A Word of Explanation.
I see in hist week's issue of tho Kastorn
Oregon Republican a littlo comment on
the construction of tho Wallowa bridge, in
which comment they seem to want to lay
particular blame on me for the failure of
the builders to place corbies on the abut
ments under the bridge. Now if there is
any fault anywhere aside from the buildors
It Is in the imperfection of the specifications
in the contract. I contended with tho fore
man of tho bridge carpenters that thero
should bo good corbies placo.l on these
abutments, and ho wrote to Hoffman A:
Bates ami their instructions to him was to
do the work aocordlug to the contract and
no more. I was sunt there to superintend
tho work and see that the contract was
complied with, and I could not enforce
that which was not in the contract. Thero
were men there, both from this county and
Wallowa, during the construction of tho
nhntiiiPiits. und thev all agiood with mo
that it wjs as good work as they ever saw,
except it was of cut stone which is a differ
ent class of masourv entirely. 1 don't look
at it as being carelessness on my part nor
any fault of mine whatever J. J. Oiau:.

Tho transition from long, l;ngering and
painful ilekness to robust health marks an

At tho funeral of Mrs. Jenc'lu Carr
McComas, which took t laco from tho resi
dence of S. A. Purse! on th" 2'Hh till., Prof.
J. L. C irler read tho fnl'owiu composition
which had been written by E. S. McComas
some three years ago, at the request of his
sisters who at that timo thought tho death
of their mother was close at hand:
Sisters, liftithrr and Fi-lfiiln:iU a sad
task that loving sisters have requested mo
to perform to pen some thoughts suitable
for this mournful occasion. But as the
mildew of linns slowly but surely settles

As to whether It be a truth that "bright

man can only give the result of calm ami

If It is in the economy of the universe
that we hare n continued existence, that
thU is not ail thnrc is of us. and we pass
from a comparatively crude state to one
more subtle and rctined, from ntdimentul
transitory, imperfect life, to one more ul
timate, permanent and beautiful, we as
suredly hare nothing to fear.
If we Rave a continued being and the
spirit of our sainted mother is now holding
communion with our noble father, sister
and brother, we should weep tears of joy
m the r than serrow. If on the other hum!
she has but fallen iuto a quiet, peaceful,
drcamlers sleep which knows no waking,
she Is at least free from all pain, anguWh,
care and anxiety ; her troubles of life arc
over. You inav each have your individual
opinion made up from individual cxperi
enc's, as I have mine, whiclu ver is correct,
it is all Tight with the dear one elepartod:
one more loved form has parsed nwny.
One more tired body gone to rest,
And hands that did life's duties well,
Arc folded on an honest breast.'

Jennctta Curr was born in Adams coun
ty, Ohio, February it, 1U, and was mar
ried to John Mc 'onus Feb. 181, lSii, near
the place of her birth. She was the mother
of eight children, four bovs and four girls.
Her two oldest children, Harriet and
Evans, were born in Ohio; Esther, Mary,
Samilel nnriJJohn weio born i:i Indiana,
and Alice and William in Iowa. Sho had
three grandchildren born In Iowa, four In
Kamns ant? six In Oregon. Of this num
ber four havo passed mi before her. She
was the last of Pi-Jflit brothers ami sisters.
a id in every respect one of tho -pioneer
mothers whose lives have bueomo a part of
the essential history of our country. How
vividly my thoughts carry me back to the
little old log cabin on the bleak prairies of
Indiana, when our father delayed In his
long journey to the timber for the good
hickory wood, or in marketing tho corn,
caused her to bar tho door as the dismal
howl of tho wolves drow nearer and near
er. How Harriet and 1 watched hor face
to instinctively rend hor thoughts, and
how noble and brave she now appears to
me as I recall the calm heroism that always
seemed to oomo to her support in the lone
some) vigils that dire necessity imposed
upon her. After pioneer life in Illinois,
Indiana and Iowa, Industry and economy
brought their reward In a comfortable home
and surroundings. And then it was that
the noble haracte: of mother to us, "Aunt
Jenette" to others, was most conspicuous.
In oarly life she joined the Christian de
nomination of religionists as did her de
voted companion. But as sho reasoned and
as age came creeping upon her the theories
ot endless torment, and vicarious atone
ment, regeneration and resurrection of the
mortal body, were discardedius butj the
nightmare of gross superstition and scarce
ly pardonable cupidity, and she settled
down into u calm, conlident hope that
"There is no doath ! 'lis but a newer life,
The cutting of n cord by nature's knife,
Tho breaking of a chain that holds us down,
Tho opening o" a cage tho prisoner is
flown.''
Twonty-ono years ago, tho i!7ih Inst., her
noblo companion was luid lo rest in Iowa,
and tho year uftciw.ird Samuel found a
gravo among strange ri i i the mountains of
Nevada, and since 1&78 H irrlot has reposed
peacefully by tho side of our father. In
lSTU.'Oiir mother's health being seriously
impaired by the trials and responsibilities
that surrounded her, nt our urgent solici
tation sho undertook the long and tiresome
stage ildo from Kelton to ha Grande and
ulthough an invalid she bore up like a Spar
tan mother uiulor the trying ordeal. This
change, I am co-illdent, !eiigthoiietl;hcr pres
ence with us a number of years, and now
that tho tiniu has coma when tho well
ripened fruit must lull to the earth, goutly
draw tho folds of hor drapery around her
and consign ho." to her narrow home that
nature has decreed should be ollored alike
to oarth's most exalted as mint humble.
"Life's battles fought,
Its viotorles won,
lis worn oiitwrought,
IU labors done.
'No toil, no pain,
Thou'lt then endure,
Then why complain?
Best cometh sure.''
