AnOth her Pioneer Has Passed over.

James Pattison, who died at an
early hour on the morning of the 9th
inst, was one OF the oldest residents oil
our city and county. He was born in
Randolph county, Illinois, Dec. %,
1924. He crossed the plains to this
coast with his parents and five broth
ers, in 1919, settling at Oregon City.
The succeeding year Mr.. Pattison's
family started for Puget Sound, but
remained for several months on the
Cowlitz river. When they resumed
their journey, it was in the depths of
winter, with two feet of snow on the
trail. In crossing at New Market (now
Tumwater), they swan their cattle
over the Deschutes and cut trail to
Olympia, which had been plated as a
town. The family found habitation
on farm east of the town, distant a
few miles, where they resided till 1859,
thence moving to town. Deceased
leaves an aged widow and two child
REM. X. Pattison and Mrs. Brad Da-
Wis, both of this city.
The funeral rites took place at the
family residence, Sunday afternoon, in
the presence of large assemblage of
people from town and country, among
whom were quite a number of our re-
naming pioneers whose ranks are so
rapidly thinning by the onward march
of time. Afterwards a long concourse
of citizens followed the remains to
Odd Fellows cemetery where inter-
ment was made.

Crop Report.

The past week was without rain
and was very warm for the season
the temperatures ranging from two to
ten degrees above the normal. The
days were sunshiny, as rule, although
the sunlight was partially obscured by
light smoke. There have been nine
successive days without rain, which is
very unusual for the fore part OF
September. Only about one-half OF
the seasonal rainfall has occurred
since March 1st.
The weather during the week just
ended was perfect for threshing grain
picking the hop crop, and gathering
early fall fruit, which are the principal
pursuits of the farmers at this time
A considerable amount of blowing
and sowing of fall wheat was done

DEATH BY STORM AND WAVE.

y London dispatch of Wednesday
states that terrible hurricane had
swept over Barbados, in the Windward
group of the Lesser Antilles. Two
hundred persons had been wounded
and 10000 rendered homeless.
According to the latest reports from
st. Lucia, storm which broke ont on
the island developed almost unpre-
cedented violence, being accompanied
by Il tidal wave and tremendous rains.
Numerous land slides were caused and
many houses, bridges and cocoa estates
were destroyed. At lease twelve lives
had been lost.
Guadalupe, the French island in
the Leeward group, had experienced
very heavy weather. Nineteen deaths
are reported
A boat from the island of St.
Vincent, hundred miles west of
Barbados, arrived Wednesday at the
island OF Grenada and reports that
st. Vincent has experienced the most
violent and destructive cyclone every
known. Kingston, the capital of st.
Vincent, is totally destroyed. 1t is
estimated that 300 lives have been lost
in that island, and that $500 people
are homeless. The bodies of the dead
are being buried in trenches. Thou
sands are starving or being fed at the
public expense. The amount Of
property destroyed in st. Vincent can
not yet be estimated. Every small
house is down, and many large ones
have been destroyed The demolished
buildings include churches, stores, and
almost all the State buildings.
Three large ships are ashore on the
Windward coast, and many smaller
vessels are stranded.

THE extraditiou of Mrs. BOtkin, of
San Francisco, on a charge of murder
of Mrs. Cunning and her sister, at
Dover, Del, by means of poisoned
candy sent through the mails, still
hangs fire, pending the accumulation
of evidence. This seems to be ample
however, to fix reasonable belief of
guilt, but her lawyers are trying to
defeat extradition by alleging that she
is not fugitive from justice. Gov.
Budd will soon decide that point.

quently inserted in Havana newspapers
asking for bids for these concessions and

however, has instructed General Wade,
chairman Of our evacuation commission
at Havana, to inform the officials OF the
Spanish autonomist government that the
United States strongly disapproves of the
proposed disposition of the concessions
and franchises and to ask that all negoti-

Wade is ordered to stop these proceedings
