and later in Kansas City as clerk in
a store, la 17, at the age of
twenty, he went on the road as a
traveling shoe salesman and this oc
cupation he followed for 25 years.
First Came to Okegon 30 Years
Ago.
It was as a rrae'ang salesman that
Mr. F.triian f.rst came to Oregon
thirty years go. He married in
Washington. Pa., in 1ns9 and moved
with his family to Portland in 1900,
residing there continuously ever
since. He engaged in the wholesale
shoe business in Portland in 1905
and in 1910 formed a partnership
with S. B. Barker, of Condon, Ore
gon, an old friend and prominent
Oregon merchant and stock raiser,

ernal organizations.
His Platform.
The platform on which Mr. Fithian
bases his candidacy for the office of
National Committeeman is as follows:
"If I am elected National Com
mitteeman, I will loyally support the
principles of the Republican party
and exert every honorable effort to
insure the election of the candidates
of the party nominated at the Repub
lican primary.
"The Republican National Com
mitteeman owes it to his party and
his state to work in harmonious co
operation with Oregon's Republican
delegation in Congress, to the end
that Oregon's industrial, financial
and political interests may at all
times be protected.
"As National Committeeman I
Shall not content myself with attend
in? meetings of the Republican Na
tional Committee once or twice a
year, but I shall do my utmost to
assist the Oregon delegation to ob
tain the passage of progressive leg
islation as recently formulated for
the relief of our farmers and live
stock men. I shall exert myself to
aid Senators McNary and Stanfield
to obtain for Oregon farmers their
just share of the loans now being
made by the War Finance Corpora

While in Portland during the past
week, State Highway Commissioner
Barratt was interviewed by an Ore
gonian reporter, and the following
appeared in the "Those Who Come
and Go" column of that paper:
"The feminist movement has made
inrcads on the sheep, and young ewes
are regular flappers," observed W. B.
Barratt, a sheepman of Morrow
county and a member of the high
way commission. Mr. Barratt, who
has been busy lambing, arrived in
Portland yesterday to consider the
awarding of about $S00,000 worth of
road jobs. "The sheep business
doesn't look very good just now,"
said Mr. Barratt. "The lambing on
the range is only about 60 per cent,
w hich is very low, the reason, proba
bly, is the long, cold winter, which
has affected the animals. The old
ewes are all right, but the young
ewes refuse to accept their lambs;
they decline to show any maternal
responsibility and run away from the
little things. The consequence is
that when the lambs have been ne
glected the first two days by their
mothers they die and the range is
covered with dead lambkins, victims
of maternal indifference and ne
glect. 1 suspect that the modernest
ideas have hit the sheep range."
The Journal's "Man About Town"
ran onto Judge Dutton a few days
later at the Imperial hotel, and this
is his version placed upon Mr. Bar
ratt 's story:
"Judge" Dutton of the Heppner
colony takes exception to a state
ment attributed to W. B. Barratt that
his sheep are affected with modern
ideas and that the ewes of the young
er generation are shirking the obli
gations of maternity by refusing to
nurse their young. "Nowhere in the !
world," says Judge Dutton, "will you
find the maternal instinct stronger
than in the flocks of Morrow county.
There are no Rappers among them.
I don't believe Bill Barratt said it.
If he did, he was indulging in poetic
license. You know, he is like Silas
Wegg he sometimes, 'drops into po
etry." "
Mrs. Essie Casteel Is Laid . . .
to Rest at Shoshone, Wyo.
Shoshoni was made sad on April
4th by the news of the death of one
of its most loved and respected citi
zens, Mrs. Essie Bernice Casteel.
After a comparatively brief illness
the condition of Mrs. Casteel became
so serious that it was deemed advis
able to take her to the Bishop Ran
dall hospital at Lander and accord
ingly on Tuesday evening, April 4th,
she was taken to that institution. She
was suffering from peritonitis, and
passed away soon after reaching the
hospital. All that medical science
and the tender care of loved ones
could do had been done to save the
precious life, but without avail.
Elsie Bernice Casteel was born on
February 19th, 1902, at Heppner,
Oregon. She was the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. George Cason. In 1919
she came to Shoshoni to visit at the
home of C E. Woodward. It was
while here that she met Mr. Doyle!
Casteel, to whom she was united in !
marriage at Thermopolis on August,
21, 1919. To that union there was
born on August 1st, 1921, a little
daughter, Mary Jane, the little one
and the father being left to mourn
the death of a faithful wife and lov-l
ing mother.
Mrs. Casteel was brought up in the'
Christian faith, and at' the age of 12
joined the Christian church. Mrs.
Casteel was only 20 years, 1 month
and 13 days old at the time of her'
death. I
The remains of the departed were
prepared By the Benson Coolidge un-;
oertakmg establishment at Lander,
and shipped to Shoshoni, interment
taking place here on Thursday, April
6th, Rev. Evans, of the Congrega-!
tional church at Lander, officiating at,
the services.
The remains were accompanied to1
their last resting place by a large
number of sorrowing friends. The
floral offerings were many and beau
tiful. The sympathy of the entire com
munity goes out to Mr. Casteel and
his little daughter in their irreparable
loss. Mrs. Casteel was one of Sho
shoni's most amiable, loved and re
spected citizens, and her departure
from our midst just at the real be
ginning of life, was an occurrence
that has touched the hearts of all
who knew her. Shoshoni Enter
