Judging from the manlier in which j
Hie memliers of the Press Association
were welcomed nd entertained during
their stay in Pendleton last week, the
climate of I'matilla county must 1m es
pecially conducive to geniality. Every
inernlier of the reception committee,
well as the citizens generally, did his
utmost to entertain, as did also the resi
dents of Milton, where they were in
vited to spend a portion of Wednesday.
And so the members of the association
returned to their fields of labor not

they can in securing every means for

bright weather ami a light attendance
marked the oeningof the fair for 1SU4.
The nnmlicr of people gathered to see
Ihe races was not near as large as it
should have leen to justify the continu
ing the meetings. The grounds did not
present a very enlivened appearanco.
The track is in excellent condition and
shows that judicious work has been done
in its improvement. The moving of the
art and domestic exhibits down town
w'j one of the reasons w hy more people
did not visit the grounds, as it is only
those who are interested in horse racing
make the trip. The management un
doubtedly were wise in making the
change and the attendance at the even
ing concerts w ill more than make up for
the number who stay away from the
grand stand on this account. The
management hope for a better atten-
dance during the remainder of the week
i' the good weather keeps up such
undoubtedly le the case.
Tbe H,ook exh'Mt ia not -vet complete,
thol7h 1Qile nunilr of entri8 have
been made. Some good looking cattle
and horses are to be eeen in the stalls.
As The Chuomclk went to press the
horses were getting ready for the race,
so it is impossible to give the summa
ries in today's issue.
In the pavilion at Wingate's hall the
attendants have been busy all day ar
ranging the exhibits. The space is
tiearly all taken though not all the ex
hibits have arrived. Two tables in the
center extending the entire length of
the room, are loaded w ith fi nito of all
varieties and different kinds ot vegeta
bles. Rig squashes, yellow pumkius,
egg plants, bunches of celery, cauli
flowers, cabbages, carrots and turnips
jostle one another in efforts to look their
biggest. It is a pleasure and relief to
turn from the discounting talk about
the price of wheat and kindred topics to
Uje .ce,)e whi(.h ,he lion offeri to
e fye Jhe wag ,re t.overed with !
produt.tg of the arti(!tV ek;ll. p,intlngS,
tkillful needles are present in great
array. All the little treasures dear to
woman's hearts have been taken from
their places of safety and placed on ex
hibition. The result is one of great
beauty and satisfaction. As the pavilion
is not to be opened till 5 o'clock this
evening and the reporter made his
rounds in the morning full justice can
not 1 done to all the exhibits as many
came in during the afternoon. The
south end of the building a large and
! commodious platform for the orchestra j
! has been built, neatly festooned with
differently colored bunting. The ren
dering of popular pieces by the orchestra
every evening will le a great musical
treat.
Among the exhibitions, which in a
hurried survey the reporter noticed, was
a large exhibit of oil paintings, crayon
work and water colors by Miss Clara
tory. They all possessed great merit
ke " elaborate display. Miss
Story has had exhibits at preceding fairs
hut this one, we think, is her beBt
Miss Florence Sampson has a very
pretty exhibit of pastel working five in
number.
Following this Miss Welch has a dis
play of eight oil paintings, some of them
points of local interest.
Miss Shulthis of Pendleton has some
beautiful pieces of needle work.
Mrs. F'.d Wicks has on exhibition a

studies in oil two from still life and one
from natural history.
Mrs. J. M. Patterson has a nice col

work. Mrs. Russell lias a bed quilt in silk
patchwork.
Mrs. Gibont and Mrs. French have
each handsome collections of needle
work, mostly silk embroidery. Both
these exhibit are very handsome, and
will elicit much attention. Mrs. French
has one piece containing 36,3,0 stitches
Miss lieulah Patterson has a very at
tractive display of oil paintings from
still life.
In one corner is the horticultural dis-
play of Mrs. ftubling. Many handsome
varieties are to be seen, and the exhibit
is arranged w ith much taste.

croscopes and jewelry for the inspection
of visitors.
There are many exhibits interesting
to those whose minds run to things ag

which give a yield f forty bushels to
the acre. This variety is well adapted
to a dry climate. He also has gome
brewing barley.

Ilrath of Hon. J. II. Mosier.
At Mosier, Friday afternoon Oct. 5th,
1894, at 1:15 Jonah Harrison Mosier,
aged 73 years months and 25 day9.
Funeral in Mosier cemetery Monday,
morning at 10 o'clock under the direct
ion of the Masonic Fraternity.
Jonah Harrison Mosier was born in
Maryland March 10th, 1821, and was
therefore 73 years old. While yet an
infant his family emigrated to Pennsyl
vania and successively afterward to Iowa
and Wisconsin. In the latter named
state, at Smithsville, he was married in
1840 to Jane Rollins. In 1849 he moved
to California, and being a carpenter' by
trade built several houses both in San
Francisco and the state capital. As an
instance of those stirring times it is re
lated that he treqnently received $25 as
the price cf a single day's work. The
early days of his life in the Occident was
not without adveature, also. While
camping on the Gila, river himself and
party, including Major Stein and Lieut.
Forsyth, were attacked by Apaches
those hardiest, most bloodthirsty and
most tenaciously warlike of Indians.
In the encounter Lieut. Forsythe was
killed and Major Stein wounded. Later
he left California for his former home
in Missouri, but like all others who
have had a taste of western life, he soon
tired of his old surroundings, and in
1853 bade farewell forever to Missouri,
removing directly to The Dalies, Ore
gon. He, with Col. Gates and Judge
Laughlin (lather of Frank J. Laughlin)
first platted the city of The Dalles.
Soon thereafter Mr. Mosier was again
busy ith his hammer and saw and
built the first business houses of the
city. In the spring of 1855 he settled
at Mosier, where he has resided ever
since, llis pursuits since then were
varied. In 1855 he erected a saw mill,
which is believed to have been the first
operated in Wasco county. He also
drove cattle to the mines, and himself
owned large bands. He had an occa
sional brush with Indians, and on one
occasion nearly met his death while
rowing a large sail boat up the river
during a comparative calm. An Indian
concealed in some brush shot at him,
the bullet, an irregular metal slug pass
ing through the space occupied by his
person an instant before, the backward
movement of his body while rowing
saving his life. A companion, with
more discretion, if less valor, quickly
laid down in the bottom of the boat,
leaving the rower to gain a safer dis
tance alone. More than once Mr.
Mosier, with his family, has been com
pelled to temporarily almndoii his place
hi the night, being threatened by preda
tory Indians. But though courageous
and resolute, he never retaliated in
kind, depending more upon kiudheart
edness and inoffensive conduct toward
his copper-hued brethren than the mod
ern weapons of offense and defense. In
1876 Mr. Mosier served the state with
dignity and honor in the legislature.
Ilia wife died in 18(V, after bearing
even children, respectively, Mrs. Sarah
Alice Faucette of Walla Walla, Mrs.
Emily Ann Mansfield (deceased; of
Weston. Mrs. Mary Susan Adams of
Hood River, Mrs. Josephine Eliza
beth Willoughby (drceasedi of Har-
rishiirg, Oregon, Benjamin Franklin I

Moicrand Miss Lvdia Sophia Mosier of
Walla Walla. In l.stiij he married Mrs.
M.trthit J. Lewi Two children were
the fruits of the latter marriage, Mrs.
Ellie J. Phillips of Mosier ami Miss
I Kd lie Mosier.
Mr. Mosier bus been quite ill since the
latter part of June, but really bin sick
ness dates back to a much curlier time.
During the (imt yearof the plague known
as l.i grippe, he was stricken with the
disease, and has never U-en the same
since. Naturally of a sunny disposition,
mild tempered, extremely hospitable,
and generous to a fault, disease falsely
clothed him with less apparent hearti
ness ami joviality of manner. His
merry laugh, which made the woods
ring and was in itself a cure for dyspep
sia, was ever afterward hushed, and his
naturally buoyant spirits changed, with
accumulating years, to sterner moods.
The heroic comrade, the generous neigh
bor, the jolly companion and sacrificing
friend had all suffered loss at a stroke,
and though kindness, hospitality and
generosity were still his dominating
traits of character, those knew him best
who knew- hi in before disease laid its un
kindly hand upon him. But this only
by comparison. In the community in
which he was a patriarch, where he bus
braved the jierils and endured the priva
tions and toils of pioneer life, a neigh
borhood where he antedates the first
other civilized inhabitant yet living by
a score of years, he is respected and
revered as is given to but few to be, and
his memory will be perpetuated long
years after his kindly spirit has bidden
adieu to its earthly tenement. The
creek he settled and the town he located
justly bear the name of its locally illus
trious founder, all now given to history
and memory in minds of men. He pro
fessed religion a short time before his
death, and sustained by its consolations
and an indomitable will, he bore his
sufferings uncomplainingly to the end.
A Threatening Klase.
Yesterday afternoon an alarm of fire
was caused bv a blaze on the roof of the
Cosmopolitan. The fire was evidently
caused by a spark either from the chim
ney, or from a passing locomotive. 89
the fire was entirely on the outside of
the shingles. A brisk wind was blowing
from the eaet and northeast and the
flames spread rapidly over the shingles.
A bucket brigade was soon formed, and
did excellent work enrrounding the
blaze and holding it in check until the
arrival of the hose carts. Columbia got
first water but the pressure waa not
sufficient, and the hose was hauled up
on the building. The steamer was Blow
in getting to the fire and equally slow
about getting steam. It is safe to say
that had the bucket brigade not been
formed at once the Cosmopolitan would
have burned, and the chances then for
the balanre of the city towards Mill
creek would have been Email.
We are not disposed to fault-finding,
but this is a case where the existence of
the city waa at stake. The greatest
blame must rest upon those who have
charge of the city's waterworks. The
pressure was not on the mains, where it
should be. There is a mistaken idea
about supplying the lower part of the
city from the lower reservoir. The bus
iness portion of the city lies below the
bluff and so does four-fifths of the prop
erty values. The city has assumed a
heavy indebtedness, for the purpose of
owning its water system. It is entitled
not only to water for domestic and com
mou purposes, but also to fire protection.
Unless the pressure is kept on the lower
mains, one of the principle objects for
which the city assumed its indebtedness
is defeated. We have escaped a dis
astrous conflagration, more by accident
than otherwise, for had the fire not been
discovered for a minute or two later, the
buckets could not have controlled it,
and the probabilitiei are there would
have leen no town west of Court street.
This article is not written in a spirit
of fault-finding, but limply to call atten
tion to those whose business it is to
manage the water and the fire depart
ment to the necessity of being better pre
pared for future emergencies.
Since w riting the above we have heard
all kinds of assertions concerning the
water, some insisting it was turned on,
others that the plug was not opened and
so on through the whole list of possible
criminations and recriminations. Mr.
Worsley asserts that the plug was opened
to its fullest capacity. However this
may be or where the fault lies, one thing
is assured and that is that the fire was
not well managed save by the bucket
brigade and perhaps Columbia hose
company.

The Lost Hoy Found.
The boy Ryan who was lost last week,
has returned home. It seems he went
visiting to some friends, apparently un
conscious of the worry and trouble
he was causing his parents and those
with whom he had been stopping by his
action. When one considers the amount
of sympathy his absence has awakened,
and the terrible suspense of his parents,
the inclination to assist in giving him a
good spanking is almost irresistable.
The "Lost Heir," so tonchingly des
cribed by Tom Hood, explains one's
feelings perfectly. In that case it will
be remembered after crying her eyes out
and extolling her lost "darlint" as the
very perfection of childhood, the good
mother in the midst of her grief, "claps
her two lovin' eyes on him" and forget
ing her recent sorrow, says: "But wait
till I get him home with a good grip in
hia hair, and I'm blessed if I lave a

Thk Dalles, Or., Oct. 9, 1894.
The Coffee Club gave another of their
pleasaht socials last evening, and all
(about 150) that were present seemed to
enjoy themselves very much. Dancing
was the principle enjoyment of the even
ing, though the vocal solo by Miss Hattie
Cram was enjoyed, and the recitation by
Muster Eugene Davis about the pump
kin pie brought the house down. Coffee
and cako were furnished by Caterer
Keller, which is sufficient to say to
guarantee its good quality.
Friends of the Independent Workers

lust night's fun better look out for the
November social and a' tend.
