July I.—Residents of the sr<at western metropolis, with j all its wealth ami industries, its im j mense area and targe population, find {it difficult to realize That the city is I still but an infant so far as years go. | but this tact is strikingly illustrated jin th.- case of Alexander Beaubien. j who was retired from the police force today on account of age. Surprising' las it may seem at first statement it is nevertheless an historic fact that Air. Beaubien was the first white child born in Chicago. At the time of ins birth Chicago was an outpost, with hostile Indians on all sides, and the only white residents were the garri son of Fort Dearborn ami a handful of traders, of which Mr. Beaubien's father was one.

RAIN IN MOUNTAINS Experiences of White Pine Claim Locators LADIES WERE A BRAVE LOE Climbed Soggy Mountain Heights and Scrambled Through Underbrush on the Trip. Six members of the i«arty of 12 Walla Wallans to leave the city last Thursday for Central Idaho in search of pine claims returned home yesterday tired out after the trip, but nevertheless happy that they secured the object of their search. It rains in the timbered district of Central Idaho the same as it doss in any coun try and climbing soggy mountain heights and scrambling through thick underbrush for miles with an occa sional fall on a slippery log were a few of the experiences members of the party had in the search for desirable claims. Members of the party returning yesterday were Mrs. Jacob Schubert. Mrs. William Ret/.er. Miss Christina Retzer, Mrs. J. L. Sharpstein. George Retzer and Mike Shaghaunessey. The dip through the mountains was par ticularly hard on the ladies on account of the downpour of rain. Only one horse was obtainable and they took turns about in riding the animal. The desire to secure a valuable claim was strong in their hearts, however, and 'hough many hardships were encoun tered, the ladies made the best of it and emerged from the forests inured to a woodman's life even if it was only for a few days. Most of the claims located were within ten miles of Meadows and near Payette lake, which is described as a beautiful sheet of water in the heart of a range of tim bered mountains. "Tiie returning members of the party each secured a claim though the best of the locations had been picked out long ago." George Retzer said this morning. "The claims will average nearly a million and a half feet, of timber. Persons in search of claims are constantly arriving and be ing shown over the unlocated tracts. Our claims were all secured within 10 miles of Meadows, a little village 30 miles from Council. The trip over was delightful, but soon after arriv ing at Meadow- r started to rain and all the trips ; .ugh the mountains were made in a !owapour. "On the return rip we met a party of New Hampshi: shipbuilders going in to look over c laims already located with a view of buying up several thousand acres. The arrival of the magnates has enlivened up the white pine business to a considerable ex tent." The six other members of the party Fred Bachtold, 1.. J. Bierwagen, L. Genevay. Edgar Fisher, Tom Ains worth and Frank Buchet returned to Walla Walla at noon. SO per cent, reduction on high grade wall paper to (dear sheb.es for new goods.
