terially during the past few days. Jacob
Miley, a large hopgrower on the "Willam
ette, In Union precinct, states that the
late warm rains and sunshiny days have
worked wonders In the development of
the vines. A few days ago hopgrowers
generally were discouraged over the pros
pect for a crop, as many of the hills ap
parently were not making any growth,
and it was conceded that there would be
a shortage. Now hopmen prophesy a
:good yield. Last fall Mr. Miley con
signed 50 bales of hops to London and a
like amount to New York City, but no
returns havo yet been received from these
shipments.

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

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.

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.

LA GRANDE. May 7. The Ladies'
Tuesday Musical Club, of La Grande, was
organized In December, 1S95, by Mrs. Rob

Coast of the National Federation of Mus

under the management of Mrs. Lyle for
the development of musical talent which
otherwise would doubtless have "wasted
its sweetness on the desert air." It has

By the way, what has become of the

to be impossible for women to sustain any
organization to which men wore not ad

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.
