June 6th, 1844 In 1850 bis parents

age of 9 years he started to Oregon, with
8. J. Richey who settled at Hillsboro.

since.
He has been postmaster at Logan
since December 1893 On September
4th, 1868, he was married to Miss Eliza

children survive to mourn their loss.
The (urvivfng children are Mrs. 8. W.

Rachel Burrow and Mrs. Cloe are living

active part in building the hall which
is on land donated by him. He joined
Lone Pine lodge, A. F. & A. M., in Jan.
1875 and simple-hearted faithfulness of
his character aB shown by the fact that
since that time he has missed but three
meetings of the lodge. He was possess
ed with much mechanical talent and was
of a genial diepost on, loved to associate
with youth and always ready for a good
joke or playful frolic. The funeral
services were conducted by Elder Rich,
of the Christian church on Sunday, and

Baptist church will be held on Fridav

BUILD OR NOT.
THAT IS THE QUESTION THAT AGI
TATFS THE COUNCIL.
The South End Road Provokes a
' Lively Discussion.
The meeting of the Council Monday
night was enlivened by a pretty hot hot
discussion on the south end road. Those
who are in favor of building ihe road and
those who are opposed to the improve
ment were all present, and the matter
was discussed in all of its features. Some
pretty warm talks were made for and
against. The Council itself is divided
upon the matter, but evideutly a major
ity of the members are in favor of the
road and will appropriate the money
when the time comes. The Southern
Pacific has agreed to assist in building
the road provided no grade crossing is
made. In order to get a more definite
idea of the cost of the improvement and
to learn exactly what the cost of the
road will be the entire matter was laid
over until the next regular June meet
ing of the Council.
The regular monthly bills were al.
lowed and routine business transacted.
Republican Speaking.
Binger Herman Republican candidate
for Congress will address the voters of
Oregon City on Thursday evening May

THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE
REAHES IN EUGENE HIS COLLEGE
TOWN.
He Is Popnlar In the Republicans
Stronghold-. Conducting an
Energetic Campaign.
Eugene. May 4. The visit of A. E.
Reames to Eugene was an occasion of
more than ordinary interest both to the
residents of the city and to the , candi
date for Congress. k
Eugene isx Mr. Reames' old college
town. Years ago Reames was president
of the University Democratic club anrt
that organization is still recalled as an
organization of great influence in the
Bryan and other hot campaigns.
Scores of old friends, many of there
prominent 'younit Republicans, greeteu
the popular candidate in his visit about
the city Saturday.
Mr. Reames is peisonally a popular
man in this sjrontrholj of the Republ
cans and it is predicted that he will
make a much larger showing than the
Herinano forces. .
IS ENCOURAGED
' a$an interview with The Journal rep
resentative Mr. Reames said of bis ex
peritinces in tbe preliminary part of the
campaign :
"I am more than pleased with tbe re
ception which is being accorded me
wherever I stop on this trip. At every
point I am shown that there are dozens
and scores of voters who are going to do
the right thing by me at the coming
election. The thing that encourages me
most is the way the young Republicans
are assuring me of their support. Of
course this district is normally Republi
can by a large majority. This condi
tion of things has to be overcome, but
we are doing it I can safely say, gradu
ally and surely. The fact is that we are
conducting an asu'eisBive campaign and
the opposition is on the constant deiense
ever employed in denying allegations
and statements of Democratic voters
and alwavs trying to patch up the old
wagon so that it will carry without a
wreck through the next election.'
"Tbe old wagon will not be safe"
laughed the energetic young campaigner
"if they persist in loading it down with
their denials. There won't be any room
for voters in June to ride there.
"We have an excellent organization
in the field and it is doing yoeman ser
vice. Our men are loyal and not half
hearted. The yonuir Republicans are
quietly working and evidences say that
dissatisfied men who have voted straight
old Republican politic for years will
stay at borne on the eventful day that
means a half a vote for me, yon under
stand. Yes, I really think that there
will be 9 number of these.
THE ITINERARY.
This afternoon Mr. Reamea speaks at
North Yamhill, going to McMinnville

Teachers and Preachers Who Are
Working In the Vineyard
The entertainment given by the Y. P.
8. C. E of the Presbyterian church at
Shiveleys opera house on last Friday
eveniDg was a decided suqcesa in more
ways than one. Theprogramme render
ed was an excellent one and worthy of
the occasion. Those who participated
in the evenings exercises were: Mrs.
Kate Ward Pope, Miss Grace Marshall,
Mrs. W. E. Scott, Misses May Mark,

OYER THE FALLS.
CHINOOK SALnON TO BE CARRIED
BY FISHWAY.
The Upper River to Be Stocked By
Its Construction.
The upper Willamette and its tribu
tary rivers and streams are to be stocked
with Chinook salmon bv the construction
of a fishway around tbe tails in thiscitv.
nan warden Van Dusen has been in the
city looking into the matter The en
terprise will coat Borne $5,1 00.00. It is
now the purpose to construct a trench
across tbe rocky island that projects
irum me inns 10 a point Deiow tne Wil
lamette Paper mill, by which the sal
mon can make the run up and around
tbe fulls. A chinook salmon can climb
anything except a ladder. A few cf
them every season get over the falls
without any assista"ce from any artifi
cial help. Twice before the sta'e has
attempted to bu-id a fish way and each
time, after spending some thousands of
dollars, the work has proven a failure
and the-fish way bas gone "on its way"
down to the sea. It is to be hoped that
this time the work will be better done
and that it will be successful. It is to
be hoped that more care will be taken
to keep the water of the beautiful Wil
lamette from being contaminated with
saw-dust and .efuBe from mills, factories
and contiguous works so that tbe fish of
the Willamette and its tributaries will
be preserved to the generations yet un-
Dorn.
SIXTY YEARS OLD
IS, CIVIL GOVERNMENT ON THE
PACIFIC COAST.
The Anniversary Celebrated at
Champoeg With Elaborate
Cremoney.
Tbe founding of civil government on
this coast and the substantial dedication
of all the Oregon country to American
rule was fittingly celebrated at Cnauipoeg
on last Saturday. It was just sixty yiai s
when a hardy little band of pioiiees
, ong whom there ere many subjects
he British flag met at this self uaui ;
nt and established tbe first civil
uvernment in this part of the world
and they also determined in their soverin
capacity that this country with all of its
possibilities and its limitless extent
should forever become tbe property of
the United States.
The British at that time were exercis
ing dominion over a great part of it
practically through the... Hudson Bay
Company claiming all ot its vast reaches
of mountain and plain. A magnificent
marble shaft bas been set up to mark
the place where this crowd of early pio
neers met to make history and preserve
a land ot promise to their, children for
all time under the stars and stripes.
Only one person who helped to form
the provisional territory of the territory
of Oregon is alive to day and he is so
enfeabled by age and disease that he
was not able to be present at this time.
A large number of people went from this
city and attended the exercises and short
speeches were made by Judge William
Galloway, Hon. Chas. B. Moores, Mrs,
Robert A. Miller, Frank Davey. of
Salem, was tbe principal speaker, and
ex-Governor Geer presided. Ii wag a
source of regret that F. X. Matthieu, the
sole survivor of tbe founders of Oregon's
provisional government, was ill and was
unable to be present. Among those
present from Oregon City were t H, C.
Stevens, Mr and Mrs. David Caufield,
Mrs. Sarah H. Evans, Mrs. Shirley
Buck. Mrs. R. Miller, Judge and Mis.
Wm. Galloway, Waldo Caufield, Robert
A, Caufield, Mr. and Mrs. 0. B. Moores
Mrs. Josephine DeVore Johnson was
also present. Among tbe pioneers were
Mrs. R. F. Caufield, 1849; 0. B.
Moores, 1852; William Galloway, 1852;
Mrs. J. DeNo-e Johnson, 1853; Mrs. C.
B. Moores. 1857; Mrs. R. A. Miller,
1859.

Bold Highwayman Presents Pistol
and Takes the Coin.
Robert Currin, of Ourrinsville, met
with an experience on his way home
last Saturday evening that he does not
wisti to repeat. He bad hauled a load
of hay to the railroad camp and as be

unsuspecting and unarmei farmer and
demanded his money. Mr. Currin only
bad $15 with him, the sale price of bis
load of ha, this be reluctantly turned

appeared. The highwayman was not
disguised and there is no clue to bis
identity.
