An Old Pioneer Gone.

Damase Charbonneau passed quietly
away at his home in Olga last Thursday
evening after lingering illness which
he bore with a calm fortitude and
patience that was characteristic of his
whole life.

as it is sometime called. came on up the
mountain to Olga, filed on d homestead
and resided thereon up to few years
ago when he purchased residence in
town and gave up farming. Since
residing here he has gained the love and
respect of all and his family has the

store through rear window and helped
himself to suit of clothes, an over coat
and an extra coat, besides gold watch
and chain belonging to Mr.. Myrand.
The crash of the breaking glass was
heard by Cashier Tjosvold, of the State
Bank of Nekoma who called the atten-
ton of Constable Dave Moore and Mr.
Mcmillan to the disturbance. The trio
went to investigate and came in time to

desperate man probably adds to his
chances of escape.

What is an inch of rain? San acre is
6,272,64O square inches. An inch of
water on an acre is therefore 6,272,64O
cubic inches. That amount, at 227
cubic inches to the gallon. equals $4,000
gallons, or 100000 pounds, or 100 tons.
An inch of rain is. in other words, rain
falling at the rate of 100 tons to the
acre."
The old Catholic church building at
Walhalla, which has done duty since
1878 for the large congregations OF that
place, and the Elm Point and Fremont
township sections, was bought on Satur.
day by Jos. Boodenstiner. of Fremont
township, who will move it to his farm.
The building is composed principally OF
native poplar, cut on the river banks
and sawed into boards and dimension
stuff at the Mager saw mill. The stills
are of native oak and are as sound as
ever. Its removal from Walballa will
take away about the last of the old land
marks from the towns ite, and while it is
to be regretted for thus reason, it is not
an ornament to the town nor to the
handsome prooerty on which it sits, and
the removal will be for the better all
around.
