sleep.

New York His father, Daniel r.
Howe, WAS proud TO trace his ancestory
back to that old branch of the family
that came from England and settled in
Connecticut in the seventeenth century.
He also found in his research that he
was related to Julia Ward Howe, John
A.sLogan, Mrs. Benjamin Harrison and
several other distinguished persons.
Mr.. Howe's parents lived in several
places in New York, finally settling in
Westernville, Oneida county. During
his earlier manhood he was employed
on Black River and Erie canals. In the
fifties he was employed in Cleveland,
Ohio, and came to Alma from Cleveland
in February 1858. He was married tc
Entencia {. Gee of Pewamo in Man

in section ten. Arcadia. They were the
parents of FIVE children; Caroline +.
who died in 1874; George H.. who lives
at Mckinley, Mich; W. A., of this
city: @. Irving who lives in Battle
Greek; and Joseph e, who lives in
Toledo, Ohio; Mrs. Howe died March
9, 1901.
Mr.. Howe returned to Westernville
New York in 1880. During the war he
enlisted twice but was ordered home as
imam stay Of the family which con.
sisted ut that time of his aged parents
bis wife and three children, and the
wife and children Of his youngei
brother, John, who went out at the first
call for volunteers.
In 1866 he returned to his farm one
mile south of Alma, where he lived unit

ORCHARD STOCK COMPANY
Two LeavenwOrth Men Promote Fruit
Growing Company Near We
natchee

I. B. C. Fisher was here the first
Of this week from Wenatchee. He
says G. H. Moore, and himself are en-
gagged in promoting a fruit growing
company. Both parties removed from
Leavenworth to Wenatchee a year
ago. The Republic of last week said
of the enterprise:
The Old Homestead orchard, owned
by G. H. Moore, is to be incorporated
and placed on the market for the bene-
fit OF small investors who want to put
their money in fruit culture, but who
have not enough capital to go into
the business for themselves. This is
the first proposition of the sort accord
ing to Mr.. Moore, in this locality.
The orchard is the old Hull place
on Squillchuck Canyon, consisting Of
100 acres. 1t is regarded as one Of
the finest properties on the Miller
ditch. The first apples were taken
off this year and in three more seasons
it will be paying large return. 1t is
Mr.. Moore's plan to capitalize it at
$4,000. The stock will be held at
81 share and will be sold in blocks
of 500 shares, on easy terms.
The temporary organization Of the
company will consist Of G. H. Moore,
president; M. Willis Lawrence, vice
president; I. B. c. Fisher, secretary
and treasurer. Mr.. Moore has num-
Der of other interests that require his
attention, so that he believes it will be
well to make this sort of an arrange
ment. He expects however, to give
the place great deal of his personal
attention. Corporation papers will be
filed at Olympia at once.
