WAS EARLY PIONEER
OF MORROW COUNTY
Mrs. Judith Mitchell, Long Resident
of Heppner, Passes to Her
Reward.

AuOtHel VI tue very early pioneers
of this section was called hence on
Thanksgiving morning, November rs
at her home in Heppner. Mrs.
Judith Mitchell, who was among the
first settlers of Umatilla and Morrow
counties, passed quietly and peaceful
ly to her final rest at an early hour
on Thursday forenoon last, at the ad-
vanced age of 80 years. Death was
caused from the infrmities of old
age and coupled with ailments from
which she had suffered for a great
many years. On this particular
morning, however, she was feeling
unusually we'll and had been out
walking around in the yard and en-
joying the sunshine, and upon re-
turning to the house she sat down to
rest and without warning she peace
fully passed from this existence to
the better world as one going off to
sleep.
Funeral services were held on
Sunday morning last at IL at the
Christian church, Rev. ]. V. Craw-
ford officiating and being assisted by
the pastor, Rev. T. S. Handsaker. In
terment was made in the Masonic
cemetery, the funeral being largely
attended by the residents of Heppner,
many of whom have known Grandma
Mitchell all of their lives, and she
was held in high esteem by all.
Judith Younger was born in Clay
county, Missouri, September 25,
1884. She spent her youth and
young womanhood there and was
married to William Mitchell Novem-
Der 8, 1852.
The spring following, the then
young couple, longing to have home
where the best opportunities offered,
crossed the plains to what was then
the Territory of Oregon, taking six
months to complete the trip. They
suffered many hardships on this jour
ney, losing a number of cattle and
horses in which they had invested
their limited means. They lived in
Yamhill county two years, Lane
county one year, Linn county two
years, and in 1859 moved to Eastern
Oregon, settling on the Umatilla riv-
er. This was wild section then and
very sparsely settled, and at that
time all of Eastern Oregon was Was
co county and these early settlers
were subjected to extreme hardships
and deprivations. In the early eigth
les, Mr.. and Mrs Mitchell removed
to Heppner, and at the general cleo
tion in 1886 Mr.. Mitchell was made
county judge of Morrow county. He
was reelected in 1888 and 1890 and
died during his last term. He was
Mason in high standing at the time
of his death and an honored member
of Heppner Lodge N. So, and in
whose memory the Lodge was never
neglectful of the widow.
To Mr.. and Mrs. Mitchell were
born six children, two of whom died
in infancy and one, Mrs. Flora
Straight, passes away in 1885. Three
still remain, Mrs. N. S. MILESTONE,
of this city; Oscar, who lives at Grass
Range, Montana, and Charley of
Okanogan, Wash

Better Fire Protection.

At special meeting of the City
Council last Monday evening, FIVE
mill tax was voted for the year 1915,
as was suggested by the committee
submitting the budget. The coun-
Gil further decided to buy $50 feet of
new hose and also one new hose cart.
This will insure Heppner still better
fire protection.
The city will make street out of
the bluff at the west end of Balti-

engaged at the present time grading

passable for the winter traffic, but in

which will eventually make this
good street.

OREGON MAKES GAIN
IN POPULATION

Portland, Ore, Dec. 2, Especially
Certainly Oregon has no reason to
be dissatisfied with the progress be-
ing made in populating the state,
since the report recently issued by
the State Labor Commissioner at Sa-
lem indicates that there are now
122,S22 more residents in Oregon
than when the 1910 census was COM
piled. Four years ago there were
672,765 people in the state, as COM
pared with 795,5S7 at this time. The
report was compiled from the en-
rollment and attendance figures of
the school department in each coun-
ty.
The report indicates that the
growth in population is somewhat
"patchy' throughout the state, some
counties having made remarkable ad-
vances while others have been loss
Multnomah county shows the largest
gain, 50,922, while Hood River, Jose
phine, Morrow and Sherman counties
show a population slightly smaller
than four years ago.
At the recent Fruit Growers con-
ference in Spokane, a committee was
appointed for the purpose of working
out solution of the by-products
problem and, if possible, effect con-
solidation of the various selling
agencies. A meeing of this commit
tee will be held at North Yakima on
December 5. At that time it is ex-
pected that plan will be worked
out whereby an advisory board of
canning and evaporator experts, to-
gether with practical business men
can be created, the services of this
board to be available to all fruit dis
tricts calling for it. In this manner
it is expected to furnish to each dis
trict full and reliable information
and advice, thereby saving funds
which would otherwise be spent in
experimentation. Providing for uni
form inspection and a central selling
agency will be taken up later.
