Hooking County Picnic.

The Hooking county picnic to
Columbus was n great success,
There were l03l persons bought
tickets at Logan, and We're carried
to Columbus in two trains of ten
coaches each. The run was made
in one hour and ten minutes, and
street cars were in waiting at
South Columbus and took the
whole crowd the full length of
High street and out to Indianola
Park. The accomodations were
first class, the railroad company
providing comfortable seats for
all.
The park was at its best, and
everything was done to make the
day pleasant. Ex Governor
Campbell was on the ground
shaking hands with his many
Hooking friends,
We have heard none hut com.
mendation of the trip, and assur-
ance that the railroad company
may he safe in counting on twice
that number next year.

Beginning as many endoaring ties
begin. the friendship that existed for
more than thirty years between Hon,
Judson Harmon and the late Cover
nor Pattison was quite of the David
and Jonathan quality.
Born and reared in adjoining coun-
ties, they were students of law at
the same time, Both practced at the
Cincinnati bar and it was during their
early forensic and legal Struggles that
mere acquaintance ripened into mu
tuaI admiration, and the bond of sym.
pathy and friendship, born of lofty
aspirations, endured unbroken to the
very end. When the grave closed over
all that was mortal of th3 late lament
ed governor, there was no more sin.
cere mourner than Judson Harmon.
For full 80 years the two had como
in contact prof ssiunally socially and
in business. Whom Pattison died Har.
mon was in the east. Fastening home
as fast as trains could travel, Judge
Harmon arrived at Milford in time to
be present at the obsequies.
Upon his arrival it was considered
appropriate by those in charge of the
funeral services to have the great
friend OF John NJ. Pattison pay
brief tribute 10 the dead statesman.
Pleading lack of preparation Judge
Harmons eulogy was entirely extern
poraneous. Among other things he
said:
But what could preparation have
done for me? | shall simply select my
brief utteranccs from recollection
of 30 years For that length of time
/ have known John NJ Pattison. |
have discussed all sorts of matters
with John NJ. Pattison and always

of the bereaved relatives and friends
my heart goes out to the mourners
of the Democratic party. to which he
gave new birth just before he died
After years Of despair he came to the

high ground. Now they nave lost The

Under head of reports Of com
mittees Mr.. Bay brought up the
matter of the drainage at the ex.
tension of Orchard street. The
alley leading east from the north
terminal of Orchard street ia
subject to a flooded condition
about every time it rains,
and the property owners on the
south side of the alley and east
side of the street suffer their
cellars and yards full of water
from off the alley. This they
have stood for the last time, they
say. Mr.. Bay reported that about
the only solution of that drainage
was to pave the alley with de-
preston in the center to carry the
water to Goose Creek. The
collector was ordered to draw up a
heading for petition to be sign
ed by the property owners to pave

, the alley, also Tor petition neau
ings to be prepared for the owners
of property abutting on Mound
street and Cherry avenue to pave
those streets.
Mr.. j ,mcs spoke Of the washing
of Market street leading to the
cemetery, north of the school
house hill. The committee was
authorized to put In 81 inch tile tc
carry off the water, aud to accept
the dirt from the Rannells.Warren
Mingo Terrace Addition, to make
the fill in the low place at Goose
Creek on North Market.
The drainage committee was
also given power to repair the
gutter at the property of Mrs.
Montgomery so that the water
would carry off to the sewer.
Mr.. Canty reported that the food
gate of the storm sewer in River
dale was down Monday night of
last week, and the heavy down
pour of rain, backed up and stood
f, ur feet deep in the streets. That
he had authorized the gate torn
out and thrown into the river, and
it could stay there as far as he is
concerned. There did not seem to
be any person to take up the fight
for the installation of the gate.
The street committee was given
power to grade the guSters on
Bowen street.
Mr.. Comfy moved that the former
resolution contracting for lighting
the streets for August, be renewed
to light for September, or from
the 2Sth. of August to the 2Sth. of
September. The resolution was
read by the clerk and passed, con-
tracing with the Citizens light
company for 30 days at $3l1.00.
Col. Weldy asked for grade
stakes to be replaced in the Weldy
addition, AS the food of year ago
had carried them all out, The
matter was referred to the street
committee. The Colonel seemed
to think the council should assist
him to grade his addition, but in
as much az all other real-estate
men are grading their own addi-
tions, the council talked against
doing any such work. DR.. Ran
nels was present and by Mr.. Comfy
presented plat for Mingo Terrace,
The blue print was very compre-
heneive, and the doctor assured
the council that a retaining wall
would he placed on the west aud
south sides of their addition. The
plat was referred to the street
committee.
Mr.. Stracke had the council or
der the Clerk to notify Mr.. Rem
pei, owner of lot S66 in Logan, to
pave in front of his property.
Mr.. Charles Mccarthy had made
that the stencil from the
sewer at the river near his home
was about unbearable, and that he
would protest against any more
sewers emptying in the river west
of his house. The contemplated
out let of the Rlverdade sewer Is
near the main sewer outlet, and
hence the early objection. Much
was had but no conclu-
sions reached.

Death of Mrs. Buckland.

The residents OF Logan received
the sad news, on Friday last, of
the death of Mrs. A. w. Buck
land, wife of the Episcopal minis
ter of Logan, after eight months
of intense suffering. All that med
ical skill could do did not appease
the disease from which she suffer
ed. She leaves devoted and
heart-broken husband and three
sons. She was a noble woman, al
ways interested in all good works,
and will be missed from the circle
of those who are interested in the
cause of the Episcopal church and
the Masters work at large.
The funeral was largely attend
ed by the citizens of Logan, who
in every way tried to help the es-
teemed husband and sons to bear
their grief. The funeral was
largely attended by friends from
the different towns of the valley
where Rev. Bnckland has church
supervision, as we'll as the citizens
of Logan, who tried in every way to
show their sympathy to the hus-
band and sons of the deceased.
Her death was as she lived, peace
full.
heard the voice of Jesus say
Come unto me and rest;
Lay down, poor weary one, lay down,
Thy head upon My breast.
Mrs. Ruckla was the dangh-
ter of the late Hugh Morrison,
ESD, Magistrate of County Sligo,
Ireland. She came to Manitoba,
Canada, in 1890, where she met
her husband, who was then en-
gagged as missionary in the
Church of England to Crea In
dians. After a short courtship
they were married. Soon after
wards Mrs. Buckland moved to
Montreal and her husband return
ed to Mackenzie Riyer over the
Arctic Circle, where he remained
for some time among the Eskimo.
She did not hear from her hus-
band for nearly two years. In the
meantime, she had received rum
ors that the ship he went on had
been wrecked on it's way to the
Arctic. For nearly two years this
noble woman, with her little fam
ily, did not know the truth of this
until she received telegram from
North Labrador that her husband
was safe on his way home.
Mr.. Buckland accompanied her
family from Ottawa Canada here,
whore they give mp regular parish
work of the church of England to
engage in the laborious work of
The Hooking Valley. The Rev.
Buckland informs MS that his wife
was the first member of the church
to which he was called upon to lay
aside in the grave,
1t was the intention of the fam
ily TO remove the beloved remains
to Rev. Bnckland's home In
Montreal, hut the Rev. gentleman
says that the love, affection and
sympathy expressed tn him and
family by the people Of Logan and
the valley appeals 20 him to put
her remains in the community of
those whose love will never be for
gotten by him. Logan to him
now is the dearest spot on the
earth and will be so. Truly the
American people he says are sym
pathetic and loving.

construction of sewers in River
dale, aud other extensions in LO-
gan. The estimate carried with ii
an expenditure of about 81 900,
a much needed work it is, and an
Improvement to Logan long hoped
for. (See ordinance in another
column of this paper.)
Mr.. Comfy spoke on the subjec
of the Improvement and the issue
of the bonds. The point that he
sought to make was that the time
of the retirement Of the first bond
should' be as far away as possible,
because of other bonds that must
be met. However, the ordinance
designating 1910 for the first pay
ment was agreed to be satlsfac-
tory. The rules were suspended,
the second and third readings of
the ordinance dispensed with, and
the ordinance passed unanimous
ly. We are indeed glad that Riv-
erdale has drainage in sight. The
Council say the work will be push
ed to completion before the snow
flies.
An ordinance was presented to
provide for putting name plates on
the street corners, but discussion
arose as to the designation Of the
south east and north west corners,
and that provision was not all to-
gether satisfactory. That ordi-
nance, and one providing for num-
bering the houses, and an ordi-
nance to license plumbers, were all
referred to the ordinance commit
tee, to confer with City Solicitor
H. M. Whitcraft, and take the
matter up in agreed fora at the
next meeting.
The putting of name plates of
streets at each crossing and num-
bering houses is Gel talnly one of
the conveniences that Logan is
much in need of.
