THE LATE JAMES MACKEY. OREGON CENTENARIAN.
JAMES MACKEY, one of the oldest
men in Oregon, died last night at
6 o'clock at Mount St. Joseph's
Home for the Aged at East Thirtieth
and East Stark streets. He was 101
years old. Mr. Mackey came to Port
land from Corvallls about a month ago.
Monday his remains, which are now
at the undertaking establishment of
Dunning, McEntee and Gilbaugh, will
be shipped' to Corvallis for burial.
He is survived by seven children.
They are: Mrs. John McGee, Corvallis;
John Mackey, Cape Horn, Wash.; Will
iam Mackey, Independence, Or.; Mrs.
Annie Herbert, Ottawa, Can.; Mrs.
KUen O'Neill, Barnes Corner, Y. Y.;
Mrs. Eliza Johnson. Algnace, Ont., and
Michael Mackey, Toledo, Or.
Mr. Mackey became a centenarian
more than a year ago, and reached his
101st birthday August 27, last. He
was a native of Ireland, where he spent j
tils boyhood days. When he was 14
years of age, he emigrated with his
family to America, settling near Que
bec. He was never content to remain long
in one place and drifted from place
to place encountering many exciting
experiences. At times he worked as a
stonecutter. In 18S2 he came to Ore
gon, which has since been his home.
Mr. Mackey was a tall, fine-looking
old gentleman, and one talking to him
would never suspect that he had
reached and passed the century mark.
Time had erased frorti his memory
many of the experiences of his life,
but he could talk by the hour of the
days gone by.
Mr. Mackey led an easy life and
never paid much attention to the
rules of hygiene and health. He was
naturally healthy and only once in his
life was sick, and that was with a
fever. He used tobacco and drank
whenever he had a mind to, but did
not partake of either to excess. Death
was due to old age.
y. M. C. A. BEAT
MULTNOMAH DEFEATED IN BAS
KETBALL CONTEST.
Two Halves End In Tie, and in Play
ing to First Score, Asso
ciation Wins.
The Y. M. C. A. basketball team de
feated the Multnomah Club team in the
latter's gymnasium last night by the
score of 16 to 14. The outcome of the
game was a surprise and few Y. M. C.
A. supporters thought that the Associa
tion boys hadmuch chance against the
clubmen. At the end of the first half
nearly all the Y. M. C. A. supporters
gave up hope, for the score then was 9
to 3. But at the first of the second
helf the Association team was strength
ened by a new guard and showed im
proved form. Dr. Thornton, the new
guard of the Association team was the
man who tied the score. By two well
directed baskets near the end of the
second half he made the score even.
Russel was the man who won the day
for the Y. M. C A., for after the second
half had ended and the same was de
clared a tie, it was decided to play for
the first score. He threw a basket in
the middle of a crowd of his opponents
and was carried off the floor on the
shoulders of the other Association boys.
Fast "playing marked the game and
a number of. fouls were made In by
Multnomah and 9 by the Y. M. C. A.
A spirit of jealousy prevailed through
out the game, and two of the players
almost came to blows. After the game
however, the difficulty was arranged
and the two belligerents went away
with no ill will.
Toward the end of the second half
both teams played at their best, each
realizing that the championship of the
city rested on a few minutes' work.
The Association team, however, had the
advantage of endurance., and while
some of the clubmen seemed ready to
drop out, the Y.'M. C. A. boys were as
fresh as at the start. During the last
three minutes of the game the ball was
around the Y. M. C. A. goal, but the
boys were unable to score till Thorn
ton, by a fine throw from the center of
the floor tossed the ball into the bas
ket. The Y. M. C. A. did not show as much
team work as Multnomah, and a great
GUIDES CHILDREN
Kxperlence and a Mother' love Make Ad
vice Valuable.
An His.1 mother writes about feeding
children:
"If mothers would use Grape-Nuts more
for their little ones there would be less
need for medicines and fewer doctors'
bills.
"If those suffering from indigestion
and stomach troubles would live on
Grape-Nuts, toast and good milk for a
short period they would experience more
than they otherwise would believe.
"Our children have all learned to know
the benefit of Grape-Nuts . as an appe
tizing, strengthening food. It is every
evening, with few variations, like this:
'Mama, let's have toast and Grape-Nuts
for breakfast: or, let's have eggs and
Grape-Nuts -never forgetting the. latter.
"One of our boys in school and 15
years of age repeatedly tells me his
mind Is so much brighter and in every
way he feels so much better after having
Grape-Nuts as a part if not all his break
fast." Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Creek. Mich. Read the little
book, "The Road to Wellvllle," In Jikts.
"There- a Reason,"
many times the ball was thrown direct
ly into Multnomah's hands. ;
Walter Winslow of Willamette acted
as referee, and his work throughout
was without the slightest shade of par
tiality. Some of the younger club root
ers accused him of "throwing" the
game, but this was not sanctioned by
any of the older members.
For Multnomah, Barton put up a
splendid game and made one spectacu
lar throw that astonished the erjwd.
He was standing exactly in the center
of the floor and tlirew a basket while
his opponent was attempting to wrest
the ball from him. The line-up:

All Trains Over Main Line Depart
on Schedule Time.
Washouts on the main line of the O. R.
& N. near Arlington, reported Friday
evening, were repaired yesterday and all
trains left on schedule with the excep
tion of the Spokane Flyer, which did
not get away last night on account of
continued trouble on the Washington
division. Washouts' on the Washington
branches are said to be very numerous
and It Is not known just ' when traffic in
that territory will be resumed. Travis
reached the city last night on time.
Chief Engineer Koschke, of the O. R. &
N.. had a narrow escape from death
while at work clearing the snow slides
that have been frequent in the Columbia
gorge during the past week. He missed
his footing and was caught beneath a
rotary snowplow which , was in action.
He escaped with a few bruises.
General Superintendent Buckley also
had a close call, falling almost under the
wheels of a locomotive, which was stop
ped just in time to prevent an accident.
WILL GIVE BIGGER LOAF
Master Bakers of Portland Organize',
but Will Not Haise Price.
The master bakers of Portland formed
a protective association last night in
the office of the Retail Grocers' Associa
tion. The organization- will be known
as the Portland Master Bakers' Associa
tion and its purpose will be to arrange
better trade relations between the dif
ferent owners of bakeries. No stand
will be taken to raise the price of
bread, but the members declare "that
they will all try to arrange a plan
whereby a larger loaf will be given at
the present price. The officers are:
President, E. S. Miller; first vice-president,
H. Brammer; second vice-president,
John Matschiner; secretary, C. B.
Merrick; treasurer, H. F. Rittman. The
association will meet the second and

PLAXS FOR MINOR & COHEN'S
. . . 'NEW. STRUCTURE.
Every Convenience Provided For.
Sales and- Repair Departments
Under Separate Management.
Minor & Cohen's new garage, now under
construction at the corner of Sixteenth
and Alder streets, will be one of the
best equipped establishments in the West.
The place will be 56 by 100 feet without
posts, and the repair shop and sales
room will be separate. Each will be
under separate managements. H. M.
Covey will have charge of the sales.
while Cohen & Minor will do the repair
work. This plan is followed by all the
leading shops of other cities, as the deal
ers declare that a man cannot give his
attention to one branch of the business
without slighting the other.
The building will be modern in every
detail, and planned after the big shops of
otner cities, it. will have ventilating sky
lights to allow the smoke and gas to
escape. These, with the numerous small
windows on the sides and the plate glass
front, will make the building as light
as could be desired. The offices and
waiting-rooms will be in a gallery 11 feet
above the level of the floor.
The wash rack will be big enough to
allow two machines on It at one time.
lxckers for the men will be built back
of each stall, while a room will be built
for the use of drivers. The repair shop
will be 44 by 50 feet, giving room to
work on ten machines at one time. It
will be some time until the shop will be
ready for occupation, as piles must be
driven for the foundation.
WATER CODE SATISFACTORY
EASTERN' OREGON PEOPLE ARE
WILLING TO ACCEPT IT.
Even With Amendments, It Is Prer
crable to No Legislation, Says C.
IVVMallctt,'' of Ontario.
C. W. Mallett, of Ontario, who has
been at Salem working for the pro
posed water code, was in Portland
yesterday. Mr. Mallett's visit to Sa
lem was made on the earnest solicita
tion of people who live in Eastern Ore
gon and are desirous tha,t the present
Legislature take some action in regard
to the use of the waters of the various
streams for Irrigation purposes. The
water code bill is now in the hands
of the Joint commltttee on irrigation,
and while there have been many
amendments Mr. Mallett is of the opin
ion that the law has been benefited by
the changes.
The code met with considerable op
position, chiefly because of the great
expense it contemplated, but the peo
ple living In the arid districts of the
state feel that the - time has come for
radical legislation governing the con
trol and distribution of the waters and
they hope that the law may be passed,
even though it' may be faulty In some
respects.

THIRD
AND OAK
lett, "feel the great necessity of water
legislation. We are of the opinion
that all rights for the use of water
should be adjudicated and made a mat
ter of record. On large streams where
only a few are using water there is
no crying need for action at this time,
but on the smaller streams the meas
urements and apportionments of the
water should be under the supervision
of state officials, and they should have
power to regulate and dtstrfbute the
water according to the recorded rights
of the users: -
"I understand there is some opposi
tion to the water code because tho
cost of the necessity of paying officials
for doing the work is greater than the'
people caji stand. I want to say that
the cost of distributing tho water as
the law stands today is greater than
it would be if the water code were In
effect. Because of the lack of state
supervision there is constant litiga
tion and any one who knows anything
about law will realize that litigation
is not carried on without great ex
pense. "While I must confess that I am not
altogether satisfied with the water
code as it now stands, I must also say
that 1 cannot see any hope ofVnything
better, and I believe the people who
got me to go to Salem are willing to
chance .the proposed law with the
amendments that have, been sug
gested." -.
Marion Growers to Organize.
SALEM. Or.. Feb. 9. (Special.) The
Marion County fruitgrowers held a
meeting at the Grange hall today and
took definite steps toward the forma
tion of a fruitgrowers' association. A
committee consisting of George W.
Weekes, Lloyd T. Reynolds, A. M. As-
plnwall and W. W. Hall was appointed
to work up interest among the fruit
men and to lay plans for the comple
tion of the association.
Professor I. C. Lewis, of the Horti
cultural Department of the Oregon
Agricultural College, delivered an ad
dress In which he set forth the
advantages that could be derived
from a well organized union In
securing higher prices and more ready
markets.
TWO HOSPITALS
Two more cases of Brlght's Disease
that recovered after the treatment in hos
pitals had failed and life was despaired
of.
One is John H. Gyselaar, the well
known merchant of Eureka, Cal. He was
in the Lane Hospital in San Francisco
for three months. Was so swollen with
dropsy that he had to be tapped every
ten days.' He was steadily sinking when
his -family took him home and put him
pn Fulton's 'Renal Compound for Bright's
Disease. The tappings ceased and he
began to mend and Is now perfectly well.
Everybody In Eureka knows of his mira
culous escape.
Another case Is that of Mr. T. J. Mul
loy of 2316 Bryant St.. San Francisco.
A few months ago he was in the U. S.
Marine Hospital in that city, and was so
low with Bright's Disease, that his sister.
Mrs. French, was advised by the physi
cian In charge that a fatal end was In
evitable and close at hand. She took
him home and put him on the same
treatment that saved Gyselaar. He re
covered, and Ave months later returned
to his employment. Write either of the
above If you question this.
