Early Settler Laid
To Rest Tuesday

The valley was called on this |
week to mourn the loss of one of
it's earliest pioneers in the passing
of Mrs. Anna Jaeger of Vernita,
who died early Saturday morning
at the Hospital of Our Lady of
Lourdes in Pasco, following pro-
longed illness.
Since 1898 Mrs. Jaeger had lived
at Anaqum Ranch, near Vernita,
coming there with Mr.. Jaeger the
year of their marriage. There her
four children were born and there,
except for temporary absences, she
continuously maintained her resi-
dence, striving to make it hos
pitable home.
During the last years of her life
Mrs. Jaeger had been a sufferer
from heart trouble with other COM
plications, and was forced to spend
many weary periods in the hos
pital.
She was woman of strong char
acter, developed and made stronger
by the exigencies of pioneer life.
She was devoted to her ideals, to
which she chung in the face OF the
misfortunes and i'll health of her
later years. Two gifts made to the
White Bluffs high school several
years ago, the drinking fountain in
front of the building and a paint
ing of Mt. Rainier that hangs in
the auditorium, attest the interest
she felt in education and art. She
was of the Baptist faith, and a
member of the Vernita Women's
club.
Funeral services were. conducted
from the Presbyterian church in
White Bluffs Tuesday morning by
Rev. Obert of Pasco. In accordance
with Mrs. Jaeger's last wishes, the
121st psalm was read and two OF
her favorite hymns, Beautiful Isle
of Somewhere" and zone Sweetly
Solemn Thought" were sung during
the service. The floral tributes were
many and beautiful Pail bearers
were E. E. Meeker, G. L. MCGEE,
John Grom, Hans Strack, Earl
Knaub and Edmund Anderson. She
was laid to rest in the White Bluffs
cemetery.
Anna Katherine Dorothea Schro-
der was born November 3, 1869, at
Reedsburg, in Sank county, Wis
consin. At the age spf three years
she moved with her parents from
wisconsin to Sibley, Iowa, where
she lived until she was twenty one
coming in 1890, with Mrs. E. j
Hatch of Zillah, to the state OF
Washington, where for time she
made her home with relatives In
Puyallup. She entered the College
of Puget Sound, where she studied
for five years. In June, 1898, she was
married to Otto III. Jaeger of va
kima, and in the following Deem
Der came with him to the Priest
Rapids valley, where they took ur
homestead on the Columbia river
the present Anaqum Ranch. Foul
: children were born to the union
Mrs. Carl Halverson of Sacramento
!, California; Mrs. T. B. La Rue Of
Spokane; Edward o. Jaeger of Yer
nita, and Mrs. Fritz Allwardt Of
Tieton. Besides Mr.. Jaeger and these
four children, left to mourn hel
passing are a sister, Mrs. Minnie

Construction of four addi- tional dredges was begun dur ing the year but not finished early enough to yield any notable amount of gold during the sea- son. Six dredges, some of which had been idle for several years, were again active in 1885. One dredge that was active in 1884 was idle in 1935.

From the door, Mrs. Mansfield was calling

everybody did. He was exuberant youth.

and hugged her and lifted her off the ground.
He called her sweetheart and told her how
glad he was to see her
The girl in the long coupe came back after
supper. Dan had changed from his puttees
and khaki knickers and lumberjacks shirt
to his dark suit. jamie was scrupulously busy
behind her counter and hardly looked out the
window But the others did. The girls in the
lunchroom stopped their chattering and
looked at her, and Mrs. Mansfield came over
from her desk

said. why not come and admire it,"
I'm turning in early" said jamie.
But she went with him just the same, and
they sat together on the rustic bench as she
and Dan had sat so often. He was slouched
down, drawing on his pipe, staring off at the
trees. 1t was long time before he spoke.

on her suddenly. "She thinks maybe III do"

Dan climbed out of the coupe, dragging his

He was the same Dan she had fallen in love

grinned until it rounded the curve. Slowly,
jamie went to meet him In back, near the
cabins, Gray Worth was working and watch

her. He grabbed her and hugged her and
lifted her off the ground and shouted some
more. jamie was laughing excitedly. He was
calling her sweetheart and telling her how glad
he was to see her.

jamie smiled. "You look fine. Dan," she
said softly.

He won't be happy unless he plays

He turned his gaze on her. The scrutiny

he was seeing through her too easily

You can't, she said.
Then that S that, he murmured, and re-
filled his pipe leisurely. Dan and l got

He's good company she admitted.
II imagine so. We had long talk. Dan
likes to talk. He told me about this girl

and he met her last week in San Francisco.

quickly, He merely faces facts. He's used

though he was only trying to help. He was

And this time she wasn't quite so angry.
His eyes were friendly, if not eager He
was getting it across as subtly as he knew how
I'm remember" jamie said.
She saved Gray's job twice in the following
month. Mrs. Mansfield threw up her hands
and wanted to ask the company to send her
someone else.
But he's improving, jamie pleaded "You
know he is. And with Dan pitching in "
And so Gray stayed, and remained con-
scientiously in the background, and left every
thing to Dan. Dan was still good company.
He called jamie his sweetheart and his girl,
but in manner too hearty and unabashed.
Concerning the girl Louise. who was crazy
about him. he was quite frank She's great

lightly.
He leaned forward and took her hand.

1T was," she answered eagerly. But is

You building the biceps," put in Janie.
She was suddenly acutely aware of the odor of
liniment.
Dan looked hurt. II We got to get in shape"
he said. Kiss me, JAMIE

and began to mediate
1t dawned on her that he was right. Every
thing was the same 1t was just another
summer. The added something she had built
up in her mind during the past months was
nowhere in sight
Jamie! Mrs. Mansfeld's disappeared. Can
now?"
She raised her lips Even as he kissed her,
she knew it was all just second stanza.
There was nothing final about it, Something
had to be DONE
She did it the next day She was on her
high stool, watching Gray He leaned against
her counter, smoking contentedly. He had
improved in the month. The fading light
made him seem brown and rugged Outside
was the sound of Dams axe, splitting wood.
Dan couldn't get enough.
The bitterness in Jane's voice, when she
spoke, amazed her. IF you still want to
help" she said to Gray, I'm
taking you up
We'll stroll and talk it over"
he said.
They moved slowly through the
Grove in the dusk. jamie blurted

"I'll say. I've got to harden up JAMIE,

greatest running guard the Coast has seen in

"Yes, Dan," said JAMIE, smiling feebly,
"but -

at Gray. MY new sidekick?"
HE just came" jamie said. Hes trying
hard. hope you'll help him..
Dan chuckled again You're a wretch!
I'm half a day late, so you grab the new guy.
Is that the way it is?"
You know it isn't, Dan." she answered
sharply.

Gets Only J
Hits In Last
8Gan1es
By FRANK BUCK" ONEILL

BY FRANK BUN ONGAAA
And now comes a batting slump
to bedevil the soul Of Buddy
Lewis. In his last eight games the
young third sacker has made just
exactly five hits. He has been at
bat SO times, and his batting aver
age is Just exactly .155.
There have been times when
batter went to the plate 80 times
and made Just five hits, yet he
could not be said to be in slump.
The best line drives that ever left
bat have been caught. or may
be an outfielder toured back to
the fence the way Jake Powell
toured for Carey's shot yesterday
afternoon. The average melts all
right, but the ball it met with
power.
Lewis, however, has not been
bruising the ball in the slightest:
He struck out once yesterday and
was retired 'on infield taps three
times. On Wednesday he got one
hit and flied to left once, butt twice
he was out on easy rollers and
once he struck out. On Tuesday
he Jared no better, although base
hits sprayed the lawns at all
points.
Neither Harris nor Lewis Is In
the least concerned over the faCt
that hits are not dropping. Lewis
is a natural hitter and these pc
RODS of depression must come TO
every man who ever swung a bat.
Ruth once went % times at bat
without a hit, and this was not
in his last year with the Boston
Bees.
Buddy Myer Rests
Buddy Myer rested yesterday.
Myers digestive tract is still Civ
ing him trouble and the field
leader has not been able to play
up to standard.
With Myer out Of action and
Kress at shortstop, Bucky Harris
sent the Old Master Of infielders
to second base. We hasten to
state that the Old Master Of
infielders is Ossie Bluege. Bluege
made three rouSing hits in the
course of the afternoon. He
drove in the first Washington
run with q single to right after
Hill singled and stole second in
the third inning.
Bluege made a fine saving
catch on q wide throw by Miles
who called for a pitch to stop
Cliff stealing. There are very
few infielders who could have
stopped that peg by Miles, but
the Old Master did it and made
it look easy.
.: Charged with Loss
Fred Marberry's return to the
hill as a, starting pitcher came
to an unhappy ending. He was
charged with the loss Of the
game, but looking beyond the
day and its immediate develop
mentS, we find cause for real
optimism over the showing Of
the big Texan.
He allowed only three runs
and six hits. He pitched with
intelligence and judgment, and
had the Griffs been able to hit
the sinker-ball hurting of Chief
Elon Hogsett, the Chippewa In
dian boy, Marberry probably
would have won with ease. If
the Griffs had slugged as they
slugged on Wednesday, Marberry
would have won.
