for her to give up school work, and on
February it, it was necessary to take

days of the most intense suffering. Her
mother and one brother were with her

More than a hundred, perhaps a

to lone last Sunday on an excursion
train to attend the funeral of Miss
Anna Balsinger, who died last week at
St. Vincent hospital in Portland, from
acute Bright's disease after an operation
for appendicitis.
Miss Balstger was one of the most
widely known and highly respected
women of Morrow county, and for this
rea'on her funeral was attended by
people from all sections of the county.
Mayor Gilliam found it necessary to
charter the branch line train in order
that all who desired to attend from this
city might be accommodated.
The funeral services were held in the
Congregalionalist church at one o'clock
Sunday afternoon. The capacity of the
church as not sufficient to seat one
half of those who sought admission.
Rev. C. E. Clapp, of Forest Grove,
assisted by the pastor of the lone church,
conducted the services, the former
delivering the sermon, which was very
impressive. The floral contributions
were profuse.
The services at the cemetery were
short and not to largely attended

SUCAR BEET CULTURE
The La Grande Sugar Factory
Has Leased Land at Echo to
Experiment In Culture pf
Sugar Beet.
Monte Gwinn, secretary ot the Idaho
Woolgrowers' association, states that
30,000 sheep were loaded at Idaho Falls
last week for shipment to San Fran
cisco. These are the sheeD that have
been fed on the pulp at the sugar factory.
Heretofore practically every sheep
that has been sent to the market has
gone east to Chicago or some other
packing center of the east. The ship
ment of so many in the opposite di
rection gives rise to the presumption
that they are destined to feed the army
of either Japan or Russia in the far east.
No statement, however, can be ob
tained of such a destination, as the
purchase of supplies in a neutral na
tion for use of an army of either power
would not be made directly by the
government and the ultimate purpose
of such supplies would not be given out.
"It is not known," said Mr. Gwinn,
whether the sheep are to go to Japan
or Russia. It certainly looks as though
they were started for the far east, how
ever. At any rate they are sent in an
entirely different direction than most
shipments, removing that much mutton
from the Chicago market, and that is
what interests a sheepman."
