One of Soliciting Committee Declares
He is Discouraged and Dis
gusted.

"Discouraging! Disgusting. Some
of the business mon ought to be
ashamed" and similar remarks
were made by a member of one of
the soliciting committees that called
upon the merchants of Cairo yester-
dav to obtain stock subscriptions to
a ferry company. This committee
man was down in the mouth" He
said that the amount thus far sub
soribed amounted to less than SILL
eco ana he didn't see $4,000 more
In signt. He was soreiy aggrieved
and said he would have the list OF
subscribers to stock published in the
newspapers if he had to pay for it.
just to show up those who had
refused to take stock.
The statement made by 4
mcmber OF another committee was
quite the reverse He said his COM
mittea had great success and had
promises Of much more assistance
from concerns that would take the
mater up with their directors at
meetings to be held within the next
| few weeks.
Two COMMITTEES have been at work
on tho proposition OF obtaining
stock subscriptions 90 tho amount of
| 100000 to put the two ferryboats in

for the two forryboats and about

as bonus by the Cairo City Ferry

The committee that visited the
| iobhcrs was composed of George J.
Becker, John b. Greaney and James
H. Galligan The committee that Wis.
tied the retailers was Saml White.
| c. G. Terrell, John \. Miller and P.
7, Lanean.
The retail committee evidently
met many rcbuffs and were subjected
| to wha. they considered a great deal
of unnecessary questioning only to
be refused in many instances or told
to return at later date.
Cne prominent citizen asked to
see the list and after noting the
amounts subscribed told the COM
mittee that he would not give one
cent notwithstanding he had pre-
vicusly decided to give s200. He
gave as his reason for this attitude
that those who would profit most
from the ferries bringing people to
Cairo were not showing the proper
spirit, and the members of the re-
tail committee agreed with him.
Several $l,0o0 subscriptions have
been obtained including one each
from the New York Store Mercan-
tile Company, P. T. Langan, George
Parsons Woodward Hardware Com
pany ard Andrew Lohr Bottling Co.

Carroll county, Illinois, and lived there
until 1865, when he crossed the plains
with his parents driving an OK team

years later moving to Lebanon. In
1872 he married Mary Denny. Late in
1873 the family moved to Milton, in
eastern Oregon, and in 1874 located on
Patana prairie in Garfield county. Here,
with his wife, the hardships incident
to pioneer life were met and bravely
endured. Residing m Pataho prairie
for 10 years, he took an active part in
public affairs, and his hand was ever
open to assist those settling around
him. There were two children born to
them, Jennie, December 81, 1873, who
died in 1877, and Denny born Febru-
ary s, 1876, and who lost his life by
drowning while trying to save woman
from a like fate.
In 1884, with his wife and father,
he moved to Falling Springs, Garfield
county, Washington, purchasing tract
of land, which Mrs Asnby still owns.
in 1911 he had stroke of paralysis
from which he never fully recovered,

to improve his health For time this
seemed to have been accomplished, but
