The Famous "Green Man Of Brighton"

The Famous "Green Man Of Brighton"
In October, 1906, an individual was
to be observed at Brighton, England
who walked out every day dressed in
green from head to foot-green shoes,
green gloves, green handkerchief and
other articles to match. This ecccn-
trio person lived alone, knew nobody,
and in his house the curtains. the wall
paper, the furniture, even tic plates
and dishes and the smallest toilet ar
ticles, offered an uninterrupted Sc
quence of green. Having started On
his career, there was obviously no rea-
son to stop, and with full consistency
he carried his scruples so far as to eat
nothing but fruit and vegetables of the
same green color The consequences
were extremely disastrous. One fine
day the green man jumped from his
window into the street, rushed forward
and performed a second somersault
from the top Of the nearest cliff.

The freshmen entertained the

Darling Lecture Was Great

If the first number of che Red
path Lyceum Bureau course is
any criterion Of the succeeding
numbers the people of this local.
ity can congratulate themselves
on securing some of the best en-
tertainment available for the
coming winter months. The
opening number of the course
was a lecture by Nels Darling,
which was delivered Wednesday
evening at the Orpheum. The
house was well filled for the occa-
sion and to say that all got full
value for their money is putting
it mildly. Mr.. Darling is. an ac-
complished talker and decidedly
witty and kept his audience con-
vulsed with laughter during the
entire lecture. He spoke first
upon economic matters nationally
and then came down to the treat
ment of local conditions in the
community and the way he
handed out short arm jabs to both
townsmen and farmers was a
sight to hear. He played no fav-
orites and presented naked facts
in way to cause his hearers to
view local matters and conditions
in an entirely new light. While
some of his statements may have
been overdrawn, they in most
cases hit near the mark and his
visit here is almost certain to
prove of material benefit to all
who heard him.
The second number of the
course, The American Quartet,
will appear here on Thursday
evening of next week and will
undoubtedly draw a crowded
house. The quartet will furnish
music after the entertainment
for a threehour dance at the
Odd Fellow hall

State Surveyors Near Town

Engineer Burns, who has

o. south state highway across
h. Camas prairie to the Lewis coun-
- ty line, is now camped with his
os crew of men at the Goeckner

surveying crew completed the To-

q bird to the prairie last week.
The old route up Chapman creek
al was abandoned as being entirely
II unfeasible and new route was
secured around the Tolo point
near the Soderburg place. After

west and then north for four

the surveying party to run the

nate this route as the final loca-

he state a total of $154, 900. He

the state a total of $154, 900. He
spoke of the Coffin attempt to
graft $14, 900 from the state for
attorney fees when he was never
employed for such purpose and
how this had been headed off and
would be defeated. He referred
to his carrying the case to the
state supreme court and forcing
the big irrigation companies of
south Idaho to deliver water for
irrigation purposes to the starv-
ing settlers on some of the tracts,
thereby establishing the fact that
the waters of the state belong to
the people of the state and not to
the large corporations.
The governor told of how he
had been opposed at every turn
by the professional politicians
and Office seekers but had gone
his way and did the best within
his power and judgment for the
taxpayers of the state and that
his meanest enemy would not say
he had not been governor in
every sense of the word while he
had occupied the chair.
The governor was listened to
with closest attention throughout
his discourse and was frequently
applauded when making some
telling point. His meeting was
one of the largest ever held here
and the audience was composed
of members of all political parties.
The meeting closed after w.
B. Hussman, candidate for repre-
sentative, had made a few re-
marks, and as the crowd dis
persed expressions could be
heard on every side commencing
the statements of the governor
and expressing faith in him as
the man to fill the chair for the
next two years.
From this place Governor
Alexander went to VoIlmer and
Nezperce, where he held en-
thusiastic meetings. He returned
to Grangeville for a rousing
meeting last night and left this
morning for the northern part of
the state where he will complete
his itinerary.
