Bright Financial Outlook.

Harry Mcbride is inclined to believe
that his days of hard work on his little
farm are drawing to a close and that
q brighter and easier channel for ac-
cumulatng wealth has opened before
him. All that old "Peck" has to do is
to send couple of hundred bucks to
a fellow doing the goose-step in a
Madrid, Spain. prison. Then, when
said fellow gets possession Of GER
tain portmanteau containing a check
for $36. 900. he'll at once remit $i2.-
900 of it back to Mcbride in generous
gratitude for the favor. Harry was
in town Monday. and a friend tipped
US off that he was trying to borrow
the two hundred SO that he could cinch
the twelve thousand.

ena cemetery Monday afternoon. Fun
!, eral services were held at the Chris
tian church. which was taxed to its
capacity to seat the genuinely sorrow
ing and sympathizing friends who as
sembled to pay their last respects.
The floral offerings were profuse and
spoke eloquently of the esteem in
which he was held. Pastor B. B. Bur-
ton preached the funeral sermon and
paid a, touching and memorable tiibute
to the young man. The pallbearers
were chosen from among his intimate
friends and included: Lawrence Tharp
and Harold Mcintyre. Athsna; Elmer
Tucker. Weston; Paul Lieuallen. Ad-
ans; Emery Worthington, Fendleton
and Don Wilks. Helix.
The cause of death was sarcoma, an

He took up his school work and re-
sumed his position in B, B. Richards

, symptoms of the return of the disease

and one sister. Marjorie Jean.
His was lovable disposition and his
worth was recognized and esteemed by
all who knew him. HIS illness pre-
vented him from graduating this year

school career. he was a recognized
leader in athletics. in which he took
much interest and devoted considerable
pains to excel. In this connection he
was we'll known to educational institu-

make the boys declining days as
peaceful and restful as possible. no
one contributed more to that end than
did B. B. Richards. who had from the
frat inception of illness. taken a per.
sonaI interest in the lads welfare.
Mr.. Ris.ards took him to Portland for
the operation, and since has stinted nc
