NOT BAD FOR THE DULL SEASON.
There Was a Special Train From
Heppner Bearing a Large
N umber of People.
Never in the history of Morrow
county has tbo death of one its
citizens attracted bo much atten
tioD, as the death of Joseph
Woolory, of lone. Mr. Woolery
waa taken with pneumonia on
Saturday, February 29tb, and
died Thursday morning, March 5
at ex thirty.
T 1 . a
in tne passing ot this man
Morrow county has loBt one pf it
most valuable citizens and th
city of lone has lost the jmain
spirit of the the town.
Ue was a leader in everv move
roent which has for its object the
advancement of the town in which
he lived and for the upbuilding of
the county. He was public spirit
ed and progressive and upon his
shoulders first rested the respon
sible duties of mayor of lone. It
was through his efforts largely
that the town received the bless-
ings of incorporation and at al
times he has been the hub to tho
wheel in all movements for the
betterment of his town.
Mr. Woolery was a native of
Cass county, Missouri, born No
vember 28, 1859. In that county
he grew to manhood and received
such educational discipline as the
public schools afforded, bnt when
the time arrived for him to begin
on his own account the Btruggle of
life he moved to Texas. In that
state and Indian Territory he con
tinued to reside until 1884, which
year is the date of his advent to
Morrow county. For a few years
he worked for Packer & Gleason
in tbeir sawmill, then turned his
attention to stage driving, it fall
ing to his lot to take charge of the
first stage between Heppner and
Monument. Later two years were
devoted to the sheep business in
this and Grant county, then until
1890 he was one of the prosperous
merchants of Hardman. In this
same year he moved to lone, where
nearly all the time since he has
maintained a general merchandise,
hardware and implement store.
In this connection it is pertinent
to remark that during the hard
times and many other instances he
had it mithin his power to confer
a great benefit upon many farmers,
carrying them from year to year
and making it possible for them to
remain on their farms until thn
better days came. Besides his ex
tensive mercantile establishment,
which he had just recently reopen
ed, he was the owner ot an immense
domain of nearly twenty thousand
acres, all within the confines of the
county and the principal part of
which he has brought under the
plow.
Perhaps no other man in the en-
ire iVest has paid out more money
for advertising the county and state
in which he lived than hbs Mr.
Woolery. He has been instrumen-
al in bringing many people to Ore
gon and Morrow county and if ' he
had been favored with a loneer
ease on life it is useless to say that
he had only started to reap the
benefits of what he had sown along
this line. He was a community
builder, one of the largest individ
ual land holders in the state and
the largest individnal taxpayer in
Morrow county. Ue also owned

rai industry have asked that a similar
train carrying Oregon's State Agricultu
ral college experts be run through east
ern Oregon, to demonstrate the possi
bilities of more modern farming meth
ods applied to Oregon soil.
The Palouse tour was a great scccefs,
as a result of the extensive advertising
given freely through the newspapers all
the way from Portland to "pohane and
Walla Walla, and the complete arrange
ments made by the railroad and the
Pullman oollege people. The:e were
Dig crowds awaiting the arrival of the
t ain at nearly everv point visited, and
the farmers who attended the demon
strati n lectures were not idlers but
ea'nest and deeply interested men, who
were eeeking to learn something for the
advancement of the farming industry.
At many places they had arranged re
ceptions and luncheons for I he party of
educators and railroad men.
'I never saw more attentive audiences
at any speaking event," said a Portland
railroad official who returned home last
night. '"It was a great fight to see the
long lines of aheady successful farmers
listening with deep attention to the col
lege men while the latter explained how
summer fallowing is a wantou waste of
land and how diversification of crops
will result in greatly increased profits
and also make fertile lands. Manv cf
the farmers brought their boys, and
these voting minds took in a vast amount
of valuable knowledge from the demon
strations. At sunset, where the former O. R. ci
N. agency is closed for lack of business,
the arrival of the train was awaited hv
about 100 farmers, who had built a big
bonfire and were keeping themselves
warm, the hour scheduled tor that poin1
being 7 o'clock p. m. Darkness was
falling, and the train was to atop here
only 10 minutes, but so large waa the
attendance and so thoroughly interested
the audience hat ha'f an hour was given
to this stop. During the tour hundreds
ot questions were asked by the iarmers,
and all were given intelligent answers."
