The sudden death of Mr. F,ederick SI
mollis, Sr., which occurred on May (ith
at :? o'clock r. t., lfSi, at his home in Eagle
valley, regon. has cast a gloom over a
happy family and a large circle of friends
Mr. Siinoni was a man of splendid phys
ique, ainl to all appearances in perfect
health until only a short time before his
jintimcly death. He wa a man of energy,
doing everything he attempted with his
might. A a busine man he was honcM,
seeking the advantage of none. As a friend
he was faithful and obliging, frank and out
spoken at all times. He held with tenacity
to hjs conviction of right, but when con
vinced of hi error, would gladly yield.
As a husband be was thoughtful and true,
as a father he was positive, but kind. Our
loss is great, but his gain is greater. Mr.
Simonis leaves a wife and family whom we
commend to the sympathy of friends and
the comforter of the sad hearts of the deep
ly bereaved.

The weather is lovely here. Tho
building boom still lasts. The county
assessor has completed his work in
Centralia and now wo know wo have
a population of over seventeen hun
dred people. Six mouths ago wo had
about eight hundred. Very good in
crease for thiw country.
I returned fiom Tucoma, Saturday,
where I went on last Wednesday to
' meet L. JJ. JUnelmrt. Wo put in
three ilnyn working with Tncoma par

it would bo to their advantage to sub
seiibc something to tho Hunt subsidy
! for building the extension of the O. &
, V. T. railroad to (Irande Jtondo valley.
We met witli some encouragement
and considerable discouragement.
There is no question about the busi
ness men wanting tho road, but about
the time the (Jrando Kondu valley
proposition was made to them, Ellens-
burg came in with a similar proposi
tion and I think they virtually rode
our proportion to death with theirs,
I think, howover, tomothing will be
subscribed in Tucoma. The mutter
lin been prosecuted to tho uppoiut
mont of a soliciting committee, but up
to Friday evening 10th inst., nothing
had been done. Coiuinitlofc reported

the Oiled that Walla Walla count v
would bond itself for .$:iO0.(H)0, thus
obviating the necessity of any subsidy
for tho Grando lvonde extension, or
even tho other roads that have their
subsidies raised, istieh liberality is
without a parallel, when a county
bonds herself to build railroads through
an adjoining state. Verily somebody
is at work to defeat the building of the

that line sooner or later. The (). U.

to enable them to kill all tho towns in
