Funeral of Mrs. Martha Mcfarland.

!. Mr.. and Mrs. Frank mcfarland left
here Friday tc attend the funeral OF
Mr.. McFarland's mother at The
Dalles, who died at the residence Of
her daughter, Mrs. r. Abrams, at
Concord, Mass, aged " years and
Ave months. The deceased was q
pioneer of Wasco county, and we'll
known here among she early settlers.
The following is taken from the
Chronicle:
The funeral of Mrs. Martha MoFar-
land, wife of John Mcfarland, was
conducted at the Congregational
church this afternoon by Kew. ID. V.
Polling. After few general remarks
and reading of a portion Of the scrip
lures by the pastor, Mrs. Il. M. Will
son In few words that burned with
the earnestness which prompted their
utterances told the story Of the life OF
Mrs. Mcfarland from the time of her
arrival In The Dalles until her death.
MIS-. Martha Mcfarland came to
Oregon with her young husband, Neil
Mcfarland, In 1852 and settled In The
Dalles, then only small village and
trading post for the Indians. Soon
after their arrival, In 1858, Neil No
Fsrland and bis father, John Mct'ar-
ian,l, launched the "Wasco," one of
the first steam boats on the upper Co
lumbia, plying between Cascades and
The DalIes. Mrs. Wilson described
graphically the dangers to which the
young tivermen we're exopsed, touch
Ing feelingly upon the anxiety of the
young wife awaiting her husbands re-
turn. Mrs. Mcfarland often told In
after years the story of frontier life,
but always emphasized the more pleas
ant phases never complaining OF the
hardships encountered. "Ber oharac-
ter is best described by an inscription
en- a statute in Rome which was made
over 20 centuries ago-'She was very
pleasant, said Mrs. Wilson.
Mis-. Mcfarland leaves two sons,
Frank Mcfarland, of Portland and
Homer Mcfarland, of Portland, and
four daughters, Mrs. Eugene Price, of
Portland; Mrs. Laura Hill, of Port
land; Mrs. X. Abrams, of Concord,
Mass. and Mrs. W. Ii. Moody, OF
Shaniko, all of whom we're In attend
ance at the funeral save Mrs. Abrams,
at whose home the deceased was visit
ing when the summons came.
The pail bearers we're q. l.. Brooks,
Tom Burgess, j. b. Crossen, George
Liebe, Henry Steers and George
Snipes. The floral offerings we're elab.
orate and beautiful and showed how
much Mrs. Mcfarland was esteemed
and loved by her friends, neighbors
and acquaintances.

BOND DITCH :
FOR $4,000
NECESSARY TO CLEAR UP DEBT
Meeting Of Stockholders Saturday Vote
this Authority to the Board
of Directors.

A stockholders meeting of the East
Side Irrigatiug Co. was held at the
Artisan hall Saturday and was attend
ed by about 80 OF the stockholders.
A report OF the secretary was read,
showing conditions of the company,
and recommending TIT bond issue
be made to take up the Indebtedness
OF the company which will come due
November 1.
The principal object of the meeting
was to act on the bond question, and
brought out considerable discussion.
1t was stated that a bond issue of
$40, 600 would pay all outstanding In
debtedness OF the company and leave
nearly $1,000 In the treasury.
The fact was brought out that the
directors had stopped the sale of
stock, as authorized because they had
I'D all the water which the ditch was
delivering at this time, and did not
think advisable to sell any more stock
with water rights until 1t was assured
that the ditch could be made to de-
liver It without enlargement. The
time for the sale OF stock had been ex-
tended once, and no one else had ap-
piled for stock, so that the farmers
along the line of the ditch could feel
agrieved If the sale Of stock had been
stopped.
MIR. Evans stated that he had meas
ured the water near the head Of the
ditch at the divide, and there was
1893 inches of water, and some OF the
water had heen sold and delivered
above this point. At the same time,
owing to waste, extravagant use and
other causes, only 800 had been sold
and delivered this year.
p. s. Davidson advised the sale OF
more stock, of which l50 shares re-
main IL In the treasury, and cut down
the indebtedness. II. S. Galligan was
of the same opinion. The board, how
ever, thought 1t best not to sell any
more stock than could be delivered at
this time, but to sell water instead,
at 81 an inch, enlarging the ditch to
carry the extra amount. The cost OF
maintenance would be only about S3
year to owners of water rights,
while the difference from the sale of
stock would provide a sinking fund
or pay the interest on the indebted
ness which would In time pay of the
debt.
The question of interest came up,
and the directors stated that the CON-
dition of the money market WAS such
that 1t was uncertain how low q rate
Of interest could be obtained, and af-
ter some discussion, the matter was
left to the board to do the best they
could.
Peter Mohi stated that as the report
of the banks showed half million
ION deposit, he thought there were
plenty of tanners In the valley who
could take up tn, bonds and would be
glad to do so.
1t was voted that the board te au-
thorized to issue the bonds. and the
rate of interest was left TO their dis
oretion.
