OBITIAKY.
James Ridgway was born Jailunr
10, 1S12, in Lincoln county, Kentucky;
died at his home near Lebanon, Ore
gon, Nov. 30, 1SSS. Whi-n a youth of
17 years Mr. Ridgway removed from
Kentucky to Illinois, where at the age
of 20 lie made a profession of the re
ligion of Christ and united with the
Methodist Episcopal church, in which
church he lived a faithful member
until his death.- He came to Oregon
in 1S52 and resided here his remaining
days. During the thirty-six years of
his residence In the State he had but
one home his donation claim about
one mile east of this town. So then
he was truly a citizen of Linn county,
and was one of her good and honor
able citizens. .Though very plain and
unpretentious, he was a man of ster
ling integrity, and interested himself
in the development and advancement
of his community and surrounding
country. He loved " whatsoever
things are true, whatsoever things are
honest, whatsoever tilings are just,
hatsoever things are pure whatso
ever things are of good report," and
did what he could to build up that
which would bene tit and bless human
ity around him. He was one of the
founders of Santiam Academy, located
here in his neighborhood. He hauled
nearly, if not quite all, the lumber
which composes the building, and he
was one of the school's long and hon
ored trustees." In his death a good and
useful citizen is taken from our midst,
but there are works of his and an in
fluence which survive and remain with
us. These are such that none need be
ashamed. An aged wife, five children
and many frieuds mouru the loss they
sustain in his departure.

Xtcllp of the Sun.
A special feature in the celebration
of the Xew Year's day approaching
will be an eclipse of the sun, gotten up
especially for the occasion. The eclipse
will be total over a strip 120 miles
wide, running through California, Da
kota and Montana, nearly to Hudson
Bay. California comes in for the lion's
share, as usual, as the shadow comes
ashore about the location of the Lick
observatory, whe.e very elaborate
preparations have been made for ol
serving the eclipse. Harvard Univer
sity will send a party out to California
to observe the eclipse, and savants
from Eastern institutions will also visit
this coast for the same purpose. The
eclipse will be only partial in Oregon,
beginning at Portland at 12:00 and
ending at 12:ol P. i. It will hardly

CArTAIN WM. ' VAUGHAN.
dipt. Wm. Vaughan crossed over
the river on the ISlh of last month.
At the time of his death he was living
some eighteen miles southeast of
Brownsville. We learn the following
facts in the history of this remarkable
and useful man from Mrs. Luther
White. He was horn Oct. 10, 1S07, in
Virginia, and about the year 1840
moved to Missouri.' In 1S45 he came
to this valley prospecting for a home,
went back to Missouri the next year,
and in 1819 raised a largo colony and
crossed the plains with ox teams, hav
ing in all about seventy wagons. He
settled on the Calapooiaeastof Browns
ville, where he raised a- family of
twelve children, all of whom married
and settled in Oregon. Capt. Vaughan
brought the first sheep that were ever
brought to this valley, and was the
first man to engage In that industry in
all this valley.
He was honest to the core," and
was noted for his great probity of char
acter, and his hand was ever open to
help the poor and newly. Hundreds
of immigrants remember his many
acts of kindness to the settler. It is
Impossible to calculate the benefit of
such a life and character of such a
man to this country. He deserves a
monument "more lasting than marble
and more durable than brass."

"Resolved, that prohibition will suc
ceed by having n distinct platform in
stead of uniting with other parties."
Miss Edwards has been sick two
days the past week, and Miss Lizzie
Reed has taken her place in the pri
