ARTHUR HORTON DIES SUDDENLY

Arthur Horton died at his home
in this city early Monday morn
ing from the effects of quinsy,
an abscess having formed and
choked him before aid could
reach him.
He was out on Friday and
helped to shovel snow off the
Odd Fellow building roof. That
evening his throat became sore,
but he did not remain at home,
going to a meeting of citizens at
the court house to discuss water
works and sewer systems. On
Saturday evening he told his
brother H. M. Horton he felt too
bad to go l. o. o. F. lodge. but
then he did not consider his all
ment serious.
He had gotten up Monday
morning, started a fire and was
preparing to heat some water to
bathe his swollen throat when he
sat down in chair and expired.
Mr.. Horton was a very quiet,
unassuming man who had work
ed hard since coming here. He
was an energetic man who at
tended strictly to his own affairs
and a man who could be depend
ed upon in whatever he under
took. 1t was a great shock to
his family and friends that his
life was cut short so suddenly
while in his prime.
Arthur Horton was born Aug.
A, 1875 in Nevada county, Cali
fornia, coming here several years
ago and associating with his
brother, H. M. Horton, in the
electric light plant and other en-
terprises. He leaves a wife and
two sons four brothers, DR.. H.
M, Dean and Marion Horton of
this county; Harry Horton, an
other brother in Mexico, a sister
in Seattle and his mother in
California.
Funeral services were conduct
ed at the family home Tuesday
afternoon by Rev. c. w. Hollo-
man after which Harvey Lodge, |
No. n, |. o. O. F. of which de-
ceased had just been installed
Noble Grand, took charge of the
and that impressive cere-
mony was held at the cemetery
attended by one Of the largest |
gatherings of the members of
that order ever attended in this |
city.

SUNSET NOTES

The Sunset people are showing
the same enthusiasm in the
Grange organization that they
showed a few years ago in get
ting a school started and in build
ing the best rural school house in
Harvey County. The Grange
was organized a few weeks ago
with sixteen charter members;
already they have received
enough applications to double
their number. We predict that
Sunset will have the largest
Grange in the county within a
year.
Sunset people are praising the
actions of the progressive board
of county commissioners in levy
ing a tax for building a new
court house. When it comes to
public improvements Sunset is
there with both feet.
1t is announced in Sunset that
Sidney Comegys is coming out
for sheriff. Sid will find a good
many loyal democrats in Sunset.
The continued roar we have
heard in the East the last few
days is not the Hartman and
Waverly people shooting rabbits,
as we had supposed. it is the Har-
riman railroad people construct
ing that tunnel in Malheur can
yon.
The Sunset ladies, who thought
Dog mountain was such an un-
desirable name for such a beauti-
full country, and changed to Sun
set Valley, now seem to think
Dog mountain is about the right
name since the Hartman people
refer to it as an objective rail-
road point.

BURNS GETS BUSY

The recent action of the pro-
gressive business men of this
city in getting data before the
railroads and offering induce
ments to have a line extended to
Burns was timely and will surely
produce results. Representative
men have been sent to both Salt
Lake City and Portland with de-
finite information and concessions
that will appeal TO railroad Of
ficials.
Burns is ready to do her part
toward bringing a road direct to
this city and there is every rea-
son to believe the railroad people
will take favorable action. Right
of way can be furnished and a
pioneer citizen has agreed to
deed the road forty acres of land
for terminals free of cost.
