the air of hating everybody, and him.

how he looked? Did you remark that

to be. How he greeted all as tho he
were glad to see them, and he was
glad, too But Jones couldn't own a

the Jones family pretty close to pay

H n F,sman better known

H. D. Elsman, better known
among his college friends as
"Schlitz" left college yesterday
to return to his home at Grants
Pass where he is to become part
owner in the Eisman apple orchard
through the generosity ofhis father.
The orchard has been frequently
referred to in the Times. 1t COM
prises IS acres aud the net profit
from the crop was $1,000 It is
not only famed on account of its
ability as a dividend producer,
but also for the reason that six
years ago it was seized with
disease that threatened to destroy
it. At one time Mr.. Eisman was
about to dig up the trees. The
facts were brought to the attention
of Prof. Cordley of OAC who ap-
piled remedies and the orchard is
today one OF tie best properties in
Oregon. His many friends in col
lege and town regret the departure
of "Schlitz" Eisman who Is uni
versally popular.

Miss Lewis was 66 years of age
She was an Oregon pioneer, having
arrived in this state 55 years ago
and ever since making her home il

person of admirable disposition held
a warm place in, the hearts of those
with whom she became in any way

years she became totally blind from

After Sixty one Years-To see Boy
hood Home-Sol King.

Sol King is in Missouri. The
supposition is that if a first class
blizzard strikes him he wont stay
loug, He left Corvallis two weeks
ago for a visit with his sister at
lone, and his son at Burns. The
next heard of him was that after
making out his visit with each, he
had bought ticket for Lexington,
Missouri, and was headed for the
state of his birth. 1t is his first visit
to the scenes of his childhood for
81 years. He left there in 1845,
and in the autumn of the same year
landed in Oregon. He was then I S
years OF age. His family pitched
their tentsin Kings Valley, and
from them, that we'll known local
ity takes It's name. -.
Mr.. King has been East once
since his arrival, but he did not
then visit his old home. He went
to New York at the instance of
Colonel Hogg, in the interest Of
the Oregon Pacific railroad. then
projected for construction from va
quina Bay across Oregon, which
scheme has in part come to pass.
Mr.. King, who was formerly a
heavy land holder, has sold every
thing. has retired from the con-
Germs of life and will Hereafter take
it easy. The Eastern trip is a part
of the programme. The period of
his absence is indefinite.
Mr.. King is one of the most ex-
cellent men that ever lived in old
Benton and his friends are legion.
He served four terms as sheriff of
Benton in the late seventies and
early eighties.

tested and was against one of the
best teams In the Northwest and on
their own court. In game Fri

Oregon boys is 528 and against
them, 1913. Their achievement,
