MRS. RUBY LOOXEY. One of the Last of the Pioneer Moth ers of Oregon. JEFFERSON, May 7. Ruby Crawford Bond Looney, who died here yesterday, was born in Tennessee, March 18. 180S. Her parents were of Revolutionary stock. Her grandfather fought in the Revolu tionary "War, and her direct ancestor, George "Walton, was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, also of the Articles of Confederation on behalf of Georgia, of which state he was the first Governor. Her parents were Cumberland Presbyte rians, and she was baptized into that faith as a child. "When she was 9 years of age, her peoplo moved to Jackson MRS. RUBY County, Alabama, where she lived until her marriage to Jesse Looney. March 16, 1S27. Soon after they were married they moved north, and settled in Illinois. Lat er, hearing of Oregon, they decided to cast their lot with friends who were go ing to start to this then almost Inacces sible region. They left Independence, Mo.. May 22, 1S43, and arrived in tho Walla Walla Valley in October of that year. A letter written by Jesso Looney, October 27. 1SI3. and taken back to the States by Lieutenant Freemont. states that about 1000 immigrants came through that sea son, with over 100 wagons. In the train with the Looneys came the Applogates. Waldos, Nesmith, Smiths. Fords. Kaisers, Delaneye, Lovejoy and ' ' ior ! II ( s many others, all prominent in Oregon history. From Fort Hall, there was no trail to Oregon, but they made vone through the trackless wilds, with the assistance and guidance of Dr. "Whitman, and were fortunate In getting through with their stock and baggage, after others had. before them been compelled to aban don wagons and household goods. Their ox-teams were almost always in the lead, helping to break the way for weaker ones to follow. They got through with 24 good milch cows. They also brought several fine mares, three wagons and plenty of good ox-teams, and, although thq way was long and tedious, they trav eled in comfort. Mrs. Looney had then six .children. After looking around, they settled at Looney Butte, and here they rested from their journey to build up one of the most beautiful homes in Oregon. Jesse Looney died in 1S69, and his wife has lived here, surrounded by her children, grandchil dren and great grandchildren. Mrs. Loo ney was the first white woman to come into this little "valley, and her nearest neighbors were the "Waldos. Here she has lived and seen this country develop, and D. Schoch. W. T. Fletcher. has kept pace with Oregon and Its trans formation from a wilderness to one of the finest states In tho Union. She and her husband were progressive people, and one reason for leaving the South was their opposition to slavery. Father Looney ob jected to raising his children In a slave country. They were good neighbors and devoted friends, and did all they could to help other immigrants who came In after they were settled here. "Grandma" Looney was a remarkable woman. She enjoyed her family and was so entirely one with them that she re tained her youth and was always interest ed In all that transpired around her. She was entertaining and witty and bad a wonderful memory. Her home was al ways open to her friends, and they will miss her genial presence now that she has gone. She was the mother of a largo family of children, ten of whom are Hvms and were with her when she died. Mrs. Susan Stelwer, of Salem; Mrs. Ellen Gaines, of Vancouver; Mrs. Frances Connell, of Sa lem; Mrs. Addle Fairbanks, of Petaluma, Cal.; Miss Pauline Looney, of Jefferson, who has been her mother's devoted com panion and comfort in her declining years; John B. Looney, Jesse "W. Looney, Benja min F. Looney, -David H. Looney and Norris H. Looney, all of Jefferson. Mrs. Looney was 92 years old, and bade fair to live to 6eo her 100th year, but she was attacked by la grippe, and, notwith. standing all the care that lovlpg hands could glvs, she faded away, her own bright self to the last This closes the life history of one of the last of the pioneer mothers of Oregon.

At the regular meeting of tho City Council last evening five bids were received for the proposed improvement of Main street. The Council, after canvassing the bids and comparing them wltb the plans and specifi cations on file, decided none of the bids submitted complied with the terms of the advertisement sufficiently to justify ac ceptance.

Petition of Saloon-Keepers in South Bend May Force Matters. SOUTH BEND, Wash., May 8. The Issue In the last city election was be tween high license and low license, coupled with strict enforcement of the Sunday closing law against the sale of liquors to minors and against gambling. A Coun cil and Mayor pledged to a 5500 license and enforcement of the laws mentioned were elected, and as a result the saloons have been shut tight every Sunday since. They have, however, grown restive under the jiq7 regime, and last night petitioned the Council either to close the candy and newsstands and the bowling alleys on Sunday or permit the saloons to open. The petition was turned down. It is un derstood that some of the saloon men will force matters to an Issue by .either filing complaints against some of the open stores or by opening their saloons on Sun. day. As the ordinance under which the licenses were issued forfeits the license the moment the law is violated, the out come of the latter step, if taken, will b watched with interest. M. W. Johnson was elected Councilman in place of John Harris, resigned. The other candidate was T. F. Rixon. the vote standing: Johnson, 3; Rixon, 2. CLUBS RUN' BY WOMEX.

The Ladies' Tuesday Musical Club, of La Grande, was organized In December, 1S95, by Mrs. Rob ert Lyle. who Is secretary for the Pacific Coast of the National Federation of Mus ical Clubs. Much credit Is due this club under the management of Mrs. Lyle for the development of musical talent which otherwise would doubtless have "wasted its sweetness on the desert air."

The programme on a re cent Tuesday afternoon, under the lead ership of Miss McKennon, was charmingly arranged, and carried out. The subject. Sir Arthur Sullivan, included a biograph ical sketch and selections from his vari ous operas. Two or three gentlemen. who had been asked to assist in the pro gramme, were present, but it was ob served that they fled precipitately the moment an opportunity occurred. By the way, what has become of the scoffer who a few years ago declared it to be impossible for women to sustain any organization to which men wore not ad mitted? If be Is still alive he should visit La Grande, where he will find any number of musical, literary and whist clubs owned and manipulated entirely by women. In so much that a man could not find a place to rest tho sole of his foot, at one of their gatherings. The Neighborhood and Musical Clubs iim if ntfl in crivintr n. twenHnn In hnnnr of apvoriil of their deoartine members, and the awe with which wo men's clubs are regarded by our lords was shown by the very slight sprinkling of their sex on that occasion. Each in dividual man thought himself tho only man present, for each was surrounded by a mass of lacea and ribbons beyond which his gaze could not penetrate, and his heroic efforts to do justice to the occasion were truly heartrending. Surely every man who was present on that occasion should be presented with a medal by the clubs for his pluck, for he has been so long excluded from the social gathering of women that it is no wonder if he was dazed upon finding him self In such a maze of petticoats.
