KDWAKD H. GOULD.
Old Soldier Laid to Rest in Mountain
View Cemetery.
Edward H. Gould was born August
18, 1 837. at Cambridge, Vt. When
about 5 years old his parents moved
to Canada. Later, some time in the
'50s, they moved to Fond du Lac,
Wis.
When the Civil War broke out he
sought to enlist as a private soldier,
but his imperfect eyesight led to his
rejection. Not to be thwarted in his
plans, having been a druggist, he
entered the service as a aospital
steward. Much of the time he acted
as assistant surgeon, and in emer
gencies he had to do duty as doctor
and surgeon. He was associated in
these capacities with th.e 21st Wis
consin regiment.'
His most noteworthy war experi
ence was with Sherman's forces in
their "march to the sea." Having
served to the end of the war, he
then settled in Chicago as a drug
gist and remained there until drawn
to Colorado by the lures of the min
ing fever. This was about 1S70.
Nineteen years later he came to east
ern Oregon and entered the ranch
ing business, living much of the time
in the solitudes as a lonely bachelor.
Tired of this kind of a life and desir
ing to find a home for his sister,
that they might spend their remain
ing years together, he started in
quest of a place where they could
have two things especially their
church and good water. . Ashland,
Ore., proved just the place Mr.
Gould was in search of. Preceding
Mrs. Bingham a few months, he
bought where they could have a gar
den, keep chickens and have a fam
ily orchard. On South Laurel street
he built a neat and comfortable
house, where for five. years brother
and sister have lived happily to
gether. Mr. Gould was a man of more
than ordinary intellectual ability, a
careful observer and a great reader.
These and other qualities have made
him a useful citizen. He has been
active and prominent in the Grand
Army post, having served that body
as its quartermaster for nearly five
years.
He was baptized in childhood and
was confirmed as a member of the
Protestant Episcopal church. When
about 17 years of age his strict con
scientiousness and sterling Integrity
enabled him to maintain consistent
ly Christian profession amid the
temptations of army life and the
equally trying conditions of mining
camp life. Quiet and undemonstra
tive, he has always commanded the
respect and esteem of those ac
quainted with him. He was junior
warden of Trinity Episcopal church,
and until his health failed was al
ways in his place at church, attend
ing faithfully both morning and
evening services. He was the kind
of man whom the community will
greatly miss, and will be especially
in home, chu-ch and G. A. R. circles.
He has been in failing health for
about a year, but was a regular at
tendant at church and Grand Army
hall until the last three months.
He leaves an only sister, Mrs.
Bingham, to whom he was greatly
attached and by whom he was great
ly beloved.
"May he rest in peace."
Funeral services were held from
the Episcopal cnurch at 10 o'clock
Tuesday morning. Rev. Lucas offi
ciating. Appropriate music was ren
dered by the choir. A large body of
friends gathered to pay their last re
spects to an esteemed friend and
comrade, the church being filled. An
abundance of floral offerings test!-,
fied to the esteem in which the de
ceased was held. Members of the
G. A. R. and W. R. C. attended in a
body. Interment was made in Moun
tain View cemetery. .
WILL NOT HEM IT FINES.
Columbia River Fishermen Must
Pay for Minor Offences.
Washington. United States Sen
ator Chamberlain has been advised
that the department of commerce
and labor declines to remit the fines
imposed upon fishermen operating
motorboats on the Columbia - for
minor violations of the navigation
laws, such as failure to carry lights,
etc.
The department contends that ac
cidents are liable to occur through
minor infractions of the law, and is
inclined to Inflict the full penalty.

ELEVEN FOREST FIRES.
Thunder Storms Start Conflagra
tions All Over District.
As a result of the thunder storms
recently, eleven forest fires have
been reported throughout the dis
trict. Late Saturday night nine of
these were reported under control
and men were massing to the other
two points.
The storms had no distinct center,
every mountain district having at
least one fire reported. Heavy rains
and in some cases hall have swelled
the streams until they are nearly as
large as just after the spring melt
ing. Discovery Cost $7,000.
Madrid. The cost of the discovery
of America was 7,G00, according to
ledgers just found at Palos, Spain,
containing facts concerning the out
lay made by Christopher Columbus
on his expedition to the New World.
The armament of the fleet cost
J2.800. The personal expenses of
Columbus and his officers amounted
to about $400, and $4,400 wus spent
during the voyage. According to the
ledgers, the crew each received a
monthly wage of $1.25.

2,193 GO FISHING.
Lure of Hills and .Streams Enriches
State Coffers.
The call of the mountain streams
and the pine-Bcented hillsides has
caused 2,195 people to part with the
necessary one dollar to obtain a fish
ing or hunting license that they may
be permitted to follow their inclina
tions. This amount was the record
at the first of July and since that
time it is estimated that 500 more
have followed the call of the wild.
Another 500 is expected before Au
gust 1, when the deer season opens.
The total number of licenses last
year was in excess of 6,000, and
though the present registration is a
little in arrears, the county clerk
deputies assign the cause to the fact
that there nas not been enough
warm weather to cause the citizens
of the different cities to feel the
need of a vacation.
