Jeorge W. Galbreath, a uromi-
nent farmer of Washington
bounty, died at his home near
fualatin, January 31, after a se-
e illness of Pernicious Ane-
. I 1 I 1 11 ' A 1
mta, wun Allien ne was aiiuciea
eighteen months au. He was
greatly improved during the
past summer, by transfusions of
blood from two daughters, and
everything pointed to a complete
recovery until a month ago,
when he had ;t sod ti attack of
pneumonia which resulted in his
alh.
Mr. Galbreath was Iwrn in Van
:Wen County, Iowa. May 8,
1S50, crossing the Plains with
his parents at two years of age,
by ox team. His parents settled
on a donation ela.m of thtee hun
dred and twenty acres near
l'ualatin,' where Mr. Galbreath
remained with them until the
age of sixteen, when he started
out to earn his own living. He
gave the greater part of his
wages to his parents until he
was twenty years of age, thus
assisting in the support of the
younger members of the family.
At the time he left home he
made his way to Idaho, where
he was engaged in mining and
prospecting, tor about twelve
years, and in 1877. following
his
marriage, he took up
his abode
upon a farm
west of Tualatin,
where he
has since resided, es
tablishing his home in the midst
of a dense forest. He had one
hundred and eight acres of land,
all of which was covered with
timber, and at once he began to
clear away the trees and plow
and plant the fields.
As the years have passed this
farm has been transformed into
one of the best equipped places
of the neighborhood, and Mr.
Galbreath has very successfully
carried on general farming and
stock raising, having made a
specialty of the production of
onions.
Mr. Galbreath was married in
1877. and the marriage has been
blessed with seven children:
Mrs. Ben Carpenter. Miss Nettie
Galbreath. Mrs. Lottie roster,
Mrs. VV. S. Campbell. Miss Mar
tha Galbreath. Mrs. Olive Nelson
and Miss Edna Galbreath.
He has taken a prominent
part in promoting the cause of
education and advancing the
standard of schools, as w.-ll as
social problems.
He is survived by a wife and
seven daughters, three brothers,
Joseph. Lycurgus and Samuel,
and two sisters, Mrs. Martha
Stone and Mrs. Ed. Becker.--Contributed.

E KILLS
DISTRICT BOND BILL
Scheme to Tunnel Portland Moun
tain (joe by the Board at Salem
B00V THOUGHT IT TOO BIO A BURDEN
Hoped of doner Communication
Be-
Iween Counties i Shallered
The legislature has failed to pass
the bond measure authorizing a
bonding of lands in the territory
involved for the purpose of con
structing a tunnel through the
Portland mountain, under Port
land Heights, for the purpose of
uniting, geographically, the
counties of Multnomah and
Washington.
The bill would most, likely have
been referred had it passed, a3
there was considerable opposition
to the project, in the territory
involved.
The building of the tunnel has
been the dream of many Port
landers, aa well as many all over
Washington County, but the cost
of construction was so much that
the legislature felt that this was
an inopportune time to even give
the residents a chance to vote
upon it as a bonding district
Hence it fell by the wayside, and
the road over the hill, and
tnat via Bertha, will be the
thoroughfares to Portland for
some, time to come.
