Funeral of Miss Ellis
Held Tuesday

DR.. 4. Benson conducted tn,
funeral services of Miss Georgis
Ellis from the family residenct
last Tuesday afternoon, reading
the Episcopal service. The fun
eral was largely attended by the
many friends of the family ant
many were the expressions oi
sympathy. for the bereavec
brother who had so recently los,
his mother. The family had just
made extensive improvements
upon the home and made Il one
of the most comfortable and at.
tractive in Burns when death
summoned the mother and in less
than a month the sister was call
ed. leaving Charles alone. II
was particularly sad and one that
brought sorrow not only for the
lonely brother but also to many
who had known both mother and
sister so intimately and had
learned to esteem them highly.
The following brief obituary
was read by DR.. Benson at the
service:
George +. Ellis was born Nov.
26. 1877. at Momence, Ill. She
graduated from the Kankakee
High School in 1896, afterwards
came west and graduated from
the Normal school at Bellingham
Wash. She was also a graduate
from the University of Michigan
in 1908.
Upon hes graduation she took
q position in the Harney County
High School where she taught
for a time and afterwards taught
for several years in the state of
Washington. ]
This year she was engaged in
the schools of Startup. Washing
ton, when she was taken i'll, and
was obliged to go to the hospital
where she was when she receiv-
ed the news Of her mothers
death. She returned. to the
home on that sad occasion, but
was not able to rally, and passed
away November z. 1914.
In early life she joined the
church in Kankakee. |
ILL.,. and was an earnest and de- |
vout Christian. She was inter-
ssted in every thing Of a musical
)r literary nature and responded
70 every call for public service. |
So it might be said Of her, as Of
,ne of old, she hath done what
The could.

A High Class Entertainment

One of the most pleasing musi-
cal entertainments ever given in
Burns was rendered at Tonawa-
ma on Thursday evening when
the Treble Clef Club present
ed Mrs. Lulu Dahl Miller of
Portland. From financial stand
point it was not profitable but
those who attended were most
responsive and demonstrated
their approval by generous ap-
plause. 1t was the event in the
musical line of the present fall
and the people of Burns. are not
going to have an opportunity of
hearing another in the very near
future that will equal it.
Mrs. Miller has a wonderful
contralto voice and her rendition
Of the several numbers was of
such a character that it brought
out universal praise. The lady
is of pleasing personality and her
singing simply captivated her
hearers. The writer can hardly
particularize on the numbers
rendered by Mrs. Miller as they
were all so well received that it
would be hard to state which
was most appreciated.
Mrs. Miller was assisted by
Mrs James Lester Gault, one of
the most talented sopranos of the
west and although she is home
folks" she has a warm spot in
the hearts of music lovers at
home as well as many admirers
in other cities of this section.
Mrs. Gault was at her best
Thursday night and made a de-
cided hit" in many of her num-
bers. The Treble Clef Club also
rendered two very pretty num-
bers which were appreciated,
responding to generous encores.
The program was not so long
as some former concerts and the
people did not seem to tire in the
least but responded very warmly
to each number. Those in charge
of the entertainment are certain
ly entitled to a great deal of
credit for bringing such talent TO
this city and no doubt there will
be other entertainments of a
similar nature in the future.

The Road Hog Got His.

A road hog living near Cravat,
south Of Centralia, got a lesson a
days ago that may do him some good,
says the Centralia Sentinel. A
number Of automobiles from Salem
had been to Mt. Vernon and were
coming back by way Of Centralia.
When near Cravat, they came up
behind buggy. The road was
narrow and the machines could not
get by unless the buggy gave a part
Of the road, which the driver refused
to do. When they came to a place
they could get by the man in the
buggy would run his horse to beat
them ia another place. He kept
this up for some time till a place
came where he could not head the
cars of. One ran by him and ther
the driver proceeded to block the
buggy, until snother car got along
side. A couple Of fellows hoppeC
out, caught the horse and made tn
fellow in the buggy get out aud &c
into the car. The horse was tied t
the fence and the driver of the buggl
brought along to within a mile G

told to hoof It back and the last see
Of him he was hoofing it lively an
saying things that would not loo

Farmers Take Initiative.

The farmers Of this county are

and fruits Of all kinds. The men at
the back Of the project have observ-
cd that wherever canning factories
have been located large home
