DEATH OF
O. F. THOMSON
Well
Known Pioneer of
Butter Creek. ....
O. F. Thomson, one of the old
est and most highly respected
pioneers of Eastern Oregon, died
in Peodleton, Friday forenoon.
Death came as theTesult of a lin
gering illess which bad made him
an invalid for the past year. The
exact nature of his trouble battled
the physicians who attended him.
About a year ago the aged pion
eer was seized with a violent attaok
of hiccoughs, and after that time
his condition gradually grew more
serious nutil hope of his recovery
was despaired of,
Oscar F. Thomson was born in
Howard county, Missouri, ou (No
vember 25, 1830. Accordingly ho
was in his 79th year when he died,
Iu 1850 he removed to California,
and in 18G4. he came to Oregon.
The national government of this
country is probably the largest
buyer of horses and mules in the
United States. In 1908 it pur.
chased about 10,000 head which
were distributed from Alaska td
the Panama canal, Cuba and Por
to Rico, Hawaii, and the Philip
pine islands, and to the forts, navy
dry docks, and army stations scat
tered through every part of the
nation. All of the government
purchases are made by contract,

FATHER'S DES-
" PERATE DEED
Blows Family to Pieces
With Dynamite.
Goaded to desperate frenzy by
continual domestic bickerings, it
is asserted, Bert Garrett, a real
estate agent of Marquam, 18 miles
south of Oregon City, in Clacka
mas county, Saturday morning at
7 o'clock dynamited his home after
having lured his wife and two
daughters into the kitchen, under
neath the floor of which tha blast
was set off.
The dead:
Bert Garrett, who was blown ir
to atoms, portions of hia body be
ing found in a cherry tree 30 feet
from the house.
Mrs.-Bert Garrett, who died an
hour after the explosion occurred,
her lower limbs being blown off.
. Eeaulah, the 5 year-old daugh
ter, portions of whose body were
fouud about the yard.
Lavilla, the 10-year-old daugh
ter, horribly mangled, died soon
after the explosion.
Gladys, the 15-year-old daugh
ter, escaped unhurt by remaining
in bed after her father had vainly
sought to prevail upon her to come
downstairs and join the family at
break fast.
Garrett evidently had intended
to kill himself and family for
three weeks at least. Strychnine
and a shotgun were taken from
him. Evidently the dynamite had
been placed under the kitchen for
several days prior to the explosion.
Bert Garrett was formerly a res
ident of Morrow county, at one
time driving stage between Hepp
ner and Hardman.
He also took up a homestead
near Slocum's mill and sold his
right.
Iu 1901 Garrett married Mrs.
Joyce B. Brown, a widow with two
cbi dren at Hardman.
Mrs. Brown is a sister of Nick
Leathers who resides at Hardman.
Monday morning at Scott's
Mills, near Marquam, the bodies
of Mrs. Garrett and her daughters
were buried. It bad been intend
ed to take the bodies to Hardman,
for interment, bat they had not
been embalmed, and interment at
Scott's Mills was decided upon.
Mrs. Garrett had asked that she
be buried by the side of her first
husband, Brown.

Shun This Habit.
Of all undesirable citrzensabou
the worst is the man who buys
everything he cau through mail
order houses rather than from his
home merchants. In every town
there are some such people. They
exist regardless of how extensive
may be stocks of the local mer
chants and regardless of the prices
charged by the latter. Pendleton
unfortunately has a few "mail or
der" cranks says the East Ore
gonian.
There are people in this town
who foolishly send to Chicago and
elsewhere for articles which they
buy, without seeing them, at pi ices
fully as high, when freight is con
sidered, as they would be charged
at home. This is not good busin
ess on their part. It would be far
better for them to patronize their
home stores. They would then
know exactly what they were get
ting; they would have the mer
chants guarantee back of the
goods and ' in case of dissatisfac
tion the trouble could be readily
adjusted. No such consideration
is ever received from mail order
houses. The man who buys from
a mail order .house takes a chance
of getting something he wants. If
If he gets what he wants all right;
otherwise he is a loser."
Bat aside from the fact that you
can 'get better service from your
home merchants thete are other
reasons why you should give them
the benefit of your trade. The
success of your town depends
more upon the amount of business
done by ycur merchants than up
on anything else. When the mer
chants do well the town (has a
progressive air and there is ad
vancement in every line. . The
merchants pay taxes that support
local institutions; they contribute
to all worthy causes; they assist
new industries and are always
working for the advancement of
the city. In order to do this they
must be patronized. By every
consideration of justice and also
as a matter of common business
policy they are entitled to your
patronage. Down with the mail
