ARE WEB 37 YEARS
For 67 years, New Year's
day has had unusual signifi
cance for Mr. and Mrs. George
Miller, of lower Cove, ond as
tho years have como and gone
that significance has In
creased even though tho phys
ical vigor is on the wane and
old-time celebrations are out
of the question'. '
New Year's day is the wed
ding annlversory of Mr. and
Mrs. Miller, who arc among
tho oldest ond best known of
all tho pioneers of the Grande
Rondo valley. Ever since
1876 that day has been cele
brated. Thla' year, however,
it passed quietly, as tho pio
neer has been 111 and confined
to hie bed for many months
now.
Mr. Miller, who is In his
83d yoar, camo to this vulley
by wagon train in 1873, start
ing out from tho old home In
Hancock county, Illinois. In
the same train was Matilda
Conloy. daughter of a well
known pioneer, the family
making the trip west from tho
samo mlddlo west state. Tho
two families settled in the
same general part of the val
ley, and after a rcsldonco of
two years hero, tho two young
people from tho families were
married. Their home has al-'
ways been here, though for
a few years tho winters were
spent In tho warmer climate
of California.
If we err not, the first break
in their family came with the
death of thoir son, Frank two
years ago. All of the remain
ing children live in tills val
ley with tho exception of ono
son, Ben, a resident of Los An
geles. These children are Wil
liam and Earnest of lower
Cove, John, with whom Mr.
and Mrs. Miller make their
home, Mrs, Gcorgo Gray, of
lower Cove, (Mary),' Mrs.
Jack Smith of Iowa district,
(Effle), Mrs. Ed Clarke of All

the scene of dancing parties which
are very largely attended and which
are always most enjoyable affairs.

dancing- party Is to be held. ' These
are always open to the public. On

"THE EXPERIMENTAL FARM"
One of the days in each year
which Is looked forward to by mem
bers of the grange In this county Is
the day when the annual picnic 1b
held at the Eastern Oregon Experi
ment station near Union. This has
been an event of tho past IS years,
at least, nnd was made possible
through the efforts of the late Rob
ert WIthycombe, co-opcratlng with
grango leaders. And during those
years tho address of welcome was al
ways given by Mr. WIthycombe. In
1917, M. L. Carter, the Sandrldge
poet, had been asked to respond to
Mr. Withycombe's words of welcome,
and he remembers that his response
went something like this:
Every year when summer comes
And crops are growing 'round,
When sun, with warmth is calling,
forth .
The riches of the ground.
The farmer gets to thinking
That his life Is rather slow
And there's something In his system

Citizens, Neighbors, Friends
Pay Tribute to Late Co-Worker
In Large Memorial Gathering
,At tho memorial services held for
Robert WIthycombe at the Methodist
Episcopal church in Union Sunday
morning, the following tributes were
paid him. C: L. Cadwell as mayor of
the city, spoke briefly as follows:
"We are grouped together this
morning In one of God's tabernacles
to pay our tribute and respect to
one. who had lived among us many
years. It is very hard to express the
heartfelt feeling which we cherish:
for "Bob. ' In looking over hi years
cf administration, we find many
things worthy of commemoration. In
nil he did he cherished one ambition
to be of some benefit to human
kind. Not one act during all his
connection with civic affairs did he
do to besmirch his record. He car
ried one ideal he was always look
ing ahead so that his actions might
be of some benefit to his fellow
man. .
"He cheerfully accepted posts of
responsibility that ordinarily exposed
one to criticism and censure, but he
never shirked responsibility on that
account. He worked untiringly as
president and director of the stock
show, and was far ahead of any of
us In his thoughts and ideas, fie
never refused to give advice, good
clean, sound advice. v
, "We are all deeply grieved over
our loss. We shall never again hear
that cheery greeting, 'bless your old
heart and 'honest Injun. We are
happy to- have known him and to
have been numbered among his
friends. We deem it one of our great
est privileges to have known 'Bob."
: L. Z. Terrall then gave the follow
ing tribute:
"We are here today In the presence
of the great mystery, the great ex
periment through which we must all
pass at some time.
"Wo have met to pay tribute to
the memory of our friend and neigh
bor, commonly known to most of us
'Bob.' We have known him these
many years as he has gone In and
out among us In the pursuit of his
dally labors, and as he collaborated
in tho work of the community and
the service to his fellowman.
"If each of us should tell of him
and his work, there are certain char
acteristics that all would mention.
Whatever our general impression
might be, each would mention his
genial, kindly nature, his sunny dis
position, his honesty and Integrity,
his love of people, his fine ability to
aid in work for others and his ca
pacity for friendship. There would
be a general mention of his infec
tious enthusiasm, his devotion to his
work, nnd a wealth of reminiscences
of mutual experiences that stand out
cieur ana snarp in cne memory oi
eacn or us; and through them all
would be the conviction that v0
were privileged to know and work I
with one of God's true noblemen, a
friend and companion of sterling
character a follower of the Master
In the service of his fellowman.
"It is not given to us to under
stand why in tho strength of com
parative young manhood, when so
needed byhis :family and his com-,
munity, when doing so much for the
