A Veteran Corresnondent.

Few among the thousands who en-
JOY the youthful vim and enthusi-
asm of Walter Wellman's special dis
patches in the Chicago Record-Heralo
are aware that with the present year
Mr.. Wellman will round out quar-
ter of century as Washington
correspondent. The Record Herald
always has been noted for the brit
lance Of its special correspondents,
but Mr.. Wellman's career reaches far
back of the consolidation which
gave the paper it's present name.
Walter Wellman was born in
Mentor, Ohio, in 1858. At the age
of fourteen he began his newspaper
experience by founding weekly pa
per at Sutton, Nebraska. In the next
dozen years he was laying the foun-
dation for the success of later years
In 1884, when he was still young
man of twenty-siX, he was intrusted
with the responsible post of Wash
ington correspondent of the Chicago
Herald, a position which, through
all his polar quests, and various
changes in the paper itself, he has
held with undiminished honor to the
present day. In that quarter of a
century he has won a national repu-
tation as a magnetic and forceful
writer, shrewd political prophet,
genius at news-getting and dar-
| ing explorer.
| r -. " s. -
In 1892 Mr.. Wellman visited the
West Indies for his paper and located
the spot where Columbus Handed,
marking it with a stone monument
In 1894 he made his first dash fol
the pole, reaching the latitude of 81
degrees northeast of Spitzbergen. II
1898 he tried again penetrating a.
far as Frans Josef Land and map
4 ping many islands that had never
before been explored. Two year.
later he made a daring attempt t.
cross the Arctic ice fields in an ali
ship. Mr.. Wellman has not We

er will, but he has given abundan
proof of his courage and persever
A ance. His chief laurels, however
have been won by his years of splen

SOME LIKED IT; OTHERS DIDN'T
Dogs Of the City are Given q Flee
Preventive Bath.

Dogs or the City are Given o Flee
Preventive Bath.
There was fun for everybody who
happened to be on Main street, near
Seventh, late Tuesday afternoon.
The dogs of the city, six or more OF
them, were given bath in a tank
at the rear of the stand Just west
of the Harvey hotel. 1t was flee
preventive bath. Some Of the ca
mines liked it, others didn't. First
a short-haired bull was dipped in
to the solution Of water and some
thing stronger. A shaggy cur fol-
lowed him, then another fox ter
ror and then another. Next came a
pointer, big fellow, who stood in
the tank with his back out Of the
water He tried to keep out Of the
way and 1t was with difficulty that he
was placed in the recepticle. Once
there, he stood shivering while the
solution was poured over his back.
The amusing part of the performance
came when an attempt was made to
remove this dog from the water.
The men working with him mad
vertently lifted his hind quarters
over the side of the tank with the
result that the dogs shoulders sunk
and his head went under. He was
finally landed on dry land, but the
rope about his neck did not stop
him. He broke for the open and
got away and with another more
fortunate dog yelping at his heels
made rapid fight west on Main
street. Almost every owner Of a
dog in the vicinity brought his ca
nine to the tank for treatment, = = 3
but in one instance a large shepherd
refused to take the cure by being
Immersed. The men about the tank
coaxed and petted. but to no avail,
and as last resort the solution was
poured over the animal from a Tin
can. He showed his teeth once or
twice, but that was all. The dogs
given the bath had the appearance
of feeling better afterwards.

SAYS COLONEL TIPPED BOWL
William Il. Tucker Always Under In
fluence, Says Relatives.

Chicago, May 11.-Col. William
r. Tucker was always under the in
fuence of liquor, according to the
statement of Mrs. N. B. Payne, a
cousin of Mrs. Tucker, a daugh-
ter of General John A. Logan, VINO
is suing her husband for separate
maintenance. The declaration was
made in a deposition in answer to
a queary regarding the conduct of
the colonel and Mrs. Tucker toward
each other in their daily life in
1898, while Mrs. Payne was living
at the Tucker home at st. Paul. She
said that their relations were amic-
able, but that Mrs. Tucker was UNI
happy because of the colonel's con-
slant drinking and his irritable dis
position. She said that the colonel
came home in a maudlin state one
evening and that Mrs. Tucker went
to the door and went to pieces and
cried for at least an hour.

pHELAN TELLS OF CONFERENCE
Former Mayor Of Frisco Tcstifics
in Calhoun Case.

San Francisco, May 11.-Former
Mayor James D. Phelan, an urgent
advocate of more beautiful city,
took the stand Tuesday during the
trial of Patrick Calhoun and his
testimony covered controversies over
the installation of the overhead and
underground electric propulsion
systems on the lines of the United
Railways. He told of a conference
with the supervisors and the street
committee in 1905 and said that his
protest against overhead trolley
wires and poles was made
because he believed that San Fran
cisco was as good as Washington or
New York and entitled to as modern
transportation, and, also, that he
saw no good argument In favor of
overhead construction outside of the
lesser cost to the company.

.HARDWOODSO EAST
TO Be GROWN HERE
United States Forest Service
Will Make Experiments on
Pacific Coast
Success of Project Will Mean
Much to Furniture and Ve=
hicIe Industries

The Pacific coast will soon be the
scene of an interesting tree growing
experiment The United States forest
service is planning to introduce a mum
ber of the more important eastern
hardwoods into California. and will
this year experiment with chestnut
hickory, basswood. red oak and yellow
poplar or tulip trees Small patches
of these trees will be planted near
the forest rangers cabins on the ma
tional forests, and if these do well
larger plantations on commercial
scale will soon be established on wider
areas.
There are more than 125 different
species of trees in California, number
of which produce some of the most
valuable varieties of lumber in the
country. Although considerably more
than thalf of the species are hard
wood or broad leaved trees, yet with
the exception of the exotic, eucalyptus.
there is not q single species of hard
wood here ranking in commercial i'm
portance with the leading ca stern
hardwoods. China tic conditions in
many parts of California are undoubt-
edly favorable for the growth of a
number of the valuable hardwoods, and
the absence OF these trees is due
mostly to unfavorable factors of seed
distribution
If the experiments are successful
valuable asset will have been added TO
the forest resoJNces of this state,
which should prove of special benefit
to the local furniture and vehicle in
dustries Chestnut and red oak are
highly esteemed for furniture, while
with hickory, Eastwood and eucalyptus
at It's command California should lead
all other states in the vehicle industry
