DEATH RECORD.
From Milton Eagle
Having reached t'ie ripe old a?e
of 83 years. Rev. Jacob P. Hastings
another of the early pioneers of the
Walla Walla valley and one of the
first men to prja-;h in this part of
the Northwest, passed to his eterna;
rest at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. Rebecca Arthur, in Starbuck
on last Tuesday. o IJagerlng
illness marked the last days of this
pioneer, for death by senile deca."
came as a sweet relief from the
care3 of a life full of self sacrifice
and devotion to the cause of doing
gool for others."
For more than half a centur
deceased was a minister In the
Chns'lan church, and although never
occupying the Milton church as a
regular appointee, he frequently
3 poke in this city, where he wa3
always greeted by a large audiencs
of sympathetic and interested
hearers.
Mr. Hastings was born in Lan
caster county, Pe insylvania, February
1826, where he spent the fir3t. few
years of his life. When a young
man he moved with his parents to
Ohio, but aiter a few years' residence
in that state the family again moved,
thU time to Iowa. Hera both his
parents diei and wera burled, while
their son was yet a mere youth.
When 25 years old Mr. Hastings
was married to Martha N. Graham,
the couple moved shortly after their
union from Iowa to Missouri. Here
they lived until the year 1862 when
they moved to the Wralla . Walla
valley and settled near Valley chapel,
near the sta'e Una. On the trip
acrosi the 'plains they encountered
the usual hardships and difficulties
which so Inevitably followed the
steps of the early pianesrs.
After residing at Valley Chapel foi
10 years, during which time Rav.
Hastings orten preached to the few
settlers who then resided in this vl
clnlty, the family moved to Garfield
county, where the head of the fam
ily homea'eaed a piece of govern
ment land. In the yeir 1890 the Has
tings family came to Milton and set
tlel on the property In South Milton
which now bears Its name. In 1900
Mrs. Hastings died and was buriad

To Mr. and Mrs. Hastings were
born 12 children, all of whom, with
the exception of four who died in in
fancy and one daughter, Mrs. W. W.
Morri3, who died In 1894, are now liv
ing. They ars Enoch G. Hastings of
Central Ferry, Wash.; Ephraham D.
.lasiins, of Milton, and Mrs. A.
Morse, of Milton; Mrs. Martha Hud
son, also of Milton; Mrs. Emma
Hudon of Enterprise, Mrs. Artie
Wilson of Enterprise, and Mrs. Re
becca Arthur, of Starbuck. Besides
these there are 39 grandchildren and
several great grandchildren.
The remains were brought to Mil
ton Thursday afternoon. Funeral ser
vices being held at the Christian
church at 2 o'clock Saturday after
noon, Elder C. H. Hilton, officiating.
Interment took place in the family
plot in the City cemetery, where the
deceased was laid to rest by the side
of hi3 wife
Rev. Hastings filed on a homestead
five mile3 northwest of Enterprise,
April 23, 1901, and after living on
it five years moved to town and re
sided here a year.
During the spring every one would
be benefitted by taking Foley's Kid
ney Remedy. It furnishes a needed
tonic to the kidneys after the extra
strain of winter, and it purifies the
blood by stimulating the kidneys, and
;a sing them to e'iminate the Impur
ities from it. Foley's Kidney Rem
edy imparts new life and vigor.

Held. 3CHOOL LAWS PASSED
BY LAST LEGISLATURE
Several bills relating to the public
schools were passed at the recent
legislative ssssion, the most import
ant one increasing the ' minimum
school yeir to six months, and
another providing for an apportion
ment of $100 to each district before
the per capita distribution Is made.
Tlie present first apportionment Is
550. The change favors the small
listricts. The fol'owlng is a, summary
if new school laws:
First, the Hawley bill: Every dls
frict in the state must maintain at
least six months of school each year.
V county court of each county must
3vy a tax for school purposes that
will produce an amount which will
aggregate at least J7 for each child
chool age (4 to 20 years). If a
district's share of this sum does not
amount to $300 (six months at $50
ier month) then county court must
evy upon the property of such dls
'.rict, a speiial tax large enough to
produce the difference between 'such
lstrict apportionment of the county
fund and $300; provided that such
-.pedal levy does not exceed the
Vmill tax. If the district's share of
'.he county school fund and the
imount raised by a 6-mlll tax(speclal
school tax) doas not amount to
300, then the county court must
ransfer from the general county
fund to the special fund for such
listrlct an amount that will equal the
ilfference.
Second, the Ph'.lpott bill: This bill
nakes a change in the manner of
apportioning the county and state
school funds. As the law now Is, the
county superintendent apportions the
noney by first giving to each district
150 and then distributing the balance
iccordlng to the number, of pupils in
Jich district. This bill provides that
He county school superintendent
'hall first give to each district $100
and then distribute the balance accor-
ing to the number of children In
nch district.
Third, the bill introduced by the
Lane county delegation, providing for
i county high school fund. This bill
rovide3 that a county at a' general
jiecLion may vote upon the question
of creating a county high school fund
When such fund has been created It
Is placed under the control of a
county high schoal board, consisting
t members of the county court, the
treasurer and the county school
superintendent. Every high school
in such a county that maintains a
school up to the standard prescribed
by the State Boird of Education is
entitled to receive tuition from this
fund for all pupils attending such
high school. The basis of the dlstribj
tloa Is the average dally attendance
luring the school year. A high school
shall receive not le3s than $40 per
pupil for the first 20 and $12 per
pupil for all the remaining pupils,
provided that tbe total paid any dis
trict shall not exceed the amount
paid by the district to the high
school teachers.
Fourth, the Dodd bill: Gives the
mcke a partial apportionment of the
money to any district upon the
request of the board of directors of
such district.
Fifth, the Cole bill: Declares un
lawful any secret societies, including
fraternities and sororities, which may
now or hereafter exist In any of the
public schools of this state. Including
high schools. It makes It the duty
of each school board in the state to
examine Into the condition of all
schools under its charge and to sup-
ress all secret societies therein. The
act does not apply to the Oregon

Sixth, the Mc Arthur bill: The gov
ernor shall appoint by the first Mon
day in July, 1909, a board of five
members, called the board of Higher
Curricula. The members shall serve
without pay, except traveling expen
ses. This board shall first meet on
the first Monday in July 1909. The
duty of the board shall be to deter
mine what course of studies of de
partments shall not be duplicated In
the higher educa'lonal institutions of
Oregon. The secretary of the board
shall keep a record of such determin
ation and shall notify the governor
and the secretaries of the several
boards of the higher institutions of
such determination. It shall be the
duty of each institution to conform
thereto. Any changes that are made'
shall become effective at the begin
ning of the school year following
juch determination. It provides that
the board of Higher Curricula shall
visit each of these institutions and
that the board of each separate insti
tution shall have a hearing before
"he board of Higher Curricula rela
tive to any changes that may be con
templated. Seventh, the Farrell bill: This bill
affects school houses by providing
that the outside doors and qther ex
Its of all school buildings shall be
swung and hinged that they shall
open outward. These changes must
be made within six months after this
act takes effect.
