Death of Mrs. Evans.

A pail Of sadness has been thrown
over this community by the sudden
death Of Mrs. Ella Evans, wife of
Evan Evans, who passed away sud
denly at 1:30 Wednesday morning.
Mrs. Evans, who has been in poor
health most Of the summer, had been
confined to her bed since Sunday but
her condition was not looked upon as
being of serious nature. DR.. Rains,
the attending physician, called Tues
day evening and found his patient
some better. Shortly after midnight
the Doctor was again called, her con-
ditions alarming the family. Tenn
porary relief was administered and the
Doctor was leaving for his Office to
compound prescription, when her
condition became worse and the end
occurred suddenly. The immediate
cause Of her death was depression Of
the heart
The deceased, whose maiden name
was Ella Jones, is the daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Seth Jones, ST., one of
the leading pioneer families of Idaho.
She was born at the Dalles, Oregon,
May l, 1862 and came to Idaho coun-
ty at an early day with the family.
With the exception Of eleven years
when the Evans family resided in
Los Angeles, she has lived in Idaho
county ever since. She leaves to
mourn her death husband, two
daughters, father, five brothers,
three sisters, and numerous other
relatives and friends.
For Mrs. Evans no sacrifice was
too great, no toll too severe to make
lighter the burden among those
whom she lived. Mrs. Evans was an
example Of worthy women and when
she surrendered her spirit to the God
who gave it she left behind her the
sweet aroma of an exalted Christian
name. To the bereaved husband,
children and relatives the sincere
sympathy Of this community is ex-
tended in their bereavement.
The funeral will be held Sunday
at 2 p. NJ, providing the daughters
of the deceased arrive from California
as kilograms announce they will.

gan. Practically all the prominent
people of Folsom were present and
Mr.. Broussard's remarks were re-
ceived with enthusiasm. especially
when he defended his democracy and
compared it with that of Sanders.
Applause followed his reference to
the Inability of Sanders admins
administration to provide for the
Confederate veterans and the insane,
while money could be found for
boards and attorneyships and game
wardens; that $50 per month was
all that could be spared to care for
the insane patient and $3.50 for the
Confederate soldier, who had sacri-
feed his health and risked his life
in defense of the Confederaey, and
needed care and attention in his old
age. He criticised the action OF
Sanders in the Thornton senatorial
contest and his attitude on the in
come tax. Mr. Broussard shcwe3
that his own services in congress had
been to the best interest of the peo-
Die and that the records prove this.
At Vaudeville the speaking III the

Broussard being introduced by Mayor

IN COV|NGTON|
The Mackie Pine Products
Co. Now in Operation.
Making Turpentine and 9th
er Products of Wood.
A New Process, the Inven-
ton of H. A. Mackie.
Factory Will Probably Run
Day and Night Forces.

Tuesday there started in opera
ton new industry for Coyington,
that while it will not employ large
number Of men for direct operation
will incidentally give employment to
quite number; but aside from this,
1t turns into valuable products what
has hitherto been going to waste and
converts it into money that is
brought into the parish from abroad.
A feature of this industry that is
perhaps of more Importance than all
is the fact that it may ultimately be
| the means of clearing our immense
acreage of cutover lands, for the
stumps on these lands afford one of
the most productive materials for
the manufacture of the products that
| 1t is now turning out, and the future
development of the industry may
mean that the company will go over
these lands and pull the stumps at
profit to both the landowner and
the company, the work being made
perfectly feasible by the improved
machinery now in use.
The new company has been Or
ganized for the purpose OF manufac-
turing turpentine and by-products
from pine knots and other fat wood,
is chartered company with s50,000
capital and is known as the Mackie
Pine Products Co. A feature of the
new industry that carries with it,
considerable interest is the introduce
ton of machinery that is the inven-i
tion of Mr., III. A.. Mackie, member
Of the company and in charge OF the
work. The process is a great i'm
provement on old methods and turns
|out a high grade product that is
impossible by other processes and
hat eliminates waste, every product
Of the material used being useful
FOR some purpose.
Mr.. Mackie had intended putting
up plant in Mississippi, but was
persuaded by Mr.. E. j. Frederick
that the opportunities were as good
N Covington for the business as any
where else and the company was or
ganized here.
A representative of the Farmer
called at the new plant Tuesday and
found Mr.. Frederick and Mr.. Mackie
busy with their first days work of
the new machinery, amongst buzzing
wheels, swift moving belts and the
grinding moist &C the big "hog," that
eats up huge pine knots and cord

with the ease with which a rag-time
girl would chew gum.
The big "hog" that grinds the
wood and knots into small bits is
supplied with wood from the yard
by an endless carrier that runs on
drums, pretty much as the carrier
Of a cane mill. The wood passes
from this carrier into shredder,
from which it is conveyed to bins
at an elevation and passed through
steaming chambers, where the sep
aration Of oils and resinous matter
.akes place. The refuse is then
ready for further distillation for
heavier products and for fuel The
turpentine thus secured is 95 per
cent pure. 1t is pumped into storage
tanks and is afterwards refined.
The pumping machinery is run by
electricity.
