OBITUARY.-The mother of Capt James
T. Gray, of the steamer Lurline died at her
home near Astoria on Wednesday of last
week. She was born at Champlain, N. Y,
January 2, 1910, and was one of the few
heroic women who first braved the dangers
Of the overland trip to the Pacific coast in
the year 1887, to aid in establishing Chris
tian missions among the Indians at Walla
Walla, Spokane and Lapwai. Mrs. Gray
and her husband, w. H. Gray, were provi-
dentially absent at the time of the Whit
man massacre, and so escaped the cruel fate
of DIR. Whitman and his companions-which
destroyed the Presbyterian mission at Walla
Walla Mr.. and Mrs. Gray settled near AS.
toria, Ogn., where they raised family of sew
eral sons and daughters. Two of the former
now hold important positions in the employ
Of the o. K. & N. Co. One of the daughters
married Jacob Kamm, Esq, one Of the most
wealthy and influential citizens of Oregon;
and the other is the highly esteemed wife of
Frank Tarbell, ESQ.,, late Treasurer of this
Territory. Mrs. Gray leaves large circle
of relatives and friends, who esteemed and
loved her we'll living-and now mourn her

SILVER WEDDING. Last Saturday was the
25th anniversary of the wedding OF Mr.. and
Mrs. H. H. Gridley. A few days before
some of their friends entered into a con-
spiracy with their neighbors to go and sur.
prise the quarter century couple on the even
ing of that day. Accordingly about seven
o'clock, some seventy-tive people of the city
Of Vancouver, without regard to age, sex,
or previous condition Of political opinion,
loaded down with baskets Of goodies, UNI
brellas and lanterns, proceeded in body to
the family residence, and astonished the in
mates by taking unceremonious possession
Of the premises. In due time the necessary
preliminaries for wedding were completed,
and the Rev. A. S. Nicholson went through
the major portion of the marriage service,
the blushing bride and groom responding
becomingly, and at the conclusion the offici.
ating minister cleverly announced that if
they were never before married they were
now certainly united according to the laws
Of Washington Territory. At this moment
the back parlor doors were thrown open. and
the bride and groom were astonished with
the sight Of an an elegant silver table SER
vice, which was presented to them in neat
little speech by Rev. L. A. Banks in behalf
of their friends and neighbors Of Vancouver
Then the refreshments brought were served,
and enjoyed with relish. Mr.. Gridley
made some remarks. stating his appreciation
Of the kindness of the people. All in all it
was complete surprise to Mr.. and Mrs.
Gridley, and the occasion Of jolly good
time until the approach of the midnight
hour, when the last Of the people departed,
with the satisfaction Of having done neat
aud praiseworthy act.

According to statements unofhciSl
but apparently authentic, the revisers
Of the New Testament have alterations
which will excite some CONSERVATION
and not little regret among all those
who are familiar with the authorized
version. In ths Lords Prayer the con
cludiDg petition, "Deliver US from evil, "
il changed into "Deliver us from the
evil one" EaIf dozen OF the most IA
miliar texts in the New Testament will
disappear altogether. the question
"What shall 1t profit man If he shall
gain the whole world and lose his own
soul ?" is metamorphosed into What
doth it profit man to gain the whole
world aud lose his own life'" "ia6ssh
is substituted tor "hell'' In two well.
knovp passages. The inscription on
the altar "To the Unknown God" will
read $40 an Unknown God" AparI
from these textual alterations and omis
