of considerable property at Coke
vile, the management of which be-
came a great burden to her in her
declining years.
Sad and pathetic were the last
years of her life in comparison with
the times gone by. Picture this
little old "mother," bowed by the
weight of years, standing at the
window of the little Short Line
eating house vainly waiting for the
trains to come in, loaded as in days
gone by, wistfully and with dim
eyes Watching for the coming of
'her boys" as she always lovingly
termed the officials of the road,
some Of whom with swelling hearts,
will remember s'mother's" many
and kindly welcomings Mrs. Ryan
during her entire life, was devout
Catholic and death came shortly
after receiving the last sacred rites
of her church. Her last moments
of consciousness were made peace
full by the ministrations of the
Catholic ladies Of Cokeville.
She is survived by q brother,
James Dwyer of Salt Lake, and a
niece, Ada Dwyer, the well known
actress.
Her remains were shipped to
Omaha, where they weue laid to
rest beside those of her little daugh
ter, who died many years ago. God
sped the mother to her Just reward.

Big REDUCTION
IN WOOL RATES

Radical reductions In freight
rates on wool both in sacks and in
bales transported from western
points of origin to eastern destina-
tions have been prescribed by the
interstate commerce commission.
The opinion was handed down by
Chairman Prouty. 1t holds that
the present rate of $I.l5 hundred
pounds on wool in sacks from Colo
rado common points to ST. Louis
should not exceed 80 cents and that
from points west of Cheyenne,
Wyo., on the Union Pacific, and
Trinidad, Colo, on the Santa Fe,
rate to st. Louis might be two cents
higher for each additional $50
miles. On the Denver IL Rio
Grande rate of 30 cents is author-
lied from the first station west of
Pueblo, with similar 2 cent in
crease from points further west.
Concerning the rates to be APP
Piled on thru shipments from west
points to Boston and New York,
Chairman Prouty said they should
be constructed tby adding to the
rates prescribed to st. Louls, III case
of sacked wool SO cents to Boston
and 4s cents to New York; in case
of baled wool, AZ cents to Bos on
and 43 cents to New York"
In the Judgment of the commits
sion transit privileges should be
allowed at intermediate points on a
direct line by payment of % cents
hundred, on condition that the
shipments originated west of the
M mississippi.
In certain instances the commits
sion permits the carriers to exact a
higher rate for short than a long
haul.
The carriers are expected to con-
form to the commissions sugges-
tions by May 1. If by that date
they have not conformed a definite
oider will be issued

After long, busy and useful life,
she died as she had lived -honored,
trusted and loved. Her life was
completed, if work all done and well
done constitutes completion. Her
last words were expressive of peace
in God and a Willingness to depart
and be at rest with Him.
''They have passed-are passing
The remnants of the pioneers;
With the deep burrows on their brow,
Yet with cheeks unblanched by fears
While heads are bent and steps are

Their spirits are unconquered yet!
They go the way all heroes go

MOTHER" RYAN PASSES
TO THE GREAT BEYOND
Died at Her Home in Cokevi1le Last Friday at the
Advanced Age Of 80 Years--Was Known
from Omaha to Portland.

Cokeville, Wyo., April 24-Af.
ter brief illness, Mrs. Ryan of
this place, died at her home at 1890
o'clock last Friday morning. This
death removes from our midst one
of the old pioneers of Short Lime
days in Idaho and Wyoming.
No one was better known by the
Across-C Continent traveller and tour
ist than wac "Mother Ryan" Her
railroad eating houses, in the days
before the mercenary dining car
had made its appearance, were a
veritable mecca for the hungry, the
reputation of them extending from
coast to coast. Many stories of her
open-hearted, Irish hospitality could
be told, but suffice il to say that
this remarkable woman never al
lowed man, woman or child to leave
her house unfed and especially so
when not supplied with funds.
Hundreds of railroad men from all
parts of the country can attest as to
her hospitality, while the profess
sional hobo invariably left her board
with wants well supplied and with
the usual parting salutation, "God
bless you Mother Ryan, I'll call
again."
Mrs. Ryan, at the time of her
death, had reached the ripe old age
of sS years. Most of her life had
been spent along the U. P. and O.
S. L. lines. She became possessed

pletion of the Cello canal will not
mean more to any section of the
northwest than to the Twin Cities
of the Columbia, and nowhere could
a celebration of the event more ap-
propriately be held.
The completion of the canal will
be an event worthy of two celebra-
tions and the Pasco-Kennewick eel
ebration need not detract in the
least from the Lewiston event, but
by holding the celebrations on diff
ferent. dates both can be made sue

and that Benton and Franklin coun-
ties between them put up the other
half. A start toward the realiza-
ton of this project is the least that
Benton county can demand from
the next legislature and it behooves
every voter to cast bis ballot for the
strongest and best man to look after
their interests there.
Every man, woman, and child
should vote for Frank J. Allen for
the Senate. He showed his willing
ness to work when he assisted in de-
feating the attempt to take the State
Road down the Columbia from
Walla Walla to Portland and in
stead had it routed through the
Yakima Valley. Mr.. Allen would
be on the committee that makes UP
the necessary funds for the bridge
and road work and it would be sui
eide for this part of the county to
vote other than for him. Should a
new man be selected he will be on
the outside looking in, while Mr..
Allen would be able to be working
from the inside. A vote for Mr..
Allen is vote for Kennewick and
vote against him will greatly re-
tard the efforts for bridge and
make possible a longer delay to,
wards it's construction.

TWIN CITIES
TO CELEBRATE
Pasco and Kennewick Will Oh
serve Completion Of Cello Canal
With Joint Jubilation

More than year ago the old
Pasco commercial club, which some
months ago gave place to the Pasco
chamber of commerce, discussed the
feasibility and ACCESSIBILITY of asking
Kennewick to join with Pasco in a
joint celebration of the completion
of the Cello canal, says the Pasco
Progress. Although, owing to the
fact that at that time several years
interviewed before the probable COM
pletion of the canal, no definite
steps were then taken toward launch
ing the proposition, the idea was
never abandoned.
During the meeting of the Column
bia and Snake River Waterways AS
ISOLATION at Lewiston several weeks
ago an effort was made by the Lewis
ton people to have the association
indorse a request to the Oregon,
Washington and Idaho legislatures
to make appropriations for cele
bration which Lewiston is planning
to commemorate the same event.
The proposition was turned down
by the association and Pasco dele
gates explained to the Lewiston peo-
pie that this city had had a similar
celebration under consideration for
a long time. This explanation was
made in order that Pasco and Ken
newick might not be considered as
butting in on Lewiston. Prominent
business men of Kennewick have
expressed themselves as favoring
the idea of their city joining with
Pasco in such celebration.
The matter was discussed by the
trustees of the chamber of commerce
Monday evening and further action
in getting active preparations under
way will be taken at a general meet
ing of the chamber of commerce
at a later date.
