any OF them can arrange to visit
the North Fork during August

AS will be observed by read
ing of the council proceedings.
the municipality will proceed to
at once take the steps to acquire
the electric plant or construct
one. 1t is believed that the owner
of the existing plant will see his
way clear to accept the towns
liberal offer. Probably the plant
will have to be enlarged in the
very near future but that is better
than conflict over two plants.

The money has all been raised
and this insures a large capacity

now assured. Last years output
was all sold before it was canned

is excellent.

On Wednesday afternoon the
fine coach stallion Hecht was
taken suddenly i'll and died after
about thirty minutes illness. To
all appearance he was suffering
from some serious bowel obstruc-
ton. His death is a heavy loss
to the company that owned him,
as his value was about $500 and
there was no insurance. Hecht
was a very popular horse among
breeders and his death will be felt
all over the North Fork.

AN OLD PIONEER GONE

Jacob H. Stratton, an old piOn- |
eer of the Salmon River country,
died quite suddenly at Bonanza
on Wednesday night. the 11th
inst. of quick pneumonia, and
was buried in the Bonanza GENE
terry on the evening of the 18th.
Deceased had led an eventful
life. He served in the Confed-
crate army as artilleryman under
General Lee, and received num-
erous wounds in battle, and bore
battle scars upon his face and
body. At one time while lying
wounded upon the field he was
run over by a cannon carriage
and both legs broken.
After the war was over, I'm
Gle jake as he was familiarly
known, came out onto the plains
and was at times scout and mes
senger for the posts at Laramie
and other points during the
building of the Union Pacific
Railway, and was a portion of
the time with Capt. Jim Bridger,
He was a historical character
and of great memory, and in his
death is lost much real pioneer
history that would make inter
esting reading, for he saw much
| service in the Indian wars, and
was in campaigns against them.
1t was Uncle Jake's" pride
that he was born on "Old Vir-
ginia" soil, so prolific of great
men and great women-the soil
upon which were born many of
the greatest and bravest men OF
the nation, but never a coward.
He was in every sense a typical
Southerner and a true pioneer
kind, generous, hospitable, brave,
and ever ready to lend a helping
hand to the sick or distressed.
He was once married and his
wife died over year later leav-
ing a son who is a practicing
physician in Pennsylvania. He
had prospected, mined and ex
. plored through much of tht
4 West.
: Stratton had recently been OF
: a fishing and prospecting trip in
$ the vicinity of Deadwood Basin
with span of horses and a ligh
wagon. On his return he wa!
< caught in a heavy rain storm
took pleurisy after reaching
( town, which was followed b.
/ pneumonia, but he was no
! thought to be seriously sick. a
: he was not confined to his be-
S until the evening of his death
e when he lay down to die. -
