W ith ycom b e The death of Governor Withy combe occured at 8:4f> Tuesday evening at his home in Salem. He had been at work almost up to the last minute. Although he had been in failing health for Some months, his death came totally unexpectedly. He was born in England, March 21st. 1854, where his father was a ten ant farmer, and came to this country when 17 years of age, with his parents who settled near Hillsboro in this state. When twenty years of age, he branched out tor himself purchasing a 100 acres of land on time, in Wash ington county. Here he remain ed fifteen years, practicing in addition as a veterinarian, and developed those qualities which made him sought after to assume the directorship of the Oregon Agricultural College at Corvallis. This position he accepted after being urged for two or three years, in 1898. His most notable work has been connected with this institution of which he may be termed one of the fathers. What he did for agricultural and livestock development there, will constitute his most enduring monument. While not a politician he entered the race for governor on the Republican ticket, first against Senator Chamberlain by whom he was defeated, and then later when he was elected, and so well did he serve especially in the matter of war work, that he was nominated to succeed him self at the last election, lie did not electioneer trusting to his re cord as sufficient backing, in which he was not disappointed for he was reelected by a hand some majority. We believe that he is the only governor of the state to succeed himself. His war work u n d e r m i n e d h i s strength, so probably his death may be attributed indirectly to the war. Independent of tarty, hispassingavvay will be universal ly regretted as one who did yeo man service for his state and as a lovable man by his intimate friends. He leaves a widow, a daughter and three sons of his immediate family to mourn his loss. _____________ Thursday, March 6, 1919 “Come in Knock and Leave Your Mallet” THERE ARE ONLY TWO KINDS OF MEN WHO NEVER CHANGE THEIR MINDS! It is now Governor Olcutt, but he will only serve as such until January 1921, and not the full term to which the late Governor was elected. Under the consti tution the secretary of state, in the event of the governor’s death, resignation or inability to serve, only succeeds until the next general election. HE HAS GONE AWAY, . WE HOPE TO STAY; COME FRIENDS BACK AGAIN, THIS IS YOUR GAIN! You can’t hold a good man dowm—we’re back with the same old grin. Come in and look'our stock over. We’re noi closing out—we’re here to stay. T h e V a lu e o f L ent Full Line of Best Staple Groceries The season of Lent is designed for the benefit of men to check them in time and prevent them going to headlong diaster. Lent is the season to take stock of our selves and see whither we are bound on life’s journey. “ Know thyself’’ was the maxim of the ancient philosopher. We men need to know ourselves in order to get the good out of life. We need to know' ourselves so as to know what by nature we are in tended to be and to serve. Are we the creatures of a day? Or of eternity? On the answer to these questions depends t h e course we should pursue. If the former, then “ Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die.’’ But if the latter then higher con siderations than those of the moment are forced upon us. The only wise method to adopt is to head straight for eternity and not take any chances with our course. Lent furnishes us the opportun ity to adjust ourselves if we have been swerving from the true direction. It is an opportunity which if utilized will prove of the greatest value to our welfare. Make the most of it then and learn by experience its inestim able benefits. Life is not meas ured by time but by eternity and many a man, alas, is toiling and sweating to no purpose, because of the ill direction of his efforts. It is to pi event such dismal fail ure that i he observance of Lent is urged, so that the severe pains of this life may be crowned w'ith success.
