PIONEER PREACHER
PASSED AWAY TUESDAY
Rev. II. o. Kerns Died at Albion at
Age of 81 YearS-ChurCh Organ
izer in Eastern Washington
Since 1882

The Rev. Henry O. Kerns, pioneer
preacher and church organizer in
Eastern Washington since 1882, died
Tuesday at his home at Albion at
the age of 81 years. He took up
the ministry in the United Brethren
church while in Nebraska As years
ago. A few years later he came to
Washington, locating near Steptoe
In 1884 he and his wife moved to
Elberton, where they lived for many
years, going from there to Albion
about 10 years ago.
OF the rugged type of missionaries
who pioneered church work in the
Northwest, Mr.. Kerns drove with
horse and buggy all over Eastern
Washington and with the assistance
of his wife organized many Sunday
schools and churches. His work was
largely done at school houses and in
small towns. Frequently he would
drive 40 miles to hold services in
some school house and then would
drive 90 miles more for an evening
service in some other community.
Many pioneers attribute their
Christian tendencies to the preaching
of Uncle Henry Kerns. He acted
as presiding elder for many years,
and for a short period of years was in
charge of the Washington seminary
at Huntsville. He was chairman of
the board which built the United
Brethren college at Albion, which
was later taken over as a public
school. Mrs. Kerns, who shared the
hardships and joys of the pioneer
missionary, died II years ago, and
is buried at Garfield.
About 10 years ago Rev. Kerns
married again and his widow, Mrs
Anna Kerns, survives. There are
five children: L. C. Kerns of Tekoa,
A. NJ. Kerns, Thornton; Mrs. H. W.
Gurnsey, Power, Mont; G. r. Kerns,
Tekoa, and w. w. Kerns, Kinsella,
Alberta.
Mr.. Kerns was i'll for two weeks
with appendicitis, the doctors hest
tating to operate on account Of his
advanced age. Funeral services
were held at II a. m. Wednesday
from the United Brethren church at
Albion, the Rev. Mr. Dickinson and
l. R. Hughey assisting in the service

"ROSEDALE SAM" A
REAL CHAMPION STEER
Aberdeen Angus Steer Calf Donated
to College by ), II. Breeze Had
Remarkable Record

'Rosedale Sam, the yearling
Aberdeen Angus steer from the State
College herd which won highest hon
ors at the Western Royal and Pacific
International live stock shows, was
a real champion with a record that
is likely to prove a hard one to beat.
The steer won the championship in
the grade class as well as reserve
grand champion at the Western
Royal show in competition with 40
other steers, but was the only entry
of the Aberdeen Angus breed At
the Portland show the animal was
first in its class and champion grade
steer.
"Rosedale Sam" was sired by Abel
E., a registered Aberdeen Angus bull
owned by S. H. Breeze, a farmer re-
siding near Pullman, and its dam
was a grade COW. 1t was a Septem-
Der calf and was weaned at two and
one-half months, being stunted until
March I, when it was donated to the
college by Mr. Breeze for a feeding
test During the first 149 days of
the feeding period the calf gained at
an average rate of 3.9 pounds daily,
and during the entire time until the
Western Royal show it registered an
average daily gain of 3.5 pounds
"Rosedale Sam" showed the greatest
gain of any steer ever fed at the
college and at the time of the Port
land show tipped the beams at 1000
pounds. The animal was sold at 30
cents per pound following the show
The six steers taken to Portland
by Herdsman Hanna of the college,
one of which was "Rosedale Sam,
brought 1915 in prize money, a W
S. c. shorthorn calf winning the
championship honors in that class.

BELIEF OF POLICE
Three Recent Fires Give Evidence of
Incendiarism-Lett of Warm
ing Sent to Citizen

Believing that at least three fires
during the past two weeks have been
of incendiary origin the police de-
partment is conducting a careful in
vestigation of several clues that may
lead to the apprehension of the fire
bugs. A barn owned by S. S. Phil

under mysterious circumstances. The
barn was used by Mr.. Phillips as a
wood shed and storeroom and adj

who, few months ago, received a
letter signed "A Friend" in which
the owner was warned that "his
house might go up in smoke most
any time" and cautioned to "be care
full what you say and do" The Rit-
ter house was damaged considerably
by the heat and flames but was saved
by the work of the fire department.
Saturday night a small residence
on Methodist hill, owned by NJ. D.
Henry, was totally destroyed by fire
which gave every indication of in
cendarism. The residence had been
occupied by the family of Mr. Frank
worth, who was employed on the
paving work, the family leaving the
place only Saturday morning be-
cause of fear on the part of Mrs.
Frankworth that the place would be
burned down, the fear being the re-
suit of alleged threats. Because of
this expressed feeling on the part
Of Mrs. Frankworth the owner of the
residence insured it for $500 only
the day previous to the fire. The
fire evidently started in a shed at
the back of the house. The loss on
the dwelling was approximately $500.
while the furniture, owned by w. e.
Weir, was worth about 5000. The
case is being fully Investigated.
There is little doubt that the fire
which damaged the Oscar Amos resi-
dence was incendiary, as two previ-
Gus attempts are alleged to have been
made to burn the building. 1t is
through probably that the firebugs
may be gang of local boys, who
nave cultivated mania for burning
