EDITOR DEMOCRAT:
Eighty-six years ago to-day my mother
Mary Richardson Walker was born at
Baldwin, Maine She married my ia
ther March 3. 1888, and that same day
they started on their bridal tour that did
not end until they reached Waiilit- pu,
commonly known as Whitman's Mission,
August %, 1888. The journey from the
Missouri river to Mhitman's was made
on horseback. My father, Rev. Elkanah
Walker, died Nov. 81, 1877, aged ~.
Ny mother still lives at Forest Grove,
physically quite strong but her mind has
sadly failed. There was terrible strain
on that mind through those early years.
She often laid swake nights crossing the
plains expecting to hear the war whoop
OF hostile savages. 1t was a terrible
blow TO us when the news came of the
Whitman massacre. well remember
the evening OF Dec. /. 1916, when one of
our Spokane Indians brought TIE tidings,
which came in a note sent back hy J. III.
Stanley, who had left onr mission AT
Tshimakani for Whitman's to paint the
portraits OF Mr.. and Mrs. Whitman. He
narrowly ESCAPED being murdered when
within few miles OF Whi;man's and
sent back his Indian guide with this
note. CYRrs III. WALKER

PENSION FRAUDS
Will Be Exposed if the List Is Pub
lished

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-Pension
Commissioner Evans, in an interview,
states some of his reasons for wanting to
publish the pension list. He said:
1.-THE cry of pension frauds has become
so common of late that the people
regard it seriously nowadays, and it is
for the express purpose of proving the
fallacy of this charge that l recon-
mended the publication of complete
list showing each pensioner, his address,
disability and amount of pension re-
ceived.
This will do more to stop this idle
chatter than anything this department
can say. The list will show why this
woman or that man is being supported
by the government.
But, best of all, it will bring to light
the frauds which do exist We all know
there are frauds, but l say, without fear
of contradiction, that in no business en-
terprise, where so large an amount of
money is disbursed, are there so few
mistakes.
THE cost of publishing this pension
list may amount to 100000, but who can
estimate what it will save the United
States in unearthing frauds? The pub
Heation will stir up neighborhoods and
set the gossips to work. They will de-
tect the frauds and will notify u.s."

CALIFORNIA GAMERS
BEAT THE RECORD FOR SIZE OF
PACK
The Market Il Bear and the Seasons
Work May Yield
Little Profit

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 25.-The Her
aid of Trade and Finance prints the fol-
lowing review of the canning industry Of
this State:
This years pack of canned fruits IL
the largest in the history of the industry.
1t is not only the largest pack, but stocks
in first hands at the close of the year are
smallest for years. The low prices at
which several kinds Of fruit, notably
apricots, were placed at the commence
ment Of the season contributed largely
to the big distributive demand. for 80
far as we are able to learn there has
been very little, if any, speculative buy
ing. Another thing which has con-
tributed to the exceptionally good de-
mand was the small crop of fruits IN
the new and old world, and wage-earn-
ers, as a rule being in better position
than for two or three years. The short
crop of peaches at the East created
big demand for California canned and
dried fruits, and although the pack was
fully up to 100000 cases. yet the supply
now on hand is very light, particularly
of lemon cling peaches. The apricot
pack was also quite large, going over
400, 900 cases. The following is an au-
thentic estimate of the total pack by
counties of the canneries in the state:

Owing to the recent bereavement of the
