bridge across the river.
Mr.. GOWNS is native of Chicago,
Ills, and during his life has had a
somewhat varied experience. Getting
the gold fever when a young man he
went to Australia in 1853, where he
engaged in mining, and then in 1859
he sailed for California, where he
continued to follow mining. After
their marriage, Mr.. and Mrs. GOWNS
returned to the East, coming to Ore
gon in 1873 and living in the william
cite Valley until they came to Hepp-
ner.
Mr.. GOWNS followed the occupation
of drayman in Heppner for many
years and then embarked in the busi-
ness of making ice, putting up plant
on his property in East Heppner, and
running bottling and soda works in
connection. He has been one of the
most familiar figures in this COM
munity for many years and in his
business has prospered and enjoyed
a splendid trade.
Their family consists of one son
and two daughters, all married and
having families of their own. These
are Mrs. Sadie Garrigues, of Idaho,
and VIM GOWNS and Mrs. Frances
Cantwell of this place. Besides sew
eral grandchildren, they have two

Mr.. and Mrs. James w. GOWNS of
this city have been travelling lifes
journey together for the past fifty
years, and on tomorrow, May IA, they
will celebrate their Golden Wedding.
These good people have lived in
our midst for the past thirty-six years
and are pioneers of this town. They
came here in the year 1879 and have
made this place their home since that
time. We suspect that few, If any,
of their neighbors and friends had
suspicion that they were nearing
their golden wedding day for we give
little thought to these matters, and
orget that time goes steadily on max
ing the cycle of the years and bring
ing about these events unconsciously
to us. Then again, it is not very
common occurrence for a man and a
woman to live together as husband
and wife for period of fifty years;
it too often happens that one or the
other is called to go hence before the
golden wedding day arrives.
Mr.. and Mrs. GOWNS were married
at Marysville, California, May a.,
1865. She was Amanda Melvina
Keever, a native of Louisa county,
Iowa Her mother was widowed
when Mrs. GOWNS was very small
girl, and they were left in not too
good circumstances. In 1850, accom-
panied by her mother and two uncles,
Mrs. GOWNS crossed the plains to
California, this being at the time
when the rush to the gold fields was
on. They suffered many hardships
and privations on their journey; ran
out of food and were greatly annoyed
by the Indians. 1t seemed for a
time that they would not be able to
reach their destination. The uncles
went without food for days that the
women and children might have a
little to eat, and when they reached
Placerville one uncle who had become
almost starved, died from the effects
| of over eating.
Some time since it was mentioned
in the Oregonian that there had never
been woman hung in California.
Mrs. GOWNS says that this is mis-
take, for she witnessed the hanging
of woman at Downieville. She re-
members the circumstance quite we'll,
| tho she was but slip of a girl at the
time; she remembers that the woman
was dressed in white and wore pink
| lippers, and she was hanged from the

Little Doc has installed brand
new up-to-date soda fountain and it
is credit to any town to have as san
itary and up-to-the-minute machine
as he has. Little Doc certainly has
an eye for business, as we'll as for
the public.
Mr.. Wiles, who has been working
with Smoot and Shaver on the well
drill met with a bad accident last
Wednesday, losing three of his fin
gers. DR.. Chick attended to the in

John Wilt and family, Ed. Moore
and family, Willard Blake and family
and Bill Cronk and family jitneyed
over to the Davidson ranch on Rock
creek last Sunday and spent the day
fishing. They all report good catch
and good time. There were about
thirty-fve in the party.
Henry Slender and family took
their jitney to Arlington last week,
From there they took the boat to Big
Eddy where they all had a good time
celebrating with the thousands who
attended the great event. Mr.. Stem
der said that the boat was badly
crowded but they enjoyed the trip.
Sam Dennis is limping about these
days with a twisted ankle. We
heard that he fell over a straw and a
hen kicked him, but we found out
later that he and one of his mules
lad a pulling match and Sam lost out.
However, Sam is getting along fine
and dandy and we hope it will not
happen again.
Mrs. John Cochran and daughter
Opal, also Walt Smith and Ernest
Higgs autoed up to the Dorman
ranch last Sunday. Walt and Higgs
tried their hands at fishing. We did
not learn how many these young men
caught, but the big one, that Walt
caught had to be cut in two before
they could get it in the car.
The ball game between lone and
Fairview was dandy good game
while it lasted, neither side getting
man farther than second base. The
boys had played several innings and
were all getting down to business
when it rained so hard that it was
impossible to finish the game. They
will play again at lone next Sunday
The ladies of the Locust Chapter of
the Eastern Star Lodge OF lone gave

panied by Miss Swanson; Miss Edine
Moore, Earl Blake and Miss Mary
Bacon recited nice selection each

splitters of the evening. Members
of the local lodge and Masons of the
lone lodge with their families and
several visiting members of bctl
lodges were present. There were
eighty who helped devour the good
eats that had been prepared and the
prize for the biggest eaters was
awarded to the same old bunch. Nc
names will be mentioned as all who
are familiar with the lodges can east

Members of the adult department

hour during which a lunch of ice

James Davis, who was indicted on
the charge of obtaining liquor by
stating falsely his age, pleaded guilty
and he was given the minimum fine of
$25 by Judge Phelps. Young Davis
is only 10 years old, but the courts
leniency was due to the serious condi-
tion of Davis father, who is said to
be on his death bed. Davis was

of Brooks Davis, who was charged
with assault with a dangerous weap-

cy in his case.

nan, as their agent at lone. Mr.

the plaintiff corporation for several
months and during that time he had
received no compensation for his SER
vices, except such small sums as were
set forth in the defendants counter
claim. By the verdict of the jury,
Mr.. Cronan was allowed $1,000 as a
just compensation for his services,
which means that he must return to
the corporation, something like $500.
The Oregon-Dakota Land Co. officials
had testified on the witness slant that
they thought $40 per month ample
pay for the services rendered by Mr..
Cronan. The Oregon-Dakota Land
Co. were the purchasers of the Wool
cry estate lands near lone, for which
they paid something like $106,000.
