GOOD WOMAN GONE
GRANDMA STONE DIED IN THIS
CITY SUNDAY MORNING.
A Pioneer 0regonian, Coming to the
State From California, With Her
Husband In 1854.

Grandma Stone, after having spent a
noble life covering period of 79 years,
died at her home in this city Sunday
morning at :05 o'clock.
The death Of this estimable lady had
been expected for some days and when
the announcement was made early Sum-
day morning by the tolling of the bell
wave of sadness and sorrow went over
the hearts of all, each having known
and loved her.
Until recent years Grandma Stone
had enjoyed rugged health, but since a
couple of SICK spells she had not been SO
strong, and when the recent severe at
tack came, her constitution was very
much impaired.
She was the mother of ten children,
six of whom were present at the funeral,
which was conducted at the home yes
terday at 2 a'clock, p. M, by j. W.
Jenkins, pastor of the Christian church,
of which she had been devoted men,
ber for sixty years. An extended obit-
uary will appear in the next issue of the

LIFE ON OTHER PLANETS.
All the Progress of Science Has Not
Brought Us Amy KnowI-
edge of II.

Upon the question whether life-bear-
ing planets can exist in other solar sys-
TENS than our own the answer of science
is clear and distinct, says Prof. Maun-
der, in knowledge. 1t is precisely the
same with Prof. Newcomb recently
gave concerning the possible inhab-
itants of Mars: THE reader knows just
as much Of the subject as do. and that
is nothing at ali. Within our solar
system we can indeed form fome crude
estimate of probabilities; beyond it,
nothing. All the amazing progress of
modern science, all the revelations made
by the gpectroscope or by photography,
all the advance in biology have not
brought US one step nearer an answer
to the question, ''Is this the only in
habited world?" We stand essentially
where Whewell and Brewster did half
a century ago, or we might indeed say
where Calico and Capoano were 300
years ago. We can tndegd spin out the
discussion at greater length than our
predecessors, and can introduce a far
larger number of more or less irrelevant
facts, but of serious argument, either for
or against. we are entirely destitute.

MOTOR FARMERS.

Our correspondent at Eagle Corners
speaks of new laws passed by the legis-
lature and of the peddlers license law in
particular. While the law states that
all persons peddling must obtain IL
cense to do so, we believe the law was
not intended to interfere with the far
mer, bergman or gardener The attor-
ney general has handed down an unof-
fetal opinion that farmers who distri-
butte their own produce from house to
house are not peddlers and Lawkers and
do not come within the provisions of the
peddlers and hawkers law rs enacted at
the last session of the Legislature This
is the decision in brief, as rendered a
few days ago in an unofficial opinion by
the attorney general, in response to
verbal remonstrance by delegation OF
Milwaukee vendors. who objected TO al
lowing farmers to compete with them
in the sale of vegetables. They asked
for construction of chapter i96 Of the
laws Of 1905, the new peddlers law In
rendering mis- opinion the attorney gen
eral quotes with approval the language
of the high court, to the effect that far
mers do not come within the mischief
which a peddlers license is designed to
correct, except that they are the victim
of this mischief, Richland Observer,

BIG ONES IN. roo.

Another batch of indictments were re-
turned by the Milwaukee grand jury on
Friday, this time involving some Of the
big fish in politics and business. Among
the indicted is Charles f. Pfster the
bell-wether stalwart of the state, own
or of the Milwaukee Sentinel and mil
lionairti caritalist Mr.. Pfister is indict-
cd on he charge Of stealing S14, 600"
from Milwaukee garbage disposal
company. That is recital of the in
djctment. He Of course, disclaims any
thing Of the character, stating that he
dispersed money as directed by officers
of the company TO secure large city
contract, and says that he returned to
the rendering company snch sums rs
were not disbursel by him. The quest
ion must naturally arises how could Mr..
Pfister, as a leading politician and bust
ness mar, "disburse" money for city
contract without using it in an unlaw
fGl way-without using the tactics Of a
briber with the council, from which
the contract was secured2 Can Mr.
Pfster escape the charge of bribery, sv
en- though he be released from the chan se
of stealing Pfister and his Sentinel are
making every possible excuse in the un
savory affair IF Pfster is not guilty
every good citizen viii hope that he may
he able to establish that fact
One thing is certain, that the young
district attorney of Milwaukee county
is not passing over the high or low in
his crusade against official crookedness,
and it looks at this distance that he has
a big job on his hands, and does not pro
pose to be driven from his purpose by
the continual criticism of the leading
newspapers of Milwaukee and the at
tennis ar undermining by leading poll
ticians. Let the probe go to the bottom,

you and applauds every. commendable

DEAR OLD CENSOR: Thinking your
readers might find interest in a little
description of part of our neighbor-
ing county, permit me through your
columns to give little of the line Of
improvements taking place The above
cut shows the McWilliams dredge on
Dead Creek, a tributary of the Lemon
wier, in full force, operating az is seen
in the picture. These huge Levithians
of the marsh, dig a channel from 20 to
30 feet wide and feet deep. The pur-
pose is to furnish a suitable channel for
the water and to aid in draining the
marsh land in the Wisconsin river val
ley, tributary to Valley Junction. Peo-
pie living along these drainage districts
are assessed 81 to So so per acre year
for building and maintaing these bitches.

PACKERS PROFIT ON A HOG.

A writer in the Orange Judd Farmer
figures out the profit that farmer may
get from hog by pursuing the same
course in final disposition of the carcass
that the packer does The figures are
interesting and are as follows;
Take a hog weighing at home 200 lbs.
on q basis of a five cent market, live
weight Its value il SO. re fat, the
hog loses about twenty per cent, or 40
lbs, leaving 100 lbs, edible portion.
approximately the dressing will be-
Two hams, 80 lbs; two shoulders, "a
los. : four strips bacon Is lbs spare.
ribs, head, feet and backbone, IS lbs,
leaving about As lbs for sausage and
lard. The meats to be smoked will in
crease about 10 per cent in weight in the
pickle, but lose about the same in smok-
ing, so the selling weight is the same as
The dressing weight. The following are
very conservative prices for coun-
try dressed hog thirty pounds ham at

the most fertile land of the state. In
some places the fall is as great as fifty

three feet in depth These parts of
waste land can be turned into splendid
