Children under 10 yean, 5c FAMOUS EDUCATOR'S BIRTHDAY Dr. Nicholas Butler, head of Co lumbia University, member of the National Civic Federation, member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters and almost every other schol astic organization in this country and several in Europe, Is 49. He was born April 2, 1862. Dr. Butler Is without question, one of the half-doz en leading men in education in the United States. The honors which have come to him are as great as those which have been shown to any man In the country, for to be a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters means that one has achieved notable things in "art, music and lit erature." The membership of this so ciety is limited to 250 persons. As an index to the personality and character of the man. It may be stat ed that Dr. Butler is a close friend of Colonel Roosevelt, and during the lat- ter's administration as president of the United States he offered Dr. But ler several high places, among them the ambassadorship to the court of St. James. What is especially note worthy is the fact that he Is now com paratively a young man. Cambridge University, England, has conferred upon lilm the degree of Doctor of Laws. He has lectured at the unl versities of Copenhagen, Stockholm and Christiana. (Special Correspondence.) Adams. Ore., April 3.

McMURRAT General passenger Areot PORTLAND, OREGON. SPOKANE IS PREPARING FOR ARBOR DAY CTLEBRATION Spokane, Wash., April 4. One of the most unique and wholesome spec tacles ever witnessed on this contl nent will be the cleaning and special arbor day celebration in Spokane the latter part of April, when the city commissioners will cooperate with the residents in an effort to make Spo kane a "spotless town." Mayor Wll Ham J. Hindley will proclaim a pub' lie holiday to start the campaign after which the city beautiful committee of the chamber of commerce and allied organizations will take charge. "Our arrangements are not yet completed," Mayor Hindley said, "but I believe we can bring out from 45 000 to 50,000 men and women, in eluding railroad and bank presidents, manufacturers, wholesale and retail dealers and society matrons, on the opening day to assist In beautifying the residence districts. The city crematory department will take care of the business streets and alleys, and special detachments of firemen will be on hand to avert fires. The refuse will be destroyed under their direc tion." Aubrey Lee White, president of the Spokane park commission, is the or iginator of the municipal cleaning day plan, first worked out In this city early in the spring of 1906 through the city beautiful committee of the 150,000 club, now headed by C. Her bert Moore, formerly mayor of the city. It has become an annual Insti tution In Spokane and has been la ken up by other cities in the United States and the dominion of Canada. The city beautiful committee is de clared to be one of the best organ ized bodies in America. In addition to the chairman and permanent sec retary, there Is a vice chairman In each ward, a captain in each pre clnct and a lieutenant In every block within the incorporated city limits. There also is a joint committee of 20 business men, making up the sub committees on cleaning day, public buildings, parks, driveways and al leys, streets, bridges anl tree plant ing. The Joint committee meet twice a week, when plans are submit ted for discussion, and upon adoption the work is carried out through the captains in the various wards. The older boys in colleges and high schools are organized to assist tho officers of the association In report ing districts or lots that require at tentlon. The captV.ng and lieutenants of the companies of boys make tours of every block In their neighborhoods, to oversee the work. They are suu pllcd with blanks to make reports on the location of ashpilcs, refuse-littered alleys, neglected lawns and trees and broken fences and sidewalks, and-as soon as these are checked the work of betterment begins. The success of the several cam paigns resulted In the formation of & civic plan commission, consisting of 50 liberal and esthetically educat ed business and professional men to work out a practical program for water, sewer, transportation, parks and boulevard system and municipal art In Spokane for the next 60 years ! Experts declare this Is one of the most important and farseelng pieces of London, April 4. While every one is busy preparing for the corona tion, tho real estate agents, who were ahead of all others in volume of trade a few weeks ago, are beginning to worry. When the rush for houses and apartments was on, they rented the less desirable places first, reserving the choicest ones for the later com ers at top-notch prices. Of course, rich Americans were the ones for whom these choice places were prin cipally intended. These same Ameri cans, however, have "gotten wise to tho proposition, and not only have many who were depended upon to spend the season in London decided not to do so, but several who leased houses have forl'eite their Initial pay ments as the cheapest way out of a bad bargain and will summer in oth er parts of Europe or stay at home. One of France's famous men has just celebrated his eighty-sixth birth day. It is Augusta Gaucher, widely known as the champion wine taster in the world, who Is now living in re tirement at Montlemis, in the de partment of Indre-et-Loire. From his youtli he possessed that rare gift which the French wine expert do scribes as "having a tongue." At the age of i0 Augusta Gauoher's palate was already widely appreciated by wine growers and vinters throughout France and rarely was a big contract signed without his verdict in the par ticular growth. Gaucher pursued his connoisseur's vocation for fifty-five years and he kept minute records of all the wines he sampled in the course of his professional career. When he retired at the age of 715 he had tast ed from and certified 400, 0U0 barrels of wine. He ' received many civic honors. ' The sudden Illness of Lord Crewe has done more than anything else to make prominent the weakness of the liberal party in the house of lords. With the exception of Lord Morley '.hey have not a man there who can fittingly lead the party, now that tho able and popular Crewe is absent; and Lord Morley, in retiring from the India office, openly announced that he was seeking repose. Britain's min isters ure over-worked. Since the liberals came Into power at the end of l'JOS they have led strenuous lives and this has turned the hair of the cabinet prematurely grey. It is a matter of general comment that there is scarcely a member of it who has nut aged more rapidly than the length of this service warrants. Three gen eral elections in five years and four extra autumn sessions of parliament together with the preparation of a record number of bills, have produc ed a mass of kadministrative wor which is proving too much for min Isters and opposition leaders alike. ' The new Russian Imperial rail way train in which the czar and czarina travel, Is said to be the most luxurious in the world, eclipsing even the kaiser's elaborate train de luxe. The czar's train consists of eleven cairiages. It is entirely on the cor rl! r system, is fitted with electric bt la and lighted by electricity. The carriages of the emperor and empress ar ; in ';:i mid'lie of the train. The en.pn ,' drawing i oom has the walls coven .1 ith pale rosu silk and her bedch i ii. er Is hung with light blue satin, ihe furniture being covered with l.nylish cretonne of the same col or. Each sleeping saloon has a bath room and dressing room attacked. by the fact that he uses his dining sa by the factthat he uses his dining sa loon for a study and It is there he transacts all his business with the help of his two .secretaries. Germany is deeply bitten with the boxing craze and as one travels about in train, in street car or in the street one hears continually excited talk about "boxen matches," "cleenches' and "obercuts." In the Tlergartenhof In Berlin contests are held almost dally, and tough young men from over the sea are doing their best to turn slow footed Germans into active fight era. It Is the same in Leipzig, Mu nich, Hamberg and other important centers. In the lower ranks of the army boxing is also becoming popu lar under tho encouragement of sport ing officers. I No Permanent or Effective National Guard Can lio Built Up Without Adequate Pay. I am ctrongly of the opinion that no permanent and effective national guard or reserve army can ever be built up unless the members thereof are paid and paid adequately, for the amount of training required is con tinually increasing, and as this train ing must be obtained outside of the time which each Individual devotes to his business or trade, it is becoming more and more burdensome. More over, the organized militia, which comprises perhaps 1 per cent of the unorganized militia, is doing the work which ought, in a republic, to fall up on every voter; that Is, the prepara tion for service in war for the de fense of the country.
