OBITUARY.

Walter Bryan Hamper, who de-
parted this life near Meeker July
"a, 1903, was born in the City of
Bath, England May 81, 1879, thus
making him little over 30 years Of
age. Was IN Ceylon for Il number Of
years as tea planter, but after re-
turning to his home he decided to
come to Colorado in 1894, Mr.. f. 8.
r. Sanderson, one of our fellow
townsmen who Is also an English
man by birth, being mainly instru-
mental in getting him here. He
preempted 80 acres Of fine land some
IL miles below Meeker, built SUBJ
stantial dwelling house thereon and
went into the stock raising business,
which he has conducted ever since.
On April 10, 1901, Mr.. Hamper was
married to Miss Hilda Barnwell at
Ockbrook House, near Derby, Eng
land, and later returned to his White
river possessions. Some four years
ago his health began failing, and, to-
gether with his wife, made an ex-
tended trip to the land of his youth.
The visit proved beneficial, but it
was only temporary, and last sprisAy
getting materially worse, he con-
suited eminent specialists who gave
him no hope. The dreaded disease
consumption-had such firm hold
on him that it could not be overcome
and he calmly resigned himself to
his fate, and Strengthened out his
worldly affairs before the final sum-
mons come. Besides the bereaved
widow, deceased leaves sister and
two nieces in London.

Difficulties Overcome.

~. Albert Pierce, son of promi-
nent Colorado stockman, graduated
from the State University, receiving
the degree Of b. A., and diploma
from the department of pharmacy,
having accomplished his course Of
study under difficulties which make
his record remarkable. For the last
eleven years he has been totally deaf.
At the same time he completed
courses which usually require six
year, In four. He states that he
owes much to Miss Sale, of North
Hampton, Mass, who is considered
to be the most proficient lip reading
teacher in the United States.'
The above is taken from recent
issue of the Young Peoples Weekly,
a periodical given to the scholars
of st. James Sunday-school, and was
handed THE HERALD by one Of the
scholars who reads her number regu-
larly. 1t happens that the ''hero' Of
the above sketch is just now visiting
relatives here, having come in from

The white-Bear Banquet.

1t was y real white bear banquet
to which the citizens Of Meeker sat
down Wednesday night with the
party which has been travelling
through this valley under the chap
eronage of Mr.. James ID. Hustled.
For i'm the center Of the tables In the
Meeker hotel dining room white
Teddy bear, reared himself aloft on u
cake Of sea-green ice-or, at least, 1t
appeared to be ice.
1t was 8:l5 when the large COM
pany took their places at the tables,
beautified with flowers and tempting
in the display Of good things for the
inner man.
And when the fierce attacks upon
White river trout, Rio Blanco
county ham and Meeker chickens
had ceased, Col. Montgomery, pre-
siding as toastnaster, welcomed the
visiting gentlemen and introduced u
number of speakers.
Mr.. James H. Hustled, president Of
the White Bear Land and Cattle Co,
first took the floor, reviewing the
trip thus far and giving brief de-
scription of the personnel of his
party. District Attorney J. G. Cen
try and Mr.. A. g. MOultOn extended
hearty welcome to the guests, and
Mr.. Isaac Baer spoke at some length
regarding the resources Of Rio Blanco
county.
OF the visitors Mr.. l.. H. Alexan-
der, an attorney from Philadelphia,
spoke approximately of the treat
ment received by the party at the
hands of the Western people, and
uttered some words of prophecy re-
garding the cattle industry of this
country based upon statistics of pop
ulation.
H. G. Bronson, Of Lincoln, Nebr.,
a breeder Of short-horn cattle, gave
some sound advice upon the matter
of cattle breeding, and Thos. NJ.
Hunter, in closing, made humorous
comments on some of the addresses
previously delivered, concluding
with some earnest words as to the
character of the people who had
developed the resources of Colorado
thus far.
The Rev. j.. H. Dennis had word
to say regarding the moral and relig-
ious life and prospects Of the people
of this district, taking occasion to
thank the visitors for a generous. Of
fering of $l75 to his work, made last
Sunday at church service in Blu
ford conducted by the Rev. DIR. H. g.
Minton, of Trenton, N. j.
DIR. Minton was intimately associ-
ated with the late Bishop Knight
and is close friend of Bishop Scar
borough of New Jersey, the deceased
Bishops father-in-law. 1t was the
plan of Bishop Knight to have
chapel erected at Buford, and this
money will be devoted, it IL. hoped In
the near future, to that purpose.
1t was midnight when the gather
ing dispersed, and Mr.. Willis Mont
gomery's invitation that the guests
stop at the Cross-L ranch on their
way to Lily Park was accepted.
Thursday morning the party left
for the company's property on the
Bear and expected to camp Mt Cedar
Springs that night.
