OREGON PIONEER DIES
AFTER LONG ILLNESS
Mount Pleasant school won an easy
victory over Eastham school in ; a
balL game Friday. The score was
12 to 5.
George William McCarver, a native
of Oregon and one of the most wide
ly known pioneers of this section,
died at the home of his sister, Mrs.
Charles Babcock, in Oregon- City
April 23, after a long illness and fol
lowing two operations, , one 14
months ago and the other on Nov. 8.
Mr. McCarver was born in Canemah
February 6, 1855. He was the eldest
son of the late Thomas Jennings Mc
Carver and Mary E. McCarver, early
Oregon pioneers, and grandson of the
late General M. M. McCarver, who
came to the Webfoot state in 1843.
He had resided in Oregon City nearly
all his life, except for a few years
when he lived at Sprague, Wash., and
Ruby City, Wash. For 20 years he
was connected with the Charman and
Son store.
He was a lover of flowers and
made them a hobby for, many years.
He had habitually worn a lapel bou
quet of seasonable blooms since boy
hood. He held a tiny bunch of violets
in his hand when death came.
Probably no man in Clackamas
county was better known than George,
Esquire, as he was called by his nun
dreds of friends. His personality
was magnetic in its unvaned opti
mism and sincerity.
His was the third death in the Mc
Carver family in the last few months.
His mother, Mrs. Mary McCarver,
died here Nov. 30, and his brother,
Harry McCarver of Portland, passed
away Dec. 14.
He was a member of the Elks
lodge. One son, Fred K. McCarver,
of Venice, Cal., three sisters, Mrs.
Harry W. Myers, Mrs. Charles C.
Babcock and Miss Anita McCarver of
Oregon City; a brother, Charles Mc
Carver of Oregon City, and a nephew.
Charles Babcock, Jr., of Portland,
survive him. He was a nephew of
Mrs. Mary Hurley of Coronado, Cal.,
one of the first residents of Oregon
City, and of Mrs. Sarah Hildebrandt
of St. Joseph, Mo.
A great throng attended the fun
eral services in the Babcock residence
Sunday afternoon. Many beautiful
floral ocerings were the final tribute
of his friends to Mr. McCarver's lov
for flowers. Men and women from
Salmon fishing has become increas
ingly popular during the last week.
Hundreds of anglers are to be seen
daily at the favored spots near Ore
gon City. Large catches have been
made. Several salmon landed on reg
ulation tackle have weighed more
than 30 pounds. Because of the new
law prohibiting sale of salmon the
catches are being canned by local
residents.
Laughter and gaiety are the order
of the day at the "first line" near the
rapids, the second anchorage opposite
Oregon City and the point where the
enemy is advancing in mass forma
tion near the falls.
Spoon-hooks are the most popular
bait. It is said to be too early in the
season for the use of wobblers.
Cheers and jeers mark every catch.
A moving picture camera was set up
in a boat near the rapids last Sunday
just in the nick of time. Immediate
ly someone cried "Fish-on" in trans
ports of ecstacy, tne camera was
turned upon him and he put forth his
best efforts in "showing everybody
who should see that film just how to
catch a salmon in the most sports
manlike way. 'AH went well until his
companion in the boat snagged the
gaff-hook under the salmon's gills.
The big fish jumped and fought and
spluttered. White foam and flashing
tail were caught upon the film. Then
somebody got nervous. Instead of
lifting the huge game above the
stern, the gag-hook manipulator pull
ed it against the boat and pulled
some more. Salmon are slippery and
this one was no exception. It slip
ped. The two sportsmen were facing
the right direction, so they didn't sit
down in the river, but the bottom of
the boat received a jar that shivered
its timbers when they both made it
an emergency resting place, with the
salmon on top.
"Hold 'im up, a jealous angler
shouted. And they started to hold
'im up, but the salmon couldn't get
