Whereas, it has pleased the Grand Master of the Universe in his wisdom to call from our midst our revered and faithful brother, George Noble; Be It Resolved, that while we bow in humility to the decree of a right eous and omnipotent God, to whom every Mason bends the knee, yet we do not the less feel and deplore our loss. Brother George Noble was ever an upright man and Mason, true to the highest and noblest traditions and aims of Fret, Masonry, seeking al ways the greater light, the Worthy object of every true Mason's quest. As members of Heppner Lodge No. 69, A. F. and A. M., we mourn for our departed brother, but our sorrow is tempered by an abiding hope ,and belief lhat the labors of one so faith ful here have not been in vain; that the light sought has broken upon the seeker, and that upon the ears now- deaf to us has fallen the welcome Greeting: Well done good and faith ful servant. To the family of Brother Noble we, his fellow-craftsmen and brothers extend our deepest sympathy in this hour of grief and beg to assure them that we fully share with them in their feelings of bereavement. Resolved, that these resolutions be spread upon our minutes, that a copy thereof be sent by the secretary to the family of our deceased brother, and a copy furnished the local pa pers for publication.

ANOTHER 0 PIONEER PASSES Mrs. Luther Huston, One of the Earliest Settlers of the Eight Mile Section, Is Called Af ter a Short Illness. The funeral of Mrs. Luther Hus ton was held at 2:00 p. m. on Tues day from the Christian church in Heppner Rev. C. W. Reynolds of lone conducting the services. The church was decorated by many floral offer ings and music was furnished by mixed quartet consisting of Mr. and Mrs. O. G. Crawford, Mrs. L. K. Har lan and Mr. V.

Morgan and Jeff Jones. Interment was In the family lot at Masonic cemetery, following a short committal service by Pastor Reynolds. Madora Jane Huston was born near Albany, Linn county, Oregon, May 21, 1854, the daughter of Thom as and Rachel Boggs, pioneer resi dents of the Willamette Valley, who crossed the plains to Oregon in 1849. These good people settled on a do nation claim near the town of Tan gent and it was here that Mrs. Hus ton grew to womanhood. She was married to Luther Huston July 21, 1873, and to this union five children were born, four sons and one daughter. These are Guy, Claud and Clive, now living, and residents of the Eight Mile country, Archie, deceased, and Kate, wife of John F. Vaughn, of Heppner. Mr. and Mrs. Huston came to Mor row county in 1884 and settled on a new farm in the Eight Mile section where they were pioneers in farming and stockraising, building up and de veloping a splendid home through all the hardships and vicissitudes in cident to the development of a new country. In all of these years, Mrs. Huston was the faithful helpmeet to her husband and mainstay of tho family. She lived to see the con summation of her joys and expecta tions realized in her family and for some years past was contented in the happy surroundings of her home life, tho her family of children had all married and gone to make homes for themselves. Mrs. Huston became a Christian 36 years ago, joining the church at Browr.sville, and she was ever faith ful to the vows then taken. Having lived so long in this county she was always known as a "good wife and mother and a kind hearted and sym pathetic neighbor. Many years of her life she had suffered from physical ailments, but in this she was patient and forbearing and few if any of her nearest friends were ever made to realize the pain and distress she of ten went through; this was only known to her own family. The high esteem in which she was held by her neighbors was fully attested by the large number who were in attendance upon the last sad rites. She was wide ly known throughout her neighbor hood and was loved by all. Having laid down life's burdens, she has passed to a peaceful reward. i The exact cause of Mrs. Huston's death was not announced. She had been failing quite rapidly for some time, and a few weeks ago took a trip to Portland, contemplating vis iting Seattle in the meantime and seeking medical aid. She did not get better while away, and returned to Heppner on Wednesday of last week in a very weak condition and at once took to her bed. It being ascertained that she was very seriously ill, Dr. Tucker was called from Portland in consultation with local physicians and all that was possible for human aid to accomplish was done for her but to no avail, and she died at 7:09 a. m., Monday, July 12, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. F. Vaughn. To the sorrowing husband and family the sincere sympathy of this entire community is extended. Moth er has gone on before; your consola tion is in the hope of a glorious re union in that hpme where sorrow and death comes not, but all is joy and peace forever. Prof. J. B. Horner, of the Oregon Agricultural College at Corvallis, was in Heppner Wednesday doing "mis sionary" work for that institution. Prof. Horner is striving to meet all recent high school graduates and in duce them to attend the institutions of higher education in Oregon. Prof. Horner is an ardent booster for Ore gon institutions. He has been con nected with the O. A. C. for many years, where he has had charge of the department of history. A fe-v years ago he made an extend vl trip to the Holy Lands and since that time has given many interesting illustrat ed lectures over the state relative to his trip in foreign lands. County court adjourned to meet again, on to-morrow, the 16th. Dur ing the week Commissioners Currin and Padberg have been on a trip to Portland to view the workings of a road roller the county contemplates buying. The trip is made at the ex pense of the company owning the ma chine, who were desirous of making a demonstration of the pmctical work the implement is capable of doing. We. presume the court will decide at its adjourned term whether or not thoy will invest in a machine of this character at this time or not.
