Obituary.
On the 5 th day of October at Igee,
Grant county, Oregon, the spirit of
Edward W ooley took its departure after
a life of active usefulness at the ripe
old age of 74 years. Mr. W ooley was
the last survivor of the family of that
name who were so well known in this
county for many years. His brother
John preceded him by just two months
to a day passing away at Portland last
August. Their two sisters, Mrs. H en
ry Buxton and Mrs. Jerome Porter
were also very prominent in this coun
ty before their death some years ago.
Mr. W ooley lived for many years on
a ranch near Gales City from where he
removed to Eastern Oregon near his
children at Izee who were with him at
the time of his death which resulted
from a stroke of paralysis. Besides
his three sons and one daughter, there
is a wide circle of friends and relatives
who will be grieved to leam that he
has been taken from among them.
His long life filled with earnest work
and kind deeds have made its influ.
ence felt on all sides.
Pacific Twice Victorious
Pacific’ s football team is starting out
this season taking everything in sight.
The game between Pacific and H . M.
A. on the local field last Saturday was
won by the former by a score of 22 to
0. Yesterday afternoon on Multnomah’ s
field the Columbia eleven met defeat
by Pacific to the tune of 16 to 0.
Although crippled, the locals made
easy work of the Columbia.
Horses Burned to Death.
A bam belonging to John Buchanan,
of Cornelius, was burned last Sunday
morning with its contents, including
three head of horses, 40 tons of hay,
grain and farm machinery. The ori
gin of the fire is thought to be by
tramps. The building and contents
were insured for $900; the loss is esti
mated at $3,000.
