Third Biennial Convention of West
Willamette District Is LargeJy
Attended.
The third biennial convention of
the Christian Endeavor union for the
West Willamette district, embracing
Polk, Yamhill and Washington
pnnnties. wa3 held in Dallas last
Thursday and Friday. A large num
ber of delegates were in attendance,
and a pleasant and profitable meeting
was held. The opening session was
held in the Presbyterian church on
Thursday evening, with Professor
D. M Metzger, dean of Dallas College,
presiding. An excellent sermon was
preached by Rev. J. F. Claycombe, of
McMinnville.
The business session was held in
the Christian church and lasted all
day Friday. Many entertaining and
valuable papers were read, each being
followed by an interesting discussion.
The evening meeting was opened by
an appropriate song service. Rev
W H Boyd, of Forest Grove, preached
one of the most powerful sermons ever
listened to by a Dallas audience. He
took for his subject "God's Man, and
handled it in a masterful manner,
holding the closest attention of the
large congregation throughout the
discourse.
The congregation of the Presbyter
ian church, at their meeting Thurs
day evening, by unanimous vote, ex
tended a call to Rev. W. T. W ardle to
serve as pastor for one year. Rev
Wardle is a very able minister and
the church is fortunate in securing
him. He will soon move to Lebanon
from Dallas. Lebanon Express.
Former Polk County Citizen Passes
Away at California Health Resort
After Brief Illness.
Benton Embree, a former well-
known resident of Polk county, died
at hints, Siskiyou county, California,
Monday, aged 63 years. He had been
in failing health for about two years,
and recently left his home in Harney
county and went to the Siskiyou
mountain resort, hoping to receive
benefit from the waters of the mineral
springs at that place. The nature of
his last illness is not known, the
message merely stating that he was
dead and that owing to poor transpor
tation facilities, it would be impossible
to ship the body to Polk county for
burial. He had no acquaintances at
Hilts, and the whereabouts of his
relatives were ascertained by search
ing through his papers after his death.
Benton Embree, or "Bent," as he
was familiarly called, was the third
son of the late Mr. and Mrs. C. D.
Embree, and had a wide acquaintance
among the early settlers of Polk
county. He was born July 17, 1842,
near Fayette, Howard county,
Missouri. His parents crossed the
plains to Oregon in 1844 and settled in
Polk county, where Bent grew to
manhood. Soon after the close of the
Civil War, he went to Mexico, accom
panied by his brother, Dr. T. V. B.
Embree, and engaged in cotton
raising. Shortly after their arrival,
both young men were stricken with
malarial fever, and, finding it im
possible to regain their health in a
tropical climate, abandoned their
venture and returned to the United
States.
Mr. Embree's next business under
taking was in Eastern Oregon, where
he engaged in cattle raising on a
large scale. In this latter business
he was very successful. In the early
'70s he formed a copartnership with
Wesley White and purchased one of
the best stock ranches in the Wallowa
valley. The firm continued in business
for many years and both members
amassed a competence. Mr. Embree
then retired from active business life
and returned to Polk county. He
resided in Dallas until 1886, and then"!
went to Harney county, where he lived
the remainder of his life, with the ex
ception of a few months' residence in
Idaho. He was never married.
He is survived by three brothers,
Dr. T. V. B., Mark and John Embree,
and two sisters, Mrs. T. J. Hayter and
Mrs. Alice Dempsey, all of Dallas. A
rather remarkable feature in con
nection with his passing away is
found in the fact that his is the first
death to occur in a family of six
children, the oldest of whom is now C9
years of age and the youngest 57. His
father, Cary D. Embree, died in 1900,
at the ripe old age of 94 years, and his
mother, Lucinda Embree, was killed
in an accident 24 years ago at the age
of 75 years.
GOES TO HER REST
Miss Alice McDougal Dies of Con.
sumption at Home of Her Parents
Near Dallas.
Miss Alice McDougal died of con
sumption at the home of her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. E. H. McDougal, on the
old Harris farm east of Dallas, Satur
day morning, at 11 o'clock. Her last
illness was of about nine weeks' dura
tion. Miss McDougal was a school
teacher, and had recently finished a
term of school at Rufus, Sherman
county.
She was born in Clay county, Iowa,
August 21, 1875, and came to Oregon,
following her parents, about seven
years ago. She was a young woman
of rare culture and refinement, and
was kind and cheerful in her ways.
She had many friends, especially
among those engaged in the teaching
profession, and her early death is
deeply mourned. She ia survived by
her parents; one sister, Mrs. F. W.
Treanor, of this city, and three
brothers.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. W. T. Wardle, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church, Monday
afternoon. The burial services in the
Dallas cemetery were largely attended.
Mrs. Edith Riggs, of Dallas, came
up Saturday for a few days visit with
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. W.
Rowell, of the Buss House. Albany
Herald.
Miss Mayme Graves expects to move
to Dallas in a few days, where she
will accept a position as a steno
grapher. McMinnville Reporter.

TO TIE UP HOP CROP
Krebs Bros., of Salem, Are Planning
New Scheme to Keep Up
Price of Hops.
A corporation composed of all the
hopgrowers of Oregon and possibly of
the Pacific Coast is tke latest thing to
be proposed by leading hopgrowers of
this state as a means of self-protection
from manipulation by the "bear" ele
ment. The idea was conceived by
Krebs Bros., of Salem, and was pro
posed to the growers of this and other
Coast States in a circular letter, sent
out last week.
If this organization is effected upon
the basis proposed it will operate to tie
up every bale of the 1905 crop and
place them in the hands of a special
sales committee of the corporation for
disposal, thus forming a gigantic pool
of the 1905 crop, to be held from the
market until such price is offered as
the sales committee or the board of
directors deem enough. The letter
was sent out by the firm of Krebs
Bros., who represent 624 acres of 1905
hops, and are conceded to be the most
extensive growers on the Coast.
The proposition is to form an
organization incorporated under the
laws of this state, and composed of all
growers of hops, of whatever magni
tude. A full set of officers is to be
chosen from among the members,
also a board of directors by the mem
bers, and the board of directors, in
turn, is authorized and directed to
select a sales committee. No grower
engaged in the buying or selling of
hops will be eligible to hold office or
to serve upon either the board of di
rectors or the sales committee. To
form this organization, a meeting of
meeting of the hopgrowers is to be
called In the near future, and the new
corporation, once formed and ready
for business, is to hold meetings on
the first Monday in each month. The
proposition Is still in the embryo stage,
and no steps will be taken toward its
consummation until replies are re
ceived to the letters from a majority
of the growers.
LEWIS WAS A BACHELOR
Yet Many Alleged Descendants Clamor
for Favors at Hands of Pair
Management.
In spite of the fact which recently
has been widely published by Eva
Emery Dye, the historian, and author
of "The Conquest," that Meriwether
Lewis, the explorer, died a bachelor, a
host of people are claiming to be
among his descendants. The cir
cumstance of the Lewis and Clark
Exposition being held to commemorate
the centennial of the exploring expe
dition to the Pacific ocean of which
Meriwether Lewis, with Captain Wil
liam Clark, was commander, is con
sidered to be the cause of this wonder
ful growth of spurious descendants of
the man who helped save Oregon to
the Union and who never had any
children.
The claimants of the Lewis toga are
almost without exception mercenary,
and their wants, as explained by letter
to the Lewis and Clark Exposition
management, are many and varied.
A resident of Hinckley, Utah, wants
to exhibit a cane, which, he says, was
made by Captain Lewis after his re
turn to Virginia. The Hinckley man
says he is a great-grandson of the ex
plorer. Another man, also a great
grandson, says he has the identical
sword with which Lewis slew an
Indian chieftain, and he would like to
sell the sword. A third great-grandson
claims to own the hat which Meri
wether Lewis wore on the memorable
journey across the mountains in 1804-
05, and he, too, would realize revenue
from the sale of tho heirloom.
