Oregon Historical Society City Hail VOL. IX. JACKSONVILLE, JACKSON COUNTY, MRS. ABIGAL SCOTT DUNIWAY DEAD WOMEN VOTE Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway. who, as much as any woman, has brought about equal suffrage in many common­ wealths of the U. S., died a few min­ utes before 1 o’clock Monday morning. Her 81st birthday would have been celebrated October 22. Several weeks ago Mrs. Duniway un­ derwent a minor operation on her foot. The infection which soon afterward ap­ peared could not be localized. For several days it has been apparent that the end was near. She died in sleep. The following tribute is from an edi- trial in the Portland Telegram: “Peacefully and in the fullness of years, Oregon’s meat noted woman has finished her life’s work. Abigail Scott Duniway was a woman with a remarkable mind, » strong will that was centered in an ideal concep­ tion of the service of womanhood. She believed that women as well as men should labor potentially for the welfare of the state and of society; and she made the factual realization of that be­ lief her life's work, Her labor in that chosen field has been constant, intelli­ gent and broad-minded. The result of that labor invested her character with a certain heroism, and gave her a fame in her chosen cause that was nation­ wide.” ♦QB»- Policy Holders Will be Sued Suffrage Strengthen Socialist Parly. Christiania, Oct. 11, via London, 8:09 a. m.—Women are voting today for the first time in Norwegian general elections. There are 170,000 new elec­ tors on the rolls. Press forecasts pre­ dict the women’s vote will bring large gains to Socialistic representation in parliament, making that the strongest single paity, although the government expects to maintain itself by a combi­ nation of three political groups. The Socialist’s platform is devoted largely to an anti-military propagada. The government program includes a grain monopoly, old age pensions and restrictions of almost a prohibitive character on the sale of alcholic li­ quors. The Norwegian storthing unanimous­ ly agreed on June 11, 1913, to extend female suffrage so that all Norwegian women would have the right to vote at parliamentary elections without re­ gard to the amount of income tax. ■ ' UNITED STATES «ni*----------- — Paroles Issued by Governor S ilem, Or., Oct. 12- Following re­ commendations by the parole board, Governor Withycombe today issued pa- ro es to the following prisoners; R.

This information reached the state department from Ambassador Mergen­ thau, who stated that the majority of the Aimenians in Asiatic Turkey had been killed. Although representations were made by this government sometime ago warning Turkey that fuither atrocities against the Armenians would alienate the sympathies of the American people no answer ha3 been received. Earlier representations were met with two concessions promising that those Armenians who wished to leava the country would be permitted to do so unharmed and further that Protestant Armenians would be spar­ ed. ing Development If the people of Southern Oregon want a sugar factory which will be a Salem, Or., Oct. 11 Announcement miliion-dollar industry, all that is re­ has been made that a potato show will The St. Helen’s Ship Building Co. is quired of them is to sign contracts with be held in connection with the corn busy on 5 mast auxiliary schooner. the Oregon-Utah Sugar company that show planned here for December 1 to 4 they will plant and cultivate, begin­ The Dalles has a new soap factory. ning with the season of 1916, not less It will be under the auspices of the La Grande—Tacoma Capitalists have than 5000 acres of sugar beets in the Marion County Potato Growers’ associ­ bought Whited Mine for $30,000. ation.
