Tired of Living.
(United PrtM Leased Wire.)
I-on Angeles. 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.
NIGHT RIDERS RUIN
. TOBACCO OUTLOOK
Lexington Ky., May 4. Through the
methods of incendiarism and intimida
tion, adopted by the Society of Equity
and the "night riders," the prevention
of the raising of a crop of tobacco In
Kentucky in 1908 seems a certainty.
It is estimated that not more than
10,000.000 pounds will be raised in the
whole state.-where usually more than
160.000,000 pounds are grown.
; Manv tenants are leaving Kentucky
because they say they cannot make a
living for their families unless they
raise tobacco.
