A GLOWING EULOGY.
Eloquent Tribute to the Memory of a
Former Now WhatcOmite.

Eloquent Tribute to the Memory of a
Former New Whatcomite.
John King McMillin, father of Rev.
John B. McMillin, late pastor of the
Trinity M. E. church of Whatcom, and
Hon. John S. McMillin, of Roche Har-
Dor, died at Lafayette, Indiana, No
vember 10. The old gentleman was
well known in New Whatcom and so a
few extracts from a beautiful eulOgy,
delivered by Rev. G. w. Switzer at the
funeral will be gratifying to the many
local friends of the departed and of the
family:
"John King McMillin was born in
Tazewell county, Virginia, September
%, 1907. He began early to show
the strong traits of character that
marked his after life. He taught school,
travelled and traded and by industry
and frugality managed to buy as his
first land 400 acres, now known as the
Thull and Price land. January
Is, 1888, he was married to Sarah Ann
Stafford, Newton, Indiana. To
them were born eight children.
"After his marriage, he united with
the Methodist Episcopal church. His
membership at the time of his death
was with the church Of Romney, where
he had placed it while staying with his
n-law, John Loafland. His con-
version was to him the beginning of
life whose development was to partake
more and more of the spiritual and less
and less of the earthly. This was the
hope of his life. 1t was this that made
his sun to set in perfect tranquility. A
golden sunset indeed. While busy
with the cares of life, in the prime of
his active manhood, he gave himself
without limit Of hours to temporal
affairs. Though he was man of eX-
ceeding timidity, yet he would gather
his family and all the members of his
household together and kneel before
God in supplication and thanksgiving.
. Wherever he was, in Indiana, or Illi-
nois, or on the Pacific coast, his face
was toward the rising sun of his inn
Z. [ cannot pay too high q
respect to his character as a citizen.
He had in himself the highest qualities
of manhood. Physically he was con-
spicuous for splendid body-erect and
noble appearing. He stood head
above his fellows in general, and in his
character he seemed to be as large as
his physique. His bearing was not
more Lofty than his spirit. wish I could

was present in his life. He was prac
teal example of splendid system of
moral economics. Such principles put

Keeping Fall and Winter Apples.

. In many localities i'll Indiana there
arc often more apples grown than can
be disposed of profitably at the time of
gathering, and so serious loss to the
growers is the result. Much of this loss
could be prevented by proper hand
ling of the fruit and by providing a
suitable place for storing until the con-
gested state of the market was relieved.
In order to keep well, apples must be
picked at the proper time. Care must
be exercised in handling to prevent
bruises, ca efully asserting the..ripe from
the unripe, the perfect from the imper-
feet, and storing in cool, dry place,
with plenty of pure air free from all
odors of decaying vegetables or other
substances.
The average fruit-grOwer does not eX-
ercisc CROUCH caution in handling and
asserting hi; fruit.
The degree of maturity will have
much TO do with the keeping qualities.
\ late fall or winter apple should be
mature, but not ripe, when it is picked,
if it is expected to be kept for any con-
siderable time. The process of ripening
is only the first stage of decay, and if
| this is allowed to continue before pick
ing, till the apple is ripe, or mellow,
this breaking down process has pro-
ceeded SO far that it is n difficult mat
ter to arrest it. AS soon, therefore, as
the stem will separate freely from it's
union with the branch, the apple is
sufficiently mature for storing.
The proper temperature for keeping
apples is as nearly IS degrees Fahren-
heit, as it is possible to keep it, and, in
order to maintain this, it will often be
| necessary in this climate to provide a
separate place for storing the fruit, as
the average cellar under the dwelling
house is wholly unfit for this purpose.
If the cellar consists of several COM
partments. so that one can be shut off
completely from the others and the
temperature in this kept below 40 de-
grees, it will answer the purpose very
| well. If this cannot be done, q cheap
storage house may be built in cOnnec-
ton with the icehOuse, by building a
70 )m underneath, having itsurrOunded
with ice on the sides and overhead,
with facilities for draining underneath,
keeping the air dry by means of chic
ride of calcium placed on the floor in
an open water-tight vessel, such as a
large milk crock or pan. In this way
the temperature may bc kept very near
the freezing point The year round, and
apples may be kept almost indefinitely

WEST SOUND NEWS NOTES.

Mr.. Weidc, of Fairhaven, one of Or
cas- islands late ranchers was here last
week making friendly calls Oh his old
neighbOrs.
Thanksgiving at West Sound passed
off very quietly. We certainly have a
great deal to be thankful for and a
good appetite for turkey, also digest
i've organs enough to do them justice.
The Thanksgiving party given at
Mr.. Peter Laplaut's OH Thursday eve
ming last was a very pleasant affair for
all who attended. Good mu3ic and
an abundant supply OF good things to
eat.
Tt is to be hoped that Governor elect
Rogers will not forget some OF the GOOD
work done by his beloved followers III
this county. He should certainly give
them a show now as it is the last OPP
portunity they will have.
Rev. VIM. J Dickson and Mr.. Smith
of East Sound, were with us at our
first Christian EndeavOr meeting held
at the church last Sabbath. The meet
ing was conducted by Mr.. Smith and
his remarks were very appropriate and
to the point. Come again.
The remarkably cold weather we
have been having can now be account
ed for, We see by your East Sound
correspondent that Mr.. Adams has
gone to that glorious free silver country,
Mexico. No dependence can be placed
unon the weather hereafter.
The recent cold snap gave some OF
the apple houses in this vicinity a
very severe test. Jack Frost has begun
to get his freezing work in on us early
this season. November '96 was the
coolest we have experienced in many
,,oors SCRIBE.

A new and useful idea in tree plant
ing circles is that which comes from a
Colorado tree planter. 1t is with refer
ence to the digging of the holes for re-
ceiving the trees. which, as all practi-
cal tree planters know, is one of the
most laborious and particular parts
connected with the undertaking. This
new idea in this connection consists
simply in the use of dynamite. A sharp
crowbar is brought into requisition for
probing down to the depth of three or
four feet, when a half or whole stick of
dynamite with cap and fuse attached
is placed at the bottom. Fine dirt is
first placed on the dynamite, and when
nearing the top it stamped solidly.
Set fire to the fuse, and the dynamite
will quickly do the rest.

In early winter carefully inspect
every cherry tree on the place and cut
each piece of black knot, taking with
it at least two inches of the sound
wood below. Burn every piece cut out.
No fruit crop realized better for the
producer i'm this state last season than
cherries, and the few who will con-
tinue to cultivate the crop will realize
still better profits as the increase of
black knot and neglect of the grower
combine to lessen the product.
