TO OREGON IN 1844
CORVALLIS. Or.. April 24. (Spe
cial.) Hon. A. M. Wltham. ex-State
Senator and Oregon pioneer of 1844
and one of the most highly respected
cltlaens of Benton County, died at his
pioneer home, "one mile and a half
west of Corvallis. of heart failure,
April 17. at the age of 8 years. 6
months and 2 days.
He waa born in Union County. Indi
ana. September IS. 1821. He resided
in his native state until 1844. and
then, with his sister, wife and two
children, started for Oregon. At St.
Joseph. Mo,, he Joined a large train
of 70 wagons, and coming via the
Southern route he arrived In the
Autumn in Jackson County. Without
delay he then moved on to Benton
County and settled on what Is known
as the S. K. Brown farm, lAter he
moved to the 'McClaln place, near
Phllomsth. and In 184ft homeateaded
S40 acres about two miles west of
Corvallis. to which he hed added hy
purchase until the original homestead
comprised 12S0 acres.
in 1861 Mr. Wltham was elected to
represent Benton In the Stats' Sen
ate. In 1S1 he was elected to the
Senate as Joint Senator from Polk and
Benton. In his public career, as well
from Portland and Astoria to San
Francisco, and "with good prospects of
success, if the movement recently In
augurated, to place the gasoline
steamer Anvil on the run between
Portland and Tillamook Bay should
fall. The San Francisco merchants have
become familiar with the situation in
this section, relative to the unsatisfac
tory transportation facilities and ex
cessive freight rates now being Im
posed by the Pacific Navigation Com
pany, and are soliciting: the trade of
the Tillamook Bay merchants.
The Miami Lumber Company, which
owns and operates the big sawmill at
Hobsonvllle, a point on Tillamook.
Bay Hi miles north of Bay City,, is
ready to place Its line of steamers on
the route between Hobsonvllle and San
Francisco, and oftera to make a
freight rate -of $2.50 per ton on general
merchandise between the two points.
San Francisco" Arter Trade.
The company's proposition la con
tained in a letter addressed to the mer
chants of Tillamook Bay points under
date of April 15, the full text of which
follows:
Referring to our letter sent you the
latter part of January regarding freight
from here to Tillamook Bay. We are Just
In receipt of advices from our mill people
Saying they expect to resume operations at
the end of tills week. We figure they will
accumlate enough lumber to warrant put
ting our steamer on that run within 30
days, and from the present position of
steamer "Minnie E. Kelton" we think she
will be ready to sail from here for Hobson
vllle about the loth of May.
We think It will be to your Interest to
submit your lnoulrles to dealers In this city
as thetr prices should be lower than Port
land and Astoria houses. We will make
you a freight rate of per ton from
San Francisco to Hobsonvllle on general
merchandise at shipper's risk. You can ar
range with our Hobsonvllle people for
freighting the stock from Hobsonvllle to
Its destination.
If you have any goods coming forward
from this city please advise the houses here
that are to furnish it to make shipment by
our steamer, and we assure you any busi
ness Intrusted to us will have our very best
attention.
Prefer to Trade With Portland.
The merchants here prefer to trade
with Portland houses, believing their first
duty to be to Oregon Interests. However,
the heavy burden imposed upon them by
the Pacific Navigation Company, and the
unsatisfactory service rendered by the
steamer Sue H. Elmore, the only boat
operating from Tillamook Bay, has forced
them to the point where they are ready
to turn their business to San Francisco
In order to protect their own interests.
It would mean a great saving to the mer
chants to purchase their goods In San
Francisco and take advantage of the low
freight rate offered by the Miama Com
pany, but all have expressed their de
termination to carry out thc-U part of the
contract and patronize the steamer Anvil
if that boat Is placed on the run be
tween Portland and Tillamook Bav
points.
A rate of J2.fi0 from San Francisco to
Hobsonvllle would mean a total rate of
S per ton to Bay City, as the merchants
find they can freight their stock from
Hobsonville to this place at a cost of 60
cents per ton. At the present time they
are paying from 6.50 to per ton from
Astoria and Portland.

he decided hy these people between now and
MONDAY, May 3 JUST ONE YEAR from
the day this elegant store was first opened.
The manager of this firm is willin:? to admit
that he lias with this appeal exhausted all the
resources at his command. Ever since the No
vember panic, when this conee.-n was so near
to being swept from its foundation, it has been
one constant liquidation through hard and
trying times, until the enormous sum of over
$75,000 has been paid, 100 cents on the dollar.
Much advice and some urgent appeals were
made to the management during those days
to let the establishment go on the rocks; but
to the present management, necessity, not
choice, will bo the only master to cause such
an occurrence.
The usual course pursued by houses needing
financial help has not been taken by this one.
We have not attempted to conceal matters; we
have been open and above board with the peo

us well ; they know of the ' hard, strenuous

when in a few hours (yes, minutes) we were
compelled to. raise hundreds, and sometimes
thousands, of dollars.'
BUT WE ARE NOT GOING TO ASK YOU
FOR SOMETHING FOR NOTHING. IT'S

was ended and the devotion of the dead
man to his lost love was shown to be true
to death. The terms of the will cut his
two brothers and one sister oft with a
dollar each, leaving the whole estate,
worth several thousand dollars, to Mrs.
Mary Currarf, formerly Miss Mary Don
nette. Fifty years ago. In one of the Eastern
states, Hermlngile Bernier and Frank
Curran were rivals for the hand of Mary
Donnette. Curran won the heart of the
Rirl and Bernler vowed he would never
marry. For years, during the best part
of his life, he served in the Regular Army,
saving, his comrades say. every cent he
could possibly hoard. When he retired
he came to Walla Walla, where his former
sweetheart and her husband lived. Cur
