Tribute of Respect to the
Memory of O. w. Clark,
by Barron Lodge, a. F.
M.

Many hearts were made sad
in our little town, when the news
fasbed over the wires, from COL
umbia, S. O., that our friend and
brother, Mr.. o. w. Clark, had
passed away. How true the
words of the Apostle,
I'm the midst of life we are in
death"
Mr.. Clark was young, in the
prime of manhood, and when he
lett home, just a few days before
bis death, was apparently
enjoying the very best of
health, but while in the dis
charge of duty, without a mo-
ment's warning, he was stricken
with appendicitis, which neces-
stated an operation, and friends
and loved ones hoped and prayed
that he might survive, but an ALL
wise Providence decreed other
wise
On January the 18th, just as
the sable curtsins of night we're
folded over the earth, the brittle
cord was severed and the spirit
passed away to the God who
gave it.
Mr.. Clark had been for several
years travelling salesman for
large Louisiana firm, by whom
he was held in the highest esteem.
He was social, genial, liberal.
upright in his dealings, and true
TO his friends, always ready to
&C ,ommodate, and to defend their
good name and interest, even in
their absence. While he was re
markably successful in his busi-
ness, he was never known to take
advantageeof his fellow man, and
little or undermining act was
scorned by him as unworthy of
man.
For just one year he had been
member of Barron Lodge No.
261 A. F. M. and we, his fellow
citizens and brother Masons in
Lodge assembled, desire to ex-
press our tribute of respect to his
memory.
Whereas, it has pleased the
All-wise Supreme Architect of
the universe to remove from our
midst our Brother, friend and
Go worker, be it resolved by the
members of Barron Lodge:
1st. That we bow in humble
submission to the will of our
Heavenly Father, believing that
q He doeth all things we'll.
End. That We will miss our
Brother in the Lodge room, in
our homes, and in the daily
walks of life.
3rd. That we would point his
stricken and sorrowing compan-
ion for comfort to Him who said
Let not your hearts be troubl,
ed"
4th That we would pray the
richest blessings of the Father
of the: e:fathers upon the little ones
who have been left without the
protection, love and care of any
earthly father.
5th That copy of these re-
solutions be spread in the min
ute book of our order, "a copy
sent to the family of our depart
ed brother, and also to the clan

COURT STREET FIRM
SECURES FAIR STORE ROOM

Five Year Lease Signed Yesterday
and Work of Moving Started This
Morning-Present Quarters made
quate for Rapidly Growing Busi-
ness-New Lines May Be Added.
Cook and Perry have leased the
old Fair store location in the Smith
Crawford building for a period of five
years and they are now moving into
the new place. They signed a lease
for the place yesterday afternoon and
early this morning began the work
of moving.
According to w. S. Perry they will
use the entire 50-front room for their
stationery business which they as
sert has grown too large for their
old location. In the new place they
will have more room for the display
of their line and also more warehouse
room.
In addition to their stationery busl-
ness it is possible that Cook & Perry
will also add other lines, though they
have not yet fully decided upon that
point.
When the Fair store went out Of
business recently the south room on
the lower floor Of the Smith Crawford
building became vacant. However
there have been several prospective
tenants, among them man who pro-
posed starting another dry goods store
in that location. However, the build
ing was secured yesterday by Cook &
Perry.

HARRAs ASKED QUESTIONS.
st. Dennis -Harras Case once More in
the Courts.

Reinhold Harras was on the stand
in the circuit court this morning in
the case brought against him by De-
sire st. Dennis and on cross-examina-
ton he was asked some embarrass-
ing questions by Will NJ. Peterson,
the leading attorney for st. Dennis.
Did you not while in a conversa-
ton with James Bell at Athena, say
as follows: You have a lease on st.
Dennis place for two years and I
have one for 10 years; don't pay him
any more rent and we will beat him
out Of it?'" was one of the queries.
This question Harras was not re-
quired to answer, but talking Into
the record" he denied he had made
such a statement.
Harras related to his ability as a
fighter and to the particular amount
of booze he had supplied st. Dennis
with.
on his direct examination Harras
said he had gone to the st. Dennis
place after having leased it and that
st. Dennis had run him off by telling
him that he would kill him If he tried
to take possession.
The St Dennis-Harras case was
started yesterday, but much Of the
day was lost while a couple of di-
vorce suits were being tried. At the
outset of the case the plaintiffs attor-
plaint and by so doing they placed
the burden of proof upon the Harras
side Of the case.
Harras is represented in .cOurt by
d. w. Bailey and ]. D. Perry, while
ST. Dennis case is handled by Will
NJ. Peterson and Lowell G. Winter.

NEAR BEER"
NEAR TROUBLE
DISTRICT ATTORNEY PHELPS
ISSUES A WARNING
Grand jury VIII Probably Investigate
Beverage and Also Dispensers-Jail
Yawns for Men Who Persist in Sell
ing Drinks That Produce THAT
Dizzy Feeling"

Though the officers Of the law may
seem to be doing little at this time
along the line of enforcing the pro-
hibition law District Attorney Phelps
says that things may be different
when the grand jury meets in Sep
tember.
Today Mr.. Phelps is busy prepar-
ing to leave on a mountain trip to-
morrow upon which he will be gone
for a month or more. This morning
he discussed the prospect of law vlo-
lations and in the course of the same
sounded a warning to those who
would sell booze within this county.
Under the prohibition law a Sec
ond violation makes a Jail sentence
OF not less than 80 days absolutely
necessary. In the Plamondon case
Judge Bean held that this applied
in cases where two or more indict-
ments are returned against one party
and hehas been in court but once. So
II the law is violated some people are
going TO jail"
Upon the subject of near" beer
Mr.. Phelps says he knows Of nothing
that permits a person to sell any in
toxicating beverage no matter how
small a percentage OF alcohol 1t may
contain. The local option law pro-
hibits the sale of Intoxicating bev-
erages and apparently "near" beer Is
under the ban If it has the faculty
OF producing the dizzy feeling. But
up to this time no complaints have
been made against the new drink and
no edict has been issued against it.
Since the county went dry Mr..
Phelps has been in correspondence
with district attorneys in dry sections
Of the state and in prosecutions that
may arise here he will have the ad-
vantage Of their experience
While Mr.. Phelps is away Attorney

That insurance rates in Pendleton
will not be lowered because of the
extensive new electric wiring ordered
by the underwriters association a few
weeks rgo is practically assured, and
that rates may be raised because OF
the failure of a few property owners
to rewire as requested, is also a pos
sibility.
Lot Livermore, one Of the pioneer
insurance men of the city, has just
received word from a number OF
agents for fire insurance companies
represented by him, and they assure
him that unless the rewriting is done
as requested that rates in Pendletor
will be advanced
Since the order to rewlre Pendle-
ton business houses was sent out the
electricians have been busy almost
night and day and property owners
had hoped that when the orders OF
the underwriters association had
been compiled with and the risk in
Pendleton reduced greatly by the new
wiring, that the fire insurance rate
would be preceptibly lowered, but the
information given to Mr.. Livermore
seems to dispel any such hope and
the same old rates, with a possible
advance, will be charged here.
There is widespread complaint OF
the action of the underwriters 'asso-
citation in ordering a wholesale rewir-
ing of Pendleton and other northwest
business houses, when many of these
houses were already equipped with
modern electric wiring and other ap-
pliances, and now that no reduction
of the fire insurance rate Is to fol-
low the rewriting and reduced fire
risks this complaint is exceedingly
bitter.
Property owners feel that they have
been imposed upon by the insurance
trust and there is strong talk Of
forming a mutual association among
local business men and property own
ers to carry the insurance Of the city.
1t will cost practically $4,000 to re-
wire all the buildings OF this city
which come under the ban of the in
surance trust, and now that no bene-
fits in lowered rates are to come
from this heavy outlay, property own
ers are justly indignant.
Another feature Of the matter is
that where one building in a block is
not rewired, although all the remain
ing buildings may be rewired, the
rates will be raised on all the build
ings in the block, regardless of the
heavy expense of those who may
have complied with the request OF the
underwriters association.
The work of rewriting Pendleton
buildings has been in progress for
the past month and it had been
hoped by property owners that the
present excessive fire insurance rates
would be reduced, owing to the
greatly reduced risks.

that disease prevails most and pre-
