Death of Dr. J. W. Strange.
Oo to Meet Steamer,
Gravel Ford Itema.
Dr. J. W. Strange, pioneer den­
tist and newspaperman, prominent
in Roseburg’a fraternal spheres and
flt one time a leading factor in local
Republican politics, died at bis
home, in this city, early Sunday
morning, Feb, 9, 1908, after a ling­
ering illness of dropsy. He was
55 years sf age. Dr. Strange liad
been confined to bis house con­
stantly for the past three weeks,
during which time he experienced
alternating periods of improvement
and depression. The day before
his death he was reported to be feel­
ing considerably better, but when
his bedside was visited at 4 o ’clock
the following Morning, the dim
light of life had gone out.
Mr. C. A. Smith and Mr. Arno
Mereen, of the C. A. Smith Lum­
ber and Manufacturing Co., leave
tomorrow for Bay Point, on San
Francisco bay where the company
is building docks and extensive dis­
tributing yards and warehouses
which they will inspect. Mr. Smith
will remain in San Francisco until
the arrival o f the steamer Nan Smith
which he will accompany from San
Francisco to Coos Bay.
Mr. Me-
reen will not wait for the boat but
expects to return to the bay in
about ten days.
A telegram received yesterday
from Captain Nelson, of the Nan
Smith, stated that the boat put in
at Punta Arenas, South America,
caused by the illness of some of the
crew. This will delay her arrival
about two or three days but she is
expected to reach San Francisco
about March 10 to 15 and will
leave there shortly after that for
Coos Bay.— Times.
Lewis Strong of Myrtle Point
transacted business at this place last
week.
Born in Blount county, Tennes­
see, Nov. 21. 1852, Dr. Strange
came to Oregon with his parents,
now deceased, and settled near Wil­
bur, this county. He taught school
and studied dentistry, and was ad­
mitted to practice the latter pro­
fession when 28 yeara of age. Al­
though a highly competent dentist,
he devoted a great part of his life to
conducting news papers, always on
Republican principles, and this
brought him into prominence in his
party. H e was elected school su­
perintendent of this county in 1881,
serving one term, after which he
served successively as reading clerk
of the lower house of the Oregon
legislature and chief clerk of the
senate.
During his tenure of office as
school suprintendent, Dr. Streng*-
acted as elitor of the old Roseburg
Plaindealer. L iter he conducted
newspapers in eastern Oregon and
Washington, chief among the Pen­
dleton (Or.) Tribune. During the
taking of the government census in
1890 he acted as superintendent of
that work in eastein Oregon. At
the conclusion of these duties in
1891, Dr. Strange reumed the prac­
tice of dentistry in Eastern Oregon
and Washington and later in Doug­
lass and Coos counties. In 1903 he
moved back to Rosebrg, and two
years lrter embarked upon his last
newspaper venture by establishing
the Roseburg Spokesman He con­
tinued actively at work until Jan­
uary 1, of this year, when he be­
came so severely afflicted with the
malady that resulted in his death.
Dr. Strange was a charter mem­
ber and the first Mastei Workman
of Roseburg Lodge No. 16, A. O -
U. W ., a Past Qrand of Philetar-
ian Lodge, I. O. O. F. and Past Con­
sul Commauder of Oak Camp No.
125, of this city. He was also a
charter member of the Roseburg
Presbyterian churoh, and a member
of Union Encampment I. O. O. F.

Dr. Strangr is survived by his
wife and one son, Dale.— Review.
