PIONEER OF SOS
CALLED BY DEATH
Donald Cresswell who was One
of Valleys First Settlers
Dies near Walla Walla

Donald C. Cresswell, aged sc, one
of the Vests earliest pioneers, one of
the first settlers of this section, and
father of Don F. and Fred Cresswell,
of this valley, died Monday at the
home of his daughter near Walla Wall
la. The funeral was held Wednesday
from the Cookery & Cantonwine cha
pei, interment being in the Masonic
plot of Mountainview cemetery, Walla
Walla.
Mr.. Cresswell was born in the state
of Illinois, January %, 1880 and there
received his education. At the age
of % years he started west and set
tied near Salem, Oregon, in 1852.
He lived there about three years when
he moved into this district where he
acquired extensive land holdings.
About Is years ago he went to Ballou
a suburb of Walla Walla, where he
made his home with his daughter, Mrs
S. Simard. ~
G.. H. Mottinger, who became &C
quainted with Mr.. Cresswell in the
early days, pays the following tribute
to the memory of the pioneer man:
"He was one of those hardy, rugged
ones who had the courage and tenacity
to help tame the wild west and make
it more fit and pleasant place to live
than it was so years ago. The hard
ships he endured would discourage
those. Of the present day. He had a
straightforward, candid, open hon.
esty that knew no veneer of conven-
tionality. First farmer and gard
ener, then stockman; he was profic-
lent in everything he undertook, and
while never wealthy, he always helped
those who were in need.
"It were better for us all if we would
return to some of the ways of our pi.

LAST NUMBER OF
COURSE TUESDAY
Old Home Singers Will Conclude
Lyceum Entertainments for
This Year

This years Lyceum course will be
concluded next Tuesday evening when
the Old Home Singers appear in the
High School gymnasium. Members
of the local committee are Of the opin-
ion that this will be one of, if not the
best, numbers on the course, and this
opinion seems to be justified by the
press notices which the company has
received.
AS artists and entertainers the Old
Home Singers are said to be in every
way the equal of the Cavaliers, who
opened the course. Their program,
however, is entirely different, in that
they specialize in the old familiar
songs which were the favorites Of our
grandfathers. The program and per-
sonnet follows: f3a-
"Miller's Wooing," quartet; "Tingle
ingle-High Jinks," quartet; Hawai-
ian Song, quartet; "Old Oaken Buck
et," quartet; "Juanita," quartet; ".Old
Folks at Home" quartet; "Ragtime
Lullaby" tenor. p!-
The above songs are sung in eve
ming dress and are used as illustra-
tions in the discussion of modern mu-
sic and the music of fifty years, ago,
This discussion eventually leads to the
idea of having an old fashioned party
and dressing in the costumes of our
prandfathers and grandmothers. II
! The songs used in the last part are
as follows: 1.-TWO Sailors" tenor and
bass: "Same Old Dress" quartet;
"Sweet Genevieve," contralto; "Grand;
mas Advice" contralto; "Comin
Thru the Rye" contralto; ".Sally ir
Our Alley" quartet; Loves Ole
