ers up the Rogue River valley, and
it was his boast that he served two
years with the distinction of having
never come into contact with hostile
redskin.
About two months ago he purchas-
ed a lot in the cemetery and attended
to the specifications of tomb which
was constructed of iron and concrete.
At that time he informed a Press re-
porter that his. health was normal,
but that he experienced horror at the
idea of earth burial, and that he want
ed his tomb ready to receive him
when the end came. From the time
work commenced on the tomb it was
noticeable that his strength began to
fail. In a few days he was taken to
his bed, and gradually declined to the
end.
He was born in Knox county, Illi-
nois, March 1S. 1885, and came to
Oregon in 1858. In 1878 he was unit
ed in marriage to Miss Emma Mo-
sier, who died a year after. He made
his home of late years with his twin
brother, Frank Mansfield of this city.

Hastens the End.

B. F. Mansfield, a we'll known pio-

day morning at the home of his
brother, Frank Mansfield, aged 73
years, 9 months and IL days, says the
Athena Press.
Mr.. Mansfield had been seriously
i'll for nearly two months and the end
did not come as surprise to those
who have been familiar with his con-
dition.
While his physical condition failed
rapidly in the past few weeks, a
wound on his knee had long been sap
ping the vitality of his declining years
and from time to time he had been
confined to his bed on account of this.
Doc" Mansfield, as he was known
to the people of Umatilla county and
eastern Oregon, was a man endowed
with many good traits Of character
and marked peculiarities. He was
true as steel TO friendship and kind
hearted to a fault. His chief satisfac-
ton and delight was found in re-
counting pioneer incidents, and he
took deep interest in current events
of his home community, the state and
nation.
He was veteran of the Rogue Riv-
er Indian war and his remarkable
memory was stored with every incl
dent and detail of that pioneer trial
Of hardship. His service of action in
the Indian war was to escort travel

GERM TRAPS WILL
BE PUT ON PHONES

Millions OF tubercular bacilli, lurk-

city, had their death warrants signed
last night when the board of health
adopted resolution that may re-
quire the Pacific States Telephone
company to place a germ trap upon
every telephone mouthpiece rented to
one of its subscribers, says the S. F.
Examiner
The board has been examining the
mouthpieces OF telephones and has
found that germs make veritable no
tells of them and are to be found in
their recesses in astonishing numbers.
Hence the regulation passed last night
will force the telephone company to
add a new feature to its service.
The board will ask the supervisors
to pass an ordinance compelling the

Chairman NJ. B. Gwlnn Isues Call for
Commktee TO Meet at Association
Rooms Wednesday Evening-Nor-
mai School Needs and Branch In
sane Asylum VIII Be Discussed
Roster of Committee.

For the purpose of talking over the
legislation desired by this county the
general committee of 10 appointed to
represent the county before the COM
ing legislature will meet here next
Wednesday evening.
An announcement to this effect was
made today by Monte B. Gwinn.
chairman of the committee. The meet
ing will be held in the rooms of the
Commercial association in the even
| ing. 1t is earnestly desired to have
all members of the committee pres
ent.
The coming meeting will be the
first one held by the committee and
at its session more definite plans will
be worked out regarding the work to
be done.
First In importance among the
wants of the county the experiment
station for the west end is placed by
the majority of people. in this city and
throughout the county. The expert
ment station will furnish lively topic
for discussion at the coming meeting
on the evening before the committee
meets, President Kerr of the agrlcul-
tural college, will be here for the o.
A. C. alumni banquet and while here
he will give members of the commit
tee all the information he has upon
the subject.
Aside from the experiment station
the question of a needed appropria-
ton for the Weston normal school
will also come up. In papers else
where than Pendleton stories have
been published to the effect that
Pendleton people would trade OFF,
the Weston normal for the branch
asylum provided such a deal was pos
sible.
But representative local people in
dlgnantly deny ever having entertain
ed such an idea.
"If we get the asylum we want 1t
upon the merits of the case and we do
not want to trade off what we already
have to get it," declares Senator c. ].
Smith. His view apparently reflects
the unanimous sentiment of the Una
tilla delegation and also of local peo-
pie in general.
The following are the members of
the lobbying committee that has been
called together for next Wednesday
evening:

ITS OWN LIGHTS

Not only for the purpose OF exhib-
iting the remarkable success OF the
gasoline engine in generating light
but also from an economical stand
point. the Nissen store is now being
lighted by its own system of electric
lights, some so incandescent globes
being placed throVhout the big sales

operation.
The gasoline engine is proving
factor in solving the light problem in
many places over the country and
Mr. Nissen is confident that it will be
OF advantage to any person interested
to investigate this method. He has
recently purchased a carload Of Ala

FOR 1000. .OOO-ACRE TRACT

Yellowed with age, and torn with

tract, scrawled in the Spanish Of the
early eos, has been resurrected from
the resting place it finally found
among many old documents Of like
character and, through its owner,
Jacob r. Leese, of 233 Lake street,
one Of California's pioneers, is to be-
gin new life Of usefulness, says the
San Francisco Examiner. The con-
tract was drawn in 1863, and was an
agreement to colonize an immense
area in Lower California 1t expired
in 1866. but Leese hopes that through
the kindness Of President Diaz Of
Mexico it yet may bring him small
amount OF money or land.

TELLS FOOTBALL STORY
Star Aggregation of Sugar Beet Town
Wins Christmas Football Match
With Sensational Run-Company
LIS Representatives Were Badly
Outweished But Played Good
Game-Return Match.

BY such a victory as that which
won for Pendleton the state cham
pionship from the Baker City foot
ball team last year, the stars of the
La Grande Commercial club defeat
ed the game little team of Company
L of this city in La Grande yester-
day, the score being to 0.
The one touchdown scored by the
Grande Ronde boys was made when
with the ball deep in the La Grande
territory that side was forced to punt.
The ball went way over Captain
Turner of Pendleton and was seized
on first bounce by Nelson, La
Grandes left end, who carried 1t for
6O-yard run to the line. The goal
kick failed.
The La Grande team outwelghed
the boys from Company L at least Is
pounds to the man, and put up
against the light line of the locals a
solid wall of 200-opunders. However
their strength was entirely in de-
fense and they were able to make but
few gains through the Pendleton
line. La Grande also tried some fake
plays which did not work.
The old stars confined themselves
mostly to the old style Of football
and played a most evenly matched
game. Turner was the star of the
day. figuring in most every play and
making Pendleton's only consistent
gains with a fake quarterback run
around the ends. Jim Thompson
figured in the most sensational play
of the day when he got away with
the ball around the end for a 40
yard run, but was unable to score a
touchdown upon 1t.
The local boys expect to get in
some practice during the coming
week and the game TO be played In
this city on New Years. 1t is predict
ed by those who saw the game at La
Grande yesterday, will be one Of the
best football exhibitions seen here
this year.

FINDS WESTERN FARMERS
ARE PROGRESSIVE

II am surprised to find the extent
to which the farmers of Washington
understand and practice scientific
tillage as 1 advocate it," is the state
ment made by H. w. Campbell, sci
entific farmer. from Lincoln. Neb.,
who is giving a series of lectures to
farmers of eastern Washington under
the auspices Of Washington State col
lege, says the Spokesman Review.
"One of the things we insist upon
in preparing the soil is a packer, or
the use of something which will ac-
complish the same purpose The
packer is a series of discs, on which
the body of the machine rides, turn
ing on a long axle. The edges of the
discs are beveled on each side. so that
there is a downward and lateral push
given the soil, packing it thoroughly
al a depth of seven or eight inches
and insuring the proper proportion of
air and water.

tlons had considerable circulation in
Washington, but did not know to
what extent they had adopted our
methods. I was told at the Washing
ton State college that the subject has
been talked and taught there for sew
eral years and that one of the pack
ers was carried on an exhibit train
which went around the country a
while ago.
Packing OF Soil Essential.
"The packing Of the soil is partic.
uarly beneficial in this country where
the volcanic ash has a tendency to
loosen up anyway. The system of
mulching the surface of the soil is
followed here but the bene-
fits of packing below the surface are
not commonly secured"
