DEATH OF
T. w. AYERS
Well Known and Respect
ed Pioneer.

JuuBe uOudS w. Ayers, TWICE
county judge of Morrow county
and one Of the Oldest and best
known pioneers of this part of
Eastern Oregon, died at Pendleton
last Saturday morning.
Some time ago he was stricken
with paralysis. In the hopes of
benefitting his health he went to
Pendleton, but a second attack
ended his suffering.
The remains were brought :to
this city by special train from
PendletoD. Sunday evening and
the funeral was conducted from
the Baptist church Monday after
noon.
A large number of people at
tended the funeral services which
were conducted by Rev. R. E.
Story, of Pendleton.
At the services Rev. Story said
in part:
Thomas w. Ayers was born on
March %, SO years ago IN Wash
ington, Iowa. His father and
mother were William and Anna
Ayers, we'll to do farmers of his
native state. When he was %
years of age, in the springtime OF
that year, he started for Oregon,
in company with his brother VIM.
Ayers. With him was his wife,
Sarah Bruce, whom he had lately
mrrried.
October Is, he came into Una.
tilla county. where he settled on
Butter creek. From that time he
identified himself closely with the
development of the counties in
which he ived.
He has contributed largely to
the progress of the county and
state, as farmer, cattle and
sheep rancher, freighter, business
man, and public servant in an
official capacity. In every COM
munity enterprise he was lead
ing spirit. He was one Of the pro-
moters and for many years one of
the officials of the Heppner Light
and Water company.
Mr.. Ayers was richly endowed
with benevolent disposition. He
hsbitually bore good will to those
around him. He delighted to cul-
tivate this trait of character. The
rights and feelings of others ihe
considered, and so fulfilled the
second Of the great command
ments, to love ones neighbor as
ones self. His fraternal dispo-
sition found an outlet in the obli-
cations of Masonry and Pythian
Knighthood.
Though there was much of ge-
nial warmth in the life of MIR.
Ayers-the sunshine of human
kindness, he was not man unac-
quainted with sorrow. Twice in
grief did he lay in the grave the
loved form of wife, the mother
of his children, Sarah Bruce
Ayers, in November, 1873, and
Nancy E. Mcclure Ayers in No
vember. 1887. Death too bad
called again and again at his home
and had left the vacant little
shoes.
There survive him his wife,
Eliza j., whom he married Sep
tember 6, 1888, and four sons and
three daughters. The sons are;
Geo. w. Ayers, of Lewiston,
Montana; W. Albert Ayers, of
Payette, Idaho; Thos. W. Ayers,
of Pendleton, and Edgar B. Ayers,
of this city.
The daughters are:
Mary Elizabeth Kirk, of Pay
cite, Idaho, Ida May Fell, of
Pendleton and Elsie Irene Las-
sitter, of Ritzville, Wash.

new TARIFF BOARD.
Sketches Of Members Appointed
to important Body.
Will Investigate Application Of Max
-'imum and Minimum Rates Of
New Law TO Foreign
Countries.

Washington.-The new foreign tar.
In board recently appointed by the
president Is composed Of the following
three members: Prof. Henry G. EN-
cry, professor Of economics at Yale
university; Mr.. James B. Reynolds,
assistant secretary Of the treasury,
and Mr.. Alvin H. Sanders Of Chicago,
editor and owner of the Breeders Ga
zette.
The appointments were made under
a paragraph Of the new tariff act
which authorizes the president to ex-
pend $4,000 in an investigation OF
the application of the maximum and
minimum rates of the new tariff law
to foreign countries.
It is the purpose Of the president to
use the board for a much broader in
vestigation. In afiixing his signature
to the bill he made public statement
In which he took the ground that the
authorization was such as to enable
him to employ the commission upon
a much wider field than that offered
by the application Of the maximum
and maximum rates. It is expected
that he will make the work Of the
commission almost as comprehensive
as would have been possible had the
movement for a tariff commission not
failed because Of the opposition OF
congress to the proposal that any 9TH
er governmental body have part In
the making Of the tariff laws.

found a scientific student Of the tariff,

"a play on names unconsciously per

very funny" said a Flatbush man the
other day. I'VE live next door to
family named Feitenour, and the other
night while my family was busy read
ing in the library we heard racket
on the back porch. My son went out
to investigate, and on his return my
wife, always inQuisitive, asked what
had caused the noise.
"Nothin. but couple Of cats Jim
told her, and then l heard her ask:
Did you see whose they were?
ayes; one was ours and the other
was Feitenour's.'

Hello ON SUSPICION

Thomas Johnson and Charles Brant
were arrested last night in the south
part of the city on suspicion. Walter
Seaney, of Boston, rented a blind horse
and buggy to Brant Tuesday afternoon
to drive to this city. Brant says that
he hitched the horse in Beallview and
that when he returned it was gone.
The police claim that they have no.
obtained any information from Bran.
or Johnson which would justify a
charge of horse stealing being placed
against either of them. However. the
police are far from satisfied with
Brant's explanation as to how the
horse happened to disappear.
