Com' Sttppt Car Comoanv Will Be Asked to Lower Gladstone-Oregon City Fare. George Quion. On Sunday, in the beantifnl little cemetery at Caneniah, friends aud relatives laid to rest all that wag mortal of our, citizen, . George O. tyuinn. He was bnned with the servioe of the Catliolio Church, the oharcu of his baptism, and the one of which he became a devout member before he died. By his death there is to be uotod the passing of the members nt pioneer families oi the little town aud of this section, one of the earliest settled of the Northwest. It is recalled that members of the faimlies ot Colburn, Fields, Fellows, Bell, Hedges, Oareuthers, Gauoug, Fouta, Biugman, Strickler, Epperly, Miller, Marshall, Blauehard, Cassedy, Stevens and others ot the old families that com posed the population of Canemah in the pionner days, have long siuce passed the bourue over which none ever returns. This, thougn, is the first death of oue of the family, who had grown to an age when bis absence will create a void that time will not efface, and that will leave the chair forever vacaut at the fireside. George was born more than thirty three years ago in the hoose that dur ing his entire life has been his home. I11 disposition he was retiring, kind, modest aud generous, and will always be remembered by those who have been his playmates and Ins friends of inaturer years, as both peaceful aud a peacemaker. And 'so modest was lie thut he woulu umer take to himself credit that was due tor his tood and noble deeds He was a member of Willamette falls Camp, No. 148, Woodmen of the World, from whose uieinbeis the pall bearers were chosen. The number of lriends who accom panied the remains to their final earthly home was a silent expression of the esteem in which George was held in lite, aud demonstrated how greatly his death is deplored by the whole community. He suffered intensely during the ltast few weeks of his life, which suff ering his friends would have spared him, had they been able to do so, because of his genetosity in life, aud of the aid and comfort he has o often extended to others. But he endured it uncomplainingly, feeling it was God's will aud way. And now his soul is at the threshold of heaven, tnuuieut arilv hesitating aud detained lor that purification whicu alone will lit it ior eternal rest with God. Pnnnlo livincr iii Gladstone want twttar fiirn between Ureirou Ulty anu Gladstone, and Gladstone and Portland are taking active steps to procure it. Members of the Gladstone Improvement Association are out with a petition Hint, ia limne- widely sinned asking that the Oregon Water Power Company lower the rate between tnese ponus. uk time, when the company was under dif- fr.ro.it nnntrnl t uiu it is now, mere was a commutation rate between Ore gon City and Ghulstono of 2'i cents, It is now 4 xf cents. Tho argument that Gludstonites bring up is 0110 or uiHcriiiiiuiinuu. j. claimed that by taking distance into consideration their town is grossly dis criminated ngainst. At the present time, it alleged, a person can travel from Green Point to Canemah for 3 cents, while 4j cents is asked between Green Point and Gladstone, which is about half tho former distance. This is a thorn in the sido of the citizens liv ing in Gladstone, which has lately taken a decided boom, aud it thero is any possible remedy, it ia going to be plied. Just what action the company will take on receipt of tho petition is a question, but it is thought by some of the sanguino dwellers on the north side of the Clackamas thut some reduction in the fare will bo made. Many of the emnloves of the milln and factories in Oregon City- live in Gladstone, and their travel on the cars is quite an important factor in the receipts of the company, and it is not unlikely that their request will be met with some consideration. WILL COMMENCE GKINDING. Farmers Begin to Deliver Wheat at the Local Mill. With the coming of the autumn days comes the. harvest of the county wheat crop, and farmers are already bringing in wheat and making deliveries to me mill of the Portland flouring mill of this citv. Wheat is not only being de- vered bv. wagon, but also by steamer anil rail. The local mill has not run steadily for the last few years, but was started up Saturday for the fall run, and al though the mill is not running at its fullest capacity, it will probably run for some time. From reports received from the coun try, the average yield of wheat in Clack- unas County will be between 27 and Jt) bushelB per acre. The grade of wheat is good this year, and the farmers are getting a better price for their product here than the valley farmers, for tho reason that it is closer to market. In this section the farmers have got better wheat, and there is a better price for it than at any time for the past five years, and they are all feeling pretty prosperous over tho matter. The ruling price for wheat delivered at the mill is t4 cents. Many of the farmers are holding for a better price, but there is not much indication that it will ad vance, as the valley wheat has to come in competition with the Eastern Oregon wheat, which is of better quality, and always in greater demand. Loss Will Be Felt by the Entire munity. In the. death of Mr. Michael Walsh of Milwaukie, a highly respected and prosperous farmer, the community suf- fers a loss which will be keenly felt by all. Mr. Walsh, bom in Ireland 65 years ago, came to New York when young man, where lie lived for a num. her of years. Like many more, though he had a longing to go West, which he finally gratified, coming to California first, and from there to Oregon. Lo eating on a tract of land then heavily timbered, he gradually made it into one of the most beautiful farms now Bur rounding Milwaukie. Here he passed peacefully away, attended by his wife and children, who have been constantly hy Ins side during his late illness. Mr. Walsh received injurios some 25 years ago while in the employ of tho Southern PaVifie, from which he never fully recovered, and which was account able in hastoning the end of a well spent life. Ho is survived by his Wife and tho following children: Sister Mary Ignatia, or St. Mary's Academy, Portland Frank Walsh, of Seattle; Richard Walsh, of Portland, and Rose, John Michael and uwen Walsh, who are home at present. Accused of Stealing a Horse. in Justice Stipp's courtroom Tuesday morning, Earl Chapman, of Clacka mas,, wus arraigned for stealing a horse, the accuser being J. II. Warde. The examination excited considerable inter est, and was witnessed by a crowd of the usual curious individuals, with coats off, who aro to bo found always around courtroom. Examination was waived for the de fendant by his attorneys, Geoige 0. Rrownell and G. C. Hayes. Chris Schuobel conducted the examination. The bond for tho young man was fixod at $oOO, and was quickly furnished. Card of Thanks. Wo wish to express our sincere thanks to all those who so kindly assisted us uring our late illness and bereavement. MRS. WALSH AND CHILDREN. Sees the Ocean After Thirty Years. While it is not li very remarkable thing to hear of a man who has not seen tho ocean or boon on an outincr to the beach for 31) vears. vet when it loes come around that such a person exists, it is cause for remark. George Armstrong and wifo left yesterday for snip ?SJj oqi aq n. pun 'lpmoq oi n .ill years that Mr. Armstrong lias seen the billowy ocean and tramped along the mdy beach. Vacations have been spent in tho mountains and at other laces, but the beach has been noglect- ed until this season, when Mr. Arm strong, who is a prominent -citizen of Re.dland, made up his mind to go to the seashore. With hearts as light as school children, he and his wife left yesterday for their outing. EIVEE VERY LOW. Steamers Are Loaded Twice at Paper Mill Dock. Low water in the Willamette is great ly interfering with the commerce of the river, both on the upper and lower rivers. Kspeciully so in the locks, where the water is so low that steamers load ing at the dock of the Willamette Pulp & Paper Company can only take, about a third of a load. The full loud is ob tained by loading a barge and floating it out through the locks, and then re loading oh the steamer in the river. This is a very inconvenient method and the mill men would welcome a slight rain up the. valley, as it would ma terially raise the river and enable the boats to clear with the usual 175 tons of paper, instead of only taking about 80 tons. watched carefully by tho pooplo. It is close to Broithaupt's place, and tho sparks which fly from the burning trees and logs aro a menace to the surround ing country, which is as dry as tinder. Tho residents of the district are worried a mi ure doing everything possible prevent the fire spreading. to . Crown Making Dock Repairs. The Crown Paper Company is making improvements to the dock that is on the west side of its plant, on the other side of the river. Tho old dock has been for a long timp a source of un noyance. to tho managers of tho com pany, and at the low stago of tho river they are taking advantago of the op portunity and placing new timbers ami flooring. The repairing will be in progress for some timo, and will cost the company a neat sum, but when fin ished will grently add to the appear ance of the mill, besides facilitating the loading of boats.
