Death of n Pioneer.

DIED.-Mrs. Nancy Marks, who at the
time Of her death, lacked bu; span or
being a een;enarian. Deceased was born
in Brook county, Virginia. Oct. 5th,
1904. Her parents emigrsted 20 Indiana
in an early day. She was united in mar
riage 10 John Marks, May sih. ls77, in
Washington county, Indiana She con-
tinned 70 reside in this state until 1852.
when the family came to Linn county.
Oregon, locating two miles west of Leh-
anon. Her husband died Nav 3, 1881,
at the advanced age OF So years. Mrs.
Marks continued 20 reside on the old
homestead until her death, March 81,
1885. The family consisting OF six chill
dren. with the exception of sn only
daughter. who died while crossing the
plains to this country, are now living in

Ii will hs remembered by the many
friends of the deceased that she and her
husband celebrated their golden wedding
in 1887.
Mrs. Marks identified herself with the

sistent christian and loyal member o.
the United Presbyterian church wher

Red Crown Matters.

Mr.. Isom states that he never author
lied the transfer of the books and ac
counts to Wadhams & Co., and that il
was done without his knowledge.
ALI farmers holding wheat receipts in
the Red Grown Mills Co., are requested te
| meet at the court house in Albany on
Saturday, April 6, at p. M, on import.
ant business connected with the claims
held against said mill company. A full
attendance is desired. All are requested
to bring their wheat or warehouse re-
ceipts. Signed by farmers committee.
The report that has been generally
made that storers of wheat who had OBJ
tanned flour and feed on their account
would be required to pay for the former
the DEMocRAT is informed is absolutely
illfounded, and that no one will be ex-
pected to pay any account offset by
wheat.
The committee on investigation will
meet tomorrow as announced heretofore,
and while it is not probable that a Joint
stock company will be formed it is de-
sired that the impression that small
holders of wheat would be left,in the cold
in case OF organization, should be Cor
rected. 1t was the purpose of the COM
mittee in case of reorganization to make
provision for small holders the same as
big ones. How this could be done the
DEMOCRAT hardly understands; but this
is stated as fact, and one the DENocRAT
is glad to chronicle.
1t must certainly be very unpleasant
affair for Chas. Pfeiffer to get mixed up
in the Red Crown Mills difficulties. We
understand that he holds only one share
of stock, being 500, in the concern, and
this he took only to accommodate the
parties who wished to incorporate a
stock company, it requiring three per-
sons TO incorporate, otherwise he had
nothing whatever to do with the man
agement OF the business. This Mr..
Pfeiffer says is his first experience of
coming in conflict with the law, and it
is hoped by his friends that it may not
cause him great deal Of trouble.

Crop Report.

Mr.. Pague sends us the following ,r
report for the past week:
Vegetation made satisfactory growth,
though warmer would have produced q
more rapid but not more healthful
growth. The frosts did but little real
damage to the fruit buds. The rainfall
was sufficient to put ground in good con-
dition for plowing and seeding. Peaches,
pears, apricots and plums are generally
in bloom, particularly in the southern
counties. The fruit trees, at this present
writing, are in excellent condition and
continued favorable weather will result
in heavy crop. Hops are up and grow.

stooled and rooted. Sowing of spring
wheat and oats is being rapidly pushed to
completion. The lambing season is here
and there is every appearance that q
large proportion of lambs is being saved
The season opens auspiciously in Ore.

products and good yields.

Two ALBANY Trick PoNIEs.-There is
now at the fair grounds a couple of
trained ponies which viii compare for
inte' 'ligence with the best horses ever
seen in any of the horse shows that
travel through the country. They be-
long to Mr. Ed. Moshier, son OF the well
known trainer. Last year young Mo-
shier was in drug store in Portland.
On account of poor health he had to get
out doors, so he came up here with his
father, and besides assisting in the gen.
eral training of the large string of trot-
ters has been making = speciality of
teaching tricks to couple ponies, one a
black and the other sorrel. with white
name, formerly owned by F. W. Blum
berg. The ponies display the intelli-
gence of a human being. Among the
tricks they get an ink bottle off table,
then paper, then pen, merely upon re-
quest. In the same way either one will
bring everything in the room; walking
on their hind feet is merely pastime.
They know their politics and many
other things as cute. Mr.. Moshier has
proven a genius at the business and GER
tainly has found his calling.
