HON. JAMES A. M'DONOUGH
Died at His Home at New Grenada, Mon.
day Afternoon After Lingering
Illness.
FUNERAL YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.

1t is with profound regret that
we announce the death of Hon.
James A. McDonough, which oc-
Cured at his home IN New Gre.
NADIA on last Monday afternoon.
Mr.. McDonough was about 81
years of age-was born IN Mer-
cersburg, Pa, and was the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Albert McDonough
and the grandson of James and
Nancy Seylar McDonough, well
known by many Of our older CIT
izens. When very youpg boy,
he came to this county, was EN-.
ployed on farm, attended school
and after preparation taught sew
erai terms with marked success.
He was married January IL,
fl9O6, to Miss Mae Cunningham.
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. N. G..
Cunningham, of New Grenada.
His health, which was never rug.
ged, was very seriously affected
by the loss of his wife, which oc.
Cured two years later, the result
OF the birth of son, Jas. A. Nc.
Donough IlI-now doubly or.
phaned at the age of one year.
Mr.. McDonough, by the inter-
est he manifested in the social
and pubic affairs of the County
was we'll known. He had filled
many local places of responsible
ty and trust, and had not shlrked
his duty as citizen or neighbor.
Obedlent to the traditions of his
clan, as well as through principle,
he was a Democrat, and gave
himself unseltishly to party sue
cess and growth. In the cam
paign Of 1908 he was chosen by
his party to represent his county
in the Legislature of his State,
by a handsome majority. Ill
health assailed him early IN the
Session, when to his great disap.
polntment and that of his sup.
porters, he was obliged to return
home, and patiently await,
through months of confinement
to hs bed, the inevitable end.
In the life, work and success
of James A. McDonough are
many good lessons, and abundant
encouragement to the poor, strug.
Cling, ambitious boy. Beginning
life with nothlng-denied even
the love and affection of parents,
and weighed down by physical
intirmity, he made of them all a
stimulus and, in spite of them
rose to a dignlhed, successful,
honorable manhood, and filled his
place to his own and his county's
advantage.
Mr.. McDonough was a mem
ber of the Presbyterian church
of Wells Valley, and was associa-
ted with the following named fra
ternal societies; Masons, Odd
Fellow and Patriotic Sons of
America all of which participat.
ed IN the burial services at Beth.
ell cemetery Yesterday afternoon.
In addition to the baby son al
ready mentioned, one sister, Mrs
William Smith of Hancock sur
yves him.

liner Learns With AStoniSh-
ment That Length of Haul
Has Nothing to DoWith It,

tBy Morning journal Special Leased WireI
Los Angeles, Oct. 29.-Special Elk
aminer Lyon, Of the interstate COM
merce commission, in the hearing to-
day of the petition of the Los An
geles Jobbers' association for termi-
nal railroad freight rates for san
Pedro, expressed surprise that eastern
and even middle west cities were
able to ship goods to New York n
south by water via the lsthmus Of
T~chuantcpec to the Pacific coast
cheaper than the same material could
be handled directly by rail to the
coast.
One witness testified that Detroit
made such shipments. Another said
that shipments came by the round
about water curse To the Pacific
oas from as far west as Cedar
Rapids, Iowa.
do you mean to say asked Ex-
aminer Lyon, that traffic starts at
Detroit and is routed by rail- to New
York. SOC miles, then to ~Tehuantepee,
by water. then across Tehuantepec
by rail nearly 200 miles, is handled
AT each end of ~Tchuantcpec and is
brought to a Diego. where 1t is
again unloaded and loaded onto ears
and then brought by rail to Los An
gcles, l26 miles further-Do you
mean to say the steamship line does
all this for a less rate than the rail-
roads can haul that business across
the country"
They did IL to san Francisco"
said the witness. and they have the
same rate in effect to Los Angeles"
The hearing was concluded today.
and the decision VIII be rendered
