The death of Mayor Charles Grissen,
has caused profound sorrow through
out the valley. He worked unceas-
ingly for the development of Oregon,
and was ever found in the forefront
of every movement having for its
object the upbuilding Of his town,
county and state. Into this work, he
entered with all his heart and soul.
The Oregon Fire Relief Association,

pany on the Pacific Coast, If not in

death, Oregon has lost one of its most
valuable citizens.
