But if an individual from the best motives undertakes to correct errors to set mankind Ight fin relation to the true history of men and things, ;. he is often charged with being infu- enced by. or from malicious motives. or something worse: particularly should he write the least thing that would dim the lustre thrown around some favorite by a kind hearted and visionary biographer.
 while living could brook the idea of thanking a man. that after he was dead, would emblazorr -fe wrold fame that he was not entitled to. or ascribe to him deeds of daring that will no doubt be censured by some But what need I care for I am now old and I will soon appear at place where a life time of truth will be worth more to me than all the good or bad opinions entertained of me by those leave behind.
 have been looking over Colonel 7 Pickett's sketches, relative to General Sam Dale. And find them so utterly incorrect, and the history of the man so different from what I know it to be I must at least be allowed to say that the historian had fruitful im- agination, or has been egregiously Imposed upon, or perhaps both. But ,ah justice to Col. Pickett, I must say !, that If I knew. a pan with little merit ' that had seen SAe hostile Indian eas few teeth pulled out, few eyes and nose operated on. and a few fingers ampu- tated. who wished his life written while living or after he was dead and 1t praised according to the most ap- proved style. by modern light readers I would recommend the Colonel to him or him to the Colonel.
 For taking into consideration the subject of the Coloners workers and the material he had left him to work with he can certainly color a picture as high as it will bear at least

He Knew Dale Both in Georgia and Alabama and He Tells the True Character of the famous Frontiersman.

The true character of General Sam Dale, perhaps, the most noted of all the Alabama pioneers and Indian General Thomas Woodward, which formed the present installment of his "Reminiscences
 Dale is the most noted of all the lAlabama pioneers. He is to Alabama what Daniel Boone was to Kentucky. He fitted we'll into his times strong and generous man, more than ready for fight. brave and popular with all who knew him. Naturally such pre- dominating figure in the pioneer popu- lation of Alabama appealed to Col. Pickett when he wrote his history, General Woodward. Dale's contempor- ary, charged that Col. Pickett colored the picture too highly when he pre- sented the Alabama pioneer. He may or many not. but certain it Is that Dales life had deep impress upon the State in it's formative period and stories of his deedsk including the famous Canoe Fight on the Alabama river are recounted to this day and have been recounted for nearly hun dred years. Dale county Is named Tor him.
 In his history Col. Pickett did not deal with what service General Wood ward rendered. He does not figure largely in the pioneer period as pre- sented in the History of Alabama. It Is possible that Colonel Woodward who achieved distinction and who himself was prominent among the pioneers resented this. tEditorial)

pretty wedding Wednesday morning at
eleven o'clock, when Miss Lucy Pruitt,

Pruitt, of Stockton, Md, recently of
this city, became the bride of MIR. Earl
Merrill, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Merrill, of Pitts Creek. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. w. l.. S. Muir
ray, pastor of the church. Attractive
floral decorations consisted of a mass of
palms and ferns, in the midst of which
a canary bird poured fouth volumes OF
song, as Miss Ida Smullin rendered
several beautiful selections on the pipe
organ. The auditorium was filled with
relatives and friends. The ushers were
Messrs. Granville and Woodward Mer-
rill, G. w. Dixon and Charles Matthews.
Mr.. Dewitt Merrill. brother of the
groom. was best man. The bride was
attended by her sister, Miss Mary
Pruitt. as maid of honor. The bride
wore beautiful gown of white silk,
deliberately trimmed in spanish lace,
with veil and orange blossoms. She
carried a handsome bouquet of bride
roses and maiden hair fern. The maid
of honor was attired in a dainty gown
of light blue silk, and carried bouquet
of white carnations and ferns. After
the ceremony the bridal robe was
changed for astylsh travelling suit, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Merrill boarded the noon
train for Washington, d. c. On their
return home they will reside at Pitts
Creek, where the groom is engaged in
agricultural pursuits. The bride is an
attractive young lady and made quite a
large circle of friends during her resi-
dency here. We wish them both long
and happy welded life. Ledger Enter
