Uncle Joe Reavte passed away at
his home in this city about 2 o'clock,
Wednesday afternoon, of paralysis.
He. had gone up town that morning
in his usual health and returning
about 8 o'clock was stricken when
almost home, and wa3 not able to
speak when he reached home.
Funeral services will be held at
the Presbyterian church Friday at
10' o'clock a. m conducted by Rev.
Samuel Harris.
Uncle Joe Reavis is dead. Those
five words contain a message that
causes genuine sorrow in the hearts
of the people of this city and county.
"Uncle Joe" he was to us all, the
kinship being of the heart, the fa
milar name always spoken In affec
tion and respect.
Uncle Joe received only what le
first gave. No larger heart ever
throbbed In a human breast. Like
Abou Ben Adem, he loved his fellow
man, and made that love manifest
in his dally life. Always kindly
and cheerful, his face was a bene
diction to many weary workers. Did
you ever hear Uncle, Jqe say an un
kind word about anybody?
The chlefe3t among his many, vir
tues was his thoughtfulness the
rarest as well as the choicest gift
that is given man. He always did
the right thing in the right way at
the right time.

confine his operations in connection
with that project to developing this

altlmate destination of the Oregon
Trunk is San Francisco were denied
by Mr. H1U this week, who said:
'All the bul'.dlng the line will do will
De done In Oregon. There is plenty
of room for new feeders in the state
and the mileage which we intend to
add to our system will be confined
to Oregon. We have no Intention of
entering California."

ABOARD A SUBMARINE.

Life aboard a submarine Is not so
unpleasant or dangerous as one might
Imagine, but it Is entirely different

officers and fourteen men. Is selected
from volunteers after a most rigid
medical examination. Service rarely

Begin Track Laying
To North Yakima
From Kennewickj Reporter.
Robe:t E. Strahorn may be as mys
srious as ever but he. is losing no
im-r in building the North Coast
.allroad and at no very distant date
trains will be whizzing through Ken
lewlck on the new Una. The track
aylng machine will be here next
veck and the lading of steel toward
North Yakima will commence. Two
:onsolIdated locomotives to be used
n freight and construction work were
shipped from Spokane this morning
ind are expected to get here tomor
row. The engines were built by the
Vmerlcan Locomotive works of Scha
lectady, N. Y, and are the first to
be used on the new road.
Two of the 12 concrete nlers of the
11-span bridge of the North Coast
across the Columbia river near At
alia have bean raised above tha
water level. Tha bases of the remain
ing piers have been put in posi
tion. Timber work on tha bridge is
expected to begin November 1. The
srade -approaches to the bridge have
been completed.
Work on the North Coast bridges

and Parker Bottom has begun. The
superstructure for the Kiona bridge
s now under way. Piers are being
constructed for tha Parker Bottom
crossing. The grade at the North
oast now extends to Parker Bottom,
12 mile3 south of North Yakima.
JURIES IN ENGLAND.
Thay Get Through Their Work Quickly
and With Little Fuss.
The working of the British Jury sys
tem exhibits a marked contrast with
that of our own. It Is possible that my
experience In British courts was ex
ceptional, but in not a single Instance
did I see a Juror chnllengod or reject
ed. In nil of the courts requiring Ju
ries the necessary number of men
were present, nnd they were sworn In
without question. In the sheriff's dep
uty court In Scotland the presiding
Judge gave notice to the Jury that ho
expected to adjourn the court at 2
o'clock nnd stated that If they could
all remnln until that hour ho would at
once dismiss the men who hnd been
called for a second pnnel. The Jurors
conferred together and decided to re
main till 1 o'clock, whereupon the
Judge notified the other men to appear
at 12:30. The one Jury impaneled for
the morning session rendered six ver
dicts In cases Involving prosecutions
ror thefts, fraud nnd burglnry.
In the court of quarter sessions at
Taunton, England, I saw a single Jury
In one day render eleven verdicts. I
found that it was customary la the
several sorts of court that 1 attended
for the same Jury to net In successive
cases. In no instance did I see a Jury
leave their seats to make up their ver
dict. Usually the Issue before them
was made so plnln that all who gave
attention knew In advance what the
decision would lie. I mode note of an
exceptional InMnnce of delay when the
court was forced to wait nine minutes
for the report of the Jury. In this cose
the Judge who gave the Instructions
was himself In doubt as to what the
verdict ought to be.
A Scottish Jury consists of fifteen
persons, and a majority may render a
verdict. In Englnud the number Is
twelve, and tinnnlmlty Is required. But
I noted no difference as to practical
result In tho two countries. The
twelve men In the English Jury were
as prompt and certain In tbelr action
as were the eight out of fifteen in the
Scottish Jury.-McClure't Magazine.
