Death From Paralysi«. Mrs. Elizabeth F. Bond, while visiting at the home of her sister, Mrs. Wm. Hib­ bert, in Dayton, Oreg., was stricken with paralysis last Friday, and death ensued within a few hours. Mrs. Bond was born in Daviess county, Ky , April 23d, 1840, and was married to L. C. Bond in Edwards county, Ills., in October, 1859. To them were born nine children, seven of whom are living—Leonard, of West Salem, Ills.; Mrs. E. M. Jennings, Grayville, Ill.; Mrs. W. T. Henderson, Browns, Ill; Milo, Mrs. A. C. Pace, and the Blisses Hattie and Jessie Bond of this city. She also leaves a sister and two brothers to mourn her loss.

The appropriation made by Oregon is believed to have been money well spent, and the state will see good results in in­ creased population. This event will tide us over till 1905, when the Lewis A Clark exposition will prove tbe greatest contributor to Oregon’s growth and de­ velopment that the state has ever seen. The Rev. J. Wood Stone, of Hanford, Calif., preached two sermons on Sunday at the Cumb. Presbyterian church, which were very acceptable to his audi­ ences. Before his leaving the following day, the sesaion extended him a call to serve the church as pastor, and the same was accepted. Mr. Stone secured the McKinney house on north E street as his place of residence, and the church parsonage is now for rent He will re­ move to McMinnville during December, bringing his family, which consists of his wife, and two sons in their teens.

The Kind You Have Always Bought Signature of The cattle kings are endeavoring to prevent crowding of ranges by spreading the scare that beef will in time be so scarce and high that rich Pig« Far Male. men only can afford to have it on Fonr thoroughbred Essex pigs for sale their tables.

It is also a deplorable fact that our farmers, Bnare tie _ Y" ¡I»* **22 $»<■ looking ahead and plainly seeing, do not raise more cattle. Advnntagea of Hlver Tran.porta- llon. There is growing indignation locally among business circles as a result of the recent withdrawal of all steamhoat traf­ fic to this city. The reason given is low stage of water, but the alleged low stage is all below Dayton, to which landing boats still make regular trips. It is not understood that any obstacle intervenes between Dayton and McMinnville to the most tranquil navigation. It is well known that the government has ex­ pended thousands of dollars to make it possible for teats to traffic on this river as far as McMinnville. The fact that a few individuals have it in their power to levy upon the people of this section just the tribute they see fit by destroying all competition in hauling, is a most lament­ able one, and one that covers our faces with a sickly grin when we recall the self-gratulations and public glorifica­ tions over the completion of the locks last year, and the strong hopes that filled our breasts of attaining unto a con­ dition of relief from exorbitant freight rates. There is one consolation left us. It cannot always last. Forbearance will cease to be a virtue Tbe reins of power are supposed to b<- in tbe hands of the people, if they w ill but use them. Already a proposition conies from one navigator that he will run an indepen­ dent teat w ith a certain reasonable guar­ antee of patronage. Another thing re­ mains to be done. Tbe allied steamboat interests have all the wharf privileges, and a new wharf will have to be con­ structed to accommodate an indepen­ dent boat. Freight rates have already gone up. Merchandise that formerly came at the Hat rate of toe per 100 pounds is now from 12c to 19c. One merchant paid 50 more freight on Tuesday on a little hill of goods than would have been re quired under the old boat schedule. Another local dealer estimates that at present rates, if they go no higher, the increase in his yearly freight charges will reach $150. What will be done about it? The situation emphasizes a long existing need of some organized effort to pnmiote the commercial anil material interests of the town. Let the old board of trade be revived, or a new one called into life. Outside coopera­ tion is always more surely attracted to a town that gives encouragement through organized effort. We can at least dem­ onstrate whether we are hopelessly in the hands of a trust. Clirletlaja Church. Bible school, 9:45 a. m.; preaching, it a. in.; Junior Endeavor, 3 p. m.; Y P. S. C, E , 6:30.

A few years hence she can look back and say: “I started this re­ form in athletics in Oregon educational institutions.”—Reporter The above effusion would carry more weight if it were not for the fact that it is seriously suspected that Dallas College is suffering more from that common malady known as “cold feet,” than from a burning altruistic longing to reform Oregon athletics.—Newberg Graphic. While Dallas College takes care of the cold feet, we rise to remark that the Graphic has made a very unexpected admission that there could be anything altruistic in a desire to reform football. T. M. Witten of this place and F. II. < aidwell of North Yambill have made a trade of drug stores, the exchange hav­ ing already teen made.
