PIS BEING Ml FDR THE
. PRESIDEHT'S WESTERN IP
WaBhlngton. Plans for PrcHldent
Taft'a transcontinental trip are being
mado by a number of government of
flclalB In and out of the White House.
Until congress passes the bill appro
priating $25,000 for the executive's
traveling expenses for the first fiscal
year, however, these plans will be
only of a tentative nature; Indeed, It
may be said that until the lawmakers
"come across" with the money the
president will not even admit that he
will make the trylp at all.
"I'm not going to pay my own ex
penses out there, that Is certain," he
repeats, and even the congressmen
who are planning to vote agalnBt the
bill whenever It makes Its appear
ance say they do not blame him for
taking that stand. He believes the
people of the country will be , the
gainers by hlB Journey, and he sees
no valid reason why he should foot
the travel bill personally.
Even should the 125,000 appropri
ation be made for Mr. Taft, he may
not take the Journey. Mrs. Taft has
been looking forward to the western
tour with a great deal of pleasure,
and the president declares that If she
cannot share In the excursion he will
not go himself, even If he were as
sured that she stood In no danger of
a return of her present nervous trou
ble during his absence. She Is now
rapidly recovering from the recent
attack, however, and her physician,
Naval Surgeon De Laney, Is confident
that by the time the president ex
pects to leave Beverly, MaBs., for the
west she will have been restored to
perfect health. .
Will Cso Economy.
If the president goes west he will
establish a record for economical
traveling that has never been ap
proached by any occupant of the
White House since the days of our
great-grandfathers, when private
cars and special trains were un
known. He will make the trip with
his eye on the expense account all
the way, and will not have a special
train. In fact. If he could proceed
from here to the coast and back
again in half comfort, he would not
even go to the extravagance of char
tering a private car, but would wife
ahead for "a lower berth away from
the wheels" at every step of the
Journey. His advisers have persuad
ed him, however, to forsake his old
friend, Democratic Simplicity, for a
few weeks and put on enough pluto
cratic style to hire a car. This will
spare him the almost hourly annoy
ance of crowds invading his presence.
If he traveled In an ordinary day or
Pullman coach he'd bo surrounded
by a mob from the middle of Sep
tember to the middle of November.
He'd not be able to open his mouth
for a morsel of food without the mob
noting the action and measuring the
mouthful. If Mrs. Taft did not suf
fer a return of nervous prostration
inside of three days under Buch con
ditions she would be more than hu
man. Therefore, and for these rea
sons alone, tho president has told his
subordinates to figure on a private
car for him "If the trip is made.
When the subject of the const-to-coast
trip was first considered by the
president two or three months ago,
the railroad men who were asked to
give an estimate of the expense in
volved If a special train was URcd all
the way figured that It would cost
at least MT.000. So that now every
time tho subject of a special train Is
brought to the attention of Secretary
Carpenter lie turns pale.
Fourth President to Come Wert.
Mr. Taft will 'bo the fourth presi
dent to nmke a tour to the Pacific
coast. His predecessors In this re
gard were llenjainln Harrison, Mc-
Saturday night is the
night when ALL the
little ones are given
what the French call
"The Grand Bath" a
thorough cleansing from
top to toe.

tion, Ivory Soap plays

Klnley and Roosevelt. Each of them
made the swing around the circle in
a comfortable special train, but it
may bo added that the public treas
ury was not called upon to pay tho
transportation bills. They were the
guests of the railroads all the way,
for the Hepburn law was then un
dreamed of.
The officials who are preparing
the Itinerary for President Taft are
to so arrange his trip that he will be
able to visit a large number of places
at certain specific and Interesting
dates. As he has received several
hundred urgent Invitations, and can
not possibly accept one-tenth of the
number, the task mapped out for the
trip framers isn't half as easy as
squaring the circle or signalling
Mars. He has given his promise to
visit San Francisco on October 19,
and to look In on the lakes-to-the-gulf
deep waterway convention at
New Orleans November 11 to 13. The
exposition will take him to Seattle,
Wash., and he will try to visit other
places on 'certain festal occasions.
Secretary Carpenter announces, how
ever, that if tho president makes the
trip he will not be able to stop at
the little places, as he did during the
campaign tour. His car will be
hitched to through trains most of the
time, and If the people In the small
towns want to see him they'll have
to get up early In the morning and
go to the cities where his meetings
are held.
SLANDERS WAIT
YEARS FOR HAIL
Santiago, Chile. His Majesty's
ship Flora of the British navy Is
scheduled (o sail from Coqulmbo for
Pltcalrn Island and will carry to that
little country in the distant Pacific
the first mail It has had rn nearly
two years. The few citizens of this
British dependency are accustomed
to Infrequent malls, but the cruiser
Is later than usual this trip, and Its
arrival will probably create an un
precedented commotion.
Pltcalrn Island is out of the track
of ships of the civilized world; the
rim of the horizon Is ever clear save,
perhaps, when some drunken wind
jammer ' wanders from the "road"
and apprors lfke a ghost ship In the
evening hall light, passing by to the
bustling centers the other side of the
Horn, or when there creeps up this
rrulser, sent by the British govern
ment to "show the flag" and to see
that all is well with the xlles In this
lonesome corner of the sea wilder
ness, "the world forgetting, by the
'world forgot."
More than a century ago the good
ship Bounty was In the waters of the
southern Fnclflc when the crew mu
tinied, and 10 of them, led by Fletch
er Christian (subsequently murdered
by natives), made for the Island of
Pltcairn. This was In the year 1790.
With them the mutineers took six na
tive men and eleven women from Ta
hiti as servonts and wives. Owe ou
the solitary Island they thought they
were snfe from the consequences of
their action; that they would never
be discovered.
For 21 years that was so. Then
one day, when the mutiny lingered
but faintly In the world's memory
and Chrlstlnn and his follows had
been reckoned as dead, a ship hap
pened, to put In nt Pltcalrn for shel
ter. On landing the captain was as
tonished to be addressed in English
by men who were obviously of Euro
pean orig n. Then out came the
whole Ftory. Since then the exiles
have had many visits and received
many kindnesses from "ships that
passed," and through nil these years,
although the original colonists are
long since dead, their descendants
preserve the English tongue, and as
far as possible, In view of their iso
lation from the centers of fashion,
hold to European modes of drees.
On their last trip the officers of
the Flora found their hosts wondrous
content with their lot. Not once did
they hear a desire to quit the Shores
of the Island for the life of the great
world beyond. In their own simple
way the Pltcairners were prospering;
they had none of the warped and
frenzied ambitions of crowded cities
and no' desire for wealth or position.

Praises for Ingrrsoll.
New York, June 18. That Swin
burne, England's famous poet, who
died recently, looked upon the late
Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll as the
greatest American of his time Is
stated In a letter Just made public by
Mrs. Eva Ingersoll Farrell Brown, a
niece of Mrs. Ingersoll. In 1900 Mrs.
Brown wrote Swlnhurne requesting
his autograph, and the poet replied,
thanking her "for the pleasure given
me by the knowledge that your uncle,
Colonel Ingersoll, the man whom,
above all others, I should have hoped
and wished to meet If I visited Amer
ica during his lifetime, found some
thing of my work worthy of his re
gard or sympathy."
Similar sentiments were expressed
In a letter to Mrs. Brown from the
late George Meredith, the English
novelist, who said: "The name of In
gcrsoll will always command me."

mgafed' Lands...
I represent the Richland Land Company at Pendleton, and
have for sale on Easy Terms 28,000 acres of Choice Fruit
Lands under the gravity canals of the Lower Yakima
Irrigation Company.
WATER RIGHT
The water for these lands was filed on 18 and
20 years ago, being two of the oldest water rights
on the Yakima River, and the present company
bought out and completed the canals of the two
older companies, making one system, covering
28,000 acres of the best lands on the Columbia
and Yakima Rivers. The United States govern
ment has recently made three large dams near
the head of the Yakima River, converting three
lakes Into Immense reservoirs, holding back all
the flood waters of the mountains drained by the
river, making an ample supply for all the lands
tributary to the Yakima River, and the govern
ment projects being among the more recent ones,
It practically guarantees the water supply for the
Richland project.
WATER FOR DOMESTIC USE
Wells of pure water from the Columbia River
can be gotten on any part of the lands for sale,
at a depth of 25 to 40 feet, and all the way
through dirt and gravel. The .water In these
wells Is absolutely as pure as any in the entire.
Northwest.
LOCATION AND CLIMATE
These lands lie along the Columbia and Ya
kima River, at an altitude of 65 to 400 feet
above sea level and have the earliest, warmest
springs of any lands under irrigation In the
Northwest. Early fruits and vegetables from
this section of the Columbia River basin reach
the market from two to three weeks earlier than
any other section, and consequently bring the
highest prices paid for such products. This fact
alone makes these lands worth double the value
of lands not so well located, for many early vege
tables and berries can be raised here that can
not be marketed at any price a couple of weeks
later.
TRANSPORTATION!
Richland at present has a dally steamboat ser
vice to Kennewlck, 10 miles down the river, and
from that point, produce can be shipped to Se
attle, Tacoma, Portland and Spokane, In one
night, giving the fruit the cool night ride to mar
ket, and placing it actually on sale In the retail
stores of the largest cities of the Northwest with
in 15 to 18 hours from the time it Ij picked In the
orchard.
Seven railroads are being constructed at pres
ent, that run directly through this country, two
of them running through the lands of the Rich
land Land Co., and it Is expected that one of
them, probably an electric line, will be completed
and in operation before winter. If this happens,
lands now being sold for J100 and 125 per acre
will be worth nearly double the present prices
within a year's time.
POPULATION ESTIMATES
The present size of the farm unit, based on the
sales made to date Is 15 acres to the family, and
It the entire lot of land Is sold on this basis, there
will be about 1800 families or 7200 people In the
vicinity of Richland in a short time. Such a
farm population will support a town of 10,000 peo
ple. Lota in Richland can be bought now for $100
and up, and are certain to Increase in value.
PRICE OF LAND AND TERMS
Prices on this land range from $75 to $250.00
per acre, owing to distance from town, and the
amount of work necessary to place the land In
shape for cultivation.
Terms are: One fourth down, and the balance
lit 5 equal annual payments.
These lands offer today one of the safest, and
most attractive Investments for capital, and to
the man who has enough money to meet the first
payment and can move onto the lands and make
a home, they offer a chance to build up comfort
able homes that will soon render the owners Independent.
Call at my office and get booklet, with views describing this land

Ten Years of Ecxema.
Reports on eczema dating back 10
years show the value of external
treatment. Druggist McAllister of
this city can tell any sufferer what
reports he has been getting from pa
tients who used oil of wlntergreen,
thymol and glycerine In liquid form,
n romnounded In D. D. D. Prescrip
tion. It would be interesting to know
whether any person cured as mucn
as 19 years ago has had another
touch of the disease.
