PIONEER J D AHO DAYS.
Reminiscences of Major Fetin, Super
intendent of Forest Reserves.
Major Fenn, superintendent of for
est reserves In Idaho, fell Into a rem
iniscent mood the other day, says the
Boise Statesman. He recalled the
first public school In Iduho, at which
he was a pupil. That was in 1864, at
Florence. At the first Besslon of the
legislature In this state the public
school lnw of California was adopted,
with a few minor changes, to fit con
ditions In Idaho.
Major Fenn's father, who was a
member of the assembly, returned to
Florence that winter and formed a
public school district there. The di
rectors sent to Ohio for a teacher,
a Mrs. J. H. Robinson, who charged
the district $100 per month for teach
ing six scholars, who were Major
Fenn, his oldest sister, since dead, a
brother and three other boys whose
names the major does not recall.
"Those were great old days," says
the major with a sigh of reminiscent
relief.
'I remember In the winter of 18(4
a child was born at Florence. The
mother was very 111 and unable to
nurse the little fellow. He was kept
alive a couple of days with crackers
dipped In brandy, there being nothing
like milk In the camp.
"One of the miners happened to
remember that on his way up the
river a few days before he had seen
a band of sheep being driven In to be
slaughtered. He recalled that there
was a lamb In the herd. Without con
sulting anyone he strapped on his
snowshoes and hit the trail.
'He found the sheep and the lamb,
likewise thq maternal ewe. He car
ried the ewo back to camp, and the
baby waxed fat and sassy. The baby
Is now city treasurer of Baker City.

QUEEN ESTHER" REHEARSALS.
Making Splendid Progress, Rut More
Tenors and Alton Are Needed.
No story Is more thrilling In Its be
ginning or more tragic in Its ending
than that of Esther, which tells of the
downfall of one of the greatest prin
ces of ancient history, and the exal
tation of a man from a very lowly
station In life to fill his place In the
household of the great king, Xerxes.
After Xerxes had put aside his self
willed and obstinate wife, Vashtl, the
king selected the beautiful Esther to
be his wife and queen, not knowing
that she was of Jewish origin and a
cousin of the Jew, Mordecla, who was
one of the keepers of the king's gate.
Human, the king's chief advlBor and
favorite, having become angry to
wards Mordecla because the latter re
fused to pay him homage, to be re
venged obtained a decree authoriz
ing the destruction of all the Jews In
the Persian realm. Human was not
aware of Esther's relation to Morde
cla, and this fact occasioned his
downfall, for when Mordecla discov
ered the plot of destroy his people,
he Informed the queen of the con
spiracy against them and she, at the
peril of her life, by going unbidden
before the king, made personal Inter
cession and had the decree revoked.
When the king learned of the unscru
pulous designs of his premier, Ha
inan, he ordered htm to be hanged
upon the gallows he himself had pre
pared for Mordecla, while the Jew
was given great wealth and power in
the kingdom.
The entire- story has been set to
beautiful music and will be given
complete with 100 voices and full or
chestra at the opera house December
14 and 15.
The large chorus Is deeply Interest
ed In the work of preparing the opera
for presentation. A number of good
voices Joined the chorus on Saturday
evening. A few more good tenors
and altos are needed. Singers are re
quested to come In early this week.
Practice will begin at 7 p. m. each
evening. There will be nine more re
hearsals before the opera Is given.
AN INTERESTING PIONEER.
Mrs. Rebecca Hunilston, Who Died at
Milton Saturday, Crossed the Plains
Alone With Her Children.
Milton, Dec. 4. (Special.) Mrs.
Rebecca Humlston, the well known
pioneer of this city, who died here
on December 1, at the age of 80 years
and eight months, was an Interesting
pioneer woman.
Mrs. Humlston, whose maiden
name was Rebecca Kerr, was born In
Ohio, In 1839, and was united In mar
riage to William Morrison. Mr. Mor
rison died five years later, leaving
her with two children. A few years
later she was married to William
Broxson, who died a few years after
at Emporia, Has., leaving her with
five children by Broxson, making her
a family of seven children, two of
whom had moved to Walla Walla In
the early days, and who wrote to
Mrs. Rroxson to come west
In 1864 she started with her five
small children to cross the American
desert with a yoke of oxen. Mr. Fo
ley of Athena was In the party with
which she came west On the way
one of her oxen died and she was
loaned an ox by some one In the
train.
.She arrived In Walla Walla In the
fall of 1864 and resided there with
her children until 1883, when she was
married to Beslle Humlston, who died
in 1904, at their home in Milton.
Since his death Mrs. Humlston has
cither lived at Milton or has visited
in Walla Walla.
Five children survlvo Mrs. Humls
ton, besides 27 grandchildren, 41 great
grandchildren and two great great
grandchildren. She was a devoted
Christian woman having been a mem
ber of the M. E. church for over 50

"V ' Knots and Miles.
One of the htlngs which it seems
difficult for the public mind to grasp
Is that there is a decided difference
between the knot and the mile. It Is
certainly about time to have It thor
oughly understood that the two are
not the same thing. It seems easy
enough to remember that a mile is
only about 87 per cent of a knot, the
latter being approximately 6082 feet
In length, while the statute mile
measures 5280 feet.
Three and one-half miles are equal
within a fraction to three knots. The
result of this difference, of course. Is
that the speed of a vessel In miles
per hour is always considerably larger
than when stated In knots, and the
confusion of the terms sometimes
gives rise to rather remarkable claims
of speed performance.
When a 20-knot ship, for example,
Is mentioned, It should be remember
ed that this really means a little , over
23 miles. Similarly with higher fig
ures, which are often glibly enough
stated, the difference between the
terms Is worth bearing In mind. It
will help to guard against the form
ing of ridiculous estimates of a ves
sel's capabilities.

vided It Is True Local Losers Are
Being Reimbursed, While a Claim
Exltfa In Portland Against Him.
What sort of a young man Is Albert
Percy Watmough Evans? Is he a
foolish and degenerate son of well-to-do
English parents who for some rea
son have sent him to this country,
or is he an Imposter and a swindler?
There Is evidence that he Is some
thing of both, though the real truth
of his position will probably not be
known until he Is brought to trial for
offences with which he Is charged.
This morning Albert Percy was
seen at the county Jail and he said
he was not feeling very well, which
was also Indicated by his general ap
pearance and manner. When asked
concerning the checks which he is
sued here and which were not honor
ed by the Canadian Bank of Com
merce, he said the whole thing was
done through a mistake and no harm
was Intended. According to Evans, he
had some money In the bank at Mon
terey, which he ordered transferred
to Portland. He had Instructed a
cousin, who was in Portland, to at
tend to the matter for him, and he
says that he received word from his
cousin by 'phone that the transfer
had been made. Accordingly he
checked upon the bank for the dif
ferent amounts he wished to pay here.
Since his return to Pendleton the
parties holding the checks which he
Issued on leaving have been reim
bursed as much as possible. When
arrested Evans had some 215 or more
on his person, and this and hit per
sonal effects have been used to pay
off his bad checks. By doing this
Evans has hoped to avoid prosecu
tion for obtaining money under false
pretenses.
Yesterday a letter was received by
Sheriff Taylor from C. Grltzmacher,
chief of police of Portland, saying
that on July 19 last one Percy Wat
mough passed a bogus check for 250
upon F. H. Powers, proprietor of the
Hotel Oxford. From the description
given of Evans the chief thought him
to be one and the same with Percy
Watmough. Consequently, Sheriff
Taylor was told to wire Portland in
event Evans could not be convicted!

Portland on the charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses.

ing the Portland affair, Evans denied
all knowledge of It and said he ha
never been at the Hotel Oxford. Ac
cording to him he came to Bingham
Springs about June li, and was not In
Portland during July. Consequently,
he hopes to prove an alibi. However,
the handwriting on the check said to
have been given In Portland will
probably furnish stronger evtdenes
than anything else, should he be
brought to trial on that charge.
Regarding his former life, Evans
declares he was raised In England
and that his parents are well-to-do.
His mother holds the title of Lady '
Watmough, and the son says that up
on her death, but not before, he will
become an honorable. He says he
served three years In the British navy,
having Joined H. M. 8. Wasplte at
Victoria, B. C. From there he says
he went to Valparaiso and at that
port was turned over to the Grafton,
another ship of his majesty's navy.
After his term was out he made a
visit home, and from London came
out to Tacoma. There he met the
Fdleys, who were running a hotel
there, and was with them II months.
Hit service with them at Bingham
Springs he declares was more of ac
commodation than anything; else. Ac
cording to Evans, he receives a
monthly remittance from home, which
Is sufficient to keep him without do
ing any work. He says he Is now 21
years old, t
No action has yet been taksa by
District Attorney Phelps regarding
Evans ease. But that official stated
this afternoon that It would be In
vestigated tomorrow, when the pris
oner may be arraigned.
