ANOTHER PIONEER GONE
Word was received hero Tues-'
day of ti e death of Alexander J.
Tarter at Weisor on Monday of
this week, of ailments incident to
advanced age.
The remains arrived last even
ing and the funeral services wero
held at the Methodist church at
11 o'clock this morning, Hev. J.
M. Johnson oHicujUng; and the
body was laid to rest in Eagle
Valley cemetery, where his par
ents, his wife and other relatives
are buried.
A granddaughter, Miss Lou
tacia Tarter, and a niece, Mrs.
W. T. Henn;hoiT, are among the
relatives residing in this section,
If obtainable we will publish a
synopsis of Mr. Tarter's life in
a later issue, as he was anions
the first settlers of Eagle Valley,
living on Little Eagle Creek near
tho present home oT Mrs. Nora
Moody when I. N. Young arrived
here in 1871.
Never Say "Enough"
An Irishman who was getting
the worst of it in a fight was ask
od if he would say "enough." II'
replied: "If I had strength left to
say that, I wouldn't be licked.'
Tn.t' the proper Spirit. Never
irH. A quitter never gets
a i . !) a..- If hard luck strikoa
you, brace up and go on just as
bravely as you can. However, a
little savings account at the bank
has carried many .a man through
a tight place. Hotter begin now.
befpre hard luck strikes and open
a little saVings account with us.
We v ill guard it carefully for you.
ad) Eagle Valley State Bank
Mr. Haaschj station agent at
Robinette,; has estimated the
amount of freight handled the
past year for Eagle Valley at
8,000,000 pounds. This is an av
erage of more than 33 tons per
month, and includes both incom
ing and outgoing freight, but is
exclusive of mail, express and
passenger business. These figures
should convince tho most skep
tical that the expending of $20,
000 on a road between Richland
and Hobinetto would result in
much benefit to every resident in
this section.
The Red Cross workers will
meet at the home of Mrs. Wesley
Saunders on next Tuesday nfter"
noon Plenty of work for all
who come.
Now is a good' time to rcfinish

A preliminary estimate 6f the
production of metals' from Ore-4
gon mines in 1917, compiled by
Chas. G. Yale of the. San Fran
cisco office of the TJ. S. Geolog
ical Survey, shows a material de
crease from tfiat of i91G'. Tho
largest output of gold and other
metals came, as usual, from'
Baker county, which nroduces
annually abput 9p per cent of all
tho gold mined in Oregon.
TUESDAY, JANUARY 22 ;
At 8 o'clock in the evening on
tho above date, the semi-monthly
nr iiim4 Snn r f rtAlinnSI ttti 1 1 r
held at the town hall, and the
meeting promises to be of more
than ordinary interest. Every
citizen ut all interested in the
welfare and development of our
town should be present.
Tho "12 o'clock ordinance" will
be given a third reading and will
call for some spirited discussion.
In our opinion the ordinance is as
rank fanatical closs legislation as
could be framed in a community
of this kind. We believe that
our present mayor and council
men are top broad minded to vote
for such a law, as it would result
in still less amusements for our
young people, and no one will
deny that there is little gnough
in tho way of entertaintr.cnt for
them oven with an "all night
dance" occasionally.
A plan for putting down a deep
well, installing a power pump and
stand pjp?, as a means of giving
Richland a water supply for do
mestic use and fire protection,
wdi also bo discussed. This is a
matter of utmost importance to
every citizen, and alone should
be the moans of drawing a large
crowd to the meeting.
Under the automobile law it is
made the specific duty of all police
officers, sheriffs and constables,
within the limits of their respec
tive jurisdictions, to enforce its
provisions. The council will in
struct MarshallMcDowell as to his
duties in regard to speed limit,
lights and license plates, etc.
Where Are They Now?
In all 7-1 men who registered in
Baker county were riot at the ad
dresses filed with the local board
at Baker(consequently their ques
tionnaires were returned and the
men listed as technical deserters.
Among the names are the follow
ing from Eagle Valley:
Roy Chamberlain, Richlandjdid

R. B. Dun ford, registered at
;Now Bridge.
Hugh Jackson, registered at
Richland.
Hershel Wymore, registered at

elected for 1918: I. N. Young,

Chandler, who is at present in
California and undecided as to
his future residence.
Mr. N. Young was elected

capacity Mr. Chandler served
with untiring efforts for seven
years.

all of our customers for the
kind patronage and for cooperat
ing with us in making 1917 the
