Death Of James K. Goodwin.

Washington, ID. c., Sept. i0-Word
reached Washington relatives this even
ing OF the death Of James X. Goodwin, a
lifelong resident and n Of the best
known citizens in Tunbridge, at his
home in that town today. One Of the
sturdiest characters OF a family promi-
nent in that part Of Orange county for
several generations, Mr.. Goodwin bore a
lifelong reputation for unsuliied integrity
and markedly commanded the respect OF
bis town.
Mr.. Goodwin was eighty-nine years old
last June. He came Of hardy femily,
active when most people incline to take
life easily. For over three-seore years he
had lived at the old Goodwin homestead,
3 farm located on one Of the highest ele-
vations in the county, a picturesque place
close to the Bethel line. From the veran-
dan Of his home he often sat contempla-
lively smoking. watching the view that
stretched over hill and valley for miles
sway. Here he led q quiet, conservative
lie, responding always to ell necessary
civic duty but s~teadfastly eschewing
Office and preferring his mountain retreat
infinitely more.
His robust constitution enabled him TO
undergo physical strain that most Of his
acqusintances would hesitate 10 follow.
Once, before the days when the railroad
crept up the White River valley, back in
the ~forties. be concluded TO visit q sister
at Newport, n. H., nearly half a hundred
miles away, and scorning horse and car
rage walked the entire distance, and
after 9 brief visit walked back.

bridge, went into the army at the outbreak

BRING ON THE COMET.

This evening according TO the pre-
diction of astronomers the earth will
pass through the tail of Halley's
comet So there are timid souls that
fear we may suffer by the experience
Yet old Mother Earth has met with
Halley's comet many times before and
has escaped without harm. In the
olden times. if all reports are true,
the comet was much greater than at
present. 1t was a fiery dragon of the
sky and when it drew near the earth
it made sinners think of their mis-
deeds. But the passing centuries
have dimmed the splendor of the
aerial wanderer and so people who
have been getting up early to see it
have been disappointed at the spec
tacle. Under the circumstances it is
safe to predict that no i'll effects will
follow this visit of the comet but that
the earth will be permitted to bowl
along as usual

THE GHOSTLY WATERMELON.

Things happen curious in this old
world" said the Billville story teller
''and no mistake about it. l once
knew a man who cut a tree down to
get a possum that wouldn't leave his
warm berth in the topmost branches
for all his coaXing; and the tree fell
on the man. and the 'possum got
away-just loped off laughin' at him!
and 1 knew man who prayed for
rain, and brought down so much of it
that the people made him swim out
of the settlement
But that's another story. The
most curious thing that ever came to
my knowledge had its scenery in old
man Jinkins' watermelon patch He'd
been missin melons right along for
weeks and weeks, and try how he
would he couldn't catch the fellers
that had been spiritin 'em away. So,
though he was a mighty economizn'
old sinner, maxim dollar go so far
that the eagle on it was ashamed to
fly back again. he hired a man to
watch that watermelon patch, givin'
him shotgun and full instructions
ioW anu Wiltll 10 use II.
"Now, this man lived in a cabin
bout half mile away, with friend
of his who was blind man; and when
he told his friend bout takin' the
job to watch the watermelon patch
o. nights the blind man says, says he:
For the Lords sake. you don't mean
to leave me here all alone, do you?
Even when we're both here I hear
all sorts of noises in the night; the
ha'nts shake the shutter and walk
moanin' round the house and keep
me from my nat'ral intended rest
and I'll be burned if I'm going to
stay here alone by my self, half a
mile from nowhars!'
"'Why, says the newly appointed
watchman, I didn't mean to leave
you here. I'm going to take you with
me, for comp'ny's sake, I am; so get
ready and come on!
"They went out together to the big
white road, and it wasn't long till
the watchman reported for duty, and
with his blind side-partner took his
place in the melon patch. There
wasn't any moon that night, and the
wind rumbled in the trees hard by,
like 1t had grudge against somebody
and the gray owls asked mighty
skeery questions from the white dead
pines
Late in the night the blind man
says: 'T've got a creepy feelin'-
such as I have in the cabin o'nights
when the ha'nts are walkin' round it..
You don't see anythin', do your
No says the watchman; but
don't feel as comfortable as I'd like,
with that wind moanin' so an the
owls keepin up the racket. This
amt no job for a white man, nohow.
Lord, Lord Yonder comes three
something's all in white, with eyes like
fire! I'm going to get out o. here"
Don't leave me- says the blind
man. Lead me to the big road
"He grabbed the blind mans hand
and away they went, stumblin' over
the melons in the dark, till they hop
ped the six-rail fence and got into
the big road. Then he let go of the
blind mans hand and away they went
like the wind! 1t was full halfmile
to the cabin, as I said before, and

manifestly belongs in this county and
wants to remain in this county. 1t
is measure that calls for county di-
vision on equitable lines and in ac-
cordance with geographical con-
ditions. The Orchard" county
scheme was hatched to promote the
selfish interests of Milton at the ex>
pense of the rest of the territory af-
fected. The bill pays no attention to
natural geographical divisions and is
a piratical measure in that it would
include the Athena-Westo country
against the wishes of the people of
that great section.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-05-18
HUDSON COUNTY.

If the county divisionists insist on
filing their petition for the creation of
Orchard" county that measure will
not be allowed to go alone upon the
ballot next fall. 1t will be accom-
panied by bill for the creation of
Hudson county and the people of
the state will be asked to take their
choice between the two measures. If
they investigate the subject and decide
the issue upon its merits they will
vote for Hudson county in prefer
ence TO Orchard" county.
In every way is the Hudson"
county measure better than the "Or-
chard" county bill. The Hudson"
county bill provides for the creation
OF county out of the east end pro-
per. In other words the Milton
Freewater country, which apparently
wishes to secede from Umatilla
county, will be allowed to go. But
Athena and Weston and the country
adjacent to those towns will be left
In Umatilla county. Those towns
want to remain in Umatilla county
and they are hotly opposed to be-
ing included in Orchard county.
They know that if they are placed in
orchard" county they will be sub
jected to increased taxation to incon-
venience and to a loss of business.
Certainly Weston and Athena should
b. allowed to remain in Umatilla
county since they desire to stay. 1t
would be unjust and highhanded to
force them into Orchard county
against their will.
OF course there is no occasion for
the division of this county at all.
Umatilla county is splendid county
just as it is. 1t is the second richest
county in the state and therefore is
able to maintain government and
do improvement work without inflict-
ing high taxes upon its inhabitants.
AT the same time Pendleton, the
county seat is so centrally located
and is so accessible from all sections
of the county that the present ar
rangement is convenient for everyone.
Then it is improper to attempt the
division OF counties at this time. In
reality all county division schemes
should be withheld until a law has
been passed providing for the set
tlement of division questions by the
people directly interested. II the peo-
pie of Oregon do right this fall they
will resent being called upon to pass
on so many division bills and they
will vote all Of them down.
But since the people may not do
this but may attempt to decide the
various propositions upon their mer-
its it is the logical thing to allow
them to take their choice between
Hudson county and "Orchard"
county The difference between the
two measures is clearly defined. The
Hudson" county measure leaves in
Umatilla, county the territory that

Umatilla county should

Umatilla county should remain
just as it is, the imperial county
of eastern Oregon. But if new coun-
tr is to be created for the benefit Of
Milton then that county should only
include the Milton-Freewater coun-
try. The Miltonites have no right to
kidnap Weston and Athena and bring
their southern boundary down to the
very front door of Pendleton.

Now wouldn't it be a great joke if
the earth should pass. through the
tail of the comet and we would not
know it. After the manner in which
Halley's comet has been exploited
some sort of stunt is to be expect
ed from the wanderer.
