T.H. TONGUE DEAD
Oregon Representative Succumbs To Heart Failure
Brought On by Acute Indigestion - End Came Peacefully and Without Pain - His Daughter Bertha and His Secretary Only Persons with Him - Many Expressions of Sorrow.

     Washington, Jan, 12. - Representative Thomas H. Tongue, of the First Oregon congressional district, in the presence of his daughter Bertha and his secretary, Mrs. Ruane, died suddenly in his room at the Irvington, in this city, at 12:50 yesterday afternoon. A few minutes before he passed away he lapsed into unconsciousness, and died without a word, without any suffering. His son, Thomas H., Jr., did not reside with his father, but was notified of his approaching end, and hastened to his father's bed side, but did not reach there until after he had passed away.
     The physicians who were summoned, and the family physician, Dr. Bovee, as well as the coroner, agree that death was due to acute indigestion, which superinduced paralysis of the heart. Mr. Tongue had been in unusual health, and except for occasional attacks of dyspepsia, to which he had been a subject of late years, has not complained of feeling badly this winter. He considered he was in better health than he had been in for two years past, in fact. Mr. Tongue attended a dinner Saturday evening and did not retire until a late hour. When he slept late yesterday morning, contrary to custom, nothing was thought of it.
     At 10 o'clock he received a call from two Oregon friends, with whom he discussed at length matters of personal and political character. During the stay of these gentlemen he remained in bed, but rose and dressed as they left, and had a light breakfast in his room. He said at the time that his appetite was not good, and complained slightly of dyspepsia. At his request his daughter, Bertha, brought him a soda solution, which he drank, and remarked that he thought that would fix him all right. He went through his morning mail, and then lay down on the couch to read the papers. His daughter joked with him slightly about being sick and too stubborn to have a doctor, but he insisted that he was not ill. A few minutes later Miss Bertha noticed that her father was breathing heavily and deeply. She became alarmed and telephoned at once for a member of physicians.
     Before either the doctors or his son arrived, however, Representative Tongue had passed away, having become unconscious at the time heavy breathing set in. In his late moments of consciousness he suffered nothing beyond the natural disturbance caused by an attack of dyspepsia. He had no consciousness of his true condition as he lapsed into insensibility. His end was quiet and peaceful.

THE LAST TRIBUTE
Entire State Attends Funeral Of Thomas F. Tongue
Floral Offerings Completely Cover the Coffin - Many Societies to Which He Belonged Took Part in the Last Sad Rites - Hillsboro Almost Too Small to Hold All Who Attended

     Hillsboro, Jan. 19 - Thomas H. Tongue went to his grave yesterday with all the honor that his state could give him. Nearly all Oregon attended his funeral at Hillsboro, and at the last impressive services, the preacher said most fittingly: "It is Oregon that is mourning today, for it is Oregon that has lost a son" A committee from congress, made up of men who represented every part of the nation, was present, but the funeral ceremony was Oregon's own tribute to the dead.
     Hillsboro was not big enough to hold in comfort all who wanted to attend Mr. Tongue's obsequies. A special train from Portland carried down a multitude, and hundreds poured into the town from all parts of the state. Nearly all the state officials were present, and so was a majority of the legislature. And from others who could not attend, came a wreath of floral offerings that were piled mountain high over the altar of the little Hillsboro Methodist church. The coffin was fairly buried in flowers, and they too, came from all parts of Oregon.
     Committees representing the various societies to which Mr. Tongue belonged, were at the depot to meet the party, and they acted as an escort when the remains were taken to the court house at Hillsboro.
     At the court house, which had been draped in morning from tower to basement, the coffin was placed in the main corridor, and all yesterday morning a line of people with uncovered heads passed by it.
     The special train from Portland reached new Hillsboro at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. It brought the committee of congressman appointed by Speaker Henderson to attend the funeral. Six cars were needed to contain the others who went down from Portland on the same mission.
     The guests were received by 50 members of the Knights of Pythias in full uniform. The Knights formed a line with drawn swords, through which the visitors passed from the street into the court house, and acted as ushers during the ceremonies there. They were in charge of Mr. Tongue's body while it lay in state, and they mounted a strict military guard which contributed much to the impressiveness of the day's services.
     They surrendered the body to the Odd Fellows, but took it to the church, where Mr. Tongue and his family have worshipped for years.
     The distinguished assemblage simply packed the church auditorium until it was impossible for anybody in the audience to listen to the ceremonies in comfort. The escort of Knights kept the aisles open until the Odd Fellows carried the coffin in, but after that every man struggled for the best place he could get.
     The services in the church were short. The pastor introduced Dr. C.E. Kline to make the opening prayer, and there were many damp eyes in the audience when Dr. Kline concluded. He was for a great many years the pastor of the congregation to which Tongue belonged, and his prayer took a wider range than is usual for this reason. His eloquent appeal was, perhaps, the best verbal tribute paid to Mr. Tongue during the day. Then a passage of scripture was read by Rev. R. H. Kennedy, of the Hillsboro Congregational church, and Rev. L.E. Rockwell, presiding elder of the Methodist church in Northern Oregon, then preached the funeral sermon.
     During the services the Portland quartet sang a number of hymns, and were heard to special advantage in the beautiful "Lead, Kindly Light." When the church ceremonies were concluded the body was turned over to the Hillsboro Masonic body, which escorted it to the cemetery and interred it with their own picturesque ritual, Worshipful Grand Master W. F. Butcher conducting the services. Over the grave Mr. Butcher paid one last eloquent tribute to Mr. Tongue's memory, and the whole ceremony was filled with those who listened to him.
     The congregational delegation will return to Washington at once, and Mr. Moody left last evening, to resume his work there. For the present he will be Oregon's sole member of the national house of representatives.

----------------------

     Thomas H. Tongue, who had attained state prominence long before he became a national figure, was born in England on June 23, 1844. His parents were Anthony and Rebecca (Lawson) Tongue, and he was their only child. He was educated in England until his 15th year, when his parents emigrated directly to Washington county, Oregon, where they located on a farm several miles north of Hillsboro, where the parents yet reside. Young Tongue had had fairly good advantages in the English schools and as soon as he arrived in Hillsboro he worked incessantly to give himself a finished education. Attending district school on the North Tualatin plains for several years, he finally concluded to take a collegiate course. He began school at Pacific university under great difficulties, graduating with high honors in 1868. Upon leaving the university he commenced the study of law under Hon. W.D. Hare, and so apt a scholar was he that he was admitted to the bar in 1870.
     He early espoused the principles of the Republican party, by which party he was several times honored by nominations to prominent official positions, serving locally as a member of the council of Hillsboro, also as mayor of that city and a member of the school board for six consecutive years. In 1888 he was elected to the state senate and served on the judiciary and other important committees.
     He was chairman of the Republican state convention held at Portland in 1890, and was a delegate to the national convention of the party at Minneapolis in 1892. In 1895 he was a candidate for United States senator, when McBride was elected. In 1896 Mr. Tongue was elected to the Fifty-fifth congress, defeating Binger Hermann for the nomination.
     During the six years that he sat in congress, Mr. Tongue did great work for Oregon. He never lost an opportunity to secure appropriations for the rivers and harbors and for other purposes. When the house committee on rivers and harbors was out here a year ago, Mr. Tongue accompanied the members on their trips up and down the Columbia, and gave them the necessary information needed.

"Married"

     Washington's birthday was celebrated last Sunday, February 22, at 6:30 p.m., by a quiet wedding which took place at the home of O.L. Stranahan, when Miss Ethel Mooney deserted the ranks of maidenhood and with Mr. Roy Anderson, set sail upon the uncertain sea of matrimony. Rev. J. L. Hershner performed the ceremony which binds these two young people together for life. The parlor was decorated with Oregon grape and potted plants, and "all was merry as a marriage bell," when in walked the young couple to be made one. The bride was becomingly attired in a tan-colored dress, with relief of white at the throat and a pretty white bow in her hair. That happy couple departed on the 8:35 train for Gem, Idaho, where the groom has been employed for some time past. A good sized crowd of young people were at the station to see them off and shower them with rice and hearty shouts of good wishes for happiness on the voyage of matrimony. The bride is the eldest daughter of Charles Mooney, one of our prominent strawberry growers, and has spent the most of her life in Hood River, where she has many friends who all wish her joy and happiness, and who congratulate Mr. Anderson in gaining for himself a life companion in the person of one of Hood River's fairest maidens.

OBITUARY

MRS. MARIAN HILLIAR FEAK

     Marian Hilliar was born in Delaware county, New York, July 23, 1823, and departed this life February 15, 1903, in Hood River, Oregon,. Of her early life and parentage little is known. She grew to womanhood under the parental roof and was married to Captain Edward Feak in her 23d year. With her husband she migrated to LaCrosse, Wisconsin. Here, in what was then a new country, she bore her part well until prosperity dawned and plenty came. In 1870 they moved again into a new country and settled on a homestead in Wright county, Iowa. Here the writer first met her and her estimable family, and has since then counted them among his best friends. Many times has he enjoyed the hospitality of her home, always open to the itinerary. There were eight children -- Mrs. Martin Rand of University Park; Mrs. Mattie Davis of Vienna, Maine; William Edward, deceased in early life; Mrs. Mae Harwood of Portland; Mrs. Ida Cox, deceased; Jacob H. Feak of Hood River; Mrs. Dora Waid of Niles, Mich.; James Feak of Portland -- a family of which any mother might be proud.
     Mrs. Feak always maintained in her home that beautiful Christian atmosphere that should hallow the early life of her children, and her family without exception are walking in her footsteps.
     Her husband, Edward Feak, was laid to rest in our midst some seven years ago. Mrs. Feak's faith was simple and trusting, her life exemplifying the religion she professed. Her last illness was of short duration, and with love's sweetest ministries about her when the end came, she fell peacefully asleep. Her funeral took place from the M.E. church, conducted by her pastor and the writer, and the presence of a large number of friends, February 16, 1903.

A CARD

     March 13, 1903. - In the last issue of the Hood River Glacier there appeared a notice of the marriage of Lula Lenz and Joseph Dimmick. Please take notice that we were married by the justice of the peace in Walla Walla, Washington, on the 15th day of November last. The notice inserted in the Glacier of last week was not done by mistake, but rather, we believe, with malicious intent.

Mr. and Mrs. J.B. Dimmick.

IN MEMORY OF DEAR GRANDMA
By One Who Loved Her

Dear Grandma's gone from her cares to rest;
     Her sorrows now are o'er;
She walks and talks among the blest
     On that happy golden shore,
Where the tree of life is fresh and green
     And the crystal waters flow
Where naught of sorrow e'er is seen,
     But youth's sweet beauties glow.

Through life, through sickness and in death
     Her faith did make her strong;
An with the last faint lingering breath
     Redemption was her song.
"Oh! let me go and be at rest;
     Why must I linger here?
I've friends that wait among the blest,
     And friends I hold most dear.

We know, some day, where our work in done,
     Though probably not so well
As she who has the victory won,
     An in that land doth dwell;
Yet God's rich mercy, just the same,
     Extends to you and me,
An to that one that He doth claim
     To be from sin set free.

But oh! beyond this shadow land,
     Where all is bright and fair,
I know full well those dear old hands
     Will palms of victory bear;
Where crystal streams through endless years
     Flow over golden sands,
And where the old grow young and fair,
     I'll clasp dear grandma's hands.

GRIBBLE - BOOTH

     The home of C.C. Hobart on Fourth street between Liberty and Lincoln, was the scene of a quiet wedding Wednesday afternoon, March 18, 1903, when his daughter, Mrs. Nettie Booth, was united in marriage to W.S. Gribble of Hood River, Rev. D.V. Poling performing the ceremony, which a very few intimate friends witnessed. The parlor, where the auspicious event took place, was very pretty in its added decoration of Oregon grape and pretty ferns. The bride, who was gowned in white organdie and carried white carnations, looked very dainty. After the ceremony light refreshments were served and the members of the bridal party accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Gribble to the westbound train, on which they left for a ten-days' stay in Portland and returning will remain in this city a week before going to their home at Mt. Hood, Mr. Gribble being a merchant at that place. The bride, who has lived in The Dalles from childhood, is well thought of and in every relation in life has proven herself a perfect lady and deserving of the highest esteem of all.
     The groom, who is a nephew of J. S. Fish, is not so well known in this city, but is spoken of by those who have had dealings with him as a man of much strength of character, honorable and a gentleman in the highest sense of the term. The future, therefore, looks bright for the newly married couple, and their friends in The Dalles wish them a happy life together. Among those present at the ceremony were: C.C. Hobart, father of the bride, Mrs. Billings, mother of the groom, Mr. and Mrs. J.S. Fish and two children, Mrs. C. L. Schmidt, Miss Alma Schmidt, Mrs. R. Gibbons, Mrs. W. H. Taylor, Mr. and Mrs. W. H.

He had stepped back from the pond side of the car to avoid the splash, when a heavy log rolled onto him from the upper side of the track. He was frightfully crushed and died instantly. A coroner's inquest was deemed unnecessary. Undertaker Bartmess prepared the body and shipped it to Blythedale, Mo. A widow and seven children, the eldest 18 years of age, accompanied the remains to the deceased's old home.

DEATH OF PIONEER
Henry Winslow Corbett Passes To The Great Beyond
Was One of Portland's Foremost Citizens - Father of Lewis and Clark Exposition - His Life Was Crowned with Affairs of Business, state and Philanthropy - End Was Peaceful.

     Portland, April 1. - Henry Winslow Corbett, for over half a century a foremost citizen of Portland, is dead. The end came yesterday morning as the dawn crept over the eastern hills. While the light of the new day was dawning on the life of one of Oregon's greatest pioneers was ebbing away.
     So slowly did the waning taper of life go out that they who grieved at the bedside could scarcely perceive when it flickered last. The angel of death touched Mr. Corbett gently, and he went as he had wished to go, easily and painlessly.
     The end of Mr. Corbett's life so soon was quite unexpected. His health had been failing for three months past, and that he was on a downward slope was evident. The vital forces were spending themselves fast. Last Saturday the family saw the first manifestation of the approaching end. "I'm very sleepy," said the patient, but complained of no bodily suffering. The heart which for over 76 years had supplied the sentinels of the brain with life's fluid was growing feeble and the sentinels were drowsy.

------------------

     Henry Winslow Corbett was born at Westborough, Mass., Feb. 18, 1827, and was the youngest son of a family of eight, six of whom are reached maturity. His parents were Elijah and Melinda (Forbush) Corbett. Mr. Corbett's boyhood was passed in Washington county, New York, where, until he reached the age of 13 he received an ordinary common school education. At that age began his business career in a store at Cambridge, remaining two years as clerk and a part of the time attending Cambridge academy. He then went home, and, after a short term at school, secured a clerkship at Salem, the county seat. After a year there he went to New York City and secured a clerkship in the dry goods store of Williams, Bradford & Co., serving their seven years. During this period he firmly established himself in the confidence of his employers, so that in October, 1850, they furnished him the necessary capital to ship a general line of merchandise to Portland, Oregon, by the way of Cape Horn on the bark Francis and Louise. He arrived in Portland March 4, 52 years ago (1851). At that time Portland contained about 400 inhabitants and five small stores.
     As soon as Mr. Corbett had gained a good financial start he began to take a prominent part in those enterprises which he saw were needed to develop the resources of the country. In numerous business, public, church and charitable enterprises Mr. Corbett held a prominent position. He was a director of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Co., always casting his influence in behalf of liberal management and to secure the lowest rates of transportation possible with good and quick service.
     He was largely instrumental in the original board of trade, and for several years was its president, and was active in the chamber of commerce. In all the important measures of these bodies Mr. Corbett was foremost in council and hearty co-operation. Mr. Corbett was chairman of the committee of one hundred, which took a prominent part in municipal affairs during the hard times of 1893-95.
     The Lewis and Clark centennial exposition was the last great creation of Mr. Corbett and was in many respects his favorite enterprise. His heart and soul were in it, and he gave to the management of its affairs more time and attention than to his own private business. It was his purpose to make the success of the exposition the rounding out of his long business career, and he would have succeeded if his life had been spared.
     Mr. Corbett is justly entitled to the honor of being the father of the exposition. Without his help and influence the local company would never have been financed, nor would the state have been so generous in its treatment of the undertaking.

DROWNING OF RUSSELL CHASE

     Russell Chase, a worthy young man, aged 26 years, from Palisade, Nebraska, met his death by accidental drowning in Wind river on March 2.
     He was in the employee of the Oregon Lumber company and at the time of accident was on or near a splash dam. The rushing waters must have caused him to grow dizzy, for he suddenly fell into deep water beyond the reach of fellow workmen. It was thought that he was injured and rendered unconscious by striking timbers in falling. His body was recovered on a Thursday. The facts of his death pointed so plainly to accidental drowning that a coroner's inquest was considered unnecessary. At the request of his bereaved parents, sent by dispatch, his body was brought to Hood River for burial.
     Deceased was well educated, industrious, and of exemplary habits. He was an active member of the Congregational church at Palisade, Nebr. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. L. Hershner in the Congregational church, Sunday afternoon, after which the mortal remains of this promising young man were laid to rest in Idlewilde cemetery. Deceased is most highly spoken of by Mr. Larkin and family and Mr. Zolls and family who knew Mr. Chase well in Nebraska.

IN MEMORY OF MRS. FLAGG

     Whereas, God has called to her eternal home our beloved sister, Anna Winton Flagg, we, her sisters in Canby Relief Corps, would express in some degree our love and appreciation of her most estimable character. We extend our sympathy to her family in their bereavement and urge them to remember how long they had her to counsel with and to love them, and how their lives were enriched by the presence of one of the best and sweetest of women. Canby Corps will miss her words of wisdom, and we have no one to fill her place.
     Whenever we looked at her vacant chair may we each realize that to imitate her example is to make us more worthy of that inheritance which our Creator has prepared for us.

Another hand is beckoning us,
Another call is given,
And glows once more with Angels steps,
The path that leads to heaven.

DEATH OF GEORGE BOOTH

     George Booth of Willow Flat met his death Thursday evening, May 28, 1903, by a fall from a wagon. The accident happened as he was driving home from town about 7 o'clock in the evening. The fall from the wagon produced concussion of the brain and he died in a few minutes. His daughter, Mrs. J.L. Atkinson, came up from Portland and took his body to that city for burial.
     George Booth was born in Scotland in 1830, coming to the United States in 1850; to California in 1855 and to Oregon in 1881. He was a California gold miner, having participated in some of the rich strikes and stampedes of early days and especially that of Eldorado. After engaging in various western enterprises Mr. Booth settled at Hood River 22 years ago, and started to cut a farm out of the brushy cascade foothills, 9 miles from town. His efforts were crowned with success, and his exhibit of apples at the Buffalo Exposition won him a gold medal.
     He leaves one daughter, Mrs. J.L. Atkinson of Portland, and a wife, whom he married in 1900.

DEATH OF MISS LOTTIE RIES
Jacksonville Sentinel

     The death took place in this city, Monday night, at the residence of J.W. Opp, of Miss Lottie Ries, aged 22 years and 6 months. Miss Ries had been an invalid with stomach trouble and last fall came from her home at Hood River to Jacksonville, to gain a change of the air and water. She gained at first materially, but recently she was taken with brain fever and soon sank from the effects. While in Jacksonville Miss Ries made her home with her sister, Mrs. J. W. Opp, and by her quiet, winning way made many friends who deeply regret that her young life should end so soon. Her mother, Mrs. Annie Ries, and brother Frank Ries, but arrived here too late to see her alive.
     The funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at the Catholic church, the last rites of burial being conducted by Rev. Father Murphy. A large concourse of friends of the family accompanied the remains to the Catholic cemetery, where the interment was made. The flower offerings were most lavish and in beautiful designs. The family deeply appreciates the sympathy and many acts of kindness shown them by the people of Jacksonville.
     Miss Lottie Ries was very well known in Hood River, having made her residence for nearly a year in our village. She was of a very sunny disposition, always trying to improve her mind and make of herself a woman whom all could admire and honor. Her ideals were of the very highest and purest. She leaves a mother and a large family of brothers and sisters to mourn her death so early in the bloom of young womanhood.

"Let us be patient. These sever afflictions
     Not from the ground arise;
But oftentimes celestial benedictions
     Assume this dark disguise.

"We see but dimly through the mists and vapors,
     Amid these earthly damps;
What seem to us but sad funeral tapers
     May be heaven's distant lamps.

"She is not dead - the child of our affections -
     But gone unto that school
Where she no longer needs our protection,
     And Christ himself doth rule.

"And though at time, impetuous with emotion
     And anguish long suppressed.
The swelling heart heaves, moaning like the ocean,
     That cannot be at rest.

"We will be patient, and assuage the feeling
     We may not wholly stay;
By silence sanctifying not concealing,
     The grief that must have way.

DRUNKEN INDIAN SHOT DEAD

     A couple of Indians made things lively Thursday night on the road between Lamar's store and J. H. Filsonger's place, and Friday morning one of the red skins was found dead in front of Howell's blacksmith shop with two bullet holes in his breast. A coroner's jury found death to have resulted from gun shot wounds inflicted by an unknown person. The evidence introduced went to show that the shooting was a case of justifiable homicide. A white man did the deed but no one knows who.
     Thursday night two Indians, a father and son, called at Lamar's store and asked to buy cider, but "Peck" Ellison, the clerk refused to sell them any, whereupon the Indians became abusive and Peck started to put the offenders out of doors. A scuffle ensued and Peck was on the bottom with two drunken Indians on top. Mr. Lamar pulled off the brutes, but not before they had torn Peck's sweater to shreds. One of the store windows was also broken. The Indians then started up the road and in front of the K of P. cemetery met Cop Henrich. They asked him for a match and as he put his hand into his pocket the Indians grappled with him. Cop had a pair of wire pliers in his pocket with which he promptly knocked the older Indian down. The marks of the pliers were plainly visible on the forehead of the dead man the next morning. Cop finally escaped.
     The Indians continued their work until the wrong man was struck. It was 10 o'clock at night when three rapid shots were heard, two of which took effect in the breast of the old man at the third wounded the younger Indian in the side and forearm.
     Night Watchman Allen was notified of the matter early Friday morning. He immediately notified Coroner Burget, who came down from The Dalles and impaneled the following jury: Sen Fouts, Aud Winans, Frank Button, Ernest Hemman, Hans Jochimsen, Bert Stranahan. The verdict was in accordance with the above account. Indian friends of the dead man took charge of the remains and shipped the body to the John Day country, where, when alive, "Big Billy," as he was known, was considered a bad Indian. He was about 60 years old and his son John Dooley, is about 24.

     After a lingering illness of a year or more, Mrs. Humphrey Pugh died in Hood River, Oregon, June 12, 1903. She was born in Indiana in 1833; was married to Humphrey Pugh in 1855.

The mother was a Wishram Indian woman returning from the berry patches and her "little woman" (as the Indians put it) did well in choosing the Dalles City as her birth place instead of a wick-a-up, for besides being christened "Dalles City," she will hereafter be the mascot of the steamer and has a warm friend in the entire crew. -- Chronicle.

FALLS FROM STEAMER AND IS DROWNED

     Fred Foster, a deck hand on the Dalles City, was drowned in the Columbia, Sunday morning, at a point just this side of Bingen. It appears that the young man had been playfully scuffling with his companions and had started from the side door of the lower deck to go on the outside toward the bow. He slipped into the water, and a small boat was immediately lowered and put out for his assistance, but he sank before his companions could reach him.
     Fred Foster was a young man of 24, and had been in the employ of the Regulator line but a few months. He was an industrious and well respected young man.

DEATH OF W.W. TREAT

     W. W. Treat died at 8:45 Wednesday evening, July 19, 1903, from paralytic stroke received the same afternoon while on the street in front of Cowell's store. He was apparently in as good health as he had been for a year, although still feeble from the stroke received two years ago. Friends carried him to his house just above the post office, where he lingered but a few hours.
     Mr. Treat was born in New York State 71 years ago in August. He came to California in the early days, and for 20 years he was engaged in the hardware business at Virginia City, Nevada, where he was burned out at a loss of $40,000. Fifteen years ago he was married, at The Dalles, to Mrs. William Graham, who survives him. He has no living children.
     Mrs. Drew of San Bernardino, a sister whom Mr. Treat had not seen for 40 years, was on her way to visit with Mr. and Mrs. Treat the very day of his death. Although 80 years old it was her intention to make a home for her brother.
     Mr. Treat was a chapter Mason of a Portland lodge, and funeral arrangements will be made by the Masonic order of Hood River. A man once well supplied with the world's means, he was of a sensitive, kindly nature, bearing his own burdens and sparing from tears or trouble those about him.

DEATH OF A.G. BRADFORD

     A G. Bradford, who had been gradually ailing for the past six months, died at the home of his niece, Mrs. A.B. Canfield, Sunday, July 5, 1903. He was buried Tuesday, in Lone Fir cemetery, Portland, beside the body of his wife, who died in 1863.
     Mr. Bradford was 79 years old at the time of his death, and was one of Oregon's best known pioneers, and with his brothers built and operated the first portage railroad at the cascades of the Columbia, 40 years ago. With his brothers, James, Daniel and Putnam, he has been identified with the growth of the state since 1850. The Bradford's were among the first, if not the very first men to operate steamers on the Columbia River. The portage road project was the greatest accomplishment of all their undertakings, however, and was a tremendous success. Its construction cost large sums of money, for in the early days it was a much more expensive proposition that at the present time.

DEATH OF SILAS IDLEMAN

     Silas Idleman, father as Mrs. H. L. Dumble of Hood River, died at his home in Portland, last Friday, at the age of 81. Dr. and Mrs. Dumble were in Portland Sunday in attendance at the funeral. Mr. Idleman was born in Marion county, Ohio, February 10, 1822. His father and mother were among the early pioneers of Marion county, having come from the Virginias in the second decade of the last century, the son having much to do with clearing the old homestead, which afterwards descended to him. Mr. Idleman followed farming and stockraising very successfully until 1880, when he retired from active business life. In 1889 he followed his family to Oregon and learned to love his adopted even better than his native state. On May 14, 1846, he was united to Miss Catherine Ann Pontius, also of pioneer stock from Pennsylvania. To this union were born 13 children. Mrs. Idleman died in 1899.

WM. FOSS MEETS WITH SINGULAR DEATH

     William Foss died early Tuesday morning, August 4, 1903, at his East Side of home, of arsenic poisoning. The circumstances of his death are very singular, though not the least of blame is attached to any one. Mr. Foss was helping T.

A short time before the dinner hour Mr. Steinhilber's little girl took a can of arsenic of soda compound out to Mr. Foss. The same can had always been used for this purpose, but Mr. Foss, in a joking manner, asked if it was coffee. "No, of course not," said the little girl, "it is deadly poison." But it seems Foss put the can to his lips and took a swallow. Mr. Steinhilber found him shortly after a deadly sick. The poisoned man was taken to the house and given quantities of milk and egg, which induced vomiting. A doctor was called and the patient was moved to his house. About 6 o'clock he became unconscious when the doctor was again called. He never regained consciousness and died early the next morning.
     After he became sick, Mr. Foss said he knew the liquid was poison, but declared he didn't know why he drank of it. Mr. Steinhilber says the man has been working hard since early spring from daylight to dark, which with worry and trouble had broken him down, and perhaps while thirsty, and in a fit of absentmindedness he drank the poison.
     William Webster Foss was born at North Adams, Mass., September 10, 1840. At the age of 14, with his relatives he located in Illinois, and in 1871 at Danville he was married to Miss Phoebe Purser. Five children came to bless the home, three of them preceding their father to the better country. In 1885 Mr. Foss was converted and united with the Methodist church at Belmont, and often he walked to prayer meeting from his home on the East Side, after the toils of the day were done. During the pastorate of Rev. Kaufman he united with the U.B. church, and has been a faithful, consistent member for these years. He leaves two sisters, two sons, and his wife, besides many friends to mourn his departure.
     Mr. Foss was a veteran of the civil war, having served with Company K of the 37th Illinois infantry, General Black's regiment.
     Funeral services were conducted at the U.B. church, Wednesday afternoon, by Elder J.T. Merrill and Rev. H. C. Shaffer, and were largely attended by his East Side neighbors. At the grave in Idlewilde cemetery, the ritualistic services of the Grand Army were conducted by members of Canby post.

     The many friends of Mrs. William Foss sympathize with the grief stricken woman, who feels deeply about loss of her husband. Mr. Foss was a kind and beloved husband. The fond affection which he bore toward his family, made the death of his two daughters a loss which bore heavily upon him. He was a hard working man and dearly attached to his wife and home. The impression has gone abroad that he might have taken the poison intentionally. The facts of the case are that he was tired and thirsty at the time. He asked the girl who brought the mixture to him in the orchard if it was coffee. Been hard of hearing he did not her reply, and in a fit of absentmindedness took a sip into his mouth before he realized what he had done. He immediately spit it out, but enough of the mixture was left to cause his death. Mr. Foss was not a well man for years, and had been troubled with heart disease. As long as he could speak he insisted no one was to blame in the matter by himself.

TWO MILL MEN MEET TRAGIC DEATHS

     Two fatal accidents happened in Hood River last week within 24 hours. Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock John Johnson, an employee of the Menominee Lumber company, was drowned at the mouth of White Salmon, in Washington, while attempting to cross the stream on a boom pole.
     Friday morning at 8 o'clock Clifford Stuhr, while helping to shift boom sticks for the Mount Hood Lumber company, was crushed by two of the logs rolling upon him.
     Clifford Stuhr was the 13-year-old son of Phil Stuhr, of Hood River, foreman of the logdrivers for the Mount Hood Lumber company. He was born at Midway, LaCross county, Wis., February 10, 1890, and died August 21, 1903, at Hood River, Or., aged 13 years, 6 months and 13 days. About four years ago, with his parents, he removed from his Wisconsin home to Hood River where he has since lived. He will be sorely missed by friends and loved ones, who have the sympathy of the community in the untimely death of their son and brother. The funeral services were held Saturday at the U.B. church, conducted by Rev. H. C. Shaffer. Many beautiful floral offerings were made by friends.
     John Johnson came over from Lower Durham, N.B., and was a young man 24 years of age, and well educated. He was buried in the church yard at White Salmon, Sunday, August 23, 1903 . Mr. Johnson was an Odd Fellow, and his funeral was conducted by the White Salmon and Hood River lodges. Rev. Garrison of the White Salmon Congregational church preached the sermon. Norman Young of Hood River came from the same town that Johnson did, and was well acquainted with the young man. About 50 Odd Fellows attended the funeral.

     The funeral services over the remains of Mr. Johnson, the young man who was drowned in the White Salmon river, were held under the auspices of the lodge of Odd Fellows, Sunday afternoon. The church was taxed to its utmost by those who sympathies were aroused by the accident. Rev. Mr. Garrison gave an appropriate and feeling address. If our community could do so it would send to the young man's home in far New Brunswick a message of true sympathy.

     A sad accident happened at the mouth of White Salmon last Tuesday. John Johnson, an employee of Frost & Cameron, was drowned while at work. He and Joe Sullivan were working together and Mr. Sullivan left Johnson to go to see about some chains they had been expecting from Coulter's camp. When but a little way from the river Sullivan heard a noise, and looking around saw the young fellow in the water. He hurried back to help him, but the unfortunate young man was too far from the shore and sank before Sullivan could do a thing towards helping him. Several men tried all evening to find the body, but had to give it up until the next day. James Armstrong, another employee of the company, founded the dead man early Friday morning. He was taken to White Salmon and was buried there Sunday by the Odd Fellows. He had joined the order about two weeks before his death.

Mr. Davidson invited the boys to keep up the music. He rather enjoyed it for a while, but finally had to succumb, and the crowd was treated to cake.

     Passengers from Stevenson Tuesday evening reported that George Gilstrap of Drano, Wash., was drowned in the Columbia during the high wind in the afternoon. Another man who was with Gilstrap managed to cling to the upturned boat and was saved. The river was so rough that the Oregon Lumber company's steam tug Pearl could not go to the rescue until the Regulator came along and went in front to protect the tug. Gilstrap, it is said, was a thorough sailor and in the habit of crossing the Columbia in all sorts of weather. H. M.

YOUNG WOMAN CRUSHED TO DEATH

     Miss Fannie E. Hillstrom of Upper Hood River valley was crushed to death and drowned, Monday afternoon, by her horse falling on top of her in the Bone irrigating ditch, about 12 miles south of town, on the East Side. The accident occurred about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The young woman had started on horseback after cattle and it seems was riding along the bank of the ditch, when the embankment gave way, throwing the horse and rider into three or four feet of water.
     Burt Belieu, at work a short distance below, noticing the muddy water and having seen the girl go by a few minutes before, started up the ditch. He called to the farm hands of N.W. Bone, and the horse, almost dead, was taken from the ditch before the body of the girl could be found.
     Funeral services were conducted Wednesday by the Order of Washington, of which lodge the young woman was a member. Miss Fannie Hillstrom was 22 years and 9 months old. Intelligent and industrious, she was highly thought of by friends and neighbors.

MR. AND MRS. THOMPSON ARE SURPRISED

     Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Thompson were given a surprise party at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Truman Butler, on State street, last Saturday night. It was the 15th anniversary of the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Thompson, and a party of their friends gathered to celebrate the event. They were invited to take dinner with Dr. and Mrs. Dumble and afterwards to spend the evening with Mr. and Mrs. Butler. It was arranged that the party should gather in the spacious hallway, and upon the arrival of the guests, receive them at the door with showers of rice. Truman Butler and another of the party went upstairs to watch from a front window the arrival of the "bridal party," and to give the alarm in time for the party downstairs to get ready to act well their part. It wasn't long until the watchers rushed downstairs and took positions by the front door where all of the folks gathered in the back parlor join them. Mr. Butler then announced, "This alarm is only for practice," and the watchers returned to their post. Someone then conceived the scheme of playing even with the watchers by locking them in the room in which they were on guard. The scheme was carried out, and the watchers were not a little surprised to hear the key turn in the lock and the retreating footsteps on the stairs. But the expected guests finally arrived, the rice was thrown and the surprise was complete. Congratulations were in order, and -- well, we had better not tell who kissed the blushing bride. When order was once more restored, games were introduced, and at 10 o'clock refreshments were served, after which Truman Butler told several of his best stories, and the party broke up, all expressing themselves as having spent a very pleasant evening, and wishing the happy couple many returns of the day. The presents to the bride consisted of a beautiful set up cut glassware -- punch bowl, fruit bowl, dressing bowl and saucer, celery dish, tooth-pick holder and one-half dozen tumblers.

DEATH OF SAMUEL B. CROCKETT

     Word was received in Hood River, November 28, of the death of a former resident of Hood River valley. Samuel D. Crockett, one of the first settlers of the Puget Sound country, died at his home in Kent, Wash., November 27, 1903, aged 84 years. He crossed the plains in 1843, settling first in Oregon, and moved to the Sound country in 1845. He took up one of the first donation claims on Whidby Island, and built two block-houses that still stand. He built the first gristmill in that section. He was a member of the Territorial Legislature of Washington in 1857. In 1877 he came to Hood River and located on the place now owned by A.C. Staten. He was well-versed in fruit growing, and on this place growed a fine orchard of apples, peaches, pears and cherries. In 1878 he was married to Miss Matilda Lloyd, who survives him. About 1888 he moved back to Puget Sound country, and for the past dozen years made his home at Kent, near Seattle, where he had a comfortable home.
     Mr. Crockett was born in Virginia and grew to manhood in the state of Missouri. He belonged to the same family with Colonel David Crockett, who met his death in the defense of Fort Alamo, Texas, in the war of the Lone Star state with Mexico in 1836. Samuel B. Crockett was a very scholarly man, retiring in his mode of life, a kind husband, charitable neighbor and respected by all who knew him.

DEATH OF BERNARD WARREN

     Bernard Warren, a pioneer of Hood River and one other our most estimable citizens, died at his home in Portland, December 15, 1903, aged 65 years. He had been in failing health for several years, and his death was not unexpected. Two years ago, on account of his poor health, he sold his fine fruit farm at Frankton and moved to town. In September last he moved to Portland to be near his only daughter, Mrs. D. P. Ramsey.
     Bernard Warren was born in Northern Ireland in 1849. He spent most of his boyhood in Scotland, coming to the United States when 21 years of age. With several sisters and brothers he lived some years in Ohio. During the construction of the Union Pacific railroad he came West and settled in Southern California, where he lived nine years, and where he met and was united in marriage with Miss Elizabeth Lloyd, a native of Barrie, Canada, who survives him. In 1877 he came with his wife to Hood River and located at Frankton, where he resided until two years ago, where his children, were born and where he improved his land and made a delightful home as well as a productive farm. He is survived by a widow and two children -- William Warren and Mrs. D. P. Ramsey -- two children having died in infancy; two sisters of living in Ohio and one sister in Ireland. Mr. Warren was a man of noble character, a kind husband and affectionate father. He was a consistent Christian and a member of the M.E. church.
     Funeral will take place today (Thursday) from the M.E. church in Hood River at 12:30 o'clock. Burial will be made in Irving cemetery at Frankton.

MRS. EMMA FRANCES ALLISON

     Mrs. Emma Frances Allison, who died in San Francisco, December 8, 1903, from the shock following an operation, was born in Bethel, Polk county, Or., January 15, 1859. She was the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph McGuire of this city. It is sad to state that Mrs. Allison was the first child to be called away from a family of eleven children. Her father's was the first death to enter this large family three years ago. Mrs. Allison leaves a husband, son, mother, three sisters and seven brothers to mourn her sudden death. It was the first time so many of the children ever got together as they did on this sad occasion, there being only two of the children absent.
     The family wish to extend thanks to the kind friends who helped them so much during their bereavement.
