Some Beautiful Thoughts on the Value of Tree and Flower Culture by the Young Paper by Superin tendent Welch, of Montana. The public schools of Pendleton will plant roses this year upon Arbor Day. The 'aluc of the aesthetic will be the theme, and the rose planting will bo to suggest to the young people that the culture of flowers' is refining, purifying and strengthening to the better nature. The date is not yet set. W. W. Welch, ftate superintendent of schools of Montana, recently pre pared the following to emphasize the value of Arbor day observances: "Peasant Odors of Fresh Verdure." "Our annual Arbor day, coming as it does Tvhen buds are casting off their marvelous coating, when the air is redolent with the pleasant odor's of the fresh verdure; when grove and arbor and meadow are being peopled with the musical, guests returning from- their temporary banishment, when gaily heralded awakening of sleeping forces kindles the heart to matin praise, is the opportune season for planting the seeds of appreciation and love and tfefined instincts and great thoughts. If in the celebration of Arbor day the children grasp the idea that in planting trees they are doing the state and posterity service, the act will bring them the sense of manly responsibility. If in this springtide festivity the fine thoughts and poetic conceptions of the grace ful interpreters of Nature's loveliness shall find lodgement in the hearts of the young people, much will be ac complished in initiating a taste for the brightest in our literature. "The literature whose charm is the greatest, whose color remains the warmest, and which is ever fresh and alluring is that inspired by the song of the brook, the beauty of the flower, the grandeur of the tree, and the sub tle mystery of the humblest plant life. Lessons, of deep significance lie in the tributes paid to the modesty of the violet, to the mountain daisy, to the wild apple tree, to the mountain ash, to the sturdy pine and to cheery songsters or the air the close com panions of trees and flowers. If young men tmd women dislike nature study and nature literature it is sim ply because the early spontaneous friendship for the forms of plant life is not lifted to the plane of intelligent study and Interpretation. "The basis for systematic study of these things in later life must be laid in early childhood. There is no need of learning many long names and be wildering technical terms. A sympa thetic is better than a technical touch with nature. The eye should be re inforced by sympathy, for the child will learn to study what he has learn ed to love. The child is fortunate who plants a seed and is Jed to un derstand, as far as a child can, the germination, its growth, Its leaves, and their work, its flowers and fruit. So Is the child fortunate who can learn to enjoy the inspiring chapters of Thoreau, Burroughs, Darwin, Wood and numerous other keen observers of, and delightful writers about plant and animal life. Many writers of less reputation than these in the realm of. literature, in fact, nearly all true verse and prose poets have given ex pression to lofty sentiments preserv ed for our enjoyment In our libra ries. "Hand in hand with tree planting, with flower study, with training of the eye to observe sharply and compare discriminately should go the books that should now be found in every school library, and which every teach er .should learn to use wisely and persistently in the "development of the children's culture. The books should be considered a substitute for direct study of the multitude of phases of plant life, growth, utility and beauty, but should stimulate and supplement observation. Many of the most mar velous things that delight and in struct remain hidden mysteries to un Pros and Bweet and free from every ggjjHS-gSSsjwnnd luilr preserved. purinea, ana beautified by Obticuka Soap. lit prevent the icaUBCorplupIei, ' blackhead., rod.

At times we must look through the eyes of a master who has spent a lifetime in patient, enthusiastic labor and has pointed out and illunim.tted the way for those less favorably endowed with capac ity and opportunity. "There is already much evidence that our Arbor day exercises are re sulting in practical measures for the preservation of forests, in restoring trees to school grounds, to the road sides, and to places otherwise waste, where often the blackened stumps remain as witnesses of ruthless and indiscriminate destruction. Motives of false economy have often prompted the denudation of our hills and val leys. True economy, persistently taught to the children, will greatly help in giving back to the bare land scape the beautiful, noble relief of graceful trees. Let the children be Impressed with the utility of tree planting, and while they are learning the usefulness and unselfishness ot the service, let them be Inspired with the poetic sentiments of a Holmes, a Lowell or a Wordsworth. An In- culcatlon of such a union of motives In the minds of the thousands of our boys and girls will eventually accom pllsh far more than forestry assocla tions or forestry statutes In securing the protection and planting of trees "While ceremony, music, gay dec orations, rambles in the woods to gather the early' wild flowers and lis ten to the sweet notes of blue bird and robin, are all legitimate enjoy ments to mark the importance of Ar bor day, yet the larger purposes must not be lost sight of. By naming the tree that is planted after some cele brated author or hero, and then let ting it die of neglect, a very doubtful honor is confencd upon the person sought to be commemorated. The good judgment of some experienced tree grower should be solicited and followed ip the selection, planting and care of the trees and shrubs, which arc dctiied- to ornament the sfliuil grounds. If the nursling can be coax ed to thrive during the first summer after the shock of transplanting, then some watchfulness be exercised over it the second year, It may generally be trusted to largely take care of itself thereafter. Probably a commit tee appointed to see that the plants have proper attention, with the un derstanding that the members are to give a report of their stewardship at some future Arbor day, will tend to fix the responsibility and obligation definitely enough to insure the neces sary interest. There is much to in dicate that our teachers are ready to take hold of the means by which they may increase the efficiency of serv ice to their communities and to the state. Proper Arbor day celebrations or similar exercises are not the most Important work of the schools, any more than graduation ceremonies, but they appeal to the children's love of the beautiful and picturesque, relieve the necessary monotony of humdrum work, and leave pictures and impres sions that remain for a lifetime to en shrine the school house and its asso ciation in the darkest memories of childhood."

Alvln Wade, the young man who, emptied his slx-sliooter into William Harris near Pilot Rock two weeks ago, will have his preliminary hear ing before Judge FUz Gerald Friday afternoon. The ulal was to hayo been on Monday, but owing to tlio fact that Mr. Harris did not feel able to appear before the court in his be half, it was postponed until Friday. Young Wade is out on $150 bail, which was furnished by his father, Harris is not over the effects of the shots received In the hip, but is able to get out of the hospital and Is not now experiencing much pain from the effect. He will soon bo able to at tend to his duties again. An attempt will be made at the trial of Wade to prove that Harris did not shoot at all. There wore no witnesses to the shooting except two brothers of the young man, and they all allege that Harris did shoot. They claim that he drew his revolver first and presented it, but did not shoot until Wade had fired three shots. Then ho fired three shots, according to their story. Steer for Sale.

ROSE FROM RANKS J. H. ROBBINS RUNS FOR THE LEGISLATURE His Candidacy Causes his Friends Here in Umatilla County to Wish That he May be Successful He Has a Record of Which He May be Proud. Over hero in Umatilla county thousands of people aro hoping that J. H. Robblns may be elected to the legislature from Baker county, and, say those who profess to bo acquaint ed with the political situation there, and kn. w the high standing that Mr. Robblns has among the residents of that county, there is no doubt that he will po to Salem next winter as one of the representatives. "Why shouldn't Jake go to the leg islature?" asked one of his friends hero, when he learned that Mr. Rob blns had been nominated unanimous ly by the democratic convention at Baker City. "Ho knows almost every man in the county. He was brought up there, educated In Baker City, wonted In the mines when a boy, as si&ted in developing the resources of that district, secured capital In later years to invest in the properties that were worth developing, and perhaps has done as much as any other man in Baker county to bring the atton tion of the world to the mineral wealth stored in its treasure hills. He Was a "Mucker." "During tho early days, Mr. Rob bins hold a very responsible position In tho mines where worked. He was a 'mucker,' or In other words, presid ed over tho destinies of the ore enr, and every miner Avill know that that is no sinecure and that tho person who furnished the motive power to push one of those cars earned his money. Also, with hammer and drill he bored down into tho rock and helped to extract therefrom the yel low metal that went to niako the cleanup. "There isn't a spot In that part of the Blue mountains with which he is not familiar. He was one of the early prospectors, and had much to do with finding out where laid tho all the gold veins that have placed Baker county at tho head of the list of promising camps in the United States. , "Let me see," said the old miner, as lie talked over the affairs of his friend, "I almost renibmbor to a day how old ho is. I saw him enst his first vote, in 18S0, and it was In the very section whero he now lives. Jake was educated at the old Baker City Academy, and spent nil of his boy hood days In the mines. 1 don't sea any reason why ho oughtn't to know what sort of legislation is needed by a mining district." Just as Old as the State. Whio in Pendleton yesterday, en route to Portland to attend tho con vention, Mir. Itobhins was In conversa tion with sovoral friends, all of whom engaged In guessing each other's age. It transpired that Itobhins Is just two months younger than the state of Oregon as a member of the Union. Ho was born three miles east from Salem In 3859, June tho 12th. He lived in eastern Oregon sinco 38G2, and attended school at Baker City Academy from 1872 to 1879, ho "euring what academic education lie received In that institution. The nibney that was paid by him to se euro that education was earned In the mines of that region, in serving In all sorts of capacities from '"muck er" up to positions of greator Im portance.

Confidence In Him Here. Thore nro many reasons why pco plo over here wish Jake Robblns well. Ono 1b because he has always exhib ited true public spirit, was always at work doing something to develop the country. Ho manifested tho same disposition In La Grande, in Sumpter, in Pendleton, and now shows no ten dency to fnll off in his enthusiasm for projects that mnko for hotter growtli wherever he has Interests. Public spirit Is, perhaps, the keynote of his character, with Integrity thnt Is known to bo absolutely unimpeach able. From this town nlone has been luvcsted at his instanco an oven $400,000 in various enterprises, which Is by no means a small tribute to the confidence in which ho is held in this community. "It isn't Umatilla county's fight, of course, said ono of tho men who wore of tho group here discussing the nom ination yesterday, "but, if It wore, you may rest assurred that he would go down to Salom with n hnndsomo a majority as a man could nsk for.
