The following account of the death of
a farmer well known In Astoria is takei
from the True Voice of Omaha, Neb.i
Jaime Ferry me of the earHjjsj;
Cutholio pioneer of Omatfa, died at the
home of his son-in-law, John Rush, taut
Thureday evening. Mr, "erry was .80
years of aje. but up to a few months
nj(0 wa apparently titmg and hearty.
The funeral wa held from St, Pat
ricks church Sutnnlay nKirning and wa
largely attended. Father Smith cele
brated Requiem High Mas and Rev.
P. F. McCarthy, who had known the
deccaed for many year gave the taut
abnolution and preached the sermon.
Father Sternum of the Cathedral per
formed the lat rtlc of the Church at
Holy Kepiilehre cemetery, where Inter
ment took place. The pall bearers were;
Mer. Jame Leary, Kdward Caceidy,
Andrew Furay. Patrick McArdle, Thos.
Swift and J. B. Callahan.
Jame Ferry was born in King's
county, Ireland, in 1820. During hi
early manhood he moved to the county
of Donegal, where lie married MU
Mrret Donnelly. In 1849 he came to
the United State, bringing with him
hi wife and three mnali children the
youngest of whom Annie E, then nine
month old became subsequently the
wife of John Ruih.
After five year epent in Pennsylvana
working at hi trade a a atone maon.
he atarted weat with hi family arriv
ing in Omaha early in the aummer of
1R54. Here he lived untiL 1857, The
family waa one of the few Catholiut
then In this territory. Mr. Ferry helpeh
to erect the old St. Mary' church at
FJghth and Howard street, the flrxt
Catholic church, and probably the first
church building of any denomination in
Omaha. In 1853 he in partnership with
an F.ngllhman named Jenkin, laid th
foundation for the old state capitol
where the high school building now
itands. In 1857 the family moved out
from Omaha to a farm near what is
now the village of Elkhorn,- There he
lived until 1803 when the family re
moved to Boine City, Idaho. It is re
lated In the History of Nebraska, that
More leaving hi farm he made every
effort to sell the 320 acre for $200,
but there was no one to buy it. Today
the farm i worth at lcat $30,000.
In 1875 the family returned again to
Dougla county to remain until 1875
when they again eroded the plains to
Oregon. Mr. Ferry settled at Astoria,
where he resided until the death of his
wife In 1889, when he returned again to
Omaha. Since that time he had made
hi home with hi daughter, Mrs. Rush
in St. Patrick's Parish.
Mr. Ferry may lie said to be one ol
the founders of Omaha. ' A daughter,
Margaret, born during his first yenr's
residence, was probably the first white
child born within the future city. He
was a type of the hardy pioneer, who
never forjjot hi religion during tlw
hardships of the early days. May he
rest in pence!
Mr. Ferry leave three grand daugh
ters in this city, Mrs. C. E. Foster, Mrs.
J. A. Leahy, and Mrs, Florence Oilmoro,
and two great grand children; the two
sons of Chief Engineer Foster.
Always Up-to-Date. Mrs. M. Tetcr
sen, Astoria's up-to-date milliner, left
for the East last evening, where she will

DEATH OF WINIFRED
GRIM
FOUR TEAR OLD DAUGHTER OF
IREV. W, S. GRIM, FORMERLY
OF THIS CITY, DDIS OF CHOLERA
, INFANTUM AT DELTA, COLO.
On Tuesdav. Aumist 14. 1906. iust as
the gray dawn of morning wa chasing
away the darkness and gloom of night,
the lamp went out in the life of Julia
Winifred Grim, the little 4-year-old
daughter of Pv. and Mrs, W. S. Grim
of the M. E. parsonage. The little girl
had been a patient sufferer for about
two week with an attack of cholera
infantum and little hope was held out
for her recovery right from the start.
Five different physicians saw the little
one and nil were of the same opinion,
that the disease had such a grasp upon
the little girl that it would not yield
to treatment, and after two weeks of
suffering the little spirit was released at
4:30 o'clock last Tuesday morning. A
brief service was held at the family
residence at 2 o'clock Wednesday after
noon, and the remains placed aboard
the evening train and conveyed to Port
land, Ore., for interment.
Julia Winifred was born in Oregon
City, on August 21, 1002, and with her
parents and 10-year-old brother remov
ed to Delta from Astoria, Ore., only
two months since. About four weeks
ago she had the misfortune of a fall
breaking her arm, but prior to that
time she had been a healthy, robust
child. Rev. and Mrs. Grim feel deeply
their great loss, and a host of new made
Delta county friends sympathize with
them in their Bad bereavement Delta

The Record Regatta. Surely and
quietly the work of preparing for the
great regatta goes forward, daily, and
successfully. All the sub-committees
are busily engaged with the depart
mental work, and the main committee
is over-seeing and directing the larger
elements of the program. The staffs of
Queen Esther and of Admiral Kuettner
are being organized from the ranks of
Astoria's best entertainers and jolliest
people; the press committee is arrang
ing and sending out the necessary invi
tations and regatta data, and the big
program will soon be heralded to the
world, and will offer some of the
brightest and liveliest events known to
such festivals. It is to be a record
breaking regatta and as such, the people
of Astoria and the guests of the sea
son, may look forward to a happy semi
week at the close of the present month.

, INTERESTING FIND DEVELOPED IN
THE OREGON HISTORICAL SO
CIETTS QUARTERLY ON THIS
IMPORTANT QUESTION.
A friend at the elbow of the city
editor of the Astorian yesterday handed
in the following interesting and perti
nent suggestions in connection with the
legally mooted question of the exact
status of the Oregon-Washington boun
daries on the Columbia, which will be
read with pleasant concern by all, and
might have eventuated a a link in the
chain of testimony submitted in the
matter closed and sent on to Wash
ington for final adjustment:
Tn 1840, Johnson and William H,
Winter published a description of the
route across the Rocky 'Mountains, and
of Oregon, in 1843; and the work U
being reprinted in the Quarterly of the
Oregon Historical Society. From page
176, of the June Quarterly, just is
sued, the following statements are tak
en, which are of interest in the consid
eration of the river-boundaries of the
States of Oregon and Washington, ani
in the matter of the improvement of the
harbor of Astoria:
"A few miles below thia Pillar (rock)
the river is 15 miles wide, and the chan
nel, leaving the north side, bears across.

"'There are, on the bar at Tongua
Point, only three fathtoma of water,
while on the bar at the mouth, there
are five.'"
, " The channel carries around close to
the foot of the rock (Cape Disappoint
ment) 80 that it has entire command of
that entrance of the river
when vessels have accomplished an en
trance they find & safe harbor and good
anchorage in Baker's Bay just within
Cape Disappointment, and farther upy
above, below, and opposite Astoria, in
the main channel of the river.'"
