Recent Demise Drops Curtain on Use ful Life. J. W. Dickey's last place of resi dence was Suver, Polk county, Ore gon, to which place he removed from Portland two years ago. A year ago in June he had a stroke of paralysis from the effects of which he was a constant sufferer until the silent mes senger, Death, came on the 22d of the present month. He was born in Stark county, Ohio, on August 13, 1833. While a child his parents moved to Ashland county in Ohio where he spent 'his childhood and youth. In 1850 he went to California by way of New York and Panama in search of gold, enduring the hardships conse quent on the life in the mines and in farming experiences in California, when San Francisco was but a village. After about two years he returned to Ohio and soon left for the then west Corydon, Iowa. In April, 1857 he was united in marriage to Malissa Baker, who departed this life threo years ago last May. In 1803 he with his wife and family started "across the plains" coming by horse train to La Grande. The jour ney was made in three months. How eventful only persons who came across the plains in those days can realize. He helped to build up La Grande from a field of waving grass to the city that is now in evidence. In 18(55 he moved to Albany, Linn county, returning to La Grande in 181)6, where ho made his home until about 15 years ago. Ho then went to Baker but afterward made his home successively in Tacoma, Para dise, Cal., and Portland. In early life he united' with the brethren commonly known as the Dunkard church, of which he was a faithful and loyal member through out his life. He died as ho lived a faithful Christian, a loyal and loving friend. (In 1907 was observed the golden wedding of himself und wife. Three days before the death of his wife occurred the 50th anniversary of theii wedding. A son and daughter, an adopted son and two grand-daughters mourn the loss of a kind and loving father.

O. L. Triebel, jr., of Springfield, secretary, declared prices for shoes have jumped 20 to 40 per cent during the last year and it is up to the consumer to pay the price. De mand for leather for shoes for the European armies caused the advance. Triebel said tan calfskin for shoes retailing at $5.00 sold at 30 cents a foot a year ago and now brings 47 cents; men's dull calf leather, for merly 30 cents,now sells for 44 cents; white calf for women's shoes, former ly sold for 28 cents, now sells at 55, and so on down the line.

I In ''I'asquale at Arcade this Week-end ARC A DE Beautiful Myrtle Stedman appears mor,e beautiful than ever in her dar ing and hazardous portrayal of "Mrs. Martinelli" in George Beban's star ring vehicle "Pasquaie," which is re leased by the Oliver Morosco Photo play Co. on the Paramount program and will be shown at the Arcade thea tre Friday and Saturday.
