for the highest standurd of public
morale. As a husband he was affec
tionate and as a friend and neighbor
generous and hospitable.
His death was not unexpected, and
yet it comes as a shock, but he was
ready. His affliction of the eyes whioh
had proven a sore trial to him for
months was borne with patience and
resignation. At last total blindness
came, and he felt the end was near, bot
he was not afraid to die.' Death had no
terrors for him. He set his house in
order and departed. We know where
to find him.
The funeral sermon was preached in
Lexington by the presidinz elder, Rev.
H. S. Shangle, of Milton, Oregon, from
Rev. 14:13, in the presence of a Urett
company of relatives and friends.

Good Health
to the
Children
Children especially are fond of dainties,
and the housekeeper must look carefully
to their food.
As good cake can be made only with
good eggs, so also a cake that is health
ful as well as dainty must be raised with
a pure and perfect baking powder.
Royal Baking Powder is indispensable
in the preparation of the highest quality
of food. It imparts that peculiar light
ness, sweetness and flavor noticed in the
finest cake, biscuit, doughnuts, crusts, etc.,
and what is more important, renders the
food wholesome and agreeable to young
and old.

Josiah Stewart Boothby was born
tifar Jamestown, Brown countv, Ohio,
Oct. 24. 1824, and died in Lexington
Oregon. August 17. 1905. He was twice
married, first to Miss Elizabeth Peyton,
Coles county, Illinois, in the year 1845
To this union was born four children,
viz: John C, Thomas J., Sarinantha
and Marv J. Boothby. The last Iwo of
whom have already preceded their
glorified frhr to the better land.
His first wife died February, 1867, in
Coles county. Illinois. He was married
again May 19. 1867, to Miss Susan J.
ate. Coles county. Illinois, with whom
he lived until the day of his death. To
this union were born two children, viz:
Grant and Luella. The latter afterwards
was married to Charles Beymer, Lex
ington, Oregon, and is now deceased.
Th subject of this sketch was con
verted and joined the M. E. church in
Griggpville, Illinois, about the year
1855. Then about six years aiio he
joined the M. E. church, south, in Lex
ington. Oregon, of whiih he remained
a tcithful and consistant member until
his death. He served the church as an
effi ient officer, and the inspiration of
his service will be missed in our coun
cils. During the late civil war he
served as a valient soldier for three
years in defense of the Uuion. In 1895
he wa elected by the citizens of Mor
row countv to rep-epent them in the
eate legislature. This honored trust he
filled with scieptibility to his people
and with great credit to himself.

Following is the report of the United
States Department of Agriculture. Ore
gon section for the week ending Friday,
August 22: '
Liarht showers occurred during the
fore part of the week in the lower nor-
tion of the Willamette valley and in the
northern coast counties. Elsewhere
throughout the state dry weather pre
vailed. The temperatures in western
Oregon averaged about normal, wnile
the weather east of the Cascades
was slightly cooler than usual, especial
ly at night.
The rain somewhat revived vegetation
but as a whole the amounts were too
small to do much good, and gardens,
corn, potatoes and pastures are suffer
ing for want of moisture.
Grain is about all cut and in the
stack. Threshing continues in all sec
tions. The yields in tbe Willamette
valley continue disappointing, but in
the Columbia and Grand Ronde valleys
the returns are. very gratifying. Hops
are making seasonal progress, and
where spraying was thoroughly done
the lice have about disappeared. Corn
is earing and filling nieely and a good
crop is indicated. Stock continues to
lose flesh.
Tlums and some varieties of prunes
are ripe and being gathered. The yield
of most fruits will fall below the aver
age, both in quantity and size. Apples
and pears are small and dropping more
than usual, reaches are plentiful and
of good flavor.
There have been immense crops this
season of hay and all kiuds ot grain in
Baker county. A few days ago I pur
chased several hundred tons of hay and
pasturage, at $3 50 to $4 per ton. I got
the very best sheep bay, and you can
put it down as a certainty that there
will be no shortage of feed this coming
winter and prices will be cheap, as
compa ed with most winters. On the
other hand, we secured excellent prices
for mutton and lambs." Baker City

Pendleton, Or.. Aug. 18. One of the
mot disastrous grain fires that has ever
occurred in this county started in the
field owned by Muir Bros., 12 miles
fiom this city, thiH afternoon, and at a
late hour tonight was still burning
fiercely, and traveling toward the south
west. The loss, as far as could be
learned tonight, had reached $2000.
Should the fire continue its way in the
direction it has assumed, the loss will
amount to many thousands of dollars.
The origin of the fiie is a mystery,
but the flames were first noticed ooming
from h bunkhouae, and before the place
could be reached had gained audi head
way that it was impossible to stop its
destruction. Fifteen hundred sacks of
grain lying in the field were destroyed.
and hundreds of acres of pasture land
weru made bare. The wheat was insured.

one of the most prosperous for stock

head of sheep to the east and others
will ship about 20,000 which will be
used for feeders, while some of them
