' 4 The funeral of Gustave Hodes, one of the oldest settlers of Cor vallis, took place on Sunday at 2 o'clock from the undertaking par lors of S. N. Wilkins, Rev. A. Carnck, of the Presbyterian church, officiating. Lrustave Modes was Dorn in Prussia, Germany, on January 123, 1020, where he spent his early youth and apprenticed to a locksmith and gunsmith. After completing his apprenticeship he traveled extensively over Europe, kgypt afld Palestine, returning to his , native town after an ab sence of five years. In 1855 he came to America, making the trip in a sailing ves sel around Cape Horn and arriv ed in San Francisco in 1856. In the spring of the next year he came to Oregon and for a short time made his home in Portland. Alter making a study of the dif- terent sections 01 the state, in August, in the year 1857, he came to Corvallis, of which place he remained a citizen till the day of his death. Mr. Hodes early identified him self with the commercial inter ests of his adopted town. His place of business was burned sev eral times. He originally locat ed across the river, in what was then known as Orleans. The flood of 1 86 1 washed away the building in which he was doing business. Then, with most of the other merchants there, he moved to this side of the river. For 47 years Mr. Hodes has been a prominent figure in Cor vallis business circles. Punctual to a fault, methodical in his I habits, diligent and active, he had attended to his business as regularly as the sun rose and set. For a short time, while the soldiers were stationed at King's Valley, he run a store at Fort Hoskins. This store was destroy ed by fire. E. W. Fisher came to Corvallis in 1857 or about the same time as Mr. Hodes, and the death of the latter leaves him the oldest original business man now in Corvallis.

W. Denman. A brother of the deceased, Wil helm Hodes, is now residing in Germany, and also his sister, Mrs. Louise Weber. ' Another brother, Clement, came to Amer The Short Session.
