You have known farmers who, on digging their potatoes in the fall, have found a few in a patch of an acre or more which would weigh .lo r d pounds each. If a farmer showed these as a sample of his lot you would know enough about potatoes to know that there would be many left on the ground too small to pay to pick up. Now, 4-pound potatoes don’t grow in every hill; and when you find a bonanza piece of ore, just remem ber that there are certain to be small potatoes in the same hill and that as a general rule neither the j farmer nof the miner makes his | money out of either extreme, but j E T H E L R O O SEV ELT. from the average between.

Cooley, merchant of this city and pioneer of 1853, was I torn in Grayson county, Virginia, July 28, 1831, and died at his home in this city November 17, 1908. His parents, Martin Cooley and Chrischaua Currin Cooley, were natives of the same state. His father followed farming uutil his death iu 1840, in which year he started for Mexico with a drove of cattle and was never heard from afterwards. The next year the widowed mothor with her four children moved ,to Henry county, Missouri, and iu 1846 to Cass county, Missouri, where they fol lowed farming and continued in the same occupation until the spring of 1853, when with two wagons and five yoke of oxen they started for Oregon, arriving here in the following fall. The wagon train numbered 50 people and 13 wagons. They reached Foster's without any seri ous accident befalling them, from where they proceeded to Lane county, where Mrs. Cooley’s brother, William Currin, was lo cated, and took up a claim near Cottage Grove and although in poor circumstances and with little to do with they engaged in farm ing. George C. Cooley, who was the eldest child, secured a position as clerk in the store of Hugh L. Brown and Hugh Fields, which business was established hy Hugh L. Brown and James Blakey in 1850, the first and pioneer store of Brownsville, Oregon and for four years he used his salary for the support of the family, thus con tributing until they had paid up on their land and were a little ahead. He continued as clerk until 1863, whett he purchased a one-fourth interest in the store and then ran it with several changes in the firm name until 1868, when the firm of Cooley and Washburn was organized, which continued without interruption until 18,SO, when Mr. Cooley purchased the interest of Mr. Washburn therein, and with his eldest son, W . C. Cooley and his son-in-law, J. I). Irvine, established the firm of G. C. Cooley & Co., in the interest of which he continued at his post of duty. He acquired some real property adjoining the city of Brownsville and in 1892 platted Cooley’s additiou thereto. He was married in Brownsville, October 8, 1857, to Miss Harriet Blakeley, daughter of Capt. Blake ley, a pioneer of 1846, and veteran officer of the Rogue river Indian war in Oregon and who founded the city of Brownsville about 1854. To this union were born six children, as follows: William C. Cooley, Carrie, wife of J. H. Irvine; Etta, wife of Atty. Geo- W . Wright, of Albany; Kitty, wife of W . W . Bailey; Jas. B. Cooley, and Hmma, wife of Homer Driukard, of Almira, Wash. lie leaves surviving hint, his wife and the children above named and two brothers, John and A lex Cooley and one sister, Mrs. Ann Small, all of Cottage Grove, Oregon. The funeral was conducted from the l’ resbyterian church Wednes day afternoon at 2 o'clock, the sermon l>eiug preached by Rev. John F. Lyons, assisted hy Father Robe. The funeral was largely atteuded, the remains being in terred in the Masonic cemetery.
