Martin, who passed away last Wednesday, was one of the most interest ias characters of early pioneer life In Oregon. She was horn in Alabama In 1827. Jn 1S47 she was married to Louis Martin in nates county, Missouri, where the three sons, John, Ed and Joe, were horn, the daufjhter, Mrs. Mary J. MeGowan, beinR horn in Ore eon. In 1 S58 with her hushand, sons and parents, Col. J. J. Turpin and Cynthia Madison Turpin (the latter being a descendant of President Mad ison), with a large company of oth ers, crossed the plains to Oregon. They endured all the hardships of emigrant life. Some died on the way, cattle were lost, and In crossing the mountains were ohllged to leave one wagon and many things that would have added to their comfort in their new home In Oregon. Only once were they attacked by the Indians, and through the tact of her father, Col. Turpin, who was cap tain of the train, no battle was fought, although if one of their num ber went far from camp for game or water he was apt to be killed for his gun and clothing.

Latub. f 'w'A This advertising expres ' jsAx sion undoubtedly dates baclc to jj&O the beginning of barter and sale, ' and as a beat Im Mr. and Mrs. Martin took up a do nation claim near what is now Cot tage Grove, at that time there being only one house In Eugene, and they vcre obliged to go to Oregon City for provisions. When the Rogue River Indian war broke out Mr. Martin did some scouting in the cause of de fense, leaving Mrs. Martin and chil dren at home. She was always equal to every ocasion, and when Indians ' came and demanded of her for food or to cook their meals, she grabbed her gun and told them to move on, and they followed the advice. Although nurtured in a southern home with Blaves at her call, she proved the strength of her character by helping her husband to build their first log house and doing all kinds o'i. work needful in pioneer life. One slave boy refused to be left behind and came with them to Ore gon, and, strange to say, he lived un til three years ago, dying at his home in Albany. In 1884 Mr. Martin died, and Mrs. Martin and her three sons sold their home and moved to Harney county, Oregon, In 1907 Mrs. Martin and two sons, John and Ed, moved to Ashland. Although 87 years of age, her mental activities were as strong and alert as in her younger days, keeping in touch with all the every day activ ities and current events. Her chil dren all survive her, and she had six great grandchildren. MRS. GARD. The Commercial Club requests the names and addresses of parties who are considering coming to the coast .his summer.

P. I. E., Nov. 22. Oregon, which recently made such satisfactory winnings at the stock show, has now repeated the of fense of picking up about all the worth-whilo prizes at the sheep and goat show. In fact, if it had not been for the Oregon animals here there would not have been much of a show. In the Cotswolds, Oregon cleaned up everything on the map, and the re sult in the Lincoln competition was practically the same. In both of these breeds and in Southdowns, Ox fords and Dorset Horns, Oregon ex- Ibibitors had the champion ewes and frains and the reserves. That's going some. Resides thees winnings, high awards in all the other classes were captured. In Shropshires, C. E. Cleveland of Gresham landed one first, several seconds, and was for tunate in having the reserve cham pion ewe under one year. In the Hampshires the Willamette Valley Stock and Lamb Company of Coival lis won several seconds and thirds. On Cotswold, William Riddell & Sons of Monmouth had the champion ram two years old or over and F. A. Koscr of Itickreal the champion ram one year or under, and the under one year, also second and third in each instance. And on through the list those two Willamette valley exhibit ors took first, second and third. In the Oxfords, C. P. Kiser of Harris Uurg got first and second in the dozen different classes, and also had the champion and reserve ram and ewe. In the Dorsets, Cleveland and Gresh am landed everything, first, second and third in every class. In the I Southdowns there was some especial ly stiff competition with exhibits from the University of California, but J. G. S. Hubbard of Monroe won all the first and all of the seconds with one exception. Hawley & Son our own Commissioner Hawley proved to have the champion and reserve ram and the champion ewe in the Lincolns, while Riddell & Sons of Monmouth showed the reserve cham pion ewe. These two also cleaned up the seconds and thirds, with the Haw leys having a little the better of the number of prizes won. When it came to the Romneys, William Riddell, Jr., got everything in sight. O. A. C. made several entries in Shropshires and won first in pure bred wethers one year and under two, also winning second and third. The college had the championship pen of pure bred year-old wethers, and the wether lambs won second and third. Goat prizes landed in Oregon in about the same proportion. As a whole it was an Oregon show, with Oregon on the long end of the prizes and money. CumniiKKionei' Hooth Honored. In appreciation of the able and especially happy service rendered by R. A. Booth of Eugene, while resi dent commissioner at the Oregon building the past month, the forty or more people associated with him in the work here presented him with the finest universal book cover that money would buy in San Francisco, the names of the givers being in scribed thereon. The presentation was fraught with such good feeling and the expressions were such that Mr. Booth and several members of the Oregon family gathered about the great fireplace in the reception room were in tears. During his official ascendency at the Oregon building, which is now the portion of Commis sioner C. L. Hawley, the Eugene man met all of the complications and af fairs in general with such evident desire to accomplish the most, and did it all with such tact that univer sal good will developed into increas ing admiration and no little affection. Acting as spokesman for the "fam ily," Ben C. Sheldon rolced this sin cere good feeling in such phrases that Mr. Booth, to whom the occasion was a complete surprise, was overcome with emotion. He finally protested against accepting all the credit given him and insisted that he had only tried to do his duty as well as the many others about the building had done theirs. If he had met with fa vor, he was happy, but he was most happy in the belief that all together had accomplished greatly for Oregon, the brightest gem in the diadem of states that crowns the Pacific. He regretted the severence of these strong though hurried ties and urged that he would ever hold extremely ATLANTA. 2tt tm. hlgk WHITBY. IH In. bijh !2S ymi, CWI, hWt a 6... hn. COLLARS happy recollections of his associations with the Oregon building people. Both Mr. and Mrs. Booth have been popular at the Oregon building, and we're effective in extending the social relations in such way that Oregon will necessarily profit. Booklet inLetter . Causes Comment The results which would be ob tained should every Ashlander en close a "glass of water" booklet or write a few words concerning the re sort development hero, is amply ex emplified by the conniniendatory en closure regarding the Ashland de velopment received by O. L. Young in a letter from H. X. Lawrle of the Oregon Bureau of Mines. Mr. Young enclosed an Ashland booklet in a business letter to Mr. Lawrie. Wide spread publicity for Ashland's devel opment must be gained and every Ashlander can do his or her little part by dropping a line about Ash land mineral waters, parks, etc., in all of the letters sent out. This plan Is being put into use by big corpora tions and cities with good results and should be kept in mind by all Ash landers. Mr. Lawrie's enclosure follows: "I wish to thank you for the most attractive Inscription of the Ashland mineral springs. This advertisement will certainly be successful in intro ducing the mineral springs of Ash land to the public, and I sincerely trust that the popularity of Ashland and its mineral springs will equal in popularity Carlsbad and its wonder ful mineral waters. I can see no reason why this should not come to pass, for the waters of Ashland have been tried and not found wanting from a therapeutic standpoint, and now since the development of these springs has been liberally made by the people of Ashland, the only step to success is that of good advertis ing, which has already begun. "Very truly yours, "H. N. LAWRIE, "Chairman Oregon Bureau of Mines and Geology." Reimer Harvests Big Beat Yield Prof. F. C. Reimer of the Southern Oregon Experiment Station harvest ed a part of the sugar beets from the farm last week and made a careful test of the yield, and the result Is certainly wonderful and shows that sugar beets would be one of the most prolific and best paying crops this valley could produce, and especially is this true of irrigated beets, as the test shows.

On the same land the non-irrigated beets yielded 19.73 tons per acre after being topped and 18.25 tons after being washed and trimmed. The .land was Rear creek bottom with salt clay loam for both experi ments, and the beets were planted in May. Prof. Reimer did not harvest all the beets, and would be glad to show any one interested both fields, if they will call at the experiment station. The Garden City, Kansas, sugar mill, with a capacity of a quarter of a million 100-pound sacks of sugar every year, that has been in operation since 1906, is a very successful plant. In 1914 the average per acre there was a little over 14 tons. The 1913 crop is being made into sugar now and will average about the same, and the farmers there are making good money and are satisfied with the av erage of 14 to 15 tons. Over 700 tickets to San Francisco have been sold from the Medford Southern Pacific ticket office this year. Phone news items to the Tidings.
