Sudden death came early this morn
ing to a. j. Howard, of the firm of
Monteith & Howard, proprietors of
the Maze, and the news was a shock
to the many friends and acquaintances
of the dead man when they learned
of his untimely end.
The trouble from which death re-
suited was abscess of the stomach,
with which Mr. Howard had been suf-
fering for some weeks. However,
while the ailment had been painful,
il had not prevented him from being
at his place of business, and only those
most closely connected with the dead
man knew of its existence, for he
made no complaint. For some time
past he had been urged by his wife
and his partner to go to Bingham
Springs to rest and recuperate, and
was intending to do so within a day
or so. However. during last night he
became much worse, but refused to
have a doctor called, thinking he
would soon be better. When he be-
gan to sink DR.. Cole was summoned,
but the patient was dead when he
arrived. Death was declared to have
been due to an abscess of the stom-
ach.
Andrew j. Howard. or Jack How
ard, as he was known to his friends,
came to Pendleton three and a half
years ago from Portland in company
with NJ. S. Monteith, and the two en-
tered into business together. Previ-
Gus to his coming here he had lived
in Portland for IL years. and before
that had been eight years at Albany.
When he first arrived at the latter
place he was employed by G. w, Hunt
i'm the construction of the Oregon Pa
cific railroad now the Corvallis &
| Eastern, He was married in Colo
RADIO.
1t was i'm Albany, 20 years ago, that
he first became acquainted with his
surviving partner, Monteith, and the
two men have been strong friends
since that time. In disposition the
deceased was quiet and reserved, and
was seldom seen outside of his place
of business except when walking with
his wife. He was well liked by all
with whom he was associated.
The funeral will be held in Port
land at 10 o'clock Sunday forenoon,
and will probably be held from Fin
ley's chapel. The body will be taken
down on the west-bound train tonight.
The dead man was not a member of
any secret order, and has no relatives
in the west, nor has his wife, who sur
wives him.

Unfair to Baker City.

this morning to the East Oregonian,
that the dining service on the Harri-
man lines through Eastern Oregon
advertises to supply patrons with gen.
uine Bull Run water from Portland's S
Mt. Hood supply, when the facts are
that the Portland supply is exhausted
before reaching Baker City and the
supply used from that place east is
pure Elk creek water from Bakers

mands that her water be given proper
recognition in the dining car service.

to every well informed citizen of

prominent young man probably

pleased to call them must go, aud
be it said to his credit, they are

and diligent officials will clear the
city of every one.
We commend the News and OBJ

SUPERINTENDENT RAY.

This paper wishes to congratulate
Prof. McDufie Ray for the high
compliment paid him by the
County Board of Education on
Monday, in electing him s1perin-
tendent Of schools. The respon-
sibility of this important position
could not have fallen upon a more
worthy or competent man, and
the board has done we'll in MAX
ing a choice, if a change was to be
made at all. The announcement
of his election came as a surprise
as no intlmation had been given
out that his name would be con-
sidered In connection with the
place, and the people naturally
expected the reelection of Prof.
J. w. Morgan. Two years ago the
election of Mr.. Ray was generally
conceded, but Prof. Morgan land
ed into the position and has made
an admirable official. This time
the same board, the personnel of
which is unchanged, reverses it.
self and elects Mr.. Ray.
No objections have been offered
to Prof. Morgan and the reason
assigned by the board for it's &C
ton on Monday is simply to try a
change and encourage competent
young men. Prof. Morgan has
held the position, at intervals. for
many years, to the satisfaction of
the public generally, but he is
not the type of man who persists
in holding Oh eternally and yields
gracefully to the will of those in
authority. He believes, also, in
"giving the young men a chance"
He will cooperate most heartily
with the new superintendent and
assist Ill the continued advance
ment Of the cause of education
Again we congratulate Superin-
tendent Ray, and offer him our
best efforts in promoting the great
cause he represents.

therefore, if the sections of North

more progressive channels.

Meeting Of Education Board.

The county board of education met in
regular session on Monday. Messrs. j.
p. Hickman, G., Oats. and w. s. Young
are the gentlemen who were to compose
the new board. but Mr.. Hickman. hav-
ing already accepted the Office of city
treasurer and for the further reason that
private business prevented, declined to
qualify as a member of the. educational
board. This vacancy was supplied by
the reelection of the former chairman,
Mr.. J. D. Dermid.
The new board then ~reorganized by
the election of Mr.. Dermid as chairman
to succeed himself, after which the
members went into the election of a
county superintendent. The ballot in
dictated a majority for Med. Ray esq,
and he was declared duly elected. Notice
of this result was conveyed TO Mr.. Ray
and he Immediately entered upon the
duties of the Office. Petitions from
various sections of the county upon sun
dry matters, were received and consider
ed. The appointment of school commit
teemen was deferred until Wednesday.
Announcement was made that a con
ference of teachers would be held at the
academy IN this city beginning next
Monday aud continuing for three days
and that all teachers in the public
schools are required to attend. The
usual examination will open on Thus
day. Supintendent Ray has requested
Prof. Morgan to asst and the latter viii
direct the work rlready outlined in a
recent issue of this paper.

I'M MIGRATION.

immigration is a subject that
seems to be occupying great deal
of attention in North Carolina at
the present time. The newspapers
are discussing the question vigor-
ously in the hope of reaching the
best settlement of this important
problem for the state. The matter
grows more serious each year and
the complaints of farmers particu-
larly and others who are largely
dependent upon hired labor have
induced our Senators in Congress
and our governor to look carefully
into the matter, and they are
recommending in speeches and
otherwise the Importation of de-
sirable immigrants from Europe.

that Hon. Benton McMillin, who for

Mr.. McMillin should o 90 back to the

1--WE entirely agree with our Chatta-

offices that no nan should ever consider
himself too large TO hold-that of legis-

Quite right. Aud it will not be
out of place to say that nearly
every North Carolina Legislature
contains representatives who have
previously been honored with high
er offices. We recall the following
during recent years: Judge F. l.

A. w. Graham, Oxford; Exon

Lieutenant Governor R. A.
Doughton, Sparta. So 1t appears
to be characteristic of North Car
olinians to answer the call of their
people at alltimes.

will be asked to accept the nomi-

next year and if such request
