He was one of Tillamook's highly respected citizens and successful dairyman. He came to Tillamook county in 1870, where he resided until a few years ago, when lie moved to Aloha, where he died. The remains were brought to Tilla mook on Wednesday, and the funeral held today, the religious services be ing in the M. E. church, the Masons of this city having clrarge of the funeral and attended the services in a body. Benjamin Henry Hathaway was a soldier in the Civil war, and for many vcars one of the most industrious and thoroughing farmers of Tilla mook County. He had a long and -busv career. A self-made man in the fullest sense implied by the tcjm, hie life record well illustrates the virtue of patriotism, and shots the success to be attained by honest industry and prudent thrift. A native of Lewis county, N, Y., he was born May J, 1811. a son of Isaac Hathaway. His paternal grandfather, Henry Hatha way, a native 01 cngianu, cmigraicu him. Mr. Hathaway married first in Lew is county, N. Y., who died in Tilla mook Oregon. Of the two children born of their union, one, a daughter, died in infancy, and the o'thcr child John Henry survives him. Mr. Hath away married his second wife, iu Til lamook, Mrs. Rowcna (Trobridgc) Wilson, who was born in Ohio, the daughter of David Trobridgc, a na tive of Vermont, and one of the pioneer farmers of Ohio. Mrs. Hath away's first husband, John C. Wilson, a native of Pennsylvania, was killed in the Union army, in 1862, near Cor- I inth, Miss., and she subsequently came to Oregon with her son John C. Wilson. Politically Mr. Hathaway was a zealous advocate of the priuci- pals of the Republican party, and j served as school director and as road I supervisor. He was a member of the Masonic order, belonging to tne muc Lodtrc. No. V7. of Tillamook, and was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic. He belonged to the Meth odist .Episcopal church. "Reasonable Preparedness" Favored. Hannibal, Mo. Speaker Champ Clark, of tho house Of representatives, declared Iu an address here that ho, "like every other American with com mon sense," Van opposed to "peace t any price." On the other hand, he said be also was against "bankrupting the country tn build battleships and maintain amlea." Lone Bandit Rob 40 Men, Tacona, Was.

The high. wayma then escaped Into U rby woods. ' see the wuter bubbling up In the lake. This Is also untrue. I Hhould judge the lake to be about a mile from the head of the canyon, and ns to water bubbling up in the lake, I must say that the statement la absolutely false. Third, I havo heard that the lake Tills up und then partly empties In an under-ground cave, and, that this causes the noise which people allege to hear, who gut frlghtenedjUway. Now there may be some truth about this in the winter time when there Is an a bun dance of water in the lake; but It is surely not so in the summer time. The lake when we were there was just quiet and peaceable as possible. Fourth, I have heard that If a person was out in the middle of thn lake In boat or on a log, that tree tops could be seen down in the water. Thia Is also partly true. Trunks of trees can be seen, coming a little wajs above the water, in some places. Fifth, I had heard that a trapper once partly drained the lake, in order to better catch musk rats and minks. This would simply be impossible for ono or two men to do, as anybody would know, who had eycr been there himself. t Now there is just one more thing thaj. I wish to tell about, and that Is the saying 1 have heard, about there being two trees which rubbed toget her and caused a noise which fright ened some people away. This May possibly be the case, whenever It le real windy I do not know., ' t ,k Well after we had been there while my brother got sleepy and so he1 laid down on the ground and slept for about 16 or 20 minutes.
