James McGregOr

James McGregor died on Sunday.
December "a, 1916, at the home Of his
daughter, Mrs. Daniel Grant, in Port
land, at the age of 81. For the past
two months his condition has been
critical, and for SO days preceding bis
death be had practically tasted, as it
was impossible for him to retain food
or drink. A year ago Mr.. McGregor
contracted the grippe from which he
never fully recovered. Doctors attend
ing, however, pronounced his physical
condition otherwise excellent. and
stated that every organ OF the body
was in perfect working order and that
his heart action was exceptionally
strong. The entire family were at his
bedside when he passed away.
Mr.. McGregor was born IN Edln-
burgh, Scotland. November g.. 1873.
In 1861 he became interested in the
coal industry of Cape Breton, Nova
Scotia. After a number of years he
went 10 British Columbia, and then to
California. He settled in Mosier ~
wears ago, pioneer homesteader. and
resided here and in Portland the re-
mainder Of his life. 1t was interesting
to hear him tell Of his varied expert
epces in the United States and Canada.
His intellect was exceptionally clear
and recollection distinctively vivid
to the last. His hearing. which had
never been impaired. was very acute
and at all times he took keen interest
in games of cards or checkers, playing
always a masterful game. A student
of social and economic questions, Mr..
McGregor enjoyed the daily papers and
even during the year often walked
many blocks in Portland to various
meetings. One Of his greatest attri.
butes was self.poise which he had
developed to remarkable degree.
Mr.. McGregor was greatly beloved and
respected by all who knew him. While
in Mosier last year he would often
walk to town and back to the home of
bis son, and enjoyed many hours work.
ing around the house and even spaded
the ground In the cherry orchard.
Always his thoughts were for his
brother man and the laboring clauses
we're his friends. A man Ut sterling
worth and character, his counsel and
kindly acts will long be remembered.
His remarkable tenacity in maintain
ing his long hold upon life may be
attributed to his indomitable will and
his clean and noble spirit of youth.
His wife, Mrs. Isabella McGregor,
died in 1899 in Mosier. Four of his
eight children survive. They are j. X.
McGregor, of Mosier: Mrs. Isabella
Waite, of Madras; Miriam Mcdonald
and Mrs. Daniel Grant. of Portland.
Funeral services were held Wednes.

taing parlors in Portland. The body
was accompanied to Mosier BY the
members Of the family that night.
Short commitment services were helt
at the cemetery, Rev. Leon L. Myers
officiating. The remains were viewet
by relatives and friends. and then lait
to rest by the side Of his wife in th'
family plot.

Jersey. 1t looks like rag to start
with and it always stays so" 1t can
not look quite as smart and crisp as
some fabrics, but it has nothing to
loose and therefore it will be in good
condition after a generous amount Of
wear and tear and it certainly takes\
pretty lines and folds. The peculiar
weave seems to give an especial beauty
and charm and softness to color for
the colors that are seen side by side
in other fabrics are never quite SO
attractive as they are in jersey.
In many instances the material is
made into ,oluminous capes that COM
plctely cover the costume and envelope
the figure, but there ale also various
costumes made of the jersey that take
variety of interesting forms. A
pretty one noted this week consists of a
chemise gown of a greyish green that
is stitched with white IL is made with
round neck and is held by a girdle
OF the material banded with white on
its ends. The wrap is long, full cape
of the same material unlined and with
second smaller shoulder cape of the
white jersey stitched with green. The
material lends itself to the capes and
the simple gowns with singular sue
cess and it is being very largely util
lied for their making One of the
newest uses to which the material is
put is for the making of sleeveless
slip-ons to be worn over sports skirts
Of handkerchief linen or organdie or
other white, material. II icy really
are very picturesque in color and they
add greatly to the toilet while they also
give that extra warmth which very
frequently is needed in the early morn
