in circulating the petition until
the registration opens. I will not

paring the petition. I cannot af

and good. It is a great honor to
be sent to the senate, but it only
becomes an honor when the peo
ple wish to send a man there, not
when he has to buy his way in.
I have no sack to spend. My
candidacy is entirely in the hands
of the people of Oregon.

The Pacific Coast Condensed
Milk Company and the Baseline
Lumber Company have filed ap-
Dea s in the circuit court irom
the decisions of the county board
of equalization. The former com
pany alleges that the valuation
of its two plants in this county is
excessive, being $50,000 on the
Forest Grove plant and $15,000
on the merchandise on hand,
and $35,000 on the establishment
in this city. The Baseline Lum
ber company, whose mill is near
Cornelius, and who also own con
siderable timber land in this
county, claim that the assessment
is made at the rate of $1 to $1.25
per thousand standing timber
and from $2 to $5 per acre for
the land. The company claim
that some tracts are valued at
double the amount paid for them
a few months ago.
Ben Schnoor was last week ar

to Washington county from Eu
reka, California. He was for
merly employed by Mr. Lehmann
and was an excellent farm hand.
Mr. Lehman stated that he had
been missing articles from his
house for several days and on
December 24, Mrs. Lehmann sur
prised the prowler by observing
him in the pantry. In the eve
ning, a little later, Mr. Lehmann
and some neighbors instituted
search and located Schnoor in a
barn. Upon further investiga
tion a bed of sacks was discov
ered under the house where
Schnoor has spent several days.
A number of holes were bored in
the floor and indicated that
Schnoor was waiting for an op
portunity to make a big haul.

these old days the spinning jenny
was not invented and the trust a

afterwards the scene of the de
cisive battle of the Padueah In
dian war. Here the couple set
tled and here their children were
born and reared. There were
five girls and three boys in the
family, and Mary was the sixth
child according to the old family
bible.
Kate Ramsey, the mother, died
after a few hours' illness, at the
age of 110, G5 years ago. The
day before her death she had
walked a distance of five miles,
knitting as was her usual custom.
A few years before, the father.
Richard Ramsey, had dropped
dead from heart disease. I lo w as
a brick-maker and contractor,
and burned the brick used in the
first brick house in Knoxville.
When Mary was 12 years old
she joined the Methodist Episco
pal church. For 108 years she
has been a communicant, and
wss a devoted Methodist. Her
folks were well-to-do, were slave
owners, and possessed consider
able property. She was married
at the age of 17 to Jacob Lemons,
a prosperous farmer, and the
couple lived happily together in
their Tennessee home for many
years. She was left a widow 73
years ago, about the time that
Andrew Jackson was nearing the
end of the first term as presi
dent. Four children were born
to the couple, Mary J. Lemons,
who died in Tennessee two years
ago at the age of 98; Isaac Lem
ons, who died in Kansas tity,
Missouri, 40 years ago; Nancy E.
Bullock, who died at Hillsboro OS
years ago, and Mrs. C. B. Rey
nolds, who is now living in Hills
boro, and who, though 77 years
of age, devoted her life to the
care of her aged parent.
For the next 20 years Mrs.
Lemons lived with her children,
sometimes with one and some
times with another. They were
settled in Alabama, Georgia, Ken
tucky and Missouri, and the wid
ow lived with first one and then
the other. In 1852 she accompa
nied her youngest daughter, Mrs.
C. B. Southworth, across the
plains to Oregon, arriving in
Hillsboro in 1853. She was then
6G years old, and rode a bay riare

"Mv
sight is well worn and though I
can see owt of but one eye, I can
still thread a reedle and read
large typ.:. Since my illness I
have boon hard cf hearing, too,
and you have to shout. I lost
my teeth 41 years ago, and since
then have worn raise teeth. A
most remark .tblo thing hapjened
last spring; lent a tooth. Would
you believe it: It caused some
irritation, and is considerable an
noyance, inte.-fering with the
false teeth, but it is there all
right. I haven't the least idea
how it happened. I plainly re
member the war of 1812. My
father fought during the last six
months under Andrew Jackson,
but he was a paid soldier. We
lived near the highway and I saw
Andrew Jackson driving from his
home to Washington to be Presi
dent, and waved to him. We
were all Democrats and are still.
I haven't much use for the black
Republicans. It bewilders me to
think of the many things that
have happened in my life. I can
remember when there were no
steamboats or steam cars, and it
was only yesterday that the tele
phone and electric light were in
vented. They called me an old
woman when we came to Oregon,
but I rode horseback all the way,
and that was 51 years ago. I re
member the Mexican war plainly,
and the civil war seems like last
week. I was 72 when John
Brown made his raid at Harper's
Ferry, and although the news
didn't reach us for months after
ward, I remember the excitement
it caused. In the same year Ore
gon was admitted as a stite.
Why, 40 years ago, they said I
ought to take things easy, so I
sold my hotel to my daughter.

been dead for half a century,
some of them a full century. My
eldest boy would be a hundred
this year if he had not died two
years ago. Even the friends of
my old age are gone, and I have
only my daughter left. I am
hard of hearing and blind in one
eye, and yet I enjoy life, take an
interest in the world, and try to
be as little bother as possible un
til the end comes, which cannot
be long delayed now."
The funeral was held at the
homo of the deceased at 2 o'clock
yesterday, the services being
conducted by Rev. L. F. Bel
knap, and the attendance was
