Geo. III. Williams Dead.

Portland. Ore, April 4. George
H. Williams. the grand old Man
of oregon. the most prominent figure
in the political history of this state
and once a member Of President
Grants cabinet, died suddenly at his
home here today, aged 81.
Death came peacefully during his
sleep early this morning. He had
only few days ago celebrated his
S7th birthday by giving banquet to
his friends. Judge Williams retired
to private life two years ago. He
was one of the founders of the union
party and canvassed the country for
Lincoln when the latter was first a
candidate for president. Later he
served as United States senator from
Oregon and became attorney general
in Grants cabinet in 1879.
Salem. Or. April 4. Speaking Of
the death of Judge Williams, Chief
Justice Moore of the Oregon supreme
bench said:
"For 81 years George H. Williams
has enjoyed an enviable distinction
in this state. He came here in 1853
as chief justice of the territory, and
occupied that position until the
admission of the state in 1859. In 1864
he was elected to the United States
senate. and for six years he was one
of the foremost men in that great
body. He took first rank among the
great statesmen who leGislated for
union in the troublous times which
grew out of the Civil war. He was
recognized then as one of the ablest
men of the nation.
"He occupied seat in the cabinet
Of President Grant as attorney general
and houored that position by his
ability and learning He sat as
member of the Alabama claims COM
mission, and in that great hody was
distinguished as among the ablest
men of the two great AnGlo-Saxon
nations, and was recognized as a
leader.
"For the last 35 years his home has
been in the city of Portland. where
he has pursued an honorable career as
the Nestor of the Oregon bar. The
political rancor which at onestime was
hurling at him all its venom has
long since passed away, and he has
occupied a position in our state not
approached by any other man. He
has been the connecting LINK between
the past and the present. All his old
associates have long since passed
away.

general it will be impossible to state
what the regular market for wool
will start at.
Practically all the wool shorn to
date has been from mntton and some
registered stock.
A small amount of shearing is
reported IN eastern Oregon and sales
have been made at prices that range
from l6 to 22c pound. The latter
is for exceptional quality and was
obtained thus far in only one instance
the sale of the Smith lot to the
Pendle' on Woolen mills.
Market for mohair is auiet with
values ruling between 25 and 26c a
pound. The extreme value is being
paid by country dealers who generally
begin to speculate about this time.
The trade in general is not inclined
to nay above 25c a round
So great was the damage done the
wool clip last year by the use of slsal
twins in tying by some woolmen
that manv of the larger dealers are
again sending out warnings against
the use of that article.
If woolmen realized what damage
th'v were doing their product as we'll
as manufacturers" says one interest

BRIGHT OUTLOOK
FOR WOOL PRICES
Shearing Now Under Way
Shows a Good Quality
of Wool.

The sheep shearing season il
now here, Jake Wattenbergel
started up his big machine plant
at Echo yesterday, A hand crew
is also working on Butter creek.
The feeces taken off shows the
wool to be Of good quality this
season. Notwithstanding the fact
Of the hard winter, Morrow county
sheep generally came through the
winter in good condition.
Owing to the unusual amount
of moisture the wool Is free from
dirt.
The wool market opened in
Umatilla county this week. ] E
Smith & Co. sold to the Pendleton
woolen mills clip of wool for 20
cents per pound.

they would discontinue at once
the use Of sisal twine in tying uR
bundles Of wool. Even after the many
warnings sent out in previous years.
manufacturers report considerable
damage last season.
''The use of sisal twine cannot be
fully discovered until after the wool
is made into cloth. The manufactur-
ers find it because the product will
not take the dyes that wool does.
Spotty cloth is the result.
"The practice has cost manufactur-
ers so much money and have coma
back to the wool dealers for damages
so often that the latter have about
decided to use extreme measures
against the continued use of siTal for
this purpose If no other way is
found the price allowed growers who
use sisal will be cut very heavily
Even at this time we will not pay
within Sc pound for wool tied with
sisal as we would for that banded
with other twine.

Hookworm Appears.

Walla Wala, Wash.,. April a.
Probably never before has a case Of
hook worm been discovered this far
north, but there is a family Of six
living near Freewater on the inter-
urban line which is now suffering
with this dreaded disease. Owing to
the sandy condition Of the soil in and
around Milton and Freewater it is
possible that the neighboring inhabi-
tants will fall a victim to the ravaRes
of the disease which John D. Rookie
feller has donated one million dollars
to stamp out of the south.
DR.. Edward Montgomery of this
CITY. has the cases we'll in hand though
he realizes that great precaution will
have to be taken to prevent the spread
of the disease If the contagion once
gets into the soil it would be almost
impossible to prevent it spreading to
other persons until next winter when
the severe cold would in all proba-
bility kill the dreaded plague.
DR.. Montgomery refuses to make
known the name of the family suff r
ing with the disease but after careful
consideration has arrived at the con-
clusion that there is no mistake and
that the hook worm has invaded the
Walla Walla valley.
The family originally came from
Smith county, Tennessee. near Nash
vile. About two years ago they
moved to Oklahoma and last fall
moved to Weston, Ore. coming to the
ranch on which they now live about
six weeks ago. DR.. Montgomerv.is
inclined to believe that they contracted
the disease while living in the south
and have brought it north with them.
This belief was also strengthened
when the father Of the
family admitted to the physician that
the entire family had. while living
in the south what is commonly known
IS ground itch. 1t is believed by
many who have studied the disease
That the germ enters through the
Dours Of the feet first.

there are comparatively empty at this
season of the year, and the comrades,
if they go via the Capital, will be well

There will come up in the Encamp-
ment important amendments offered to
the rules and regulations, one which
we can all favor, yet will to great

the Sons of Veterans he admitted to
our Post rooms, excepting the muster
ing service" This legislation will have
its urgent advocates in favor, yet many
of the Delegates will question the bene-
| fit of its adoption. Those of Us who
| attend our regular Post meetings
should consider whether, if such a
measure is adopted. it will be benefi-
cial to the Sons of Veterans and our
Order. rather think that it will not,
as a whole, be agreeable to either Or
ganiZation.
The comrades who have been sea-
soned by the wars hardships so as to
become thoro soldiers and lost affilia-
ton as civilians. feel more agreeable,
more contented, more at ease, when
they meet only with veterans who went
thru the strenuous days from '61 to '65.
One can single out these with fine per-
ceptivc observation from the ones who
were soldiers only on the surface, whose
services were not in the front, who
marched, perspired, swore, criticized
not only his companions regimental
and general officers, not even to men
ton the ratiOns or the cooks.
The companion. a real, not a surface
veteran. appreciates and admires the
boys who had manly character, who
performed their duty at all times,
whether in camp, on the march, skir-
mish line or battle. / question whether
our boys should not be out of place. in
tellectually, had they to measure up TO
the brainy leaders of the G. A. r. In
hundreds of years to come there never
will be in any Nation the equal to the
Union volunteer soldiers. We should
extend the Sons of Veterans every as
sistance to solidify, strengthen and en-
courage them. We should invite them
often to meet with us, participate in
our public exercises, to take part in our
social gatherings on all occasions. They,
l take 1t, should adopt the names of
the Posts in place of naming their
Camps after living comrades. Such a
change would bring them in closer
touch with us. They could also make
quarterly reports to the Post whose
name they bear.-Henry Fairback, Past

NEW ORLEANS IN 1915.
A Ringing Circular From the Com
mander Of the Department of Louis
lana and Mississippi, G. A. Il.

Headquarters Department of Louisiana
| and Mississippi. G. A. r., New Or
| leans, La, Aug. 10, 1910.
To My Comrades of the G. A. r.:
The year 1915 marks the half CEN
tury since the close of the greatest Of
civil wars. 1t also marks the century
that has elapsed since Jackson and his
American riflemen defeated Yelling
tons veterans on the field of Chalmette.
1t is also the year that witnesses the
marriage of the two great oceans that
bathe our shores both East and West.
This last event will be fittingly cele-
brated at New Orleans. La. in 1915, by
a Worlds Fair and Exposition.
| i believe that the G. A. r. should at
that time and at that place celebrate
the Tooth anniversary of the great bat
i tie that closed the War of 1912, the jubi-
lee year of peace between the States.
and the 49th anniversary of its exist
enCe.
The fullness of time has healed the
wounds of the struggle to preserve the
Union. and the sections of our country
arrayed against each other in that
mighty conflict are now more closely
united than ever before. The Yawning
gulf which separated our people. only
bridged by the surrender at Appomat-
toN-that gulf so deeply filled by the
best blood of both sections as to have
|
now by the mellowing effect of passing
Years been so solidly filled that we no
longer need a bridge, but can meet and
mingle on the plain thus formed, until
all sectionalism is lost in love of coun-
try.
The 49th Annual Encampment could
find no place in this broad land where
it could more fittingly celebrate these
great events. The survivors of the men
whose bravery and devotion to their
cause we tested on many hard-fought
field their children and their grand
children, their neighbors and their
friends, will unite in giving us well
come that we will never be able to for
get. Our meeting with them to plant
flowers of peace on the grave of sec
tional animoSity will be an event
worthy of those other events by which
our country was defended and solidi-
fed.
Many, great many, of our comrades
to whom these thoughts are addressed
will ere that year arrives have an
swered their last roll call on earth. yet
to those that remain meeting of the
remnants of those mighty hosts will
afford an opportunity of making foes
of the past friends for all coming years
and leave to our pOsterity an example
of noble generosity unequaled in the
annals of time.
/ ask you, my comrades, to think
this matter over, and if you can con-
scientiously approve the idea, use your
efforts to advance ii among the COM
rades you may meet. Fraternally in
F., c. and LIE. K. Russ, Department

BY SENORA SARA.

A fortune awaits anybody who invent.
q method of perfuming gloves so thai
the perfume will be lasting. Strange
as it may seem, no lasting perfume has
been found. A woman who knows al
the ins and outs of the well-dressed
world tells how to scent gloves. Pour
perfumery in the palms of the hand o1
rub oil of flowers on the palms and
place the gloves on the hand for several
minutes until the odor penetrates them
The warmth of the hand drives the oils
into the glove, and good perfume will
remain for many months.
Pumice soap and ammonia will cure
the worst cases of tarnished brass. Just
moisten a cloth with ammonia and rub
II briskly over the pumice soap, and
then apply to the article to be cleaned
The operation is simple and easy one,
and the results are immediate and most
satisfactory.
Thin brown bread and butter sand
wiches are the most appetiZing accom-
paniment for fish salad of any sort.
After exposure to the sun do not
bathe the face at once. Rub in sooth-
ing cold cream, letting ii remain at least
half an hour. Wash off with water as
hot as can be endured. Before going TO
bed that night rub in more cold cream,
letting it stay in until morning, when it
may be washed off with soap suds and
dashed with cold water or Jumps Of ice
to close the pores.
Where sunburn has a poisonous ef-
feet, producing blisters or ugly sores,
extra care must be taken for protec-
tion. Before going on any long expedi-
tion on land or water rub glycerine and
rosewater into the face, then powder
thickly with magnesia or use skin
food and talcum powder.
The effect may be ghastly, but will
not be so bad as a poisoned skin or
scralet countenance, peeling like an
onion.

| The maid brings in the breast Of a

are butter paprica and a little orion

Ithickening with parsley and yolk of
eggs.
The mushrooms may be Drowned in

which, at the last, is stirred the yolks

seasoned. Just before it is cooked the
breasts of chicken are stirred into it to

the chicken in its sauce, with a border
of mushrooms around each breast.

When pressing seams the amateur
will have better success with the aver
age goods if she just lays the iron on
the seam and presses hard, then lifts it
and passes on until the entire seam ls
pressed. The iron should not be passed
along the seam, because 1t is apt to
stretch the seam and make it insight
w. and sometimes the seams are on
the wrong side of the thread, and then
the pressing is sure to be failure. In
pressing seams in heavy cloths a rag
should be wrung out of hot water and
laid on the seam. The iron is passed
over this, then the rag is removed and
the pressing is completed.
