Mr. and Mrs, G. W. Simpson, with
their two little sine, arrived yesterday
afternoon from Chicago, bringing the
body of Mrs. Simpson's mother for

since Mrs. Simpson left Thu Dalles,
where as Miss Alma Bewdey, shu was
one of tho leading young ladies of the
uity, and there is still a large number
who will' remember her well and be
pleased to greet her again! Mr. Simp

Arrangements had beeu completed lor
the funeral of Mrs, M. J. Ueezloy at the
Methodist church this morning, and as
word had been received that two grand
sons of the deceased Fred and Henry
Smith, with their wives had passed
8-Mile on their way from Paulina, it
was supposed they would arrive in time.
However, a short time before the hour
for services, word was received that
on account of the terrible condition
of the roads they could not make it. It
was therefore necessary to postpone ttie
funeral until 10 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing, when it will o;eur ut the place
designated.
Farmers, stockmen and town folks
whu are needing anything in the line of

the well known local agent for the
famous Dalles Nurseries, who iB now
canvassing in Morrow and Grant
counties. Whatever Harry nays iB cor
rect; and when dealing with him you
need fear no practice of deception, as is
sometime the ease with strangers in that
business. He has already secured an
immense lot of good-sized orders in
Heppner this week. Times.
It would certainly seem that some in
dividuals were groping about seeking
whom they "might devour" or what
damage they can do their neighbors.
Such a spirit was evidenced by thu fiends
who Friday night of last week put over
a hundred dollars out of the pocket of
Louiu Connni by their contemptible
I acts. In front of his mat bio works he
has always kept a large number of
tombstones on exhibit, and up till this
time no one has seen fit to disturb them ;
but Saturday lie found one of his most
expensive monuments, in the form of
an angel, thrown out into the stieet,
with the head broken oil' and the stone
otherwise mutilated. Beside this sev
eral other smaller ones suffered a like
fate, until the loss amounted to quite a
sum. Mr. Coinini has no clew to the
.perpetrator of the contemptible act, un
less it was done by a crowd of drunken
men, who were preambulatiug up that
way about midnight. However, he is
on their track, and if he chances to run
across them It is safe to say he will be
inclined not to leave enough of them
over which to place one of the smallest
tombstones they disturbed.

A much larger crowd than usually at
tends such meetings was present at the
citizens' meeting nt the club Saturday
night, when a general discussion of the
scouring mill uuestion took place. A
number of our leading business men,
however, fi'iled to make their appear
ance. Robert Mays was appointed
chairman nnd Frank Menefee was secre
tary. Without an exception all seenif-d
to be in favor of the idea of a scouring
mill, none doubting our need of such a
plant, nor the benefit to be derived
thereby. At the same time it was con
sidered nece8ary that our people have
a more thorough understanding of the
proposition as made by Mr. Russell.
The committee, consisting of Mesers.
Whealdon, Pease and Williams, into
whose hands the matter has been placed,
was therefore instructed to correspond
with the gentleman, ascertaining the
entire details before any move is made
toward soliciting subscriptions. As
soon as this is determined definite steps
will be taken, as it is desired that the
mill be in running order before this
year's wool clip comes in.
Were all our citizens as enthusiastic
as tl e one who taid that night, "I am
ready to subscribe toward anything
which will better the town in general,
whether 1 receive any direct benefit or
not," there would be no difficulty in se
curing a scouring mill or anything elee
needed. And it should be a go.
The Widower anil liuclitilnrx,
Editok Ciinoxici.i: :
1 hope the "old maids" (who are pre
sumably old enough to manage their
own all'uirs) will not think it presump
tion on my part when I oiler a few sug
gestions, and I trust it may ho received
in the spirit in which it is given.
I would suggest that discrimination be
extended to the old bachelors and
widowers. Now it matters not in what
way they discriminate, whether in favor
or against ; t he object being to render
the widowers and bachelors more con
spicuous. While the audience is gay,,
ing upon the once dear creature.", they
would naturally like to see what those
who are the prime cause of the lament
able condition of the "old maids" look
like.
I would suggest that the widowers and
bachelors either be admitted at half
price, charged double price, given re
served seats or huddled oil' to one ori'.er ;
the object being to please and entertain
the audience.
