"Uncle Jack" Know ton, a resident of Cottage Grove for forue 'V.i year died Monday morning after a sicklies extending over a period of some two or three years. Porter Davis Knowlton was born September 26, i82G at Chicopoe Falls. Hampden County, Mass. He crossed the plains with an ox tfam in l85o for California, moving to Oregon in 1873. He was married in Yamhill County to Sarah J. Mar ; tin, Jen. 9th, I873, coming to Cot. tage Grove in December of the same year and has resided here ! ever since. i He leaves besides a loving wife, the following childreu: L. D. Knowlton of Portland, Mrs. H. G. Morris of Kugene, Mrs. Fingal Hinds, Mrs. Orvel Knapp H. S. Knowlton and Katie Knowlton of this city, besides many friends. The funeral services were held from the family jtrsidence and were conducted by Rev. J. H. Sharp, as sisted by Rev. C. II. Wallace, both old pioneer comrades, all nearly eighty years old, whose ministra tions were especially tender in that Uncle Jack haa been converted through the mininstrations of Rev. Sharp only a few days before his death. The body was laid to rest in the McFarland cemeterv. Wlllfk.mlt Vavllay Alfalfa Raisins. The Southern .Pacific Company is taking a great interest in fostering the raising of alfalfa throughout tl e valley, and makes the following statement: "After a thorough investigation our company believes that the dairy industry of the Willamette Valley can be made more profitable, and the production greatly increased, through th9 growing of alfalfa. While many attempts have been made in the valley to grow alfalfa, and in some places with commercial success, yet the valley cau hardly be classed as a producer of alfalfa as a crop. Therefore the Southern Pacific Company proposes, in dif ferent parts of the Willamette val ley, to plant 20 or more tracts in alfalfa aud to endeavor to cultivate it successfully. The object to be attained is, first, to determiue under what conditions and in what sections of the valley alfalfa can be grown successfully; and second, to give as wide pub licity as possible to the results at tained, that farmers interested may have the value of our experience where desired. The market for dairy products is practically unlimited so far as Ore gon is concerned, since condeused milk, butter and cheese can now easily be transported for long dis tances. I will call your attention to one home market, a an ex ample, open to Oregon, and that is Alaska. The movement of butter and cheese during the 12 months ending June 30th last from uget Sound to Alaska, amounted to 1, 339,000 pounds. Mr. W. W. Cotton, who has had much practical experience in al falfa culture, is preparing a pam phlet upon this subject." Anyone interested in this subject can get this pamphiet, as well as others that will be issued from time to time, telling the progress of the work in the various parts of the valley, by writing to Paul Shouj), Assistant General Freiht Agent of the S. P. at Portland. Take advantage of this oppor tunity. To th Poopla of Cottug Grova and Vicinity.
