Hi. mi i .i tv

early Oregon pioneer died Satur
day morning in this city at the
home of her son G. L. Harpan
bhe was Miss Elizabeth Kaler
before her maraiage, to John
Harphan and was born in Ken
tucky in 1821. Her parents
moved to Missouri during the
early imigration period west and
later to Kansas. While in Kan
sas she met and married Mr.
Harphan and to this union was
born eight children, two of whom
were present at the time of her
tath, G. L. and H. P. Harpan.
She had been ill for several
months and kept growing steadi
ly worse until the end. The
funeral services were preached
in the Kelly church about eight
U-iles from here by Rev. Wood.
She was laid to rest in the Kelly
cemetery whee a large number
of friends gathered to witness
the last sad rites and a deep
feeling of sympathy was shown
t3 the bereaved ones,
Working on Canal
W. B. Keene and J. R. Keep,
of the Clear Lake Irrigation Co.,
were business visitors in Port
land part of the week and made
purchases of supplies, among
them being over 6,000 feet of
pipe, all to be used in the big
project in course of construction.
In last week's issue of the
Times we spoke of the removal
of 9,000 yards of dirt from the
cut they are now working on.
This should have read 29,000
yards and instead of there being
only six miles of ditch completed
from the intake, it should read
nine miles.

Two acres of ground under
cover.,, That's what the plans
of the great building for the
Libby, McNeill & Libby company
call for. Some idea of the build
ing to be erected, is gained by
comparison with other large
buildings of the city. It will be
seven times longer than the city
nan ana more tnan twice as
wide. Three buildings as long
and twice as wide as the main
portion of the new high school
building would not cover as
much ground. Part of the build
ing will be two stories high.
This extra story will be 112 by
132 feet. The total floor space
in the building will be 92,508
square feet.
The peak of the roof will be 34
feet above the concrete floor,
will be four feet attove the rail
road tracks. It will take ap
proximately 11,000 cubic yards
of earth to make the fill on
which the concrete floor will be
laid. The supports for the floor
will be concrete piers resting on
bedrock.
The great structure will be
plainly visible from the North
Bank railroad trains and on the
peak of the building will be an
sign with letters at
least four feet high, which will
proclaim to the traveling public '
the fact The Dalles has one of
the finest canneries on the Pa
cific coast.
" The building will be painted in
the Libby, McNeil & Libby
colors, pearl gray with pure
white trimmings.
Besides the main building, en
gine and boiler rooms, lavatory
and wash rooms, there will be
built a garage and an oil house.
Two tanks for storage oil will
hold 84,000 gallons. There will
be other tanks for naptha, gaso
line and lacquer, the latter being
used to paint the cans to prevent
corroding.
There was considerable activi
ty at the site of the building this
morning. Some of the families
living in the houses there moved
out last week. There are many
more who received notice this
morning to move, and there was
a great hustle and bustle over
preparations. As soon as the
few preliminary arrangements
are made, a great gang of work
men will be started tearing
down the old buildings and clear
ing the ground.
R. B. Wilcox, the construction
engineer, when asked how many
; men would be put to work, stat-
ed'this morning that he could
not tell, but that the number
would probably be more than 150.

DOWN-LOW
The Litchfield Down-Low built for us by the Litchfield
Manufacturing Company and is low enough for easy loading but
high enough to avoid trouble. It has practically the same

Come in and see for yourself that there is nothing experi
