OBITUARY.

Mrs. Asenath Springer, one OF our old
est residents, died Friday morning, at the
age OF eighty nine years and nine months.
Mrs. Springer was a daughter OF the late
Isaac Clark, and was born in the eastern
part OF the town. In early life she was mar
risd to Jacob Springer, and had since re-
sided here. She was a woman OF kindly
disposition, liked by all. Her uptiring en-
ergy and interest in her home and those
around her will long be remembered.
She retained her mental and physical
activities almost to the last. Even during
the last year she did great deal OF
fine sewing and crochet work, which has
been the admiration of her friends.
Although having no children OF her
own, she was q devoted mother to three
adopted ones-two sons, Henry and
Willard, and the daughter, Mrs. Charles
E. Smith, by whom she had been so faith
fully cared for. Mr.. Springer died eight
years ago. She is survived by three
brothers Samuel s., John T., and Willard
E. Clark, and two sisters-Mrs. Winifred
Hardison and Mrs. Julia E. Butler, all OF
this place. Funeral services were held at
the home Sunday afternoon, Rev. d. B.
Smith officiating.

eradication under this system was
$500 per acre. No crop was secured
from the land that season.
Complete eradication Of quack grass

MANY CATTLEMEN ARE
NOW RAISING SHEEP
Small Bands Prove Valuable for Nut
ton and for Cleaning up Weeds
and Adding to Income Of Ranch.

PORTLAND, Dec. 11.--District
Forester George H. Cecil, Portland,
Oregon, says that large number of
cattle permittees who are using the
National Forest ranges of Oregon and
Washington are now grazing ON their
ranches small bands OF from 20 to
500 or 400 sheep, which are consid-
ere dvaluable for furnishing mutton,
cleaning up weeds and adding to the
income Of the ranch,
This is quite concession for the
cattlemen to make, according to Mr..
Cecil, but it is interesting in that it
indicates the coming of a more diver
sified system of management on the
interior ranches. as well as being a
factor in keeping up the supply OF
sheep already considerably decreased
by the homesteading of much of the
public range.
