Deming, and was in buoyant spirits when they separated at 10 o'clock. While he was two years more than three score and ten, his a did not weigh upon him. He was planning to build a new home near the park and have the residence at 748 Ellis street, which the family has occupied many | years, refitted into an apartment-house. Tall buildings had arisen on either side | of the old home, and to Deming the surroundings became undesirable. He| | was warmly attached to his home me,] and with his brother happily discussedl jdealistic plans for a more commodious house and a pleasanter environment. In 1854 the three brothers came to| California from lowa and for some| years engaged in mountain packing in| Northern California and Southern Ore- gon, their headquarters being at Yreka. | But in their youth, first in Indiana ahd | then in Iowa, they had learned the| milling trade, and they seized their op-| portunity in California. In 1860 they started milling on a small scale in this i city. Success followed their careful methods, and they next founded the great Capitol Mills. A fourth partner) was at this time taken in, and the company was organized as the Dem-| | ing-Palmer Milling Company. Gradually | their operations were extended, until| mills were built in several cities—Fres- | no, Los Angeles, Seattle, Tacoma and Portland. Palmer retired, and then the concern, that ranked as one of the big- gest business institutions on the coast, fell into the hands of the three broth- ers. But the death of Halleck Deming in| 1899, in breaking up the partnership, caused the surviving brothers to retire from active affairs. The mills were sold | to the Sperry Company and stock was| taken in that corporation. The last few years of Edwin Orr Deming’s life were those of ease and enjoyment of an estate valued at over $500,000. | He married in 1866 Miss Clara Roh- ner, and besides the widow there sur- vive the daughters, Misses Alice and Adelaide Deming and Mrs. Arthur H. | Smith, and a son, Edwin O. Deming, who is connected with the American Milling Company. The Coroner's inquest will be held to-day and the funeral on Sunday. —e—————— | FIRE IN KERN RIVER OIL DISTRICT DOES DAMAGE Loss of $4000 Caused by Fierce Flames That Destroy Part of Plant. | BAKERSFIELD, Oct. 7. — Word reached here this afternoon that a | flerce fire late last night at the Kern | River oil flelds totally destroyed the | beiler house, the pumping plant and . one oil rig belonging to the Kern River il Company.
