GROVER CLEVELAND DEAD.
PASSED AWAY
SUDDENLY AT PRINCETON.
He Had Been in Bad Health for SeV'
eral Months But Not ConS1d-
cred as Serious.

Princeton, N. j., June 24.-Ex-
President Grover Cleveland died sud
denly at his home here at $40 this
morning. While his death was un-
expected, he had been i'll for num-
Der of weeks and his condition was
weakened. Only yesterday DR.. 10
seph T. Bryant, of New York, paid a
visit to MIR. Cleveland's home but the
information was subsequently gwen
out that the visit was not occasloned
by alarming condition of the former
president.
Ex-President Cleveland had been in
yited to attend the conference OF gov
ernors at Washington, but was TOO
III to be present. Through all the
long fight for health, the one bright
snot in the battle against disease has
heen the devotion and untiring at
tention of Mrs. Cleveland. She was
constantly at her husbands BEDSIDE
and no fatigue was too great II II
alleyiated the suffering Of her nus
band.
At once after her husbands death
Mrs. Cleveland collapsed. 1t mark
ed the end of terrible struggle,
which had been waged for years IN
the interest of her. husbands healtn'
However, the wife rallied.
DR.. Bryant, who has been the
Cleveland family physician for years.
issued an official statement to-day IN
which he said:
"For many years Mr. Cleveland
has been sufferer from gastro-in-
testinal troubles, complicated with
liver and kidney complaint. The
cause of his death to-day was heart
failure complicated with liver trou-
bles.''
Before noon today messages oegan
| to pour in expressing sorrow over
the death of Mr.. Cleveland. Among
the first received were from Presi-
dent Roosevelt, at Oyster Bay, and
Secretary w. H. Taft, at New Haven.
All through his illness Mr.. Cleve-
lands mail was filled with letters ex-
pressing sympathy and wishing him
| a speedy recovery.
/ Among the chief events in the life
of Grover Cleveland none will be so
well remembered as the repeal OF the
Sherman silver purchase act, which
forced the government to buy a Ger
tain amount of silver monthly. he
attributed the panic of 1898 to the
measure and Immediately did away
with it.
In 1893 he delivered his famous
Venezuelan message and caused Eng
! land to stop encroaching on the ter
ritory of that country.
He took the position that the Mon
roe doctrine made the United States
supreme in the Western Hemisphere
In both of his elections to the pres
idency he opposed thousands of Dem
ocrats- who were for the free coinage
of silver.
I He was elected mayor of Buffalo,
and his record was such he received
the nomination for governor. ne
made a record here, too, which LED
to his nomination for the Presidency.

MORE BASKETBALL
Dallas Will Begin Second Half of
Season With Game With
Ashland Normal.

The basketball season in Dallas will
recommence Saturday evening after
a lapse Of nearly month, when the
home aggregation will meet the five
from the Ashland Normal. On the
preceding pight friday the college
team will play their third league
game for this season, against the
Salem Y. M. @. A. and the Dallas
''rooters" are preparing to send over a
bigger delegation than has ever before
supported the home team on foreign
floor.
The Dallas team holds the dis
tinction of being the only undefeated
team in the Oregon League this sea-
son, and everything indicates an
indefinite contin uation of it's unbroken
run Of victories. Playing on strange
court seems to have practically no
effect on the machine-like precision of
its team work, and the excellent
physical condition of each individual
player makes it possible to carry a
game either by speed or by sheer
muscular force, according to the tactics
adopted by the opposing team.
1t is highly probable that the
M. A. A. @. and the Portland Y. M. @. A.
will be tied in the Northern division
of the league, and an effort will be
made to secure the deciding game of
the series for the Dallas floor. Ifthis
is done, there will be practically no
break in the series of games played in
this city, from now until the end Of
the season.

THE HAWLEY LINCOLNS
Sheep Raised on Mccoy, Polk County,
Farm Have No SuperiOrs in
the World.

A negro once said "When any one
says dinner that means me-" Like
wise when any one mentions the Lin
coin sheep he must at least think of
@. L. Hawley. junior partner of the
firm Of Hawley & Son, near Mccoy,
Oregon.
Mr.. Hawley has earned the distinc-
tion of raising and exhibiting the
largest Lincoln lamb ever shown in
the United States, according to the
statement of the secretary of the
American Lincoln Association. This
lamb at 7 months and 25 days old
weighed PA pounds, was we'll wooled
and good type, and was sold to William
Riddell & Sons to head their fine flock
of Lincolns. His sire is yet being
used by Mr.. Hawley as a stud ram
and was grand champion at the St
Louis exhibition as yearling.
About 100 breeding ewes are kept by
Messrs. Hawley all the time and they
have just purchased ten Lincoln ewes
direct from Ontario, Canada. These
ewes are part of the recent importa-
ton Of the A. A. Bates Sheep Com
mission Company, Of which J. G. S.
Hubbard of Hillsdale is the coast
agent. Mr.. Hawley is we'll pleased
with them and expects to get 100 eve
lambs from Canada in the spring.
They find that sheep raising and the
raising of clover seed go nicely to-
gether. One crop of wheat is raised
and clover seeded with it !; this is then
pastured with sheep until about June
l, and that fall seed crop is harvested.
They find it doesn't pay to leave it
stand more than two years but this
gives them three crops with but one
plowing, besides the sheep pasture. I
saw one 40-acre field that had been
pastured last spring till June and
$1680 worth of clover seed threshed
from 1.-THE past fall.
ILL., AdWlOy Guluho CudG IuO Aduu Ill
Western Oregon can't be put to any
better use than the raising of Lincoln
sheep and clover with an occasional
crop Of wheat when seeding the clover
However, he says that on land that is
not inoculated-land that has never
raised clover-it pays better to seed
the clover alone the first year for then
you will get good stand, otherwise 1t
is doubtful. Pacific Homestead.

Successful School Meeting.

The School Officers Parents and
Teachers Meeting held in Falls City,
Saturday, was very successful and
made most favorable beginning for
the series that is to be held in various
districts Of Polk County in future.
The addresses were practical and to
the point, and the teachers and par
ents who were present showed great
freedom and interest in the discussion
of the thoughts advanced by the
speakers of the day. Atthe noon hour
over 100 visiting school officers and
teachers were given a fine banquet in
the reception room of the schoolhouse.
Superintendent Seymour says that he
is highly satisfied with the success Of
this meeting in arousing the enthusi-
asm of teachers, parents and children
for the betterment of school conditions,
and he expects to see even greater
advances made at the meeting which
is to be held in Mccoy next Saturday.

MANY GROWERS SIGN
Conrad Krebs Presides Over Dallas
Meeting and Makes Strong
Plea For Union.

| The number of hop growers from al
parts Of Polk county, who attended the
meeting of the Hop Growers Associ
alton held in Dallas, Saturday, showed
that there has been no abatement Of
interestin that movement which seems
destined to culminate in one Of the
strongest and most extensive agricul-
tural organizations in the United
States. Conrad Krebs, Of Salem, one
OF the influential hop men of Oregon,
presided over the meeting, having
come to Dallas for the purpose OF
explaining fully the workings Of the
Pacific Coast organization, and if
possible, adding still more of the
names of Polk County growers to the
growing membership list of the Union.
s. Fl. Petre, of Bridgeport, read the
bylaws of the Pacific Coast Hop
Growers Union, and Mr.. Krebs
explained fully each section as it was
read.
Mr.. Krebs has made an exhaustive
study of these bylaws, knows every
point Of strength or of weakness in
them, and is fully prepared to explain
them in the clearest manner possible.
His discourse, Saturday afternoon,
would have been of great interest to
anyone, whether personally interested
in hop growing or not, for it showed
more clearly than has ever been shown
the marvellous perfection of the
machinery of thatorganization which
is rapidly growing into definite form
and power in the three Pacific States.
Every objection or question offered
by those present at the meeting was
successfully met and answered by Mr..
Krebs and at the close of the session
many hop growers who had thus far
held out of the association, signed
their names to the bylaws and entered
into membership. H. G.. Campbell,
secretary of the Polk County Associ-
alton, has sent men throughout the
entire county with copies of the by
laws of the Union, and the member
ship now comprises practically all of
the important hop growers. Simil r
progress is reported in the neighboring
counties Of Oregon, and it is hoped
that the Pacific Coast Hop Growers
Union will soon have become suffi-
GENTLY strong to begin effective and
aggressive work with the commencing
Of the next hop season.
