Bay Rickard, who is sick at the Good Samaritan Hospitals Oregonian NO LONGER A MYSTERY. Tfce Body of Little Garnet McCready Was Taken From the River Early Yesterday Morning. The circumstances surrounding the disappearance of little Garnet McCready the afternoon of July ist are no longer a mysterv. The belief, entertained by nearly everyone, that she slept beneath the placid surface of the old Wil lamette has been proved to be correct' by the finding of her body yesterday morning about I o'clock. Four young men, Milton and E. A. Mills, Chester Zumwalt and Ed McCready, brother of the missing child, were patrolling the river near a gravel bar, op posite the Swick home, below the sawmill. Knowing that the body was. apt to come to the sur face on the ninth d ay, the pur pose of the child's relatives was to keep a constant watch, day and ni&lit, u..ul Friday. The Mills boys , were in one boat, while Zumwalt and Ed McCicadv were in another. The night was cold, and they began racing about one o'clock to "warm up." Suddenly M. A. Mills saw an ob ject floating about three rods from the west shore aud investi gation proved it to be the body of little Garnet. It was placed in one ot the boats and brought to the ferry landing. Coroner Wilkins was summoned and he had the corpse conveyed to his undertaking parlors. Preparations were made for an inquest, which was held yester day morning at 8 o'clock in the presence of the following jury: J. W. Crawford, foreman; W. J. Howell, J. C. Taylor, Wm. Crees, B. F. Seely and W. G. Lane. . After the identification of the body by Sam'l Mills, the grand father, in the presence of the jury and Dr. Pernot, the latter was placed on the stand to testify as to cause of death. He said that the clothing had been re moved and the body carefully ex amined for marks or signs of vio lence, but none could be found. The head and neck Were badly congested indicating that death was caused by drowning. Sam'l Mills swore to the iden tity of the body. The name of deceased was Garnet Luella Mc Cready, and she would have been six years of age on July 2nd. He last saw her alive, just north of E. W. Strong's residence about 1:05 p. m., July ist. She was missed 45 minutes later. 1 No outcry was heard in the mean time. Dan Read, of Wren, and two other men who were picking cherries nearby saw her about 1 :25 o'clock. Search was be gun about 2:30 p. m. Witness said Garnet was timid, about watef. He had taken her out on the boom at the mill last summer, but she was very reluctant about going Earlier in the day of her disappearance she had called the attention of playmates to this boom and said she thought it was rocking up and down. J. H. Moore testified that he was picking cherries at the Ger ber place. He heard children a boy and girl playing on the river bank nearby. ;,When he mounted the ladder, he saw a little girl out on the boom.";. She was singing and dancing; back and forth. - He came down the ladder when his bucket was about half full and saw the child still there. When he looked a few moments .later she was gone. That was about 2 o'clock. Milton Mills said the body was found near the Swick place, a mile below town. With others he began patroling the gravel bar about 9:30 p. m. They were racing, when they discovered an object about three rods from the west shore. 'Guess its her, " he said, and they rowed toward it. The body was floating face up wards. ' .-. , E. A. Mills stated that logs were floating down the river, but there had been no unusual com motion just previous to finding the body. The current was not swift. ; Chester Zumwalt corroborated ihe testimony of the other wit nesses. The funeral took place from Wilkins' undertaking parlors yes terday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Services were conducted by Rev. F. L. Moore. Interrment was made at Crystal Lake cemetery. Her Valedictory. 'Following is the valedictory delivered" by Belle Edwards, of Bellfountain school, at the gradu ation exercises for schools of the southern : part of the county, on the evening ot June 30th: After living in mental excite ment for ' two months we meet here tonight to join in these ex- ercises. First we tried to think " what the examination questions would be. Then after three days of torture we continued to worry over our answers.. We waited three long weeks when one day each received a letter from Sup' t penman telling us we had passed. So we meet here to night for a short time before we pass from the eighth step of the ladder of education We are young and have few responsibilities. We have had only simple questions to answer. On these we have had help by older heads who knew what was best. But as we grow older ve will have harder problems to solve. Some of the questions remaining unanswered by people of times past must be answered by us. Besides these, many problems unknown to man today win ian upon us ior ssiuuon. To do this each jnember of this class must possess a strong, pure, character and mind well trained for the test. We should have minds that time will not weaken and characters that time will not crumble. We must be educated and refined in our tastes and per ceptions and unselfishly work ior others. It we would gam a high place we must work for those around us and strive to lift them higher. For a life may be high morally and educationally and yet be more than useless if not spent for the good of others. One question tonight faces each member of this class. It is, what are we going to do? There are so many cross : roads and winding paths seeming equally good, .but leading in different directions, which renders it dif ficult to decide the one meant for us. hile some of us may choose our different' paths, and others wait until later, we all need more preparation and train mgthan we now have in order to be fitted for life's battle and be of greater use to others. So we tonight have really just begun appropriating the opportunities that lie in our pathways. We do not realize how much we owe to our teachers who worked so hard to help us. . Then too we would not . forget the honorable boards of. directors . who have made it possible for our school days to be happy, enjoyable and profitable. We also thank -our County School- Superintendent for being so-untiring in-his work for us and keeping, our interest in school alive and true. We shall always think of bur school days with tender , thoughts. While they were not all bright and sunny, for' some of them seemed filled with discouragiag tasks, yet those, dark days made us work harder and enjoy the happier ones better. Now as we separate, let us treasure in our minds the pleas ant memories of our past school days; and let the unpleasant ones fade from our memory. While we hope the future may bring to each one true success which, i tnough not always recognized as success, brings the greatest good to all. Injunction Was Issued. Sheriffs sale of the property known as the Coe lands, com prising 23,759,41 acres, will not be made tomorrow as advertised. An injunction has been issued by Judge Hamilton, restraining the sale until a motion to quash ser vice and vacate 'judgment, has been determined. The . matter will be heard in the circuit court for Benton county on - July 20, 1903- - ;vy ', ' An execution was issued May 15th last in the suit of the Coast Land and Livestock Company vs. The Oregon Pacific Colonization Company, for foreclosure of two mortgages, and sale of the prop erty was ordered to satisfy the sum of $101,361.59, with inter est from March 23, 1903, this being the amount due the plain tiff. . Judge Hamilton's restrain ing order will stop these proceed ings, for the present at least. -. The matter has grown out of the failure of the defendants to complete the purchase of the prop erty in question, which they con tracted to do last year. After judgment was rendered an effort was made to compromise the matter, but the Coast Land and Livestock Co. finally moved ; to secure foreclosure of their mort gages. - ,- - - Audiences continue to grow at the tent meetiugs now being held by Rev.

Packing Company Pnts In a Plant. An enterprise is to be started in Corvallis that is bound to be of great benefit to the city and sur- roundine countrv. m . addition to the convenience it will afford glow ers of fruit. It is the outgrowth of a proposition wh:ch Manager Robt. Johiibon, of the Benton County Prime Co., haH had in contempla tion for souje time and which he went to California last Maich to in vestigate. Practically all the pro cessiue of pruues in California is done bv one 1 true concern, which 1 controls all the plants. This com pany was considering the idea of extending operations into Oregon by putting in a plant at Roseburg and Corvallis. Mrl Johnson was offered-the management f the busi-1 ness in Uorvams, out aiier mature deliberation the Californians de cided to experiment bv simply put- ling in a processor at Koseourg. Mr. - Johnson appreciated the value of such a plant to local or- chardists, and organized a company to be known as the Benton County ProceBsine and Prune Packing Co., the purposes of which are indicated in its name. The large tnree-story buildinc, a portion of which is occu- Died bv the Corvallis creamery was secured and an order placed for the raftfihinerv. This arrived by rail Mondav and workmen began put tine it in place yesterday. It con- niafn m a srrader 25 feet lensr, 6 feet hieh and over 6 feet wide, arranged to sepaTate Italian prunes into five grades; a New Century processor, 12 feet long, 4 feet high and 3 feet wide, the latest improved machine of its .kind: elevator, noor uucks, wheelbarrows, and minor articles. The grader will be placed on the third floor. An endless-cnain ele vator will carry the prunes from t.h first floor and dump them into the erader. and they will be lower ed into bins on the second floor, where the processor will stand con venientlv near. The packing will be done on the ground floor. The building , is splendidly adapted to the DurDOse and is convenient to railroad and liver. The large boiler and eDgine used by the ereamery will suddIv power. The plant will beein operation about October 15th. Resides tne money mat win do distributed in this community in the form of wages to the five or six men and 25 or 30 girls, during the eeason of three months, and to local mills for the 30,000 boxes that will be used, much, benefit will accrue to prune growers whose fruit will be placed on the market in tempt- ine shape and Oregon - will receive credit for her product. Heretofore, prunes have been shipped in sacks and the processing was done in the East, where the fruit has Leen la beled "California." . Some trouble is anticipated in teaching girls the art of packing the first season, but some will soon become expert and can earn good wages. . j It is Manager Johnson's inten tion to buy prunes outright, or pro- cess tnem ior casn or un suares. He is in touch with the Eastern markets, and there will be ho spec ulation on futures. The fruit will be sold at the mar&et price tne next day after it is brought in Corvalhs Monroe Sent $60.75.
