I'edro Is a full-blood Filipino, who
has been In La Grande about two
years, making his home with Mr. and
Mrs. Goorge T. Cochran. About
three weeks ago he was taken to the(
hospital and has since been detained
there, until his death lust night.
tils full name Is .Pedro Cortes, but
in La Grande he has been popularly
known as Pedro. Every on knew him
and his quiet and unostentatious man

were among the small boya, principal
ly. Not a boy In West La Grande but
what could be called an Intimate
friend of Pedro. "
To the Cochran family be was high
ly attached arid his relations were re
ciprocated. About five years ago,
when Attorney and Mrs. Cochran were
In tho Philippines, Pedro became one
of the family. He was a boy then,
but his exact age has never been

21 years old at the time he passed
Mr. and Mrs. Cochran while they
made their stay In the Islands. Dur
ing that time, Mr. and Mrs. Cochran
conversed with him In his native
tongue, but he soon mastered the Eng

to America with the family, about two
years ago, he was able to speak Eng
lish almost fluently.
The funeral will be held from the

1MRS ARE
WELL LOADED
The Influx of homeseekers to Ore
;on Is on in full blast. On last night's
westbound train were many colonists.
The accommodations of the usual-size
train was Inadequate, and required
three additional coaches.
The influx ja not spasmodic, ap
parently, for In tonight's westbound
train are 15 coaches. This enlarged
train Is loaded with homeseekers.
There Is a possibility that the train
will be reduced before It reaches La
Grande, but the train that left Po
catello was composed of 15 coaches to
day. To all appearances, the first week
of colonist rates this spring will break
all former records for one week. A
goodly portion of homeseekers reach
ed I-a Grande today, so all the mlgia
tlon Is not passing by. More are com
