The funeral of B. T. Conroy took place
at p. m. today from the Catholic
church, Rev. a. Bronsgeest officiating.
The funeral was attended by the Wood
men in a body, and almost the entire
railroad force turned out.
Today is the anniversary of the battle
of Bunker Hill. This was the second
great battle of the Revolution, and has
been celebrated yearly in Massachusetts
and the eastern states with as much
ardor as the Fourth of July.
Grasshoppers are making their ap.
pearance in large numbers on 15-Mlle,
but have done no damage as yet. The
Oregon grasshopper is not SO large or
voracious as the Kansas variety, any,
way, and seldom do extended harm.
Mr.. and Mrs. S. J. Hanna were in the
city today from Boyd and called at The
Chronicle Office. Mr.. Hanna states
that the early varieties of spring wheat
are heading up nicely, and that fall
wheat has already headed. A rain
would help to fill the grain, and would
do much good, but fair crops are assured
without it.
All is not vexation of spirit in the life
of the militia boys. At : the coming

the first apportonment made during
the Revolutionary war there were 20
members of the Assembly. BY the appor

to los. In 1908 it was 112, and in 1922 it
was raised to 12S. From that time until
the amendments to the state constitu-

years ago, i2S was the standard repre-
sentation. 1t is now $50, and an entire
Assembly is to be elected this year, the
