ANOTHER PIONEER CALLED
AFTER 40 YEARS IN STATE

The death of Mrs. Louise Flegel,
which occurred in Colville on Satur-
day morning at 1907 o'clock, after
an illness of peritontis, removes
from among the pioneers of Stevens
county lady who for 35 years lived
an active and useful life consecrated
to her home and friends who sympa-
thize with her family in their deep
and sorrowful affliction. In her
final suffering she appealed to the
members of her family present to fol-
low her into the unconquerable king
dom.
Mrs. Flegel was born in Washing
ton, Washington county, Penn, and
was the daughter of Frederick and
Katherine Naser of an old-time fam
lily of the Keystone state, June IL,
1855. She was there married to Carl
Flegel native of Berlin, Germany,
on Aug. "a, 1876. After the birth
of their two sons Charley and Will
liam, Mr.. and Mrs. Flegel moved to
Philadelphia where they engaged in
the tanning business for years.
Then for year they lived in Kan
sas City, Mo. Successfully they
lived in Las Vagas, New Mexico, and
in Tucson, Arizona, finally removing
to Los Angeles, California, where he
did an extensive busines in hides
and pelts, extending over the states
of California, Nevada and Arizona.
In the early '80s they removed to
The Dalles, Oregon, where they sue
cessfully carried on a trade in live
stock and the buying and shipping of
wool. After two years there they
went to Victoria, B. c., and carried
on a similar business. In 1885, with
their accumulated fortune they came
to Colville, riding overland on horse
back, being accompanied on the jour
ney by Amiel Clinton, who returned
to The Dalles and now resides there.
Since that time they have resided
here continuously, and by their united
enorts amassed a comfortable fortune
upon which they retired two years
ago.
Besides the members of her imme-
diate family Mrs. Flegel is survived
by four brothers, John, William, Ed
ward and Jacob Naser, and four mar
ried sisters, Rega, Kate, Lena and
Lottie, all now residents of Washing
ton, Pa
Mrs. Flegel was a Presbyterian
and was a splendid example of the
pioneer women who adorn, by per-
sistent adherence to the Christian
faith, the homes of the frontier un-
der the trying circumstances which
try brave souls in the swift and be-
setting struggle for the higher life.
Her fine nature was reflected in the
lives of her children in their love for
home, their pride of ancestry and
their obedience to her teachings.
The funeral was held on Monday
afternoon at the McCord undertaking
parlors, the services being conducted
by the Rev. Guy Denney, pastor Of
the Free Methodist church. Burial
was at the beautiful cemetery at
Highland. The high esteem in which
she was held by the many friends Of
the family were evidenced by the
numerous offerings of floral designs
both at the parlors and at the grave.

Census enumerators are now hav-
ing trouble securing compensation for
their services. They say that their
per diem pay came without hitch,
but the item of subsistence is the
sticker. After the work was all
over they-many of them-discovered
that they had not turned in the
schedule of the time employed away
from home, and the government, as
suming in the absence of such in
formation that they boarded at home
while taking the census, and Topped
off the item of subsistence which
makes a difference worth squabbling
over.

business Feature Service.)

The recent event OF most import
ancc to the farmer is the appointment
OF 10. r. Meredith, publisher of "Suc-
cessful Farming" at Des Moines to
succeed David h. Houston as secre-
tary of Agriculture. While the de.
partment has accomplished much in
the farmers behalf under Secretary
Houstons direction, his policies, and
administration have not escaped criti-
cism. The chief criticism has been
his absorption in the routine work of
the department. and his failure to
enunciate broad progressive policies
with sufficient emphasis and to cham
pion the farmers interests in their
conflict with the interests of other
occupational classes, particularly with
reference to the department of Jus
tees campaign upon high prices.
The new secretary is practical
farmer and a very successful farm
publisher. His long and direct con-
tact with the problems of agriculture
should give him sympathetic I'M
derstanding of the farmers needs,
while his experience as business
man should provide him with the ne
cessary executive ability to get things
done.
One very significant feature of the
National Wool Growers Association
convention at Salt Lake City was the
suggestion of central agencies to rep
resent the growers in direct dealings
with the manufactured as sugsti
tute for the present system of com

THE MARKET TREND

broke the rye market. Oats suffered
from absence of export demand.
STOCKS.
Money retains its dominance in the
stock market, although it Is felt that
call money has less real significance
than time money. The market has
been oversold and should respond to
sudden favorable developments in the
deliberations at Washington or else
where. Fresh breaks in foreign ex-
change have naturally exerted bear
ish pressure. and If general decline
in commodity prices begins, many
stocks will fall. Others are in po-
sitiOn to resist the decline. No sud-
den drop in commodity prices is eX-
pected, whatever the steps taken to
curb imitation. Prices hinge upon the
broad run of supply, and demand.
Probably the market suffers most
today from the uncertainty which
clouds the outlook at so many points.
With each decision, even if it be
somewhat unfavorable, the position
of the list will strengthen. Business
will know better what to prepare for.

campaign to eliminate the middle man
and connect producer and consumer
directly through the medium of CO.
operative enterprise. Farmers have
long been working ut the distribution
problem, and now operate II large
number and variety Of cooperative
associations, highly successful in the
main. The railroaders go one step
beyond the average farmers cooper
ative association and apply the CO.
operative principle to manufacture,
as well as distribution. If successful,
the effort may institute great
change in industry, and might easily
prove labor's greatest and most orig
inal contribution on the subject of
high prices and industrial relations
generally.
Farmers will follow carefully pro
ceedingS of the American Farmer-La-
Dor Cooperative commission, organ
iZed as a result of the Farmer Labor
Cooperative conference at Chicago
last November to coordinate and en-
courage cooperative effort between
and among organized producers and
consumers, and to unity action in
eliminating speculation and protiteer-
ing. While the commission is by no
means fully represented, it contem-
plates action significant to every far
mer.
Even the farmer is finding that it
pays to advertise. 1t pays the farmer
to advertise his apples, his short
horns, his seed corn, if they have par
ticular merit. Likewise it pays the
farmer to advertise his point view,
his problems, and his program. The
farmer has suffered in the past be-
cause the general public did not un-
derstand the conditions surrounding
his employment. No one but the
farmer will take the trouble or is
qualified to advertise the truth about
farming.

The surprising strength of the corn
