In fact, the record of this representa

A Measuring ot Purses.
From tbe World :
Spanish 4 per cent bonds are at 32
and declining.
American 4 per cent bonds are at 117
to 119 and strong at those figures.
Here we bars tbe keynote to the mill
tary situation. War is a matter of money.
Bpain must take about 20 cents for a dol
lar of bonds and pay 4 per cent for that
dollar. We can get 118 cents for a dol
lar of bonds and pay 4 per cent for that
dollar.
That Is to say, Spain must pay 12 or 15
per cent for money, while we can bor
row it at about 3 per cent or less.
In Spain gold is at 9 per cent premium.
That is to say, the money is worth only
a trifle more than 60 cents on the dollar.
With ns all money is at par and likely to
remain so.
In 8?ain tbe bankers bold now nearly
the whole of tbe public obligations, for
eign holders having emloadad upop them'
With ns the foreign bolder are so reluc

A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.
Albany, Oregon, May 9th, 1898.
Eoitob Dkmochat.
We hear much of the Pilgrim Fathers,
and it is right thst we should honor their
memories. It is true they csme to inhos
pitable shores and made a nation in the
face of wbat seem almost insurmounta
ble difficulties, yet did they exceed the
pioneers who opened this beautiful val
ley to civilisation? The Pilgrims fled
from oppreseion and danger to life and
property, to seek freedom nd opportun
ity for growth
The pioneers left a fertile country .good ,
climate, peaceful and untroubled sur
roundings and hosts of friends to brave
tbe dangers and hardships ot tbe plains
and ot life in a new bostilo land.
This article is intended to give a por
tion of the honor due to one of that noble
b and.
Mrs. Sarah M. Hogne, relict of James
P. Uogue, died in this city February 1st
1898. She was s nsti ve of Kentucky, the
daughter of James Finney, and was born
near Flemingsburg. April 19th, 1810.
Her father was a Covenanter of Scotch
Irish descent. He was a farmer, and as
bs wss opposed to slavery moved from
Kentucky to s fsrm near Princeton. In
diana, tbat bis children might live snd
slsrn the lessons of life in a free state.
Sarah M. Finney was married tolsmes
P. Uogue in 1829, snd sfter their msr
risge they msds their home in Princeton,
in.liana, until l&Jo, wben they moved to
the present site of Monmootb. Illinois.
Tbe town was then little more than a
poetotfiee and it was -necessary to plow
around tbe "place to prereot Us being
burned. Mr. Hogue bought land for a
faro in what js now the residence por
tion of tbat city and made tbe family
home until 1844. when they again re
moved this time to a farm near McComb,
ia McDonough county, Illinois.
in tbs spring ol li3 tbs movement
serosa tbs plsins was at its height, snd
in April Mr. snd Mrs. uogue bid ure-
well to their many friends snd relatives
to start on tbs long, tedious and perilous
journey to isr on uregon.
Leaving ths fsrm in sn agents care.
they started in April, with a good an oot-
t ss could be provided, ol provisions.
horse teams, riding horses and a choice
sod selected bend of 200 young esttle.
The family then consisted of seven child
ren snd - tbs plan wss to settle in
tbe Willamette family where tbe
children cooid grow to maturity and
find home near the patents. Tbialiia
been accomplished, in that none of tbe
children live outside this valley. II at vey i
A. Uoguo the oldest son bsd preceded
tbe others, going to California in 1851
snd thence to Burlington, 12 mile sooth
of Albany, where bs wss then engaged in
business.
Thw long snd tedious trip over the
plsius has been told of so many times
that we hardly realise thst the dangers
then encoonleied were real snd not fic
tion. This party wss fortunate snd
cams into tbs valley through tbe Barlow
pass, which at tbst time wss ths only
wagon road across tbe Cascade moun
tains. Harvey met tiem in the moun
tains to assist them in crossing.
Tbs meeting wss a joyous one alter a
reparation of threw and a half years and
took place on a o right September morn
ing on Rock Creek, ten mile east ot the
crossing of John Day's river. Ue found
tbe party in good besutn snd ss will bs
teen tbey msos tne trip in good time,
without sny loss of stock They bad
been able to help others many times snd
bad never needed to ask lor help. It wss
s principle with both to offer bospitalitj
to sit wbo nee led, and the hungry met s
a cordial welcome to tbe camp fire and
Mrs. flogoe's good meets were well
known, not only on the trail, as it wis
called but i' tlheir old Iliioois bojne.
Tbe same hospitality msrkei tbe Oregon
borne, which wss mad shout ten miiee
sooth ot Albany, near the present town
of Sbedd.
I he bomeete.td at first consisted of a
half sectioo of !aod and a cabin, which
were booght fiotn a man holding a squat
ters right. "Mr. IlOue filed on the place
in October ot that year under the dona
tion land act f lhe t rritory.
in tneir new bome tbey were always
interested is every thing which tended
to build .up tbs country snd to improve
society. Tbey were foremost in helping
churches snd schools snd tbe Albany
College was one of tbe insulations most
Itbetatly supported. Tbe homestead wss
sdded to until it contained 800 acres ia
one compact farm of as good land ss can
he found. In this home the family
grew to manhood and womanhood, and
from its doors went forto to make homes
for themselves. Ths sweet of this lifs hsd
also 1 ho bitterness known to the whole
haman family, for death claimed four of
tbe children.
In 1871 the father was called Irom his
bury life bere to tbe one beyond, in
whataeemed the prime of his life. The
writer ot this met him for the only time
s short time before, while bs wss in Ills
nois on a visit to rs'aUves snd friend
snd be seemed to cronies s long and
active lils. It proved otherwise.
Upon Mrs. Uogue now fell tbs care ot
tbo farm and ot several motherless
grandchildren, these duties were per
formed as her whole bie bsd been, witn
unselfish devotion and her memory will
always be cherished by her relativee and
friends ss of 00s who slwsys snd uncom
promisingly stood for the right, snd as
one wbo trove to do her whole duty.
She was assisted by ber youngest son
Chas. P. Uogue, who administered his
father's eat ate snd ntsnaged ths farm till
it was tented in 1874.
Mrs. Hogue then came to Albany, and
built a borne In which shs resided till her
death. During the later years of ber life
sbe wss constant! with the family of her
daughter Mr. Ida Irving and passed
sway surrounded by those whom she
loved.
