Seattle Wednesday to be present at
the funeral of his friend and former
schoolmate, F. M. McCully, Assist
ant State Superintendent of Schools,
which was held from the Elks' hall
and the Congregational Church, yes
terday. Mr.. Crawford is unquali-
fed in expression of his admiration
of the deceased as an upright, intel
ligent citizen and a devoted friend.
They attended the Willamette Uni
versity together in the Cos, and the
students in 1866 originated THE
Donkey Club" similar to all college
organizations, of which the recent
death leaves only four of the original
members living. They are Samuel
L. Crawford, John Forsythe and two
cousins of the departed, John D.
and Frank D. McCully. Mr.. Craw-
ford is here not only as a personal
friend of the deceased and his family,
but representing the club, which as
an outward token of its regard, pre-
sented a beautiful floral piece for
decoration of the casket and grave.
L. E. RAIDER, of Olalla, was in
town for a few hours, last Monday,
shaking hands with old-time friends.

LEGATION of sound moral views and
grand principles, which, if followed,
are calculated to make men and wo-
men better, and develop the best
that is in them. In Mrs. RAIDER he
has splendid helpmate, to assist
him in bearing life's burdens and
giving harmony and song to exist
ence on this mundane plane. They
have now four children, all of the
male sex, the youngest being three
years of age. This family are all
vegetarians, from principle as well
as practice. Mr.. RAIDER for some
years has sold a great deal of fruit,
principally apples, in the Seattle
market, which have brought $3.50
per box and upwards. The Brother
hood colony, near Olalla, was under
Mr.. RAIDERS management for some
time. 1t could not maintain itself as
a Socialistic institution, and was put
on q good financial basis through his
efforts. Thereafter this corporation
leased its property to parties who
desired to remain and are now doing
well. Individualism and Utopian
ideas do not mix very well when per-
sons of divers tastes and impulses
get too closely together.
R. M. Hayes and Byron Millett,
executors of the James r. Bolton
estate, have filed in the Superior
Court their final report and q petit
ton for the distribution of the assets
and property, after the payment of
all debts, expenses and costs. It is
understood the creditors claims can
not be liquidated till this final &C.
count shall have been passed upon
by the court, and an order entered
for their payment. The estate was
appraised at $2,222.51. The cash &C.
count with the property on hand
makes it somewhat higher regarding
credits, owing to Mr.. Chas. J. Hug
gett's efforts while acting for the
executors, in getting good prices for
certain items of personal property.
The report shows the payment OF
$251.9 as expenses of administra-
ton and for preferred claims up to
date. The total amount of claims
presented is 1925. Legacies-Miss
Blanche G. Chambers, store, cash
appraisement $439. Is; Clarence Boil
ton, 800; First Presbyterian church,
Olympia, 500, and State inheritance
tax, 1886, leaving a balance Of
$5O6. 83 to Miss Chambers, less costs
and expenses to be allowed. The
report on the face seems to make a
