Homecoming
Plans Listed
University of Oregon alumni may
be interested to learn that home
coming this fall will feature aca
demic and cultural activities at
their alma mater. And some ap
pear to be most unusual.
The planning committee at Eu
gene promises that homecoming
will include the traditional bonfire
and dance and football game, of
course, but attention also will be
drawn to less familiar phenomena
For example, visitors may call
upon a fish that is so dumb, the
committee says, it allows itself
to be picked out of a tank bare
handed. Another attraction is to be an
Intricately carved jade pagoda,
valued at $75,000, on exhibit in
the Museum of Oriental Art.
Even the signs erected on cam
pus by the school's 37 fraternities
and sororities are to illustrate ac
ademic development at Oregon.
And tennis courts will be convert
ed into a temporary gallery
luncheon where guests may view
the best work of student artists
while seated at the alumni lunch
eon. All this for the weekend of Oc
tober 17-19. Out at llayward Field
on October 18 the homecoming
game will send Oregon's Ducks
against Washington State's Coug
ars. Cultural emphasis or not, the
stadium is likely to he crowded,
so game tickets should be ordered
early from Bass Dyer at the Alum
ni Office.
Tentatively, the bonfire is sched
tiled for 8 p.m. Friday. October
17, the street dance under Japa
nese lanterns at H:4S p.m., two
rounds of lectures Saturday morn
ing, the alumni luncheon at 11:30
Saturday, Hie football game at 2
p.m. and the homecoming dance
at 9 p.m. Saturday.

while child born in the Goose Lake
Valley.,
Mrs.( Duke was born on May 4,
1871, and Is a lifelong resident of
Lake. County. At 87, "Minnie," as
she is fondly known to her con-

MRS. MINNIE DUKE
temporaries and those many years
younger, continues her interest in
life and the affairs of community
and friends. A family of six chil
dren, 14 grandchildren and 14
great-grandchildren has helped to
keep her acquainted with the vital
statistics of a somewhat scattered!
group.
At the time of her birth, the
town of Lakcview did not exist.
There were only a few home
steaders in the area. Mrs. Duke's
mother, Mrs. Nancy C. Myrtle,
was the first white woman to set
tie in Goose Lake Valley. She had
crossed the plains with her par
ents in 1852 and the family lo
cated near Eugene. She was mar
ricd to Horace Myrtle in 1869 and
immediately thereafter the couple
moved to a homestead north of
Willow Ranch, now known
the Carmen Fleming Ranch. They
brought cattle and their teams
over the old military road.
It was there Minnie Myrtle was
born, one of six children and the
only one surviving. Her school
days totaled three months out of
the year in a little log school house
at Crane Creek where the family
moved in 1877 when her father
bought a ranch from Bill Lowcry.
The property is now owned and
operated by the Leavitt family.
About 1881, her father sold out and
moved to the Willamette 'Valley
where he died the following year.
Mrs. Myrtle returned to Lakeview
with her family and lived at
Second and H streets North in a
large two-story house which was
destroyed by fire in the late 1930s.
Minnie Myrtle was married to
James Patrick Duke at Lakeview
January 8, 1893 and they
moved to a ranch in the Crane
Creek area. Six children were
born, Lera, now Mrs. C. F. Snider
of Lakeview; Essie. Mrs. William
W. Besson, South Egremont, Mas
sachusetts: Ross E. Duke, Lake-
view; Mildred, Mrs. John Arzner,
Medford; Mary, Mrs. Victor G.
Ilahncr, Lakeview and James P.
Duke, Grants Pass.
In 1920, Duke leased the ranch
and bought the Charles Umbach
property at F and Fourth streets
North in Lakeview. There he ran
a livery stable until poor health
forced his retirement. He died on
October 29, 1933.

Mrs. Duke served as a practical
nurse in the health sanatorium of
the late Dr. II. E. Kelty in
what is now Hunter's Lodge, and
at the Lakeview Hospital. Even
while working and raising a fam
ily, she found time to play cards
one of her favorite pastimes, and
to visit with friends. In recent
years she has spent the winter
months in Medford with her daugh
ter and son-in-law and summer at
the Victor Hahner home here.

taken advantage of the Chevy Summer Safari have proclaimed it "the best deal yet."
