Hermiston, Ore, Sept. 11.-With a
view to informing homeseekers of the
advantages Of the Umatilla project,
the Umatilla Irrigated Lands COM
pany are placing agents in the various
parts of the United States and are pre-
pairing to bring several cars Of pros
pective purchasers within the next
few weeks.
The first of the week John S.
Hughes left in the interests of the
company for Iowa and Illinois. Mr..
Hughes has been the publicity man
tabhshed an enviable reputation as
successful advertising promoter. 1t
is expected that he will secure
large number of people from the mid
die west at an early date.
c. L. Morgan has been in the east
ern states for several weeks further
ing the interests Of the land company,
as is also ]. S. Green, president of the
corporation, and reports are being re-
ceived that there are hundreds of
homeseekers starving to come to this
locality next month.
1000 Acres in Alfalfa.
Those in a position to know have
made a conservative estimate that
close to 1000 acres of land under the
government ditch will be in alfalfa
by October /, and from the methods
being used it is apparent that the
work is being we'll done. Patches Of
less than an acre to extensive tracts
are being seeded and so far there
are indications that the yield will be
immense.
To a business man who has fol-
lowed the daily routine Of business
affairs unmindful Of the course be-
ing taken by the owners of a few
acres Of project land, this is start
ling revelation. It represents an army
Of workmen united in one effort,
many of which will be awarded with
success.
One thousand acres Of alfalfa next
spring would acreage at the lowest
figure three tons to the acre and
bring in good returns to the owner.
1t would also hail the advent Of the
dairy COW and be the initial step Of
making this a dairy country, while
the fruit is coming into bearing. The
honey bee would find this its natural
home and the road to prosperity for
the Hermiston valley would be open.

over-abundance of oil with all the zest
of an expatriated Tuscan.
At three o'clock they went to the
fencing academy of Foresti Paoli,
near the p~ost-ofice. Foresti was a fine
example of the military Italian of for
mer days. He was past sixty, but was
as agile as any of his celebrated pupils.

a pupil of Forests, and the veteran
was glad to see him. Merrfhew saw
some interesting bouts. and at length
Foresti prevailed upon Hillard to O

sician who nae formerly been amateur
champion of Italy. Hillard, having
been in the saddle and the open air
for two weeks, was in prime condi-

pretty handful. But constant practise

bent almost almost double, and the
flash of the whites of their eyes be-

he should love Florence all the rest of

They were entering the Via lorna

about. Only the old gardener knew the
secret of how these fish lived through
the chill Florentine winters. Yet, every
spring, about the time when the tour
lists began to prowl round, the little
goldfish were to be seen again, ready
for b-read-crumbs and bugs of suicidal
tendencies. Forming a kline of triangle
about the basin were three ancient
marble benches, such as the amiable
old Roman senator's were wont to
lounge upon during the heal of the aft
ernoon, or such as Catullus reclined
upon while reading his latest lyric to
his latest affinity. At any rate, they
were very old, earth-stained and time
stained and full of unutterable history.

which Alma-Tadema usually fills with
diaphanous maidens.
At this particular time a maiden, not
at all diaphanous, but mentally and
physically material, sat on one of these
benshes, her arms thrown out on either
side of the crumbling back, her chin
lowered, and her eyes thdughtfully
directed toward the little circle of dis
turbed water where the goldfish were
urging for the next crumb. Now, as
Phoebus was somewhere near four in
the afternoon, he was growing ruddy
with effort in the fina squirt for the
western horizon. So the marbles and
the fountain and h water and the
maiden all melted into a harmonious
golden tone.
Merrihew was not so pOetical as to
permit this picture to go or indefinite

Their hesitance, Indifferent to the fu-

vast happiness of the present, Kitty
laid her hand in his. He would have
drawn her into his arms had not they

tourists. Merrihew swore softly and
Kitty laughed.
On the terrace the tea-table dazzled
the eye with its spotless linen. its blue
Canton. and its bundle of pink roses.
Hillard extended his cup for a second
filing, vaguely wondering where Merri-
hew was They had threshed cont
mental politics. engineering. art and the
relative crafts. precious stones, astron-
omy and the applied sciences. music,
horses and geology, with long pauses
in between. Both knew i~nstinctively
that this learned discourse was but a
makeshift, a c~ircuitous route past
danger-points.
Have you ever heard of telling for
tunes in tea-grounds?" he asked.

marksmen from the range were return
ing cityward. They were dirty and
tired. yet none seemed discontented
with his lot. They passed in a haze of
dust.
The man and woman resumed their
chairs, and Hillard bent his head over
the cup and stared at the circling tea
| grounds in the bottom. The movement
gave her the opportunity she desired:
to look freely and without let at his

In the three days in Florence they
had been through the galleries and the
museums; and Merrihew. to his great
delight, began to find that he could
tell a Botticelli from a Lippi at first
glance. He was beginning to UNDER
stand why people raved over this style
or that. There was something so
gentle, so peaceful in a Botticeni that
he really preferred it to some of the
famed colorists, always excepting Vero-
nese, to whom he had given his first
admiration.
For luncheon this day Hillard took
him to Paoli's in the Via del Tavolini-
the way of the little tables. Here Mer-
rihew saw a tavern such as he had
often conjured up while reading his
Dumas; sausages and hams and bacons
and garlic and heeses and dried vege-
tables hanging from the ceiling, abrupt
passages, rough tables and common
chairs and strange dishes; oil, oil, oil.

"She was a poor widow living ON a
little farm two miles from Jonesboro,

Hardee fought the battle of Jonesboro,
in September. 1854, her house was for
two days under fire. According as the
fortunes OF war changed, it would be

troops. then within those of the Con-

both. Yet all the while she remained

army, sent her a large ~wagonload of
