William Ehrck

William Ehrck was born il Hamburg,
Germany, Jan. /, 1845. He was mal =
ried to Caroline Wilkins 10 1871. He,
with his wife, came to America in 1872,
locating in Chicago, H., where they
remained two years, going then to
Clinton, la. Five years later they
came to Oregon, stopping for the first
year on the Chas. Ehrck place row
leased by J. II. Eggert In 1880 they
moved to their homestead, 40 acres of
which with orchard and good building,
remains in MIR. Ehrck's name at the
present time.
Beginning with July, 1907, Mr.. and
Mrs. Ehrck enjoyed well earned va
cation, spending several months visit
| ing relatives and friends in several
states in this country and in Germany.
They returned home in January and
remained for about two years, then
went to Portland where they resided a
few months. when they purchased
property in Hood River and made this
their home until Mrs. Ehrck's death in
April, 1912.
Since that time Mr.. Ehrck has
stopped with his children, sometimes in
Odell at other times in Portland. Sew
eral months ago he went to Portland
for visit with his daughters, but
failed in health and on Friday, March
28, at II 20 a. M, he passed away at
the home of his daughter, Emma.
Skilled physicians and loving hands
did all that could be done but disease
could not be stayed and his children
this relatives and friends grieve. Five
children, Mrs. J. H. Eggert, of Odeli,
Mrs. d. Henden and Mrs. james Nc
Farlane, of Portland, and 0. II. and
W. c. Ehrck, of Odlel, six grandchild-
rem, Elmer, Louis and Fred Eggert
and Thelma and Lloyd Ehrck, of Odell
and Floyd Mccoy. ofs Portland. and
other relatives survive him and to
these we extend sincere sympathy at
this time.
William Ehrck was one of the pio-
neers Of Hood River valley and he with
his family carved from the forest a
competence. In the earlier days years
he worked at bis trade as plasterer and
mason, as we'll as at clearing the land
from which he would later harvest
fruit and other products, and be shared
in the privations of the earlier settlers
in this valley that is now valley OF
beautiful homes. He was ever honest
and industrious and was respected by
those who knew him.
At the time of his death he was q
stockholder in the First National bank
Of Hood River and in the Home Ieie-
phone Co. He was interested IN the
National Apple Co. and in the Ginrai,
tar rock quarry. His funeral was neio
Sunday, March 80. from the Pine Grove
church, interment in Pine Grove ceme'
terry. -,
A peculiar coincidence was that both
Mr.. and Mrs. Ehrck's funerals were
held the Sunday following Easter mrs
Ehrck's in April last year, ana Mr.
Ehrck's in March of this year. q,
The Elks, of which order Mr.. EnrcE
was a member. attended the funeral II
a body and had part in the service
There were many old friends as "eil az
later ones who came, thus giving eVl
dence of their esteem. Rev. Troy Snel
ley and M. ID. Odell officiated and Mr.
and Mrs. Guy F. Smith sang tenderiI
and with feeling. There were many
beautiful floral pieces in white ant
colors, carrying with them messages O.
love from relatives, friends and brothel
Elks.

Suits Brought Against PIP. & L. Co.

Attorneys Stark and Hazlett have
Just filed two suits against the Pacific
Power & Light Company; one to re-
cover $lS and the other to recover
l.50 for labor performed by F. W.
Watson and l.. P. lrelan on the COM
pany's dam above the bridge. In each
case the company seeks to retain 81
per month for the hospital fees. The
attorneys contend that Mr.. Watson
only worked as hours and when he was
laid off and for the company to retain
81 from.his wages when he had worked
only such short time is unreasonable
and in the case of l.. p. lrelan. who
had only worked six hours, it is unreas.
enable to retain 81 from his wages anc
these suits have been brought to test
the matter.

POWERFUL CUDGEI
Appointment of Harris as Director of Census Is to Be Used

By JUDs0N c. wELLIvER.

Republicans in the Senate who wans

cism OF the appointment of a politician.

census.
1t looks as IL this particular appoint
ment might become the center of the
first real patronage fight. SATURDAY. the
Senate Committee on Census. to which
the Harris nomination has been re-

a comfortable quorum present. but the
committee didn't act. Instead Z talked
about the proprieties and the politics
and various other things. and then ad-
journed till Wednesday. when il will

The basis Of protest is. Of course.
that a man of special qualifications

l wonder where they are going to
chase the lost sisters of the under

They can't murder them. They

they chase them off the streets,
they'll chase them into houses. And
if they chase them out of houses,
they'll chase them into the street.
If they chase them out of town,
others will take their places. For all
this chasing doesn't have any effect
upon the cause.
Innocence in being driven into
one end of the underworld just as
fast as vice is carried out of the
other end in pauper collins.
And men are driving it in. And it
isn't the poor men who are doing the
driving. Only too often it is the sons
of the millionaire employers who pay
starvation wages. Often it is the
fathers themselves.
Even the jack-rollers, buns, hobos,

babes from becoming criminals. y
