From last Thursday's Oregonian we take, the following account of the death of A. T. Bunnett, who was an uncle of Mrs. Lillian Turner of this city: A. T. Bonnett, well-known Oregon pioneer, a member of the third family to settle in this city, died here this morning. He had been ill about one year. j Mr. Bonnett was born March 12, i 1842, in Van Buren county, Missouri, crossed tho plains by ox team, and jeame to Oregon m 1854. Six months' time was required for the journey. ! The Bonnett family played a com- i prehensive part in wrestling Lane ; county from the wilderness. For many years Mr. Bonnett resided on a ranch near Coburg, but recently re tired from active life and had since resided in Eugene. He was married jin Harrisburg, Ore., in 1868 to Catherine Couch, who survives him. On next New Year's day the couple would have celebrated their 51st wedding anniversary.

RULES REGARDING ALIEN By order of President Wilson, up on recommendation of the Attorney General, all regulations imposed on German alien enemies of both sexes, except Regulations 9, 10 and 12 of the Proclamation of April Sth, 1917, are discontinued on and after Decern ber 25th, 1918, says a letter from G. F. Alexander, U. S. Marshal for Ore gon. Regulation 9 provides that no al ien enemy shall depart from the United Statc3 until he shall receive such permits as the President shall prescribe, or except under order of a court, judge or justice under Sec tion 4069 and 4070 of the Revised Statutes. Regulation 10 provides that no al- i.'u enemv shall land in or enter the United States, except under such re strictions and at Bueh places as the President, may prescribe. Regulation 12 provides that an al ion enemy whom there may be reas onable cause to believe to be aiding or about to aid the enemy, or who may be at large to the daDger of the public peace or safety, or who vio lates or attempts to violate, or of whom there is reasonable grounds to believe that he is auout to violate, any regulation duly promulgated by the President, or any criminal law of the United States, or the States and Territories thereof, will be subject to summary arrest by the United States Marshal or his deputy, or such other officer as the President shall desig nate, and to confinement in such pen Itentiary, prison, jail, Military canxp or other place of detention as may be directed by the President.

SUGAR SHOWED QURJACKBONE American Willingness to Give Up Luxury Demonstrated Na tion'sar Conscience. STAND WITH THE ALLIES. By Reducing Consumption People of the United States Averted Famine at Home in Spit of Low Supplies. The fact that the people of the United States were ultie to reduce by more than one-luilf million t ins their July, August, September and October consumption of su'iir proves conclu sively that their war conscience whs thoroughly awakened and that the "ouutry as a whole stood ready to fol low the Injunctions of the Government. Our normal consumption of sugar In the four-month period beginning with July has been 400.000 tons per month, a total of 1,600,000 for the quarter year. In July, when our sugar stringency began to reach its height, consumption was reduced to 260,000 tons. In Au gust only 325,000 tons went into dis tribution and In September only 279, 000 tons. In October the distribution fell to 210,000 tons. If the general public had failed to observe the injunctions of the Food Administration this country would have been in the throes of a sujiar famine before the end of August. Our risible supplies were so low us to brin;: great anxiety to those familiar with the sugar situation. They feared that it would be absolutely Impossible to reduce consumption to a point where sugar would no longer be a mere lus ory in the American diet. Few accomplishments of the Food Administration will stand forth so pre dominantly as tins reduced consump tion of sugar. By it we have been able to bridge over the period of stringency until the new beet and Ixiiilsiana cane sugar crops Wv.re In sight. Now the nation Is in a position so tbnl IX we choose we may return to our normal home use of sugar, and Europe, with the release of ships to go far afield, can maintain Its recent re stricted rations. If, however, those nations are to increase their use of sugar very considerably It must be by our continued sharing with them through limiting our own consump tion. AMERICAN SPIRIT RELIED ON TO WIN. In the light of succeeding events It Is Interesting to iccall the confidence with which the United States Food Administrator viewed the gloomy out look In July of 1917, when tills coun try had been In the war for less than four months and the Germans were steadily sending the western front nearer and nearer to P.-.ris. "Even thousli the situation In Eu rope may be gloomy today," he de clared in a public statement, "no American who has knowledge of the results already obtained in every di rection need have one atom of fear tliat democracy will not defend itself to these United States." LOYALTY IN LITTLE THINGS LAST PROOF OF PATR20TISM Americans without murmuring cut their sugar allowance from four pounds a month to three and then as long as need be to two pounds for loy alty' sake.

We notice that the farmers are going to build themselves a million dollar temple, right smack dab iu the center of Washington, by heck; and maintain a lobby backed by six or seven million dollars. Which pretentious program would cost the farmers of this nation about one dollar and two bits a head, or a little less. You see there are quite a few farmers here and yon; especially yon. Also hither and hence, if you go to and fro, you will discover more farmers. Farmers on hill tops, wrestling with nature as fervently as Jacob wrestled with the angel. And mostly getting about what Jacob got, a broken shoulder blade, jr a twisted tendon or two. Farmers in valleys, and, farmers an plains stuck just about every where fit for folks to reside, and then in all the other places, that were used jy the good Lord to hold the de sirable spots together. If the farmers of the nation gather a class consciousness, and a cam paign fund, and unite on a iprogram, the Good Lord help the average congressman who has been elected by the rural contingent; who follow ed the party parade, asked no re ward, and never had a chance to discover whether their representative did anything for them or not. Six million farmers digging up say, only $50 apiece to maintain an efficient fighting representation at Washington, and to get results for the farmers as a class, would cer tainly make the trades union move ment, the revered and eminently lespectable grange and the suffragets seem children plav.ng at politics. Six million voters, their wives and families, Wow! Frank Frates was in from Eight Mile Saturday, attending to some business matters. He recently re turned from a visit to the home ut his parents at San Pablo, Calif., being called there by the death of his father, who was past eighty years of age.
