St. Helens there are two English walnut
tree that were planted over twenty-five
year ago by Mr. V. B. Horse. We are
of the opinion that these are the oldest
and largest English walnut tree in the
State of Oregon, and for many years
they have yielded abundant crops. This
year is no exception to the rule, and they
will yield about twenty bushels of as
good nuts as ever came from California.
A small quantity of the old crop is still
on hand in excellent condition, demon
strating that they are good keepers. A
few acres set out in English walnuts
would be a safe and very profitable in
vestment, as their culture has passed the
experimental stage and they are demon
strated to be a success in Oregon.

'"Of course I would."
"Well, you stay." The fact is, Cor
telyou, I "don't know how I could get
along without yon "
And Cortelyou stayed.
As the months rolled by, Msxwell was
so mnch delighted with the quiet, skill
ful, rapid work of hiB secretary that he
fell into the habit of boastinz that he
had the beat stenographer in the shop.
He cracked up Cortelyou till his fame
reached the White House and Presi
dent Cleveland sent for him.
When CorteLvou started in at the
White House, it was as a stenographer
to the president. He wrote the presi
dent's letter. After a day or two, Cor
telyou thought it best to offer a little
explanation to th. man whose confiden
tial work be was doing, and so he said :
"Mr. President, perhaps you think I
am a Democrat. Cut I ttiiuk it is no
more than right I should tell you I am a
Republican."
"1 don't care a damn what your poli-
ftics are," replied Mr. Cleveland, "as
long as yon do your work well and are
loyal to your chief."
Cortelyou was such a good stenograph
er and a man so zealous and trustworthy
in all his work that President Cleveland
kept him and liked him. When 11c
Kinley was inaugurated, Cortolyou was
there, and became assistant to Secretary
Porter. He was the best stenographer
and man of business on the Wbite.llonse
stuff, and when Porter's health.. broke
down, it was the most natural tiling in
the world that he should be promoted to
the secretaryship.
When Boosevelt came in, ol course he
kept Cortelyou. Moreover, he stood by
the arrangement which McKinley him
self had made, and appointed Cortelyou
secretary of the Department ol Com
merce and Labor.
Todav Cortelyou is the center of all
eyes the chairman of the Republican
National Committe.
After the campaign is over he is to
take Henry C. Payne's place as pjost
uinster general. Thus, in ten years, he
will have completed the circuit. "
l'rettv good work in ten years, on
merit alone, without wealth or political
influence or anything but hia babit of
being the best wherever he is put.
