May 4.- John Bradley, St years old. killed himself this morn ing by taking strychnine. Shortly be flre he died Bradley became conscious and told the honpltal attendant that he waa tired i of living. The Lewiston excursion returned yes terday, every member of the party -enthusiastic , and willing again to cele brate anything that Lewiston T wants celebrated, . Notwithstanding the soft roadbed on the new line the train pulled Into Lewis ton on time, and the alr was noisy with the screams of every whistle that Lewlston could muster and it. masters no inconsiderable number. A reception composed of business men was at the depot with two bands, and without a by-your-leave they rounded up the Porilanders and marched them in a body to the Commercial club, where ex Senator Hellfelt, who Is now mayor, made the welcoming address. His speech brimmed over, with the kind of feeling that! made his Portland hearers believe Lewlston and Portland were one so far bs all their material Inter ests were concerned. ' . Taken to Tlew Orchards. ' "fhe party was put aboard automo biles and- carriages again without a by-your-leave, la fact there was not an opportunity all day long for the In dividual visitor to exercise his own initiative and whirled away for a view of the city and of the Lewlston orchards on the bench just back of the city. Here were inues anu roues or an al most level plain laid out as perfectly In streets and alleys as -the most metro- ?olltan of cities. JSvery lot contained Ive acres of ground covered with young fruit trees, Every lot was fenced witu a uniform woven wire fencing. Many or tne nyaranis connecting witn the burled irrigating system had been turned open and made fountains of wa ter pernaps so reel or more in neigni The water company, which is a Port tend concern financed by Walter F. Burrell and associates, had erected a boot!) where' wines, grown on the prop erty, were served. Many a rortianaer there learned for the first time that at Lewlston in Idaho they grow grapes. and Tfter tasting the wine was a little nurp..ea wnen torn mat tne grapes from which the wine was made had taken prises at the biggest fairs against the best crapes from California. On some of the orchards the names of the owners had been painted on white board signs and many of them were names of Fortlanders. - In the afternoon the reception com mittee provided motors and carriages for a visit to the Vineland-Clarkston district where 8,000 persons live well on earnings from 2,000 acres Of laud, an average of less than four acres to the family. ' It speaks something for the fertility of Mack dirt when men are content with, the product of, only foul acres. - t . The official name of the eelebratlon was the "Blossom Carnival"' but not a blossom was to, be seen.'' Providence this year had not waited for the first of May, or for the opening of the Ri parla cut-off. But there was a world of young fruit everywhere, the apricots ana almonds already forming. Every automobile and every carriage stopped a moment before one pleasant cottage where lived an old couple, who are said to be making $1,000 a year from their single acre of orchard ground , Bosinese Interests Cemented. In. the evening a smoker was given by the reception committee to the visitors, at which, ex-Senator Heltfelt presided and speeches were called for and de livered by many of the Portland delega tion, who with nice phrases . cemented the union of Portland's and Lewlston' a business Interests. -;, . "A navigable river from the Grande Rondo to the Pacific" was the slogan of the meeting held Saturday evening. Portland business men were guests of honor and the speakers all dwelt on the vast Importance of the opening of the. Snake and Columbia rivers, v t W. W. Cotton excited the utmost en thusiast by the prediction that Lewis ton is destined to be ths great Inland distributing point, nd ultimately a large city. James Bi. Babb and tu, xi. Llbby made welcoming addresses. J. JJ. Teal urged the vast importance of utilising i the power in the rivers. "From their headwaters to their mouths the rivers are living dynamos," he said. His appeal for a united stand to obtain improvement of the great waterways was received with enthusiasm. Swlgert, W. W. Cotton and Herman- Wittenberg followed with brief addresses. While trains will, not begin running regularly on the Rlparla cut-off until the next wheat crop is ready to move, the opening of the road is expected to give lmmed late stimulus to this region.
