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.

“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.

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.
