Death Of q Pioneer.

Hon. ]. II. Long, of Chehalis, died
Monday night in Portland, shortly
after undergoing a surgical operation.
]. II. Long was born in Columbus,
Ohio, Nov. q, 1916. He was son of
w. II. Long, who, until his death five
years ago, was, for many years, a resi-
dent of Portland. Mr.. Long had been
for many years one of the most active
and prominent men of his section,
both in business and politics. He was
one of the leading Republicans of the
State. In 1892 and in 1896 he was
frequently mentioned as a candidate
for Governor. He came to this
country in 1865, having walked, bare
footed, across the plains, driving an
OK team for his board. He died one
of the largest property owners of his
section, and the estate which he left
to his wife and children is a produc-
tive one, practically free from in.
cumbrances.
Mr.. Long was a prominent Repub-
lican and has held many honorable
positions.
He was twice married. His first
wife, whom he married at Claquato,
March 5, 1868, Deborah w. Hodgdon,
member of an old and highly es-
teemed pioneer family, died six years
ago. Six children were born to them
Florence, now Mrs. W. b. Allen, of
Tacoma; Charles, deceased; Fred,
Stanley, Josephine and Harry Long.
Four years ago Mr.. Long married
Miss Henrietta Stewart, of Chehalis.
She and their little daughter, Letitia,
survive him.
Mr.. Long left five brothers and one
sister in Lewis county, namely {:
County Commissioner C. w. Long, J.
S. Long, I. j. Long, F. J. Long, A. j..
Long and Mrs. Duffy.
Mr.. and Mrs. Long went to Portland
last week, where Mr.. Long expected to
remain for some time in a hospital.
But neither he nor his friends sup
posed that his life was endangered by
the disease from which he suffered.

DEVICE RAISE THE WIND -
The Chamber Of Commerce Adopts
q Feasible Plan.

The Chamber OF Com merce Adopts
a Feasible Plan.
At the meeting of the Chamber OF
Commerce, last evening. in the Equity
court room, Mr.. Scobey, the President
presented modified proposition from
Mr.. Jackson for the preparation Of
Olympia stereopticon views to be used
in series of lectures to be delivered
at various points on the coast for the
purpose of making our resources
known to the throng that are now
rushing to the West. The proposition,
briefly stated, and which was accepted
by the Chamber, is: For the Cham
Der to furnish the theater two nights
and advertising, and Mr.. Jackson his
stereoptic outfit, pay all personal ex-
penses and deliver two lectures. one
on Klondike" and the other "a
Tramp Through Florida" the proceeds
of which will be equally divided be-
tween the Chamber of Commerce and
Mr.. Jackson, but the lecturers half is
to be deposited in this city and drawn
in instalments of $25, whenever he
submits evidence that he has deliv-
cred lecture in which the "Olympia"
slides have been made the subject
matter. Mr.. Jackson agrees to make
as many slides OF Olympia scenery as
the number ten will 60 into his share
of receipts that he earns twice over by
this arrangement. If the gross re-
ceipts of the two lectures, say, are
$500; the Chamber would receive $3.50,
and pay out say $50 for its share of
expenses, leaving 500 net gain. Mr..
jackson will receive $50 with a
string to it, pay all his personal ex-
penses and costs of operating the
stereopticOn, furnish fifteen views OF
local objects, and draw upon his own

A CASE OF NHUMANITY.
EDITOR STANDARD:

EDITOR STANDARD:
The worst kind of inhumanity is
that species of this sin which is
practiced against the unoficnding
members of the brute creation. An
aggravated case of this kind occurred
II few days ago in our city. On the
morning of one of those cold, rainy
days of last week, countryman drove
into town with load of wood and
stopped in that fated vicinity for over
worked horsehesh, the corner of Wash
ington and Fourth streets. In order
to I've out OF the way OF passing
vehicles he drove into the gutter and
left his horses to stand in pool OF
muddy water, little above the freezing
point, until Il chance customer might
come to purchase his load of wood.
But the customers failed to appear and
the horses stood in their tracks until
the shades of night began to settle
down upon the city, when the teamster
unhitched his patient animals and
drove them home, leaving the load of
fuel stuck in the mud for another
trial ut chance sale, the next day.
Thus, during the greater part of the
morning and the whole of that dreary
afternoon, the poor, unblanketed, rain
pelted horses had stood in the gutter,
alternating each other in the act of
appealing in plaintive whinnyings to
the mercy of passing citizens, but, of
course, all in vain. Now this practice
OF wood and bark dealers is of almost
daily occurrence; and it has been 60
ing on until it has gotten to be a
shame to civilization and an outrage
to the commonest instincts Of
humanity. If countrymen must bring
their loads of fuel to town and wait
for purchasers, then they should be
compelled by municipal regulation to
see that their teams are properly
cared for while they remain in town.
History tells us that in the bred
Scott case, Judge fancy, decided that
a negro had no rights which white
man was bound to respect. But the
astute Judge has gone to a higher
court, now, than the Supreme court
of the United States, and his opinion
is one OF the moral plumbers of by
gone age.
Proiting by the experience of the
past and lowered with higher sense
of what is right, let not the people of
this closing century make such mis-
take as to deny the lower animals
those inalienable rights accorded to
them by the Maker of us all. Until
some OF the good Samaritan women
of that great metropolis caused the
recent enactment of ameliorative
ordinances, the city of London was
known among cockneys as the "hell
for horses"
1t may Sound a little profane, but,
if there exists similar, fervid realm
for the unhappy horses of the State of
Washington, then that place is in its
own Capital city, between Third and
Fourth streets, and let nobody forget
the location.
Where are the good Samaritan
women of Olympia? Surely, they
should be able to do a much for our
beat tiful city as their British sisters
have done for London.

Child Study.

Supt. b. w. Brintnall's lecture on
"Child Study" at the Christian Church
last Friday evening, had most in
telligent and attentive hearing. The
audience was not only instructed but
was stimulated to do as we'll rs it
knew. The speaker said that it used
to be that only the senior class in
college ever studied psychology, but
now we are beginning to understand
that the primary teacher, first of all,
and every other teacher too, needs to
know all there is to be known about
the body, mind and soul of the child.
Heredity, environment and will, are
important factors in the outcome of
character. Yet strong as are heredity
and environment, will is stronger. No
child should sit down in the midst
of failure and ascribe it all to fate.
Let him make his fate. He can.
The little girl who overheard her
self described as hampered by GIN
herited tendencies" on finding out
that those facinating, big words, meant
that her fathers lazy selfishness bound
her as with chains, rebelled and said,
she would not have "bad inherited
tendencies" from her mother. She
succeeded, and is an example to all
who will. But that, after all, does not
remove the condemnation from those
who through ignorance or seltishness,
Indifference or vice, cause Zone of
these little ones to stumble"
The Professors close WAS master
full appeal TO all to work in this great
est of all fields, the field of childhood,
for the betterment of the world.
State Supt. F. A. Brown will soon
give Il lecture along these same lines.
Every parent and teacher should hear
him.

Nome But Ayers At the Worlds Fair

There was only one blood purifier
admitted at the Worlds Fair, Chicago.
1t was Ayers Sarsaparilla. All others
were shut out because they did not
meet the requirements of the Fair Com
missioners. Ayers Sarsaparilla only
was accorded the honor of an entry, be-
cause it did meet those require
ments. In other words, the Worlds
Fair authorities found Ayers Sarsapar-
lila to be an honest, scientific prepara-
ton, the only one of its kind they could
endorse. That was good testimony that
Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best blood
purifier made. Furthermore, hundreds
of physicians say it is, thousands of
druggists say it is, millions of patients
say it is Take it, ailing friend, and you
will say it is.
