as chairman of the committe appointed
to report plans o f operation to the

Mrs. DeSpain reported
the most feasible plan to be that of
securing the piece o f land north o f the
depot and laying this out in small
plots, one for each pupil, where the
pupils would receive instructions once
s week from some experienced sgri-
culturist, and that the pupiis be urged
to carry out at home on a larger scale
the work done on the small plots. It
was suggested that on account o f the
ground being right at the depot pas
sengers on all trains would notice the
work being done and advertise Cottage

James F. W eger, a well-to-do resi
dent o f Spokane, while on the way to
the train Monday forenoon, fe ll dead
o f heart failure. He had stepped into
the Fushion Stables to speak to a
friend. Not finding th% party there,
he sat down to wait and in a few
momenta fell over dead. Medical as
sistance was immediately called, but
there was nothing that could be done.
Mr. and Mrs. W eger had spent the
winter at Los Angeles and had stopped
off here on the return trip to visit Mr.
W eger cousin, Mrs. James Sears.
A chapter and prayer service for the
dead w h h held at the Sears' homej Mon
day evening. Rev. Robt. Suteliff offici
ating.
The body was shipped to Spokane
Tueaday for burial, accompanied by
Mrs. Weger.
Mr. W eger was (>f> years o f age. He
was a form er reaident o f Linn county,
but had been living at Spokane for
nome time, where he waa a retired
farmer. He had gone to Los Angeles
on account o f sickness and thought he
hadregained his lost health.
It is to t o expected that the liquor
forces and those who like their drink
will oppose the local option law, but
for opposition to come from such men
as Hon. E. Chafin, ex-candidate o f the
Prohibition party for president, is
rather strange and startling. With
great emphasis Mr. Chafin denounces
the local option law as unrighteous,
unwise and inefficient. He will uphold
his side o f the question in a debate at
Armory Saturday. April fith, with
the J. Frank Burke o f Portland, who
believes very differently. He main
tains that local option is righteous,
wise and efficient in its aim to elim i
nate the liquor traffic. In other words,
that a man can be a consistent enemy
o f the saloon and liquor traffic in gen
eral and vote the old party tickets.
This is one o f a series o f debates
which have been arranged to be heki
in about thirty towns in Oregon be
tween Mr. Chafin and Mr. Burke to
discuss the merits and demerits o f the
local option law. Both gentlemen are
very able speakers and a warm contest
is expected.
