GRANDPA1
PALMER PASS
ES TO BEYOND
Died, at his home in Vale, Jan. 9,
1915, of pneumonia, John Talmer,
aged 88 years and two days.
"Grandpa" Palmer, as he was af
fectionately called by everyone, was
an old gentleman of a sunny dispo
sition, kind and good to everyone,
and a prime favorite with all the
children in the city. He had grown
into the hearts of young and old, and
while death at his age could but be
expected at any time, his sudden call
ing away was a shock and a sincere
bereavement to everyone in the city,
and all business houses in the city
were closed during the funeral cere
monies, nearly everyone attending to
! do honor to the little old man, wr.om
everybody loved.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by Rev. F. L. Cook of the Chris-
j tian church, and who gave the follow
ing brief biographical sketch of the
life of the deceased: John Palmer
was born near Jolliet, 111., Jan.7,1827.
He grew to manhood and married
Sophia Henry in his native state.
Their wedding tour consisted of their
trip across the plains to Eldorado
county, Calif. Mining was his work
for years. In July, 1878, he moved
with his family to Pendleton, Oregon.
He and his wife joined the Christian
church at Condon, Oregon, four and
one-half years ago. Mrs. Palmer pre
ceded him to the Great Beyond and
was buried in Vale.
Mr. and Mrs. Palmer were the par
ents of five children, Mrs. J. N. Top
ping, of Victoria, B. C, Mrs. Sarah
Hanna, of Vale, and Frank, Lawrence
and Edwin Palmer, of Watson, all of
whom survive.
There i3 a lot of flapdoodle ,in the
newspapers, but newspapers kill 1,000
fables where they create one.
When a man can't locate a colltEr
button in broad daylight, he wonders
how a buiglnr is going fo find money
at night.

BROGAN NEWS NOTES
A Union Hiph School for (he Owy
hee, Kinuman :md Wurren districts
seems about, to materialise. This
idea is not a row one to many of the
people in ti.i'so districts i.nd just re
cently nio--t f t he natrons have como
to see the rront nooil for a rural high
school vh-re a I anc'.i work can be
done within t cniiinr thirieen or four
toon yoar o! i l,;.s ami girls away
from homo.
Although the question has not been
voted upon, indications are that the
people in those communities favor
the establishment of such u school.
To build the t'u-t union high school
in Malheur county would be an honor
to any group of districts.
Miss Cuhill, teacher in district No.
31, writes the following nummary of
recent activities in that school:
"School vurk is tinning Hlong nice
ly and the Parent Teacher circle is
progressing. (. iast Saturday we
had a llag raising. Colonel Muller
of Payette donated the polo und the
patrons gathered at the sehoolhouse
at no n and we h id a big dinner. Be
tween '.Mi and loo people ate. In the
afternoon the mm worked in the
basement lopaiing f,,r th,. concrete.
Next l-iiday the men will hao gravel
and Saturday they will rinUh the
work, 'lhe women av going to pre
pare dinner again. This j.s ,,U th,.
work of the Pa-ei-.t-Teuoher circle.
r.xeryofe seems to I
tic over the woi k."
From present indications a goodly
number of bills bearing directly or in
directly on school matters will be in
troduced during this session of the
legislature. Some of the people re
sponsible for these bills know the
needs of rural and small town schools
and many of them do not. Every
man and woman who is interested in
the schools of the state should note
carefully what these bills mean and
what disposition the legislature will
make of them.
The honor nunils for the first th
months of school in District No. 52,
Mooreville, are as follows:
Kthel Enbody and Elmer Ask. The
pupils in this school are spending con
siderable time with their drawing
und water color work. At Christmas
time they celebrated by giving a
Christmas program.
The officers of the Warren Parent
Teachers Circle are: President, Mrs.
John Forbes; vice-president, Mrs.
H. Piatt; and secretary, Mis Ethel
wyn Boydell, who is also the teacher.
This circle is an active one and as
soon as the weather permits they are
planning to fence the school ground.
and to plant shade trees.
