Robertson, aged 75 years and 16 days. The funeral services will be held at the residence at 2 o'clock Saturday aft ernoon, Februnry 5, conducted by Rev. Carl Elliott, in the absence of Rev. Har ry Marshall, pastor of the Baptist church, of which Mrs. Robertson was a member. Interment in tho Odd Fellows' cemetery. Henrietta Harl was born in Roc' ford, Illinois, .Tanunry IS, 1841, and was married to John P. Robertson in Center- ville, Iowa, August .10, 1800. They moved to Kansas in 10, and in 187'" came to Oregon, arriving in Salem in June of that year, and residing here ever since. Three children survive her: Mrs. Mildred R. Brooks, Miss Mabel Robert son and Dr. Charles H. Robertson: nnd also threo grandchildren, nil of Salem. In the passing of Mrs. Robertson the family loses a tender and loving wife and mother and the community a wo man whose life work and example left a marked impress upon it. Exceptionally bright, broad minded and generous, with unbounded faith i" the goodness of mankind and a charity for the weakness of others (lint was almost divine, her feet were swift in the paths of mercy, her heart quickly responsive in sympathy for the sorrow ing and her handB ever open to aid th' needy nnd distressed. In her almost forty-five years resi dence here she had surrounded herself with loyal and loving friends who wil learn with.jincere sorrow that she has passed over to the other side. A "Mother in Israel" has departed and with her to the other sido she car ries a long record of generous deeds, of tender sympathies, of kindly nets and generous aid and help that will long be remembered here, nnd there be placed by the sido of that the angel left when in Ben Adhem's vision "lie wrote and vanishd." Her good deeds here, will liko the prayers gathered by Sun dnlphon: "Change into flowers in his hands; Into garlands of purple and red ; And beneath the great arch of the por tal, Through tho streets of the city im mortal Is wafted tho fragrance they shed."

Raker, of Chicago and New York, president of James H. Baker & Co., wholesale dealers iu canned salmon, prunes, apricots and dried fruits of ill kinds, was in the city yesterday con ferring with the Pruger Pruit company. The firm of which Mr. Baker is pres ident handles exclusively Pacific coast products and this was his anuuul visit to the coast. "Oregon prunes are getting in better repute," said Mr. Biker, "through t'.ie consistent efforts of packers to put up j a better grade of product. Growers! must get a uniform system of drying,. in order that the product sold to the packers will bo uniform." Hince tho packers arc taking more care, tiio Oregon prunes now comparo favorably with the California product. As for tho future of the business, Mr. Baker wis of the opinion that it was especially bright for prunes, whenever the war in Kurope ends, as Germany would become a heavy buyer and ab sorb the greater part of the Oregon product. Mr. Baker represents one of the largest shippers of prunes in tho cast. In order that Oregon prunes might compete successfully with the Califor nia product, he insisted th.it growers must do their share in a uniform sys tem of drying. This was the first, es sential if Oregon was to successfully compete with California.
