Laugenour possessed many manly traits of character which distinctly marked the old-fime southern gentleman. He was courteous and gentle and at all times a loyal friend. In the defense of his conviction he was ever ready to stand, up and face all opposition, but he was tolerant of the opinions of others. He was faithful in the discharge of whatever he conceived to be his duty. Possessing so many rare and generous attributes of character.

It is not strange that he should have made so many warm friends here, there and everywhere he was known. His death was untimely and it will be sincerely mourned by many friends as well as relatives.

A CONFUSION OF NAMES The Mrs Cook Reported in Distress no Relation to Photographer A similarity of names has resulted in some confusion in relation to W. B.

Friday evening's Bee 1ms a splendid illustrated article on the dairy industry at the slate farm. Wo regret Hint owing to the congested condition of the "Democrat's" advertising columns, Incident to the holiday season, that we have not the space to reproduce the article. There are three very tine Illustrations. The first shows the butter makers at work. The second represents the dairy class of 1908 lit their white uniforms.

The last shows a number "of farmers, employes, and professors and a group of fine dairy cows. Tho article, devotes considerable space tp the description of the slate farm buildings. Among other tilings, it says: "With the exception of the dormitory, the most finished building on the farm Is the castle for the cows. With two long wings attached lo the main body of the building the modern costs nearly $20,000. The cleanliness of Dutch housewives no longer seems a synonym for the scrupulously clean after Inspecting these quarters.

Tho floors are of concrete, with gutters to drain all moisture that might accumulate. In one of the wings, which Is 40 by 120 feet, Improved stanchions made of steel are stationed to accommodate fifty-two cows, while sister wing Is equipped to accommodate a larger number of young stock, for the scientific farmer no longer allows the calves to accompany the motliors In their jaunts for grass.

Holloway, John Hevel and Miss Nina Thos. Person, whose illness was noted in these columns a day or so ago, died at his home in Dunnlgan between 1 and 2 o'clock this morning. Death was due to cerebral apoplexy, with which he was stricken about two weeks ago. The funeral will he held on Sunday. The body will arrive from Dunnlgau on the 3:25 p.

m. train, and he taken direct to the city cemetery. Interment TREASUHEES' CONVENTION Mis. Mario Pierce and her two- months-old baby boy left this morning for Eldon, Missouri, where she will Join her parents. Her story Is a pathetic one.

She was married in the east last March and she and her husband cnme to California and located Winters. In July she was deserted by her husband, who left her In destitute circumstances. From that day to this she has heard nothing from him. Realizing that she was soon to become a mother, slm sought admittance to the Sacramento hospital. Those In chargo (old her slio was properly Yolo county chargo and she waa finally admitted into the county hospital.

A month after her admission her baby was born. Mrs. Plerco la so refined and genteel In appearance that she soon won the sympathy of Mr. and Mrs. C.

E. Bin- nine, and they In turn laid the case before the supervisors, who soon be- caino deeply interested In It, with the result that choy decided that her Christmas present should bo a railroad ticket and money and clothes sufficient to keep her and her babe in comfort during the, trip back lo her parents in Missouri. Mr. Binning was at the do- pot to assist them In getting away, and Mrs. Pierce expressed to him her deep nnd lasting gratitude for tbo kindness and generosity with which she had been treated.

It is both surprising and gratifying to note what an interest many Woodland women are taking In the Hed Cross fight against tuberculosis. A great many of them are using the Hed Cross stamps on their correspondence, and they are attaching them to their Christmas packages. Tho war upon tuberculosis Is a movement that Is becoming Important to every one. The fact that 10 per cent of the deaths In this country last year wore by tuberculosis Is proof enough that some determined and strenuous action Is necessary to stop the white plague, Tho device for raising money Is very simple The Red Cross is selling stamps or stickers to be pasted on Christmas presents; Just as the war tax stamps to be pasted on checks and contracts. Thus each stamp, In, addition to bringing money Into the Hed Cross treasury, helps the work.

G. Crutcher, county treasurer, Is attending a convention of county treasurers in Sacramento, which held its first session Friday afternoon, and expects to adjourn this afternoon. A legislative committee will be received, which will take up the several matters presented at the meeting which are to be incorporated Into bills for presentation to the legislature for passage. Among these is one which definitely settles the question of payment of premiums on bonds given by treasurers, providing for a per cent payment for county treasurers who attend to swamp land district matters, also sanitary district accounts, and several other provisions deemed necessary to protect the county treasurer. Cook and family A Grass Valley dispatch to the Bee says that Mrs.

W. B. Cook wus found practically starving and sent to the Jones Memorial hospital, where an operation was performed Monday night as'the one chance in ten thousand to save her life. The dispatch goes on to say that the Cooks sold their home In Grass Valley and removed to San Francisco not long ago. They found no work and Mrs.

Cook returned alone to Grass Valley. She was too proud to ask assistance and suffered In silence. The whereabouts of Cook is unknown, W. B. Cook is a sign painter and was in Woodland several years ago.

Some people who read the story at once Jumped at the conclusion that It had reference to W. B. Cook and family, photographers, who recently removed to Gilroy. The name Is the same, but the two families are In no way related. Mrs.

L. M. Elder received a letter from W. B. Cook, the photographer, on Wednesday.

Mrs. W. I. Geer also received a letter recently from Mrs. Cook.

Ashley. THE BASKETBALL GAME A. After Long Wranele Outdoor Pliying Is Decided on THE RANCHMAN'S LOVE. The Ranchman's Love made a great hit with an immense audience at the Elite theater, First street, last night. A Criminal's Daughter was another big success, and The Ticklish Man caused screams of laughter.

The new arrangement of seats and the pleasant temperature were greatly appreciated by the crowd. On Monday night "One of the Bravest" will Iw presented. It is a beautiful colored film, 1200 feet In length, and Js of that rare class of pictures that heart Interest and a great deal of comedy. It comes direct from the Pantages Empire, San Francisco. The College City basketball team accompanied by quite a number of friends, arrived on tbs south-bound Oregon express, to play off the tie semi-final game with the Woodland high school team in the championship contest of the S.

V. I. A. L. On account of the damp grounds and the certainty of a beggarly attendance at an outdoor game, the Woodland team insisted that the game be played In new armory hall.

The College City team Insisted that tbe game be played on the high school campus, without regard to the gate receipts. They declared that they had never played Indoors and therefore would bo at a great disadvantage. After wrangling over the matter til long after 2 o'clock, it was finally decided to play as originally scheduled on the high school grounds. The game will probably be called about 3 o'clock. There has been so much uncertainty about tho game and tbe weather Is'so disagreeable that It Is likely that the crowd which will witness It will be small.

Stocks all these mines are selling on the tfew York and Boston Curbs at dollars and dollars per share. 1 have been a share holder in the Vulcan Mine since ts Inception and have constantly Increased my holdings, because It Is the one mine of the Copper Belt that has given the California Investor a ground Moor chance to participate In the big profits that come with the advance In the price of the stock following on the development of one of these big sulphide deposits. I have carefully studied the situation of the Vulcan Mine tive to Its.position in the strike of the main fissure making all these millionaire coppers.
