Rlxty-two years of plone-r life v.a
ended this morning when Enoch
Wlmhorly patsed peacefully to final
rest ln the great beyond. At 7:0.'. a.
m. the spirit took flight from the
weary body. Just as the busy world
about him was renewing its activities
in the beautiful sunlight of a sum
mer day. Ills entire family was at
his bedside, but so gentle was the
final summons that he seemed like
sinking into the calmest sleep.
Mr. Wlmberly was of southern
ancestry, the Wlmberly plantation of
ante-bellum davs being still pointed
out in eastern Mississippi, where the
big brick residence or that period
was still standing a few years ago.
With that Indomitable spirit of ad
venture which filled our early pio
neers, he came to the Willamette
Valley In 1S4II. with the family of
Nicholas Shrum, and although then
a mere boy of 16. he drove an ox
team nearly the entire distance
across the plains, a soul-racking
journey of nearly six mouths. Set
tling nbout live miles east of Salem.
he, two years later, enlisted ti
b. volunteer in a campaign against
the Cayuse Indians, who were then
on the warpath in the Walla Walla
valley. Hettiruiug In October, ISIS,
he remained near Salem until the
spring or 18IU, when, with a party
of like adventurous spirits he went,
overland, to California, being lured
by the gold mining fever that was
then raging almost world-wide.
Sickening a few months later in the
intense summer 'heat ot Caliiornia,
he returned home by sea from Sun
ITaucisco in the tail of that venr i
That return voyage was one of tile
many thrilling Instances of those ad
venturous days. -Kiubiirkine in an
ancient am! unseaworthv brig, thev
were tossed hither and thither on the
open seas for a period of .".1 days
before dually making a landing at
tne mourn or the Columbia river.
Coming to Douglas county in
1854, Mr. Wlmberly located on a
government land claim near Glide.
.Early In the year 1856 he again
enlisted as a I!, S. volunteer in the
wars with the Indians or Southern
Oregon, in progress at that time.
On September 1857, he married
Miss Nancy A. Mnrks, who had come
to Oregon, from Illinois, with her
mother four years previous, and who
now survives him. she being at this
time past 70 years or age. Their
golden wedding anniversary last
September was rendered less enjoy
able by Mr. Wimberly's illness, he
then having been in failing health
for nearly two years.
For the past 20 years the family
has resided in this city, his son, h.
Wimberly, being editor and prop
rietor ot the Itoseburg Review. The
other surviving members - of his
family are: Ira Wimberly, of Drain;
Mrs. C. L. Clevenger, or Grants
Pass; Elmer E. nnd Miss Eiva Wim
berly, or this city. Six grand-children
also survive hint.
Of the strictest integrity of prin
ciple, he ever endeavored to fashion
his walk of dally life upon the Im
perishable precepts of tite Clohlen
Rule. 01' kind and generous dispo
sition, nothing gave him greater
pleasure than to b.-stow some need
ful thing for the aid or romfort or a
neighbor or wayfarer along ilfe'r
pathway. Ills family and rriends
were the continued objecls of his
loving care, and his greatest regret
'it the approach ot linal dissolution,
his mind retaining a remarkable
clearness and aetuity to the end, was
parting from his beloved wife, who
had been his constant companion
for over 5n .years.
Life's work well done, he leaves
a peaceful and blessed memory.
Funeral services will be held at
the family hume at 4:00 p. in., on
Saturday, under direction of Dr. .1.
A. Townsend. Interment follows in
the Masonic cemetery.

fifteen entries were made under the
coal land act that is. the lands were
taken up as coal claims. It in the
suspicion of the government, how
ever, that the claims are wanted pri
marily for the magnificent tlnihei
they contain, and not for what coal
they might possess.- The lands arc
embraced in a forest reserve, but,
under the law. if they are proven U
be chiefly valuable for their coai
they will at once pnss from the re
serve into the hands of the appli
cants, timber and all.

coal entries, eight reside in Cook

In the hearing of these contests
the government will use two expert
witnesses. Prof. .1. S. Dlller, of the

of whom will testify as to the cpian
tlty and value of the coal contained

forces of the country are preparing
silently and stealthily to center their
political battle In this congressional
district. For week the political
lieutenants of President Samuel
Compers, of the American Federa
tion of Labor, have infested this
district, making inquiries, conduct
ing investigations, nnd analyzing the
political atmosphere. As a result, it
is declared that the signs aro proprlt
uous and that another warfare will
be waged, with the object of relo
cating "Uncle Joe" Cannon to pri
vate life.
The labor union politicians' are
not particular as to Cannon's suc
cessor. They would prefer a candi
date favorable to ' unionism, hut
would willingly accept n foe of labor.
If thereby Speakor Cannon could be
made n premnnent resident of Danville.-
In the eyes of Uoinpcrs, the
Danville statesman is the biggest
barnacle on the ship of state, nnd the
command has gone forth that he
must be removed nt nil cost.
There is a big labor vote In this
district, and the union men declare
that the outlook for the defeat of
Cannon is more favorable thnn It
ever was before. Republican po
litical leaders, however, scoff nt the
Idea that Cannon can possibly be du
re:; led. and assert that Unele Joe Is
-4nfe lu his berth as long .ns he will
accept It, and that nothing short of
.ii'aih or voluntary retirement can
remove him from the political arena.
