DR.. Marsden Dead.

MEhe hNAAAh 9N1sA aNSNANss
The death Of DIR. w. l.. Mars
den, which occurred at Whittier,
California, on last Saturday night
March |, has caused universal
sorrow throughout Harney coun-
ty where he had lived for over n
quarter of a century. During
his long residence here where he
praeticed his profession he be-
came known to almost every man,
woman and child in not only
Harney county but portions Of
Crook, Grant and Malheur coun-
ties. 1t was not alone in his pro-
fessional skill that endeared him
self to hundreds of people, but as
q man he commanded the high
respect and regard of all with
whom he came in contact. He
was ever ready to make any sac
rifice for the relief of suffering
or for the benefit of his neigh
bors and friends in whatever
capacity he was called upon as
a citizen or otherwise. DR..
Marsden endured many hardsLips
during his career in the discharge
of his duties in the big field of
his practice, without any regard
for his own comfort or health.
He gave his life to his work and
the exposure and sacrifices he
endured are no doubt to n great
extent responsible for his untimo-
ly death.
During a long period Of inti-
mate association socially, frater-
nally and in business the writer
has had an opportunity to learn
DR.. Marsden's worth as a man
in every respect. He knows the
esteem in which DR.. Marsden
was held by hundreds of fellow
citizens; knows the high charac-
ter of the man. his devotion to
his profession for the sake of
humanity rather that from mer-
cenary motives: Of his unseltish
work in this field covering n per-
iod of over 25 years: knowing
him thus and feeling keenly the
loss of a most companionable
friend with whom it was a de-
light to converse, advise and
associate, he fully realizes the
genuine grief of hundreds of
others who held him in like es-
TEEN. DR.. Marsden will be miss
ed in more homes in Eastern
Oregon than any other man who
ever lived.
DR.. Marsden became i'll last
year and had a very severe sick
ness lasting for sometime but re-
covered sufficiently to be out
again. In June last year he and
Mrs. Marsden went to Portland
and spent several weeks there
attending the Masonic grand
bodies which were in session,
prolonging their visit to the Rose
Festival with congenial compan-
ions and friends of this place
wha were also there. Later they
went to Eugene for short time
where their son George was at
the university and then
on to Whittier, California, the
home Of DIR. Marsden's mother.
In August he had a severe attack
of pneumonia following this re-
peated assesses formed on his |
lungs and his weakened condi-
ton prevented his recovery from
this. Had he been in robust |
health no doubt he could have !
finally overcome these but his |
was so sapped that he
finally succumed.

Walter LeForest Marsden was
born in Iowa June 20, 1868. The
family came west when he was
quite young and his early life
was spent in Nevada and Cali
fornia. In the Centennial His
tory of Oregon, published last
year we find the followin biogra-
phical sketch which is reprinted;
DR.. Marsden received his early
education in various mining
camps in California and Nevada.
His schooling was limited and
was received under very primi-
tive conditions. His early life
was spent in various occupations.
He learned the telegraph busi-
ness and was operator for the
Overland Company which owned
the first telegraph line across the
continent. In this capacity he
made his home at various points
between Virginia City, Nevada
and Salt Lake City, Utah. For
two years he was manager Of
the Atlantic and Pacific Line,
competitors Of the Overland Com
pany. In 1882 he took up news.
paper work and his activities in
this regard made him very pro-
minent politically and led to his
election to the Nevada state leg
islature. After his term expired
he became acquainted with DR.,
Bishop and was employed under
him for some tim e in I h @
state insane asylum. He grew
interested in the science of medi-
cine and attended the lectures in
the California Medical College.
He later studied his profession in
the Kentucky School of Medicine,
from which he was graduated
with the degree of M ID. He
started practing in Bellevue,
Idaho, where he remained until
1887 when he removed TO Drew
sey, Oregon, later moving to
Burns where he has made his
home since that time.

REAL GARDEN is NECESSITY
Demand for FIrst-cIass Vegetables 10
Almost Everywhere Unsatisfied
In Southern States.

Almost every farm has some sort of
garden, but the great majority
have been regarded in q careless way
and given but little attention, and as
consequence have never yielded
anything to compare with a we'll
made garden. The trucking and mar
ket garden industry, while 1t has been
great thing in some sections, 1t as
yet poorly developed in most Of the
south, although the demand for first
class vegetables is almost everywhere
unsatisf1ed.
With the proper understanding OF
the possibilities of home gardening
in adding to the pleasures of farm
life, and the profits to be made from
market gardening. the South will no
doubt become noted as a land Of gar
dens. The time has come for the real
garden to set aside the old makeshift
garden, which was in summer a little
patch of beans and roasting ears. and
in the fall afforded few collards and
turnips. The reol garden will be a
well-cared for plat of land. where can
be and where will be grown variety
af vegetables through a long season.

STRIVE FOR GREATER TEXAS
Boys and Girls Clubs Formed for Pur-
pose Of Interesting Youths In
Agricultural Work.

tBy H. H. WILLIAMS. Assistant State
Agent in Charge of Club Work.)
The purpose of the boys and girls
club work of Texas, which embraces
what is sometimes known locally as
boys corn. cotton, milo and girls can
ming clubs, ETC., is to interest and as
sist boys and girls in the study of
live stock raising. agriculture. home
economics, ETC., and thus benefit them
In their preparation for life's work.
The work is strictly educational. and
the purpose of an educational work
should be to teach the boys and girls
to be home builders. No nation has
ever achieved permanent greatnesA un-
less its greatness was based upon the
substantial citizen. Club work among
men and women of all classes has
been a potential factor in the develop
ment of civilization and is proving no
less effective in promoting the agricul-
tural and intellectual education Of the
youth. The short history of club work
in this state is sufficient demonstra-
ton to show what can be accom-
plished in increasing the productive
ness Of Texas. One of the purposes
is to teach the boys and girls to pro-
duce greater crop at less expense,
and at the same time maintain or in
crease the fertility of the SOIL
This work of our Texas youths has
a beneficial influence on the social life
of the farm. The great men and
women of our nation are constantly
discussing why boys and girls leave
the farm and are agitating the back
to the farm movement. 1t is the con-
sensus of opinion that there will be a
continued preference of farm boys
and girls for the city until rural edu-
cation and social life on the farm are
revolutionized. How may this be &C.
complished. There are many methods
by which great results can be attained
to this end. Perhaps the greatest re-
suits can be accomplished through the
cooperative work of the boys and
girls. The boys and girls club work
teaches the fundamental principles OF
better farming by bringing them In
direct contact with the process of pro
duction. The watch word is learn to
do by doing. OF no less Importance
is the fact that it gives them inspira-
ton and love for the soil and farm
life and tends to dignity labor by the
demonstration that there Is honor as
well as profit in properly applied
labor.

SHARING WITH HIRED HELP
Farmer Would Find II Profitable to Re-
ward Generously Results Of Little
Cooperation.

One of the evolutions In modern
business methods Ia the installation OF
the so-called pront-sharing plan OF dis
tributinK q share Of the proflts OF a
business among the employees who
have helped to make those profits. A
large number of the largest business
institutions in the country have In
augurated this highly commendabie
plan of giving the laborer his due re-
ward for faithful service. The busi-
ness man reaps his reward by being
able to secure more emcient and con-
scientious service from employees. The
scheme simply injects little person
ality and human sentiment into sordid
business affairs and makes a man a
little less of machine. d..
The suggestion has been made that
the prof1t-sharing idea might profit
ably be extended to the farm and this
appears to US to be good suggestion,
says the Farm and Home. For in.
stance, If your hired man gives to you
unusually good service and is willing
to do .nore than the fair thing by you.
why can you not stimulate this spirit
by promising In advance cash bonus
or a share of the proceeds of the crop
In return for this aid? Extend this
plan to the boys. Would 1t not pay
you to reward generously the results
of little cooperation? Set a reason
able mark for the yield of your corn
field or the output OF the dairy barn.
To the boy or man who can increase
the average, offer a share Of such in
crease. This is only one Of many
ways in which you can apply this
profit-sharing idea. II you keep books,
and you should do this, 1t is easy to
figure out such a scheme.
The farmer is capitalist and a
business man in certain sense. The
soil is his capital. He accumulated
this capital partly by hard work and
partly because Providence permitted
him to live in country and in day
when he could by thrift acquire such
capital. But the farmer owes GER
tain debt to his cQ-laborers whose
only capital is labor. Give these CO.
laborers a square deal. The profit
sharing plan affords this opportunity
and it costs nothing because it gives
you greater efficiency. Give the good
wife. the boys and girls. and the hired
man. all of whom help you to make a
success of farming. their share of the
results of their labor.
