M. P. HANSON

Kennewick's last Civil War vet
eran answered the final call Mon
day morning when M. P. Hanson
passed away at the home of his
daughter. Mrs. Christina Larsen.
Mr.. Hanson had been in poor
health for two years, suffering
from chronic myocarditis and high
blood pressure and had gradually
grown weaker this fall and had
been confined to the house for
some time. Mrs. Larson took her
fathers body to Rockford last
night where her brother, Fred and
Alvin Larsen joined her and the
funeral was held there, the family
home for many years. The deceas-
ed was buried in Mt. Hope GEM
etery near there, beside his wife,
who died twenty years ago. :.
MAIDS Peter Hanson was born In
Copenhagen, Denmark, June z,
1849 and was 80 years old. He
came to America at the age OF
seventeen and enlisted in the Civil
War in 1864. being member OF
the .132nd Illinois infantry. After
the war he went to Minnesota
where he engaged in farming, fol
lowing that occupation until his
health failed. He was married
there and moved with his family
to Washington in 1889. Of late ne
has made his home with his child
rem, usually spending the winters
here with Mrs. Larsen. Besides his
daughter. he leaves three sons, j.
E.. who lives in Wyoming; Eman-
uel, in California and Fred In Wor-
ley. Idaho. The latter two have
been with their father most of the
fall.

Washington, D, C. Feb. 6--- American representatives have laid before the great powers and China a proposal to free China from for eign restriction ou tarilt lcvics in return for abolition of the "likin,"
