LIVED TO THE AGE OF 1O4
Possessed OF All Faculties Nearly
to the End.

A. Il. Voorhies received notice re-
Gently of the death of his great, great
aunt, Mrs. Eliza Voorhies, which oc-
curred at Langston, Mich. She comes
of long lived race, her mother havs
ing lived to the ago Of 1011S, and her
death being due to fall which broke
a number Of bones. OF Mrs. Voor-
hies, the Greenville, mich. Inde-
pendent says:
Eliza HUFF was born at Somerset,
N. j., March 2. 1900. In lS4s she
married in Pontiac Jacob voorhies
who died after a marital union Of
twelve years She then removed to
Wisconsin where she resided until IS
years ago when she came to Green
vile and made her home with Mr..
and Mrs Debree with whom she has
in co resided.
AUNT Eliza, as she was familiar
ly called, was a lovable woman held
In high esteem for her admirable
characteristics of mind and heart.
Her physical powers were remark
ably retained Notwithstanding her ad-
yanced ago until the last few months.
II was wonderful how long she did
her own room work. how she read
without glasses; how she carried on
personal correspondence; how intelli-
gent she was remarkable she was in
many ways.
Mrs. Voorhios was religious
woman, pious and devout, and was u
member of the Congregational
church.

SLATE IN JOSEPH N {
Vast Extent OF Slate Lies Un-
touched.

Now that the Lewis and Clark Fail
is an assured fact, II behooves the
people of Oregon to see that her var
isus resources are exhibited to the
world. Especially is this tho case
with our various neglected resources,
one OF which l would respectfully
call attention to, namely, slate,
Slate was first discovered and work
ed in America in 1904, or just l0C
years ago, The Lewis and CLARK
Centennial is also the centennial OF
tho slate industry in America. We
have here in Josephine county slate
beds which show surface indications
of vast extent which lie untouched.
We should be exporters of this COM
modify, instead Of importers. The
quality of our Oregon slate is un-
questionably good, so far as any do
velopment has ever boen done to dem
onstiate its merits Twelve years

a slate quarry at Merlin and failed
solely for lack of means to carry the
project through, not from any infer
iority.of the grade or lack ofquantity,
exhibited slate at the Industrial
Institute at Portland in 1892, which
showed for itself, and samples Of the
same can still, no doubt, be found in
that city.
Slate, like any other mineral, re-
quires capital in its development, anc
no industry, perhaps, offers better re-
turns upon the amount Of capital re-
quired in its development. The
writer is in no wise interested in any
slate property at the present, time my
sole object being to call public at
tention to this neglected resource OF
the state Of Oregon,

CLOSED BY LAW
Pendleton Auth critics Fightins
tho Gamblers.

Although there had been no warn
ing issued and although the city
authorities had collected the usual
immunity fines, gambling games In
Pendleton were raided Friday night
by the sheriff and district attorney
and 81 gamesters were placed under
arrest. Saturday five more were ar
rested. The town is in tumult over
tho action Of the authorities. The
gamblers were arraigned for trial at
? o'clock, but the matter is being
argued and definite action Is not
probable.
District Attorney T. G.. HALEY was
formerly mayor Of Pendleton, and was
elected on an ant gambling platform.
He declares he will not permit games
to run and says his crusade will
continue as long as that form of vice
exists IN Umatllla county.
