The many friends of Mrs. O. H. Fenn were shocked to hear of her death, which occured shortly before 11 o'clock this morning.

RICH MAN'S CANDIDATE DEFEATED AT SANTA BARBARA SANTA BARBARA, Cal., Dec. 6. Backed by Monteclto millionaires, William W. Wiles, the rich man's candidate, was today defeated In the mayoralty election here by Dr. E. J. Boeseke, the women's champion, who gave him a majority of 700 votes In their first chance to exercise their right of franchise. In tho council manic fight none of the Incumbents were returned and out of the seven counctlmen elected to office- four are prohibitionists. As Dr. Boeseke Is a liberal much Interest Is evoked as to what effect such a council will have upon his administration. and remarkably clean. What above all else appeals to me is the absence of saloons and the undesirable ele ment that saloons always draw. Do you know, as I have been looking about In many towns of the north west, I have been Impressed with the fact that the "dry" towns not only offer much better places for a new comer to take his family, but they are actually on a more prosperous footing and in them all lines of legi timate business are better than in towns filled with saloons, i Prob ably less street corner talk and brag but more actual business. Another thing that is going to help Grants Pass mors than Is gen erally supposed Is the proposed auto truck road to the sea. It will do more for it than would a branch railway with freight rates dictated by other roads. It will help to get a railway but what Is better, it will act as an assurance to your people that freight rates will be cut to com pete with anyone who desires to put on a motor truck. I hope the road will be pushed. Yes, I think Grants Pass has a fine outlook for the future and that It will be a pleasant place for a home. I will let you know when I am able to run down and go over the land with you. WHY WOMEN SUFFER Many flranta Pom Women Are Learning the Core VVIVTUtl OXMCY UIM.lMi. Fll.KY, England, Dec. 0.
