BEN BROWN DIES OF HEART
DISEASE AT HIS ISLAND
CITY HOME.
Ben Brown, the first permanent
Jettler of Grande Ronde valley, died
U his home in Is'and City at a
quarter to 9 o'clock Sunday night,
September 12, 1109. Heart trouble
was the cause of his demise. All
.he members of the family except the
nvalid wife were away from home
it the time. Mr. Erown had gone to
the phone to sutr.mon a doctor and
e fell from the instrument to the
loor and was found dead by his
daughter on her return from a
ihort visit to the home of her sister,
jut a few blocks away.
Ben Brown was the first settler
n this valley, sajs the La Grande
Star, and t.e builder of the
irst place of a'oie. He has lived
lere continuously since he first came
to the valley in t'-.e fall of 1861. He
was perhaps more widely acquainted
.n eastern Oregon than any othar
man in this section.
He leaves a dfe and five daugh
ters, all of whom are residents of
:he valley. The daughters are: Mrs.
Hettie Ellsworth of La Grande, Mrs.
I. J. Conley of Cove, Mrs. Ada Wal
ters, Mrs. James Garlty and Mlns
Fanny Erown o Island City.
This is- the f rst death to occur i
ti the family. Kn. Brown has been
an inva'id the greater part of the
past two years. She is about two
years the sen'or of her husband.
They celebrated their golden wel
ding four yeirs aio. "
Mr. Brown was born in the bor
ough of Yorks'.iire, E.igland, January
18, 1831, and therefore lacked but a
few months of being 79 years old at
the time of his death.
- Funeial was held from the family
home at Island City, Tuesday aftar-
noon, services being conducted at the
church by Rev. Upton H. Gibbs,
rector of St. Pe ers Episcopal church

SUPPORTS BALLINGER IN LAT
TER'S WAR AGAINST CON
SERVATION. Washington, Sept. 16. President
Taft's declara'ion supporting BalUn
ger and criticising Pinchot insures a
continuation cf the fight for Roose
velt policies to the bitter end. The
discharge of Glavij means the lat
ter's charges will be given to the
public and the nation's verdict as
to their validity wl 1 result.
The belief prevails among the fol
lowers of Pinchot that Mr. Taft's dec
laration sign Ha a Lreak between the
Rooseveltites and the administration,
as it is well knon that Balllnger ou-
poses the Roosevelt ilea of conser
vation. The Roosevelt pnnttnirpnr

leal rather than a moral view of the
Balllnger controversy.
