ONK HY ONE THE RANKS ARE THINNING .
When the pioneers meet next month roll call will show
many who were with us last year have gone on, anil among
that number will be A. C. Huntington, distinctly one of the
pioneer characters of Eastern Oregon.
His death occurred Saturday afternoon when he had
reached almost ninety years' of age, and this community, while
anticipating that one as old as he could not live much long
er according to nature's luw, nevertheless felt that shock
which always attains the passing on of a valuable citizen, a
Christian gentleman.
Mr, Huntington was a great man; not in the sense of
seeking notieriety or public applause; not in the sense of
political or social leadership, but great in that inward manly
worth the kind that once known fastens itself upon friends
and acquaintances commanding love and respect of his fol
lowman. , '
He braved the west, coming from the state of Maine, when
he was o young man. He knew the west in its roughest
days, having followed mining and trading when few people
occupied the country west of the Rocky mountains. Through
all of those days when the roughest characters seemed to
hold command of like sparsely settled communities he never
lost the faith. He took his religious beliefs into the mining
camps, slept with them 'and brought them out with him un
sullied and unshaken. Mis home or his stopping place was
ever the welcome retreat for Godlymen; his latchstring was
always out to the preachers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ re
gardless of denomination; his life was ever filled with the ear
nest desire to follow in the path of the meek and lowly Naza
rene, doing his kindnesses and charities to people without
outward show or emotion. Joy and happiness came to this
good .man in the knowledge that he had done good; that he
had fed his fclloWman who needed feeding, that he had drop
ped a woi'd of comfort to an aching heart and mayhap had
caused that heart to seek its God, thus spreading comfort
and solace along the pathway of life which is ever filled with
those who suffer untold agonies by trying, to battle with prob

Mr. Huntington believed in doing what was before him
Ho believed in making the best of conditions. Hence, .when
once located in this valley ho saw the need of furniture for
the settlers who Were coming from the east in wagon Indus,
he began the manufacture In rather a crude but a most sub
stantial way of furniture for the homes. Today there are
many pieces of the Huntington made furniture In Grande
Rondo valley homes. His mertantile experience was a benefit
to settlers as his ability to trade his wares for products of
the farm ennbled the settlor to actpiire things of comfort
and permitted Mr. Huntington to carry on a business tnat
grew and pm-pered until he had sufficient of this world's
goods to live in comfort, although he was not a rich man.
For several years past he has bene feeble and unalile to
