Alone in the dark, still hours of night, the Angel ol Death called for Mrs. Martha Proctor Sjiencer and she answered with her life. Mrs. Spencer, widow, aged almost GO years. lived in her residence at the southeast corner of First and Oak streets, where she had rosided al mort continuously since her hus band's death, in 1884. She had been imiiortuned by her children time and again to make her home with them, but she chose to be alone, though her son, Oliver, who lives Just across first strset, had got her to so far mod ify her rule that she took her meals with him and his family. On Sua day morning last ho seut across to call mother to breakfast, but the messenger reported that the usual answer was not made. Oliver went himself, knocked at the door and called, but received no answer. He looked about in the fresh snow to see if he could find trace of her leaving the house. Seeing no tracks, he 0(ened the door and went to her bed room, where he found her com posed in bed, but life had departed. Thero was yet some warmth in the body, though the hands were icy cold, from which circumstanco it is thought death occurred in the after part of the night, perhaps near morn ing. Dr. Tamiesie was called and found that death whs due to heart failure. Without a struggle, the de ceased passed away. The author ities considered that an inquest was unnecessary, hence none was held. Tho funeral was on Tuesday after noon from the Evangelical church. Mrs. Spencer was born in Indepen dence, Jackson county, Mo., June 24. 1833, and with her parents mov ed to Holt county, that state, in 1842. She was marritd to James R. Spencer, of Indian, In 1852, and started across the plains the same year. They lived in California, Ore gon and Idaho until 1860, when they settled at Champoeg. In 1872 the family moved to Forest Grove, and a short time afterwards to Cornelius, where Mr. Spencer engaged in the mercantile business. In 1880 a inovo was made to Portland, where Mr. Spencer engaged in the grocery business. In July, 1S8I, Mr. Spenc er wss taken sick with pneumonia, and died on the 26th of that month. Eight chlldrcu were born to the union, seven of whom are living John 11. Spencer, whereabouts on known; Mrs. Laura Guild, Grant's rasa; Mrs. Lily M. Bright, Los Angeles, Cal.; Mrs. Elvira A . Pang burn, Portland; Mrs. Dora B. Hirscb, Portland; Mrs. Flora M. Lyons, Os wego, Or.; O. R. Spencer, this city. I A few weeks ago, when Mr. Funk, of Bloomfield, Illinois, was In Ore gon he talked about the Industry of growing seed corn. The ecmpacy with which ho is connected furms about 2-1,000 acres, raising no gen eral crop except seed corn. Every bushel sold from tho farm is for planting. Of course, there is corn fed to the stock that has to be kept for the betterment of the laud. The company strives to get a perfect corn. A variety that can be d pended upon to produce even one bushel per aero more than an old va riety Is worth selecting, for one bushi 1 per acre means thousands of dollars more to the state, but the company does not stop Ht a single bushel increase, but four or five bushels is harvested from each acre. Attention is not confined to Improv ing the yield, but for some purposes a variety Is sought that will quickly mature. Much has been done In that direction, and corn has been evolved that will rijien in 00 dtiys. This variety ought to do well in Ore gon, for if planted in May It would be ready for harvest in August But the most remarkable varistion that has been secured is a change in the grain itself. lu five years the company has lieen able to increase the protein in corn from 10 j to 15. This remarkable increase almost changes the nature of the grain, it approaches wheat, which contains 10. This is done at the expense of starch and oil that is found in tho natural grain. By another selection starch has been increased from It J to 15 J and oil from 10.C2 to 12.02. But why make these changes? The I Hi uois stockman wants a food that will force his calves, sheep and pigs to grow. He puts his bullocks ou the block at the Hge of two years, hence a food that is rich in protein is want ed to hasten a lean meat growth. When that hns been accomplished, then the young uiiimul is fed a lib eral ration of starchy and oily food to hasten the fat development. There is a hint to the Oregon farmer who has wheat to feed. Force the young stock on a wheat diet, supplemented with clover and vetches, then finish with corn meal and the other staichy and oily foods. Mr. Funk stated that it is a rare thing to see a 4-year old bullock in tho feeding stalls. They cannot afford to keep them till that age is reached. Mr. Funk prac tices what ho preaches. He found a variety of white oats out here that had been grown in a field that yield ed 80 bushels to the acre. He took some home, for while he did not hope to get 80 bushels, yet he thought it probable that the Oregon seed might for a year or two produce five or six bushels more than the seed at home. If this is verified, he is will ing to take his seed every year from Oregou grown oats. It will be prof itable. For stij, good chess hay, seo F, M. lieidel. Fine farms for ea!e dirt cheap by Taos.

Tho first day, Friday January 24th, snow fell in Hillsboro to the depth of ouo and one half Inches. By early evening a sharp north-east wind was blowing which continued all night. The temper ature dropped to about 1C above zero. Saturday was clear and cold, though about 1 p. m. icicles formed from the eaves on the south of roofs. Sunday more snow fell so that by Monday morning the white mantle was about 6 inches thick, Sleighing was fairly good and every kind and class of slipping vehicle was out. Monday and Tuesday were fair, a few clouds in the forenoon but bright sunshine in the afternoon, Snow fell again Wednesday, from one to two iuches, so that by yesterday morning the snow was good honest six inches deep. But the weather had greatly moderated. A thaw without doubt will rule today and within a few hours Oregon will again tie herself. Old settlers do not ap preciate the "glorious frosty weather" of the els-Rocky mountain states, and Indeed our new neighbors who are here for the frst winter talk content edly about the rain which is near at hand. Coming West. The time was when we wanted an extra cultured man for any of our Institutions we went East for him, but time) are changing. Recently the board of regents of the Minnesota State Uni versity wanted a insn for the chair of biology. After looking the coun try over, Prof. Washburn, of the University of Oregon, was taken. Washburn was first employed at the State Agricultural College, but he was got away from that school by the Eugene people, and now they lose him to Minnesota. The in crease of salary haj to do with the change, since the new position brings to Prof. W. $2400 s-r year. Oregon will have to put up with a cheeper man. The Indepkxdkxt expects to have ready for delivery, next week, section and precinct map of the county, together with a description of the boundaries of the precincts and road districts. These will be sold at 10 cents each. The "long-felt-want" of a roller flouring mill at Sherwood is ahout to prove a reality at last, according to reports. Persons well fixed flnan daily uro backing the enterprise and the prospects are very favorable that the mill will be built. The site will bo in the outskirts of towu, near the railroad track. II. H. Eyman and several other parties have recently purchased a steam engine and saws, preparatory to the erection of h Raw mill. A site has been selected two miles south of Sherwood in the midst of a fine body of saw timber, and accessable to both the rail road and farming eommun ity. The output will consist prlncl pally of rail road ties, the firm hav ing accepted a number of contracts. FIRES OF THE WEEK. There were two fire alarms last Saturday and one on Suuday, In deed they were more than alarms, for damage resulted. The first blaze was in an upper sleeping apartment of Mr. I hum! Butler's residence. The brick fiue was defective in that there whs a crevice through the brick and through the outside plastering, so that when a puff of wind went down the chimney, sparks and flume from the early morning fire set tho cloth and paper burning. Mr. James But ler, who occupied an adjoining room, discovered what was doing and was able to get water on before a "good start" was made by the fire. The loss is the chimney and cloth and paper of the room, probably $50, Fully covered by iDsurauce. The second fire was in the S. P. Co. 'a station at about 3 p. in., and was due to a short circuit of. tele graph wires. Tho wires leading to the instruments are small insulated affairs and it is supposed that heavily charged electric light wire fell acros s the telegrapli wire. This probably happened in Portland The slight insulation in the Hllls boro office burned, and there was the blaze. Mr. Beck with lost his lustra ments, his blank reports and dam age to his desk. . Ho prevented fur ther harm by the prompt use of sta tion hose pipe. The loss is about $30 to 110. The Sunday morning flro was at Mrs. Cota's green-house and burned till more damage was done say 1 100. The department was promptly on hand, but, fortunately, its services were not required. The railroad station alarm was promptly remondcd to by the fire companies, and the hurry was wit ness d by a New York insurance man who happened to be here, "I'll see how they work," and away he went with the apparatus. Looking over the township maps of the Tualatin Plains one is apt to speculate as a the cause of the ir regular boundary lines of the dona tion claims. The map is a regular crazy quilt pattern. tKiiug on the ground, however, one can readily understand why "this is thus." The first squatter took his choice, good prairio here, skippiuir brush land there, taking a good grove for tiiu ber, but leaving the scrubby trees and the ground they stood on for the others. Those taking laud later had to squat on what was be tween. All this was doue before the government townships uu section surveys were made, me oniy re striction on the pioneer was that "No Individual shall be allowed to hold a claim of more than one eq'iflre mile or 640 acres ia a sqnure or oblong form, according to the natural situ ation of the premises." I his re stricted the number of corners which a land holder might have, and worked to the inconvenience of BenJ. Catching and liov. Elkanah Walker, of this county. Catching claimed a beautiful tract of laud hard by For est Grove, all prairie, while Mr. Walker, coming ' liter. Snul more timber than seemed desirable. Catch ing soon Haw the need of more tim ber for bis prairie, whort'fore he and Walker proposed a swap, but as the law read, they could not have L's to their claim, since there would be too many corners, nut mcy agn-eo 10 trade when their titles were secured, and did. Catching, In addition, bought 40 acres of timber from Walker. The things happened 60 vears aito. A eonskiertiDie pun oi the Catching prairie has grown up to timber, second growth, while the 40-acre tract of timber has beeu re claimed to plow land. Some years ago G. C. Ritler bought the tract on speculation. The timber cut into cordwood repeid the purehuse price, and then the stumps disippeired, when the tract was created an addi tion to the city of Forest Grove.
