WAMIXNOTON THE CHEHALIS BEE-NUGGET, FRIDAY, APRIL 3, 1931. John H. Jones, Cinebar, Seeks Information Of Brother Not Seen For 66 Years John H. Jones of Cinebar, well known and successful dairyman, who has resided In Lewis county nearly 35 years, this week related a most unusual story of a young brother who lost to his parents, Mr. and Mrs Joseph Jones, while they lived at Saw Mill Plain.

Pennsylvania, 66 years ago April 7. Mr. Jones, who will soon be 74 years of age and who has been a resident of Washington since in the eighties, being a member of the state senate of the first Washington legislature, is now making one final and last try to locate, if possible his missing brother. When elected to the senate Mr. Jones lived at Franklin, King county, where he was engaged in mining.

The story of the younger disappearance reads like a story from a book. The fact that this man, if alive he may be, bears a prominent and distinctly evidenced birthmark, leads Mr. Jones to hope that possibly with the aid of the press, he may be found somewhere in the country, most likely in the Pennsylvania portion of the United States. This boy, whose name was William, was six years and three months old on the day he disappeared, April 7, 1865, the day before President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. From that time to this he has never been seen nor heard from by any member of the Jones family.

The lad had been sent with his father's dinner at noon to take it to the latter. He did not reach his father and although most extensive and nation wide search was made for him no word was ever received of the child, who would now, if living, be a man past 70 years of age. William Jones, who is missing, is described as having blue eyes and brown hair, as a child. On his left side, just above the hip bone, is a brown birthmark or large molish growth. When he was a boy this was about three-quarters of an inch wide and an inch and one-half long and it is possible that if he lived it increased somewhat in size.

He was rated as bright and intelligent for his age. Mr. "Jones is hopeful that some word of his missing brother may be unearthed somewhere in the country and in that event will be highly gratified to hear from him or from anyone who may be able to help locate him if he happens to yet be alive. As a man the missing William Jones would probably be above medium heigh and of medium frame. J.

H. Jones of Cinebar has one other known brother living, Charles Jones by name; also a sister, Mrs. Mark Barker, both residents of the state of Washington. Starts Official Testing. T.

L. Fishback of Adna has recently started official testing under the direction of the State College. The Fishback herd of registered Jerseys is an outstanding one and ranks high for average herd test much of the time In the Lewis County Dairy Herd Improvement Association. Oxford Polo's Susan of this herd, after being 19 days in milk, produced 47.4 pounds of milk in one day which yielded 2.4624 pounds of butterfat. Elma to Hare Pair.

Gray's Harbor county will not its fair this year at Elma. However, a number of enterprising citizens down that way will, instead, hold a "substitute" fair on a Saturday and Sunday late in August. Support of the Pomona Grange, commercial organizations, 4-H clubs and other interests have been assured and a creditable showing is expected. Gate Man Sells Pine Sire. John Hagloff of Gate recently sold a splendid Holstein bull to Gleason Brothers of the Satsop valley.

The bull is from a dam that made 580 pounds of butter at two years and eight days. His sire, Nugent Valed- essa DeKol. is out of Nodel Segis Prilly Gelsche, 1283 pounds butterfat, an all American cow for 1926. With such a sire the Gleasons have made a fine start in building up a herd of real dairy cows. Heavy Rains Worth While.

Within the past week, since the March rains began in an apparently earnest endeavor to make up the 12 Inches winter's shortage, we have been at various times greeted by friends who have asked us how we liked the wet. Uniformly our reply has been that the rain was fine, which was the correct answer. Continued rains now rather than later should lead us to hope that when we really should have good weather within the next few weeks It will be here. At any rate the added moisture that has fallen within the past week or more will do no harm. Cranberry Outlook Good.

Pacific county cranberry growers are rejoicing over the crop, outlook, after the disastrous experience of last year, when their crop was practically a failure because of the severe cold the previous winter. An average crop of 40,000 bushels is expected compared to one of 7000 bushels in 1930. Dividend Notice!

TACOMA Tnrd Contest Interest Grows. With 320 country homes in Lewis county now entered in the 1931 farm yard beautification contest, this district should present a most attractive appearance to those driving through the country the coming summer.

Last week the bulb growers of the Puyallup valley had a fine banquet, attended by around 350, most of whom are engaged in that business.

The only suggestion we would offer about the affair is that its serious business was marred by the presence of a few wordy politicians, whose talks were ill advised and out of place at an event of this kind. At Chehalis the Chamber of Commerce has for several years held its annual Farmers and Merchants picnic. Last year for the first time a speaking program was eliminated and this made it possible to shut out effectively the politicians. The result was that all who attended the picnic in 1930 agreed that it was the most enjoyable of any that had been held locally.
