In Memoriarn.

Millie Teresa Stewart was
born near Hillsboro, Washington
county, Oregon, April 1, 1861.
Her father, Thomas Stewart, was
a we'll known and prominent pio-

one Of family of six children,
three boys and three girls, all of

manhood at the old homestead.
At the age of eighteen Millie
Teresa became the wife of An
drew Rood, (Nov. 2, 1872 To
them were born five children,
four boys and one girl. One son,
the late Frank Rood, died seven
years ago. The Roods came to
this county thirty four years ago
and have resided here ever since.
Mrs. Rood was a woman of
earnest faith and life. In the
year 1895 she made public con-
fession of her faith in Christ and
was baptized by Rev. Geo. E.
Barnaby and became a member
of the local Christian church of
which she was a loyal and devoted
member, faithful unto death.
The funeral was held from the
Christian church on Decoration
day, the pastor, H. A. Van
Winkle, preaching the sermon.
The large concourse of people in
attendance attested the high
esteem in which the deceased
was held by friends and neigh
bors, while the beautiful, artistic
floral display spoke eloquently of
the love that never faileth. "
Besides her husband and four
children, she leaves three bro
theirs and two sisters to mourn
her loss. These were all present
at the funeral except one brother,
Wildey Stewart, of San Francis
co, California.
Those in attendance were: Mrs.
Louis Rood, a sister, of Hillsboro,
Mrs. w. A. Wise, sister, of Port
land, and two brothers, Edward
and Lucas Stewart, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Ed Rood, all of Portland.

and support in the work they are
trying to do; it being recognized
that they are making some very
good Improvements in the high
ways, and that their disposition
to do the best they can with the
means at hand is to be commend

road overseer, an expert in road
building, was discussed but no
definite recommendation made.
The purchase Of a rock crusher

for the building of permanent
roads in the county cannot be
done in the best manner without
such machinery. To be sure i'm

WOOL SELLS AT
FAIR PRICES ONLY
About 100000 Pounds Dis
posed of Tuesday-Price 3
Cents Under Last Year.

Quite a lively interest was
taken in the wool sales at Hepp-
ner on Tuesday and large numb
ers of the fockmasters who bring
their clips to this market were
present to see what they were
to realize as expense money out
of the seasons production. 1t
has been a little problematical as
to how prices would range, owing
to the new tariff, but results
show up really better than anti
cipated.
Over 100000 pounds passed
from the hands of the growers
to the buyers.
The best price obtained was
Is ga cents for a pool Of coarse
wool put up by D. 0. Justus, l..
v. Gentry, ]. M. Hayes and H.
Scherzinger. All the other clips
went at prices under Is cents,
and the general average price
ranged about three cents under
that received last year.
While sales at Heppner have
averaged pretty well as to prices
with those held at other points,
yet there is a we'll founded dis
abstraction expressed with prices
obtained, and a pretty general
kick is being registered against
the prevailing method of selling.
There is evidence abundant that
such a thing as real competition
between the buyers is only con-
spicuous by its absence. There
will doubtless be a strong effort
made to change this manner of
selling ere another season rolls
around.
The following is a list of the
