Winans and one of the oldest residents of the valley, passed away at an early hour Sunday morn ing from complications due to old age, she having reached her 90th year. The funeral was held yesterday after noon from the residence, Rev. J. T. Merrill of Portland, an old family friend officiating. Elizabeth Kinney was born at Pet ersburg, Illinois. April 22, 1823, and died February 22, 1913, aged 89 years and 10 months. In her early woman hood she was convertd to the Meth odist faith, on which she relied dur ing her long and eventful life. She knew Abraham Lincoln, having met him at the social gatherings of those pioneer days. On December 1, 1847, she was married to Edgar W. Winans of Hamilton, Illinois. Eight children were born to them. She Is survived by her husband and seven Sr., and Linneaus Winans, Sr., of Port land, Oregon; Wilson R. Winans of children as follows: Audubon Winans, Winans, Oregon; Mrs. F. R. Spauld Ing of Nez Perce, Idaho, Mrs. M. P. Neff and Mrs. W. E. Neff of Cornelius, Oregon, and Ephralm T. Winans of Hood River, also by ten of her grand children as follows: Ross M., Paul, Edith, Fair, Ethel, Mary, Audubon, Jr., and Linnaeus Winans, Jr., of Winans, Oregon, and Walter T. Deckey and I.eore M. H. Ilarnlsh of Ix Angeles, Cal. Mr. and Mrs. Winans lived a pioneer life In Illinois and Kansas, emigrating to the latter state In 1856 and passing through the trying times of the Bor der Ruffian War and the breaking out of the War of the Rebellion. They lived within 30 miles of Lawrence, Kansas, when the Guerilla Quantrell burned and sacked that town and were often exposed to danger of guerillas who murdered and robbed neighboring settlers. In 1864 they returned to Hamilton, Illlnoln, to tht original Winans home- Most people think "Well, a wagon is a wagon." Sure! That's logic. It might be a wagon for a year but the next year it's a pile of junk. So there i3 something to it besides paint and outlines. . Honestly now, if you want ed to buy a wagon tomorrow, what would influence you most in your se lection? Do you know enough about how to build a wagon to see that all the good points are there?. .Or that all the bad ones are not? Well neither do we... We have to depend on the people we buy wagons of to give us our money's worth. . . So do you. And if anything goes wrong with the wag on it is always possible that a poor piece of timber or a piece of steel with a flaw in it might have slipped past the inspector at the factory, 'cause he can't see the inside of wood nor steel any better than you or I can. If any thing breaks, who do you look to for replacement? Your hired man? No sir-ee! The fellow you bought the wagon of, that's who! We've sold enough different kinds of wagons to know what's what, and we want to sell you the best, because it's the cheapest for us in the long run. We always have and always will make good on any just claim for replace ment. We want you to feel you got a square deal. We've got a lot of good wagons John Deere's, Peter Schuttler's, Davenport Roller Bearing Wagons, Studebaker's, Mandt's and we personally back ev ery one we sell. That's worth some thing to you, Mr. Man. Think it over. Then come in and see what we can do for you. Our next subject, ladies and gentle men, i3 Incubators and Brooders. The Petaluma, of course. Been tell ing you about them for the past three weeks. It's time you set yours, if you are ever going to. If you haven't got one, come in and get it. We can suit you in size and price. Awfully glad to get a chance to explain all about them. The Petaluma's have some spe cial features that you don't find on other machines. For instance, the system of regulating the air ciiculi tion. Simplest thing in the woiM. when you see how it is done. Water in the pan near the lamp furnishes, en tirely automatically, the proper amount of moisture. Heat is regu lated automatically but get the cata logue and read it! Sent on inquiry. rv NEXT! This ad is coming in relays. Thi3 relay is about plows. Yes, John Deere Plows. We sent out a circular letter this week and enclosed a book entitled "The Science and Art of Plowing," and if you didn't get yours ask us for it. It's really the neatest and most comprehensive (get that word?) little booklet we ever read. Tells us how to plow, when to plow, how deep to plow; tells about plowing sod; about fall and winter plowing; about plowing under manure and about the seed bed. Send for the booklet then examine the plows. We have got all styles right in stock soft center plows, crucible steel, chilled special hillside plows, breaking plows, vineyard plows in fact the whole plow family. And don't overlook our line of ve hicles: Spring Wagons, Discs, Har rows, Disc Plows, Kewanee Water Systems. GILBERT IMPLEMENT COMPANY
