One cold day last fall while in ono of fine Northern Pacific cities saw box ear stannidg on q side track and man busy unloading something from a wag- on into the car. From distance I could not make out what kind of mer- ehandise he was handling, so I went pp to the wagon to satisfy my curios- ity. Fancy my amazement when found the .'merehandise" nothing moro nor less thaa-bones. Having found out what it was I at once pro ceeded with the illogical but natural inquiry. What [the dickens, I guess saidl is that stuff" With a deiiber- aIion about his reply almost equal to that shown by shy fair one when called upon to answer Gee question. the source of my information pulled off his mitlens, investigated his pipe, and, finding 1t empty, proceeded to ell it. You're . tenderfoot l guess" I pleaded guilty. Well, sir, those are bufRrlo bones. We farmers are all through with our fall blowing, and just now we're gathering theso things as fast as we eau and sell 'em. What's done with 'emP We can sell all we Can gather right here, and get $S . ton for them. They're shipped to St Louis, and there they're ground up and sold for fertilizer. don't know whether the buffaloes was much obliged 10 us for driving 'em of from their old stamp iRg-ground, but any way the'ye left as their bopes as . kind of legacy and we make good uiIe Of 'em, sir. There ara two or three car-loads of buffalo bones shipped from here every day now, and will be till snow flies. Yes, they're shipped from most every place of any size al along this line as far as Bis marck. Well must get this load on. There are two or three other teams waiting their turn.

Died, March lst, 1888, near Pilot
Rock, Umatilla county, Oregon, Of con-
gestioA Of the brain, Jesse E. Benson.
Father Benson was born April S0th,
1923; was married in lS49 to Miss Emf
ly White; emigrated to this State in
1864, and settled on the Umatiiia Mead
ows, where he remained several years,
during which time his beloved compan.
ion departed this life December lst,

tian, she died in the triumphs Of a liv.
ing faith in Christ her Redeemer.
Four children survive the departed pa
rents and two have gone before.
Brother Benson was enc of the valua-
BILE members of the Pioneer Baptist
Church Of riIet Rock, Oregon. He
served the church as clerk fer several
years. He was a great friend to the
Sunday School work, and by vste of
the Sunday School workers in his swn
neighborhood he had served in the ca.
pacity Of superintendent of the Sunday
School, which office he filled to the per-
feet satisfaction of all concerned up to
the time of his death. During his briet
illness he woald frequently make inqui-
ry about the Sunday School, expressing
great anxiety for its future prosperity.
He was also elected by the voters OF
this county to the responsible Office of
County Commissioner for two terms,
which Office he filed with great credit
to himself and the people. He was not
in any sense of the word an Office seek.

truly a servant Of the people in every
capacity to which he was called to Off

deliberations.
The night of his death his only daugh
ter living, Mrs. Mary B. johnson, ad
