PIONEER PASSES AWAY
Andrew Siefarth Dies at His Home in
This City Aged rs Years and
A Months.

Andrew Siefarth, an aged and
respected citizen of Dallas, a pioneer
Of Oregon and veteran of the Indian
War, died suddenly at his home yes
terday aged rs years.
Mr.. Siefarth's early life was quite
adventurous. He was born in Long
alaw, Prussia, December 2, 1888, and,
his mother dying when he was but
three years Of age. he came to America
with his father in 1889. They settled
at Quincy, Illinois, where he worked
at the cooper and shoemaker's trade
until 1850, when he left that state and
started, in company with six others,
for the mines Of California.
The party was forsaken near the
sink of the Humboldt river by their
teamsters, who found their provisions
running low, and they Were obliged
to continue their journey on foot. In
crossing the Humboldt desert several
of his companions died of hunger and
fatigue and Mr. Siefarth and one
other barely escaped with their lives.
After remaining in California about
four months, during which he mined
with good success, he became dis
gusted with the rough company he
was obliged to keep and decided to
come to Oregon. The trip from Cali
fornia to Oregon was made by water
and here again he narrowly escaped
death by shipwreck.
Until 1856 he lived rather rowing
life, mining and working at various
places, meeting with many adventures
especially in his prospecting exper-
fences. In 1856 the Indian War broke
out and he decided to enlist, serving
faithfully through the entire struggle
In 1858 he married Polly G.. Bowen
aud after six years residence in Mar
ion county, he came to this county.
From that time until his death he
resided continuously in or near Dal-
las.
He is survived by his wife and the
following children: Willard O., Ed
ward W., George W., Mrs. Minnie
Morris, Nora B, Andrew p, Mrs.
Carrie Campbell, Mrs. Linnie Shep-
herd, Mrs. Sadie Muscott and Mrs.
Clevea Shepherd. Three of his child
reb died before him: John c., Alpha
and Grover.
The funeral will be held in the
Christian Church tomorrow WED
nesday) afternoon at o'clock, the
Rev. G. A. Sias conducting the SER
vices. Burial will take place in the
old Dallas cemetery.
Mr.. Siefarth was man of strong
religious nature. He united with the
Methodist Church in his youth, and
throughout his life abode steadfastly
by his religious convictions. A man
of kindly impulses, the list Of his
friends included nearly all who knew
him and his sudden but peaceful pass
ing from among lis will evoke from
all a reverential tribute to the long
and active life that has drawn thus
serenely to its close.

SIBERIAN HARD TACK.
Many Uses Of q Bread Much Favored
In Cold Countries.

Many Uses Of q Bread Much Favored
In Cold Countries.
OF all the hard tack breads Of thu
universe have found by actual e1.
perience the small ringed bread Of
Siberia the most substantial. When
the Russian engineering parties
were constructing the Siberian rail,
road this white ring bread with the
roarse rye bread was their main
staff Of life.
It is made without salt or yeast
and is first steamed, then lightly
baked to expel the moisture. Some
curious uses were made Of these
breads by the engineers. When
soaked in hot pure tallow for a few
moments till they sank they were
used in soups or soaked in and eat
en- with tea during the severe win
Ter months. This tallow bread was
considered the most heat producing
article in the dietary. 1t should be
utilized by our arctic explorers.
Another curious use to which il
IL. put is as an extempore candle or
coffeepot boiler. A nail is used to
make about eight holes in the tai.
low ring bread. Wax vestas are
placed in these and ignited. 1t will
burn slowly for about an hour,
emitting strong heat, sufficient to
warm and light a small tent and
boil the tea or coffee water. There
is a rather strong odor of toasting
bread, but that is tolerated in pref
erence to smoke. While sojourning
Within engineers in Siberia I have
also seen them using the larger
sizes of ringed bread as makeshift
quoits for Sunday afternoon sport
ins their tents, and the bread would
stand the knocking about pretty
well and would eventually appear
IN the soup at the evening meal.
Small Siberian storekeepers also
use the ringed bread as an abacus
or primitive counting apparatus for
calculating small sums in rubles and
kopecks and simple figuring. Three
strings are suspended above the
counter. Ten breads are strung on
each. The top line represents the
rubles, their money transactions
rarely going above ten, and the two
lower strings stands for the kopecks
OF course the strings Of bread can
be increased to mount into the
thousands and up if desired.-Sci-
entific American.

Too Tiuht a Squeeze.

John Fiske, the historian, was a
man Of enormous stature and ex,

occasion when he was visiting a

and her daughter invited Mr.. Fiske
to drive with them one morning.
The road is picturesque one,
which winds along the river at the
foot of the mountains. At one point
