Mr.. Yates, the manager of the Per-

man who seems to have more re-
sources than anyone imagined when
he began developing the plant out on
Fourteenth street. Two two-story
buildings have been erected, with fine
offices in one of them, and sawmill
and warehouse have been built. An
other sawmill to cut hardwood timber
/ for the cabinets, and boiler house
have now been started, and the next
step will be a machine shop. The
building up of an industry like this
means a great deal to Salem and de-
serves the encouragement of local
capital-ahout the last thing it usual

which is a nice thing for any man to
do. Mr.. Smith had some children by
his first wife a son who made him
great deal of trouble, and daughter
in California, who is one Of the finest
women that ever trod shoe leather.
He came to Salem about eight years
ago with six little children whom he
put to school, and they have grown up
here and are beginning to earn wages,
several of them, and they are all good
children, and Smith has given them
advantages of good schooling. The

more offices and higher offices than
any one man in the state, and came
very near several times being elected
to the United States senate. He would
have been, renominated for governor
but for throwing open one of the in
stitutions to competitive bidding on
supplies that formerly went to one
wholesaler His funeral was very
simple and yet impressive. The eu-
logy pronounced by Wallace Mccain
mant showed that gentleman in the
highest light as an orator and what he
said was true and appropriate, woros
we'll chosen, like apples of gold in a
vessel of silver. Mr.. McCammant may
have his faults of political non-pro-
gressiveness, but for pure mental
ebility he has no equal in Oregon on
such an occasion. The funeral in the
midst of the afternoon on radiant
spring day, when the yet southerly
sun shed its mellow warmth through
the colored windows of the large
church-with the flag draped over the
pulpit-was very fitting time for
the last words to be said over the dis
tinguished dead. 1t is not given to

his Life. He came here from Esk-
ridge, Kansas, about a week ago,
and began working for Gene
Lewis up near Heller. He was
on his way to Heller with a
load of wheat. 1t is thought that
he was sitting on the front end
of the load, and in some manner
fell off, falling under the horses
feet, as his body indicates that
they trampled on him. He was
able to get up and continue on
to Heller. After dumping the
wheat he was taken back to the
Lewis place by others, seeming
to be, aside from a soreness all
right. No medical aid was sum-
moned, as it was not supposed
that he needed it,. until a few
minutes before nine in the even
ing, when he suddenly grew
worse and died.
Nothing is known concerning
him, except as above indicated
and the further fact that he had
