HIS BURIAL TODAY,
Alonzo ]. Locke he Died Of Pneumo.
mia Monday Afternoon.

-
The funaral of Alonzo J. Locke,
well known in Benton county, is to
occur from the home four miles
across the Willamette in Linn
County, at 10 o'clock this, We'd
nesday morning. The interment
will be at Locke cemetery.
Mr.. Locke died at one o'clock
Monday afternoon after an illness
of less than week. His malady
was pneumonia, and at the time of
his death, three other members of
the family, were and still are, suf-
fering with the disease. Mrs Locke
was the first to be stricken, and
several days thereafter Mr.. Locke
was seized with the malady. Last
Sunday the little daughter Grace,
aged FIVE fell i'll with it, and the
following day her younger sister,
aged two became violently i'll with
what is supposed to be the same
disease. As this article is written,
Mrs. Locke's condition is critical
and the question of recovery more
or less uncertain. The family resi-
de on the Joseph Yates farm, four
miles east of Corvallis.
A1onzo J. Locke was born on the
well known Locke donation claim
FIVE miles north of Corvallis. His
father was Nelson Locke who cross
ed the plains to Oregon and settled
in Benton county in I847. It was
a year after the arrival on what is
now the old homestead. or Septem-
ber. 20, 1883 that Alonzo was born.
His boyhood was spent on the farm
and in attendance at the public
schools of the vicinity. In due
time he entered the Agricultural
College, and was graduated from
that institution with the class Of
1875. June 20, 1879 he was mar.
ried to Miss Nancy Holman, a
niece of Wiley Holman, of northern
Benton. For several years he was
engaged in teaching school and
later on was elected county survey
or. Most of his life was spent in
farming, all of it until four years
ago, in Benton County. He was a
member of the A. o. U. W. lodge
at Corvallis, and held a policy fol
s. 900 in the order. He was also a
member of the Corvallis, lodge A.
F. & A. M, under the auspices of
which the funeral will beconducted.
The surviving members of the
family are wife and six children.
The funeral sermon will be by
Rev. Frank L. Moore.

BILLY BUCHANAN.

The proper and only place for
the county treasurer's Office is at
the court house, and that is where
Billy Buchanan has always kept it,
When man receives his county
warrant in the clerks Office, it is
convenient for him to cross the
hall to the treasurer's Office and
there have his warrant either en-
dorsed or cashed. In the room
provided for the treasurer, there is
fire proof vault, where valuable
books and papers are intended to
be, and always should be kept.
Ever since Billy Bushanan has
been treasurer the latch string has
always hung out on his Office door
at the court house, and it will con-
tinue to hang there just the same
at all times-if Mr.. Buchanan is re-
elected.

A MATTER OF BUSINESS.

The candidacy Of Victor Moses
for clerk is on his merits as an Off
cial. He has been tried in the
place, and the result is fully
known. No county in Oregon ey-
er had a better clerk, and few have
had as good a one. As excellent
in their work as were the late B.
W. Wilson and Virgil Waters, it
is no injustice to say that in some
respects Mr.. Moses is even super
ior to them. He is an expert as a
typewriter and since their time a
typewriting machine has been ev-
olved that can be used in making
county records. Its use puts per-
haps three times as much matter on
page and the expense for pur-
chase of record books is cores
pondingly saved. Copying can be
done three times as fast with it as
can be done by hand, which results
in a great saving of time. In ad-
dition, typewriter records are up
to-date, modern, and the only pro-
per way for keeping public records.
Incidentally, Mr.. Moses has pur-
chased his own machine, and has
placed it at the disposal of the
county. Thus, the question OF
Victor Moses reelection, becomes
not what are his party affiliations,
but cold business proposition so
plain that it cannot be lodged, de-
MED or evaded. He ought to be
reelected to a second term III the
Office because he is the best man in
the county for the place, because it
is economy for the taxpayers to do
so, and because there should be
recognition and reward for a man
so prompt, SO faithful, so capable
and so obliging in the discharge oi
his duty.

PETER RICHARD.

It is always matter of pleasure
to be able to say of a citizen, there
is a man who is, indeed a man.
There are men, and there are men;
but in the genuine, unalloyed ar
ticle, there are always the four es-
sentials of integrity, sobriety. prud-
ence and goodness. Measured by
this standard, there is one man in
Benton county of fwhom not one who
knows him will hesitate to say,
''He is, indeed, a man." That one
is Peter Rickard, ex-sheriff and ex-
commissioner. Known from bord-
er to border of the county, respect
ed and honored by his political op-
ponents, ido1ized by his own par
tisans and esteemed always and ev-
erywhere. Peter Richard, is before
the voters for election to the Office
of commissioner. For four years,
he served the people in that posi-
ton, most difficult position to
satisfactorily fill, and yetit is true
of him that his honesty of purpose
and sincerity of motive is such that
, not one word of criticism was ever
uttered against him as result of
his administration of the Office. On
the contrary, he was called from
the commissionership to the sherifs
Office, and there for four years he ser
vedthe people ofthe county with that
same steady goodness and sincerity
that made the man and his name
respected and esteemed in every
home in the county.
Peter Rickard did not seek the
nomination for commissioner. 1t is
a case of the Office seeking the
man. because universally and ev-
erywhere in the county. there is a
feeling that he is the man for the
position. Conservative in all things,
determined when necessary, just
and honest in every act, man oi
affairs. successful in his own bust.
ness, Peter Rickard is essentially
and distinctively the man whom the
people want for the place.

COMMON SENSE IN FASHION.
Man 10 Hardly in u Position to Criti.
else Feminine Attire.

Ever since Mother Eve caused the
question OF "Wherewithal shall we be
clOthed:' to become one of paramount
Importance TO the human race. the
evolution Of dress has been in progress
and one and all have we bowed the
neck to fashion. 1t has long been a
masculine habit TO point to this savish
allegiance to style and it's changes as a
distinctively feminine characteristic
and especially TO remark upon the fact
that fashion and hygiene rarely go
hand in hand. A newspaper humorist
asks: Are the fashionable sleeves
this season to be too tight or too
loose?" And between fashion and
comfort there seems to yawn an i'm
passable gulf
AS long as man retains his present
ridiculous and inartistic costume. he ia

GRAFTON. There have been no striking
changes or improvements in mans at
tire during the last fifty years. but in
that period dress reform for women
has made distinct advances. The most
noticeable Of these probably has been
the almost general adoption Of the
short skirt for street wear, and physi
clans say that the gain in the fem.
mime health is already apparent. For
this reform our business women are re-
sponsible in large measure, although
the use Of the short skirt in golf and
other athletics has not been without
it's wholesome influence. Shoe dealers
tell us that it is only within the last
few years that thicksOled shoes for
women have become popular, and that
their sale now, during the winter and
spring months. is very large. Another
evidence of common sense. The eX.
tremely tight lacing of our grandnoth
ers and the wasp waist" have fallen
into diSfavOr among sensible women
