To them were born seven children, three of wbom died In infancy. T I i o m s now living are Mrs J.J.H arden, C.C. and O.L. Crown of Htayton and J.K.Brown of Portland. Mr. Crown and wlf<* celebrated their golden wedding In 1006 an event enjoyed He waa a very energetic man having been engaged In various business enterprises In his native slate, In Kansas and In Oregon, being principally engaged In the saw mill business. About twenty-five years ago he cam« to Htayton and purchased the mill which was enlarged and rebuilt and Improved until it Is now one of the beat equipped mills on the Coast. His business foresight and energy launched the enterprise which has since grown Into the large Curtla Lum ber Company of Mill City. He enjoyed the distinction of being the first Mayor of the town of Htayton, and he saw the com munity develop from a mere trad ing point Into one of the best towns In the Willamette Valley. Perhaps Mr. Crown had as few enemies as any man. He had enjoyed the continued re spect of those who knew him. For about three years he had been a great sufferer, and many times his IlYe had been despaired of and when his last sickness came It was apparent that be could not last many days. On Sunday evening December 27 at six o’clock death came as a relief. For about fifty years he bad been an active Odd Fel low.

They are harder to kill than cougars 1 would suggest a bounty of $15 on cougars and $5 on bobcats. These prices will induce hunters to destroy them to a great patent. By these precautions our Jeer will Increase so fast that In few years we will need only to rotect male deer In the months of lovember and December. Female fleer should be protected all months In the year except September and October. There should be no bounty in bear as they do not destroy deer Elk should be protected for five yean Dogs should not be allowed to cha$e deer. Chinese pheasants should be pro tected for five years, and then the Imlt should only be five birds per day—five Is enough for any man in >ne day. The birds are now so scar ce in this locality that a man has to nearly run his legs off to get a bird This overcomes the pleasure.— N.HMARTIN.—OKHGONIAN.
