A BOTANICAL CURIOSITY.
Is a Pink Rose Which Has Matured
Unnaturally.
At the Commercial National bank
is a decided botanical oddity, plucked
from a rose bush in the yard of W.
S. Badlev. whose specialty is roses.
It is a blossom of average size, pink,
and exactly in the middle of the bloom
is a green, leafy sprout which appar
ently grew from the reverse side of
the blossom, directly through it. At
the base of the bloom is a leafage
which superficially bears every indi
cation of being a weed, as the leaves
bear not the remotest resemblance to
the leaves of the rose bush. Appar
ently the leafy sprout In the middle
of the blossom Is the continued
growth of the weed-like growth from
the reverse side, appearing as though
it had grown directly through the
blossom.
A person with no especial knowl
edge of botany would suppose that
in some unknown manner a weed had
become grafted upon the rose sprout,
or perhaps that the rose bud had be
come Impregnated with pollen from
a weed. In any event the freak
bloom is a great curiosity pro
nounced such by everyone who has
seen It ,
But now comes Prof. W. H. Bleak-
ney with an explanation which robs
the incident of its mystery, though
not at all of its interest He calls it
partly a retardation of growth from
the scientific fact that the leafy
growth in the middle of the bloom
consists of undeveloped leaves which
would have been petals in the middle
cf the rose had not some accident re
tarded their growth. The weed-like
appearing "leaves" agalnBt the re
verse side of the blossom are on their
part exaggerations of the bracts.

which are sub-divisions of the sepals
which are a part of every blossom and
the twig upon which it Is suspended.
Prof. Bleakney does not attempt to
account for either the retarded growth
on the one side of the rose, or for
the exaggerated growth on the other.
All plant lovers will be entertained by
a look at this botannical froak.
MAY USE OIL FOR DUST.
Weeds Being Cut Donn on the Walla
Walla Branch Line and Tracks May
Be Sprinkled.
It Is understood that orders have
been given to section foremen on the
O. R. & N. branch line between here
and Walla Walla, to cut down the
weeds along the right of way in order
to begin sprinkling the track with
oil soon to do away .with the dust dur
ing the summer.
The company will use oil If it is
possible to secure a sufficient supply
for that purpose, and It Is understood
that arrangements will be made to be
gin sprinkling within a few. days. An
extra force of men Is now employed In
cutting away the weeks along the
branch to make ready for the oil.
FEABODY IN BOISE.
Ex-Governor of Colorado Comes to
Testify in Haywood Trial.
James H. Peabody, former governor
of Colorado and who, according to
the testimony of Harry Orchard, was
slated many times to be the victim
of assassination, arrived in the city
last night from Colorado to appear
as a witness for the prosecution in
the trial of William D. Haywood,
says the Boise Statesman. He Is ac
companied by Mrs. Peabody and his
daughter, Miss Cora Peabody, who
will also be a witness for the state.
Last night the former governor
wai asked what he knew about the
attempts on his life as told by Orch
ard. "It would not be wise or right for
me to talk about this case at this
time, before I go on the wltnes stand,"
he replied. "It would be very im
polite for me to say anything' now.
You can get my story when I tell it
to the Jury.
"Oh, everything Is wonderfully
prosperous in Colorado and in Den
ver," Mr. Peabody replied to a ques
tion. "Yes, well, what do the people of
Denver in genera! think of the story
of the crime told by Orchard? You
know the story strikes as close home
to them as it docs to' us in Idaho."
"Now, I musn't talk about this
case," the former governor replied,
after a moment's hesitation. "I will
tell you about anything else you
want to know, but I musn't discuss
the case."
Governor Peabody then talked of
conditions In his state. He said the
dry farming in the eastern part of
the state was doing exceedingly well.
Ho was through that section only a
lew days ago and said the crops
were looking as fine as they were in
any other part of the state.

CAMPFINZER"
COMPANY L HAD AX OUTING
OVER NIGHT AND SUNDAY.
Day Passed With Camp Exercises and
SKlmilsli Drilling Sham Engage
ment In Afternoon Was) Interesting
Company Now in Trim for Annu
al Guard Encampment Commenc
ing July 8 "Camp Flnzer" Is On
Uie Oliver Place, West of Town.
The members of company L are no
longer rookies, for they have seen
service and participated In a sham
battle. As planned by the company
last week It went Into camp Saturday
evening and remained there until 4:30
yesterday afternoon. During that
time the men and officers enjoyed a
splendid outing and much of military
lite was learned.
Camp Flnzer was established in the
Oliver grove, about two miles below
the city, and It furnished an ideal
place for the purpose. The company
went to the camp in two detachments,
the main body leaving here at 7
o'clock under commany of First Lieu
tenant Smythe, while a Squad, com
posed of men who had to work late,
left at 10 under the command of Sec
ond Sergeant Pasley. The men went
in full marching order and upon the
arrival at camp the shelter tents were
pitched and the camp established ac
cording to military discipline. A
guard was Immediately placed about
the camp and the men given instruc
tion In sentry duty. Taps was played
at midnight and reveille at 5 o'clock.
After breakfast and before drill
commenced an Impromptu field meet
was held during which the athletic
ability of the men was tried.
During the main part of the fore
noon the company was Instructed In
extended order movements by Captain
Kern and in the afternoon a sham
engagement, the battle of Bean creek.
was fought between the two platoonB
of the company. Both platoons ac
quired much glory and the "battle"
was sone of the most interesting feat
ures of the day. The large tract of
land, partly covered and partly open,
near the camp, afforded a good oppor
tunity for skirmish drill.
The encampment was held by the
company In order to get Into condi
tion for the annual encampment of
the guard which will be held at Sea
side this year, commencing July 8.
The brief experience the company en
Joyed was such that the men are now
looking forward eagerly to the big
time that Is coming. All who can
possibly go are planning to leave with
the company at that time.
At the camp yesterday the culinary
department was managed by Quarter
master Sergeant Drake and W. A.
Crank, who served very capably In the
role of company chef.
