I would especially call attention to that piece of road south of the new bridge to the Wildervllle road. It is ns bad a piece of road as it ever was my misfortune to pass over (or un der). If that is a part of the county road it ought to be fixed at once, even though the authorities have to borrow money to do it.

Lot us all work together, and see to It that we have roads that do not en danger the lives of onr animals to drive over them. Let us furnish our overseers with the wherewith to build the roads and we can all vouch for it that the Hon. Judge Jewell will see to it that the money is judiciously expended to our benefit, that will add dollars to the cents we expend in that way. It might be well to call a good roads convention, get taxpay ers together to formulate some move ment to further It along. Let us hear from others on the subject. Before closing I want to say a word about the streets-In the city of Grants Tass; they are simply In places almost Impassable. I have noticed In the Courier that there Is talk of paving and It Is to be hoped that It will go through this time, for the condition of Sixth street from the bridge to the court house is a dis- Tlie Child's Play of North Yakima. The taking of the $1000 prize at the Spokane National apple show by the Rogue River valley has created a great storm among the fruit grow lers at Yakima and they are denounc ing the judges for not awarding this much coveted distinction to them. This is the very acme of selfishness and marks them as unworthy to par ticipate In an honorable contest to 'encourage the production of better fruit. The Rogue River valley has been crowned King In apple growing and It won the distinction In an hon orable way. North .Yakima mar whine and play the baby act but It will avail them nothing, only make them the laughing stock of the whole country. j North Yakima was awarded a sec ond prize of $500 which really did not belong to them. The Judges said it would have gone to Charlie Pope, of Ashland, If he had unwrapped Ms fruit. It so happened that he not notified In time and he was r"t in the 'contest.

Pease who left here a few months ago for Portland on a visit to rela tives. Later they went to Pullayup to see their daughter. Arriving there In time to celebrate an Import ant event In their lives, the 61st an niversary of their marriage. There are few people who have the good fortune. We copy the following from the Puyallup Tribune of Nov ember 27: Dr. and Mrs. Horace G. Pease, re cent arrivals In Puyallup from Ore gon, celebrated the 61st anniversary of their marriage on Thanksgiving Day. The occasion was quietly ob served at the home of their daughter, Mrs. J. W. Way, on Cherry street. Dr. and Mra. Pease were married In 1S48 in Berkshire county, Mass. Both were born In Granby, Conn., and are of old Colonial stock. Their grand fathers were soldiers In the war of the revolution and their fathers In the war of 1812. Mrs. Pease's father was a major of artillery at 19 years of age. Rules for Happiness. "The rule for a happy married life Is an old one," said Mrs. Pease, as she beamed upon The Tribune re porter yesterday. "Just the two 'bears' bear and forbear." "Yes, and If each one keeps up Ms end of the yoke thero's not much danger of serious trouble," added the venerable doctor. Four children have been born to the union two boys and two girls. Of these, but two survive, Mrs. J. W. Way, of Puyallup, and George H. Pease, of Grants Pass, Ore. Rut One Wcltlintf Guest Now Alive. Dr. and Mrs. Pease were married by a minister who had been pastor of the church for fifty years. The wedding was a pretentious affair, the young couple having been sup ported by three bridesmaids and three groomsmen. At the Thanks giving dinner previous to the cere mony thirty relatives were seated. There were 100 Invitations Issued, and of all, those In attendance but one Is alive today a nephew, who at that time was 15 months of age. Playmate of President. Mrs. Pease when a child was a playmate of the late President James A. Garfield. Dr. Pease, now retired, practiced medicine for almost thirty yenrs. The two have spent most of their lives In South Dakota and Iowa. AN OLD PIONEER KILLED IN THE EAST Charles Ixvel!. whose death ;vvr red suddenly In Hampshire, III., hi.it week, the result of being run over by a passenger train, was one of the, earliest settlers of thla section and Is well known by all the pioneers of Southern Oregon. The Hampshire Register gives the account of the varied career of the deceased from whUh we quote the following: Charles Lovell was born June 25, 1832, In Newfleld, Thompklns coun ty, New York, hla age at death thus being 77 years, 3 months and 27 days. He came to Illinois with his parents,' Mr. and Mrs. James Lovell. In 1837, and they settled In Sycamore township. The old "Ohio Grove Ta vern" two miles east of tho' present site of Sycamore, was famous 'way back In the forties. . Charles Lovell went to California In 1852, and hearing the call of his country, enlisted In Its service for the Rogue River Indian war. Re turning to Illinois, he was united In j marriage to Miss Sarah A. Perry In 1858. The same year he again went ,to California, and March 15, ; 1862, enlisted In the U. S, Army, from Josephine county, Oregon. He iwaa mustered Into service at Klrbys jville. Ore., April 2, 1862, with Co. F, First Regiment. He served faith fully and efficiently - through the civil strife and was honorably dis charged April 7, 1S05, at Ft. Van couver, Wash. Returning to Illinois In 1865, he settled In Burlington township, and served for twelve con .socutlve years as supervisor of that township. Soon after, he moved to Hampshire and for a number of years engaged In merchandising. Mr. Lovell became a power In town politics, and for yenrs ruled destinies In that line a man to be reckoned with, as It were, before a candidate might launch his campnlgn success fully. In his business transactions Mr. Lovell's word was as good as his bond. During hla residence In Hampshire, he always took an active Interest In everything that pertained to the welfare of the village, and much credit Is due him for this Inter est. In politics he was a firm be liever In tho principles of Republicanism. Those surviving the docensed are a wife, Mrs. saran a. lowcii, one daughter and two sons. Ik.
