EARLr-DAY UNION COUNTY ' MINER DEAD AT FRISGH Word has been received of the death at his home in San Francisco of Sam uel Williamson. The deceased was a cousin of Samuel B. and John T. Will iamson and Mrs. Hannah Rogers of this city. He was an early resident of Union county and.. was for a con- sulerab.e period encaged in mining at Sparta when that part of the country belonged to Union county. After leaving Sparta, "Sam. as he was known by everyone, went to San r rancisco where he has been living the past twenty-five or thirty years. Kis death was indirectly a result of the big earthquake and fire in San Francisco. The house which he oc cupied at the time of the shock was totally demolished and Mr. William son was thrown into the street where he remained in an unconscious- state for several hours. The ordeal pro duced a serious effect on his nervous system. A short time ago he was con siderably jarred in a hotel elevator and he relapsed into the condition in which he was found the morning af ter the big quajce. He was removed to a hospital and did not (recover. Since his removal to San Francisco Mr. Williamson made frequent visits to La Grande 'the last of which was but two or three years ago. The news of his death will be received with deep regret by his many, old friends and acquaintances and especially among the old-time miners of the Sparta dis trict. . . Miners' Reunion at Sparta There was held at Sparta last Wed nesday a reunion of the old miners of that camp, or of those who survive as well as those who have come later. Most of the present residents of -the Sparta district arrived from fifteen to twenty-five years after those who first worked the dirt around the old town. Among the very early ones there remains now only Capt. Chas. Craig, who is marshal of Richland; Jim Holcomb, a rancher, Dan Moore, Dr. J. H. Fake, who are still resi dents of Baker county. To tbis list of survivors should be added John T. Williamson of La Grande and Uncle Billy Packwood, of Baker. But what a list there is of those whose pursuit of earthly treasure has ended: Rufus Perkins was for many years the proprietor of the old stone store where the reunion was held, Dixie Lang, one time"county commis sioner; Wash Moody, Bill Arble, about the onty democrat in the camp and who regularly was sent to the demo cratic county convention as delegate from Sparta precinct; W. W. Ross, store-keeper and ex-representative; Ed. Whitney, Jim Sommers, Dad Hen 'derson, Jim Westerdale, violinist; Win. Ellis. Sc'ottv McKinnell, Win. Ains- worth, Ed. and Wm. Wilkinson, Job Curies, Steve Pindlar, Aaron Weller, and many others prominent in affairs when Sparta belonged to Union coun- ty, are included in the list of absent ones.

' Its first principle consists in getting FULL VALUE for each Dollar of Income expended. Getting less is not complimentary to the intelligence of even a Millionaire. I Being liberal and generous, in affairs where it is proper and deliberate to be so, differs widely from being thriftless, thought less and careless in buying things, on a busi ness basis. A habit of "Jumping at Conclusions," instead of Thinking oxit these Conclusions, costs many a man a lifetime Un-success. TOO many Americans indolently act upon the shallow theory that an article "must be" WORTH more, merely because it Costs more. They are thus taxed a heavy price, all through life, for such an indolent habit of. Thought. They work hard, industriously and in telligently, to acquire money. Then (for their personal needs) they "Spend it with a Spade." Is this complimentary to the judgment of even the Wealthiest? Do people become Wealthy who acquire the careless HABIT of "Spending Money," instead of intelligent, thoughtful BUYING with it? MONEY cannot make BETTER Fabric Tires, at ANY price, than Goodrich 47-Year Exper ience, -300, 000, 000 lbs. Purchasing-Power, and Deliberate Intention, are now producing. No Rubber Concern in the world could afford to offer the low Fair-List Prices here quoted, on Fabric Tires (for such HIGH quality) without the enormous Goodrich VOLUME, which so reduces Cost as to make these lowest prices possible. When, therefore, you pay MORE than these Goodrich Fair-List prices for ANY Fabric Tire, you are NOT getting "better" Tires. Test out Goodrich Tires, and see ! THE B. F. GOODRICH CO. ) Akron, O.
