The following dispatch will be of
interest to a few in this section:
Ashland, Wis. Dec. 15.-The prop
erty of the Northwestern Cooperative
Coal and Dock company was sold
under foreclosure proceedings 10 the
Northern Dredge company of Duluth
today for 500, 707, the amount of the
dredging claims.
The company vas started abour
three years ago by farmers of the
Dakotas, Minnesota, Iowa and Wis
cousin. The expense of promoting
the project is said to have been heavy
and the organizers, it is said, were
bitterly fought by the coal barons.
The failure is not due to competi-
ton of the coal companies, however,
as intimated in the above. There has
been no drop in the price of coal,
The fact is that the company never
owned any coal. AS soon as coal was
placed on the dock, it was in the
hands of Fred Erickson, agent fol
lessee, who was the original wne Of
the coal. The company's agents re-
presented some time ago hat the
dock was complete and that the com
pany had purchased a stock Of all
kinds Of coal. Had the 9 own

old home in Norway. Letters before
the return indicate that he enjoyed
the time wonderfully amid the scenes
of childhood but we know that he

judges, who were Alvina Rehfeld,
Leroy Hunt and r. G. Streeter, was
in favor Of the negative. At the close
of the program refreshments were
served.
Our friend Britt Aspinwall out at
Brooks, Oregon, declared to Roy
Murdick that he had all kinds of
confidence in Fred Wright and his
INDEPENDENT, but, for all of that, he
couldn't manage to swallow that story
about the South Dakota barn built
on willow posts and growing an
additional story every year or two.
Britt says they can tell some big
stories out there, but they have the
documents to prove them. As much
as we dislike to do it, we will have to
admit to Britt that we have lost the
documentary evidence TO prove the
barn story. But if Britt will come
back and make las a visit we can prove
even a bigger story than that. The
whole state of South Dakota has
grown two or three stories since be
left. The price of land is now four
stories high as compared with what it
was a few years ago, we have been
raising two-story crops and selling
them at two story prices; the farmers
bank accounts run up onto the tenth
floor, instead of a basement full of
chattle mortgages. We have grown
some, Britt, even if the barn story
was put up a little too high.

the foremost citizens Of Kingsbury

by all the old timers, who will unite

to the bereaved family. That our
old friend stood high in the estima-

tribute paid him in the following
obituary published in the Daily Ore
gou Statesman, of Portland:
OBITUARY.
Ashley M. Aspinwall was born
April 20, 1857, at Pennington, Wis j,
and died at St. Vncent's hospital,
Portland. Ore, Nov. 80, 1908. The
deceased was a well known, highly
honored and beloved citizen of Brooks
and vicinity. While he had been
ailing for some time, his sudden and
untimely death came as a shock to
his devoted family and many friends.
He was reared in Pennington, Wis,
and at the early age of q was mar
ried to Ellen Ormsby. They remain
ed at Pennington until the spring
of 1884 when they removed to South
Dakota, where they lived for Is years.
Becoming interested in the possibili-
ties of the Willamette valley, he, to-
gether with his family, came west
and located at Brooks, Oregon. His
genial spirit, generous heart and clear
business methods soon placed him
among the first in social and business
circles, ever ready to give a helping
hand to the needy and alleviate suf-
fering humanity wherever self sac
rafice and tender sympathy could
sooth the aching heart, he won a fond
remembrance from those friends who
will ever cherish his memory. His
cheerful smile and hearty laugh
accompanied with rare wit and
pleasant stories, constantly SUI
rounded him with happy hearts of
all ages and sex. In business mat
tiers he was deep and broad and
sought to build up the community in
which he lived. He was one of the
principal organizers of the Brooks
Fruit Growers association, was a
highly esteemed member of the Pa
irons Of Husbandry, an honored mem
Der of the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows, and a member of good stand
ing in the A. O. u. w. and d. of H..
He left to mourn his loss a loving
wife and eleven children whose stand
ing in social circles is a credit to his
memory. They are Ray, Britt, Phil,
Pierre, Carl, Hugh, Mark, Harold,
Kenneth, Ruth and Helen. He is al
50 survived by four brothers and five
sisters, all in eastern states except
Mrs. Sias, of Forest Grove, Ore. His
funeral services were held at Brooks
and he was laid at rest at Salem in
the Odd Fellows cemetery, his burial
being conducted by that order.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in thy grave so low,
Thou no more wilt join III number,
Thou no more our DRAWS know.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fed;
And in heaven with JOY TO greet thee,
Where no farewell tears are she'd"

TAMMANY AND NEW YORK.

nj OTING that the Democratic national ticket
failed to win in Greater New York city at
the recent election, Mr. Bryan, in his newspaper,
asks Tammany Hall for an explanation. Tam
many, he says, took part in the Denver conven-
ton. helped write the platform, and the candi-
dates were supposed to be agreeable to the Tam
many men. And yet Tammany failed to deliver
New York city, the time stronghold of De-
mocracy.
Mr. Bryan points out that when Judge Parker
the candidate of the party for president the
Democrats carried New York by only slight
majority Eight years ago Mr. Bryan won the
greater city So it appears to Mr.. Bryan and to
others as we'll that neither a conservative nor
radical Democratic candidate for president is able
to win New York by the old-tne majority The
truth seems to be that New York city on national
issues, has been drifting away from the Demo
cratic party and that New York no longer be
classed in the doubtful column.
Many changes have been working in that city.
The Democratic leaders have lost the confidence
of many former Democrats in the city, and the
notable men who were formerly active in Demo
cratic affairs of New York have ceased to adhere
to the party as it is now managed. And there is
no prospect of an immediate change. In TACT,
there is a large independent vote in New York
that goes FIRST to one candidate and then to an
other That vote explains the failure OF Mr..

FEDERATION AND INJUNcT1oNs.

introduced concerning .njunctons issued by the
courts during labor troubles. The resolution de-
clared it to be the duty of the enjoined to dis
obey and go to JAIL for contempt of court The
idea for the labor unions to show their resent
ment towards the courts in such cases and thereby
bring themselves into conflict with the judiciary
This suggestion defeated by an over
whelming vote in the Federation but a resolu-
ton was passed calling upon enioined officers to
defend themselves "at all hazards" exercising all
