OBITUARY.

MoSIER Or, Nov. %. 1898.
Death removed one of the kindest
hearted old gentlemen that ever came
to Mosier. when on Sunday. Nov. y,
Samuel Evans. breathed his last. in
the presence of his aged wife with
whom he has lived for 52 years. two ct
his sons and some of his grandchildren.
He had been in robust, sturdy health
up to his final illness, and gave up
only after protracted and obstinate
struggle. He was ever cheerful, even
| during his long sickness, and when he
became SO weak as scarcely to be able
to speak above whisper, would cheer
lily reply to the question of friends
who would come to visit him as TO bis
condition, swell. believe | am
little better today" His face beamed
with kindness and charity for his fell
low men, leaving thereon settled ex-
pressisn of benevolent goodness that
was in no way disguised by the accumu-
lating wrinkles and marks of age which
time bequeaths. Samuel Evans comes
from family who are proud to tell OF
an exploit of one of the mothers of our
republic, when the nation was in Its
infancy, struggling for existence and
its own autonomy. The father OF
Samuel Evans was babe pre- naturely
born through the heroic effort made by
its mother to warn the revolutionary
army led by Washington, that tho
British were besieging Georgetown.
The subject of our sketch was also on
terms of intimacy with Abraham
Lincoln and has stopped often at Lin
coln's house when the martyred presi- !
dent was yet a studentln Bloomington,
III.
Samuel Evans was born in Huron |
county, NY, April q, 1922, and was of
English descent. His parents immi- |
grated to Illinois when he was three |
years of age and built the first house !
in Bloomington. In 1854 he was mar
ried to Evelyn King in Champagne
county. The family moved to Missouri
in 1859, and in 1873 TO Summer county,
Kansas. He was one of the Oklahoma
"boomers," and was in that memorable
rush for land when the territory was
thrown open to settlement. Through
out all his experiences, his fortunes
and his visitudes he has remained
steadfast Christion, an exemplary
citizen and firm friend to all worthy
of friendship. He has been member
of the Missionary Baptist church for
25 years. His cherry manner, pre-
served to the day of his death, has shed
many sunbeams of hope across the
path way OF those with whom he has
cnanced to associate, and his purse has
eyer been oDen to the demands of
charity. He leaves besides the wife
who has shared his joys and sorrows
for over half a century, nine children
living. One son George Evans was
killed in 1888 at Johns mill while
young man. A FRIEND.

A Prospect OF Econo my.

The Oregonian seems to believe the
next session OF the legislature will be
less extravaganJ than the last, and
that the members of the two houses
will try to get along with 40 clerks in
stead of l50, which We sincerely hope
will be the case. Regarding the pos
sible economy of the body, the Ore
gonian says:
There is one thing that appears
evident. This is, the clerical force of
the next legislature will not be based
on the number employed in the past.
The incoming session will be under
control of The republicans, and
economy in public affairs promises to
be their watchword. There will not
be SO many soft snaps, for either men
or women, and many clerkships main
tanned in the past are likely to be en-.
tirely dispensed with. Instead of $50
clerks, there may be not more than 40,
and these positions will be given
mostly to men who are fully competent
to perform the duties expected of them.
Senators or Representatives will hardly
dare to put their wives or daughters
on the state payroll as legislative
clerks, when it may be shown that all
such alleged service is entirely un-
npoos,arv .,

The Outlook for Wheat

The shortage in the 1896 wheat croI
of India and Australia has caused an
unusual demand for American wheat
and it is evident that all of this years
crop will be consumed before the next
crop is ready for market. consequently
prices should be high again next year.
Commenting on the wheat outlook,
The Mark Lane Express of the 23d
says:
1--WE expect that the decrease of the
French wheat acreage in 1897, owing
to the lateness of the seeding season,
will be much larger than the increase
in this country. The sowings of Azima
wheat in Russia are admitted to be
smaller than usual. The rise in prices
has stimulated the Russian markets
and the line of spring Ghirka sowings
is likely to Offset the Azima deficiency.
We must await further news from
India before concluding that the
drought is over An injury has been
in any event done and there cannot be
any wheat available for export prior
to April, 1898. Australia is importing
Califor MIA wheat and has no surplus
available for shipment to Europe"

NEW USES FOR TURF.

u Il Now Made Into Paper, and Also
Into Cloth.
Paper is being manufactured from
straw, wood, corn stalks and innumer-
able other articles. Now NJ. Beau
mont, Frenchman, comes forward and
proposes to employ turf in the manu-.
facture of fabrics, and th;.ss, 100, with
out previous spinning. Among the
methods said to be practical for this
purpose, one consists in taking turf OBJ
tained and prepared by any convenient
process, and ofa staote of fiber suitable
for working, and twisting it either by
rowing or rolling, SO as to give il the
appearance of a coarse cord, and this
rove is afterward woven SO as to form
q fabric of it adapted for use as carpet
ing, jacketing for steam pipes and boil
ers, packing cloth, etc.
Another method consists In forming
with the fibers of turf sort of wad-
ding of any thickness whatever,
adapted to The kind of fabric to be
produced, and then quilting it SO as to
form squares or any kind of designs,
or figures, or even without symmetry
or regularity; this quilting firmly unites
the constituent fibers of the wadding,
converting the latter into true cloth,
which is both thick and flexible, and
adapted. for use in the manufacture OF
sovers Of all kinds. wrappers, etc.

THANKSGIVING IN rHE, DALLEs.

-. = thankful Eor.
Thanksgiving day was bright, frosty
and crisp, and though it was none too
comfortable on the streets, 1t was Il
day of general thanksgiving in The
Dailes. Most Of the bust cess houses
were closed, aud the city was given
over to the observance of the holiday.
Thanksgiving services were con-
Quoted at ST. Paul's Episcopal church
by Rev. J. N. T. Goss. rector, and
| union services at the Congregational
| church by Rev. L. Gray. assisted ReVs,
Skag -, Wood and Curtis.
In his address Mr.. Gray dwelt upon
the benefits OF the free school systems
of this country and the absolute separ-
alton of church and state, pairing
the systems here with those that exist
in some of the European nations.
where church and state are inseper-
able. The compa -ison heT drew was
indeed favorable to America, and he
held the advantages accruing from this
system hero. as one of the things for
which we should be thankful.
DIR. Goss' sermon was devoted princi-
pally to the history of thanksgiving.
He showed that it WAS by no means of
modern origin. having been insti-
tuted thousands of years ago. it having
heeu custom with the ancient Egypt
ians to set apart certain days as gen.
eral thanksgiving, and this custom was
also practiced by the English for many
years before it was established by the
Pilgram fathers in America.
After the religious services at the
churches had been concluded, the
citizens of The Dalles generally re-
paired to their homes where they en-
joyed the good cheer produced by an
abundance of fat turkey and other in
viting eatables.
The amusement during the after
noon was the skating rink where many
whiled away the hours gliding over a
smooth floor on rollers, and in the |
evening large number of Dallesites |
at the Vogt to enjoy the |
and ball given by the |
Red Men. Prof. Reads exposition of |
spiritualism was indeed grand, and
the Red Men as we'll as their guests. |
were pleased that his services had |
been secured. The ball which fol-
lowed was all that the most devoted
deciple of Terpiscore could wish. The
was perfect, and the
music was of that high order always
furnished by Prof. Birgfeld's orchestra.
Thanksgiving day was
spent in The Dalles and
most happily.

Probably an Unfounded Rumor.

The rumor that Portland is to have
another morning newspaper is again
in circulation. 1t is said that several
prominent men are figuring on the
proposition, and will arrive at some
definite conclusion in day or two. If
the paper is started, it will not be
lacking in funds to push it along until
it can be placed on o paying basis.
With the necessary amount of money,
all the brains and ability required
could be furnished. Report has it that
typesetting machines will be ordered
from the east this week and the new
enterprise launched as soon as possi-
BILE. 1t cannot be said authentically
at this time just who is at the back of
the movement. but they are all sound
business men who are not accustomed
to trifling. It will be a first-class
newspaper.

The Skull OF a aiastodon.

Sunday afternoon, says the Salem
Journal, E. FL. Huffman observed in q
shallow pool of water beneath the
South Commercial Street bridge, the
skull Of some large animal. With the
assistance of two bystanders Mr.. Huff
man carried the skull from the creek
to his livery stable near by. 1t strongly
resembles the skull of a mastodon
Although the exterior parts are badly
rotted away, enough remains to justify
the conclusion that it is certainly the
skull of that animal. Its upper surface
measures 3x2 feet and the skull weighs
about l50 pounds. AS to its discovery
there remains but one conclusion-that
the recent high water unearthed it as
it is highly improbable that the force
of the current was sufficient to trans.
port it from some point up the valley
Mr.. Huffman will no doubt realize a
handsome little sum for his find by
disrosing OF it to some meuseum or
collector of relics. While these skulls
have been frequently found in the " il.
lamette Valley one seldom compares
with the one found in Salem yesterday,
either in dimensions or in weight.
