Gordon Meets Tragic Death — . This community w a s greatly shocked Thursday morning to learn that Frank Gordon, the hardware merchant, had early the ! previous evening been drowned in ; a deep pool at Rippling Waters. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon, Hazel Stockman and Eddie Morton had driven to Rippling Waters for a short outing. They h a d gone swimming, Mr. Gordon, having gone into the water, sank almost immediately and did not come to the surface even once. The ex planation of this is that he died probably not from drowning but because of heart failure. Archie Bryaut, who happened to be up the stream a little way, heard the shouting and hurried to the spot. The body could have been in the water not more than half an hour. It was brought to the surface a n d to the bank through the effective and praise worthy work of Will Harrison and Harold Sappington. The hurried and persistent use of the pulma tor, securied at the substation, failed to resuscitate and Mrs. Gor don and those who stood by were presently convinced that the life of our well known fellow-towns man had left the body of clay. At this writing, Thursday, 2 p. m , the body is at the Buxton undertaking establishment. Ar rangements for the funeral have not been completed, awaiting the arrival of the Rev. Mr. Gordon, brother of the deceased, who lives in Astoria. The funeral will prob ably be held at the Methodist church. It goes without saying that the deep sympathy of the community goes out to Mrs. Gordon, to the father and mother, and to the other relatives. Better vision Glasses. mones.

L Cady was in Cali fornia four years ago he visited Luther Burbank, the plant wizard, Mr. Burbank showed him a pit* less prune, which he had pro duced b y cross breeding. Mr. Cady bought one of the trees and set it out on his lots here The tree bore fruit for the first time this year. The prunes are quite without pits, except that on one side of the little kernel there is the vestage of hardness resem bling the substance of a pit-wall. The prunes are delicious in flavor, but are a little smaller than the average of Italian prunes. This may be accounted for by the fact that the tree stands much in the shade. One curious fact is that at least one li mb cut from the tree and stuck into the ground is growing F o r o n ly 55c 2 Y ea rs o n ly 95c Mrs. Richards’ Novelty Shop.
