16 THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 1915. CHARLES M. FOSTER, ! EXPERT ON EASTERN IS DEAD OREGON Was Pioneer of Baker Coun , ty, Civil Engineer, and Man . of Affairs. 1 Baker. Or., Aug. 26. Charles M. Foster, a. pioneer of Baker county i since 1863, died at his home here this afternoon after an Illness of only a few days. Friday he attended the fu neral of John B. Grisweld, a pioneer business man, who sustained fatal ln ' juries in an auto accident the preced ing Sunday. Charles M. Foster was born in Cale donia, Vt., saining his early education at Montpelier academy. He crossed the plains to Colorado In 1849, later rolng to California. He was In Port land for some time, as chief clerk in the office of Edward R. Geary, su i perlntendent of Indian affairs. In 1863 he located at Auburn, the early day mining center of this section. In 1869 Mr. Foster was married to , Miss Alice Ireland, two sons being born to them, Lynn L. Foster of Los Angeles, Cal., and Harry E. Foster of (southern Oregon. Mr. Foster's first Iwlfe passed away a few years after 'their marriage and In 1882 he wai wedded to Miss Fannie Moore, a daughter. Miss Colleen Foster, of this city being born to them. $ A civil engineer by profession, Mr. Foster probably knew more about the tern Oregon country than any other living man. He many times traversed the whole section on foot, and was for 34 years surveyor of the county, when It comprised not only the present Baker county, but also Union, Grant, Harney and Malheur. He was always i active and in spite of his advanced years had attended to his business every day, last week having moved hia offices to new quarters. As a young man he was active In politics, and was elected the first clerk of Baker county, serving one term. He also held other public offices of trust , and was one of the most respected and highly esteemed of the pioneer resl ' dents of this city. Funeral services will probably be held Saturday from his late home, definite arrangements depending on the time of the arrival of relatives. Halfwav Will Have New Water System Halfway, Or., Aug. 26.

The granges of the Hood River valley are supporting an effort to have the toll road now leading from Hood River to Mount Hood declared a free highway. A large number of tourists coming to Hood River fail to make the trip to Mount Hood when they learn of the toll that it charged by the manage ment of Cloud Cap Inn. Efforts have been made by the man agement of the Inn to have the county court fix toll rates on the road pass ing through the government reserve, but the county court has refused to take a hand in the mattes of establish ing toll rates over government prop erty. The grangers of the Hood River val ley declare that unless the toll rates are abandoned voluntarily by the man agement of the inn, the matter will be taken up with the government. Many people have refused to pay the toll rate, and no effort to collect or prosecute has been made. C N. Sentney of Huchlnson, Kan., wants a divorce on ground that wife Roseburg, Or., Aug. 26. As the re sult of a visit here by Deputy Sealer of Weights and Measures. Hanson, Roseburg citizens are having to call at the local ice plant for their ice. Scales have not been used on ice wagens as required by law, and when the local company was called upon to procure scales or quit delivering ice, they quit the delivery, and they have given no assurances as to when they will comply with the law. As the result of a combination of the two ice plants for this season, there has been no competition and many peo ple feel that the service could be great ly improved.
