C om County Pioneer of 1873,
Passed Away at Loe Laat
. Tuesday
Another Oregon pioneer, one who
came west in 1872, passed to the
great beyond Tuesday, when Mrs.
Hester Hasel ‘Harmon died at
home in the Lee section. Mrs. Har-
mon had been an invalid and confined
to a, wheel chair for the past 15 yean
and death came as a release from
suffering.
Funeral sepricee, conducted by Rev.
Mallory Ftanagin, of the Pioneer
church here, were held at the chapel
at 11 O’clock thia morning and the
friends and relatives then proceded to
Lee where they body waa laid to rest
in the Mast cemetery.
Hester Hasel Mast was bom Nov.
29, 1852, in Wautauga, North Caro­
lina, and was one month and 17 days
past 81 years of age.
She waa married, in the town of her
birth, to Lesson L. ¡Harmon, who
passed away at their Lee home, Nov.
20, 1891.
They came to Oregon in 1872, lo­
cating in Douglas eounty and a year
later moved to the place at Lee which
has been home for nearly 02 years.
Of the six children bom to them,
three survive—one eon, Wm. Harmon,
of Lee; two daughters, Sadie Har­
mon, of Lee, and Mrs. Ruby Clinton,
of Myrtle Point. *
She ie also survived by one brother,
E. P. Mast, of Coquille, fifteen grand
children and aig great grandchildren.
When Mr. Harmon and his family
came to the Coquille valley from
Douglas they travelled on pack mules
through forest« where there were not
many trails. Mrs. Harmon has wit­
nessed
marvelous and wonderful
changes in the lives, conditions and
circumstance« during her more than
four score years.

proval by the FWA was secured. He
told of the continuous efforts to se­
cure that approval and why the tell
charge idea waa adopted.
There are several departments in
the Public Works Administration,
among them a legal and a financial
bureau, and it la necessary to gat the
OK of each department before final

When Mr. Devers appeared before
the legal bureau he was informed
that that department could not ap­

the bridges was adopted by the state
highway department. Of the »5,100,-
000 allocated for the bridges, 90 per
tent is a grant, but the remaining 70
per cent must bo repaid with inter-
aet. And the legal department in­
sisted that tolls be charged to insure
nayment of the loan. A bill was pro­
oared by the legal end, sent out to the
legislature, then ia «pedal session,
