J. D. Rockefeller gives another $100,

sions buildings, but up to date it has
not been accepted by the board. Prof.
Scott, of the Chicago Theological Semi
nary, says he does not believe the Lord
wants "robbery for burnt offerings," or
"the price of a dog," to enter his treas
ury. If Rockefeller really wants to do
something good he might take a few
cents off the price of oil, and then the
ioor people would be benefited. But,

again, and a noU h or two higher than

A Vancouver dispatch to the Portland

pruncgrower residing near Hockinson
states that the prune crop in that vicin

stel states that the buds bsve all turned

been killed. The weather last week in
the eastern part of the county was much
coMer than in the fruit valley and it is
thought there is still a chance of a fair
ly good crop in that distiict. The cli
mate east and north of Hockinson attorns
to be changing lately, freezing weather
being something rarely known up to
three years ago. Since then the prunes
uave ueen ruined ny coii snaps each
yearns late as April and May. This baa
caused several growers to discontinue
the raising of prunes.

GOLDEN WEDDING.
Mr.
and Mrs. W. R. Barrett Cele
brate the Happy Event.
Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Barrett celebrat
ed their golden wedding Tuesday at their
home in this city, and it was one ol the
happeet gatherings that has met in this
place for many a day. Mrs. Barrett had
arranged to do her weekly ironing, with
no thought of any demonstration!! the
part of her relatives, though her thoughts
were undoubtedly turned to the event of
fifty years ago and a pleasant smile fol
lowed the iron aa it passed briskly to and
iro over the garment she waa ironing
Her attention waa attracted by a knock
at the door and in an instant thereafter
she waa surrounded by a group of rela
tivea who told her that they had come
to celebrate. But said "Grandma Bar
rett," "I havn't a thing cooked up." and
a look of distress settled on tier face, to
be quickly replaced by one of joy and
astonishment as the guests placed bas
ket after basket, loaded with good things
upon the table.
Mr. W. K. Barrett was horn in Ham
ilton county, Ohio, April 27, 1831, and
came to Oregou via the iathmaa in 1K54.
Mrs. Barrett a maiden name waa Eliza
J. Purdin, and she was born in Boone
county, Missouri, July 3, 18:i'S, and came
to Oregon with her parents in 1H54, via
the isthmaa. The two journeyed to-
S ether on that long trip by rail and boat,
ut did not become acquainted until
they met near the town now known aa
Greenville, where both families had lo
cated, and they were married April 11,
1H.V), a Rev. Geo. Berry performing the
ceremony which has resulted in a happy
wedded hie to both tor hall a century
1 hey located on a donation claim near
Greenville, where they lived for a num
ber of yeara, Mr. Barrett working at the
carpenter a trade as well aa on the farm.
He served in the Yakima Indian war,
spent some time in the mines in Idaho,
after which he engaged in farming until
he and his wife moved to Hillsboro in
l!tt.
They have the following children, all
of whom attended the celebration, ex
cepting Mrs. Anna Parish, of ilbur,
Washington: Attorney W. N. Barrett,
Hillsboro; Mrs. Alice Dooley, Green
ville; Mrs. Aman-'a Purdin, Hillxboro;
Miss Deborah 1 (arret t, Hillsboro; Airs.
Anna Parish, Wilbur, Wash., and Chas.
F. Barrett, Greenville. Hon. Ira Pur
din, of Forest Grove, is Mrs. Barrett's
only living brother, lie was unable to
he present on account ot the serious ill
ness of his daughter. Mrs. B. P. Cor
nelius, of this city, is Mrs. Barrett's sis
ter. Those present were: B. 1. Cor
nelius and wife, W. N. Barrett and wife,
Will Barrett, Jr., Fred Cornelius, Miss
F.va Cornelius, Hugh Purdin, Kenneth
Barrett, Bessie Barrett and Mrs. Chas.
Barrett. "
The dinner, which was prepared by
the children of the bride and grooui of
fifty yeara, was a very enjoyable feature
of the happy event, and none enjoyed it
tietter than did Mr. and Mrs. iiarrett.
Sr., and the pleasint memories of the
occasion will certainly last until April
11, l'.MKi. when it is hoped another party
will be held, with no vacant chairs.
A Fine Exhibit.
Supt. Case has on exhibition at his
olllce in the court house the exhibits
brought in from the county for the Lew
is and Clark fair, and they are well
worth the attention of every parent.
The exhibit consists of drawings, writ
ing, map work, Becimens of moss,
Mowers, etc., done by pupils of the diff
erent schools, and aome of them, in fact
most all of them are fine. They will
attract a great deal of attention at the
big fair and will certainly hold their
own among the other school exhibits of
the state. The superintendent has no
cabinet in which to place the specimens,
but it is hoped that one wili be secured
before they are sent to Portland, which
will be next week. Other counties have
furnished cabinets for the school speci
mens, but Washington ia behind in this
respect. i
