spoke directly on the work in hand.
At the close of the service two
young men were enlisted in the
team work. After the sermon by
Dr. Boyers, the matter of raising
the money to clear the slate of all
Indebtedness and raising enough to
paint the church and pay for the
basement was taken up. More than
four hundred and fifty dollars were
raised at the morning service. At

"a Modern Eve"

Theatrical history in Chicago two
seasons ago shows that there was but
one distinct success, and that an un-
qualified triumph. "A Modern Eve" /"
which was given it's initial presenta-
tion at the Garrick Theatre in Chi
cago that season, apparently concen-
trated the attention of the theatre
goer upon its engagement to such an
extent that other offerings that might
at any other time have attracted the
attention of the public gave up in dis
gust and left the field to their phe-
nomenally popular rival. While "A
Modern Eve" was enjoying prosper
ity which has broken all records in
the Illinois metropolis, "The Only
Son." THE Pink Lady" Elsie Panis
in "The Slim Princess" Louisiana
Lou" and the Quaker Girl" with
drew from Chicago. "The Quaker
Girl" which had run an entire sea-
son in New York city, came to Chi
cago with the same brilliant cast seer
on Broadway, the organization mum
bering one hundred and two people
prepared for a summer run, but as
counter attraction to "a Modern
Eve" they found that playgoer'
would not divide their attentions, sc
that four weeks after their opening
they returned to New York, leaving

Mr. Rockfellow mined in siskiyou

Mr.. Rockfellow mined in Siskiyou
county, California, for time, but was
among the first group who estab-
lished homes in the upper Rogue
River Valley. This was in the year
1852, on Wagner creek near the pres
ent town of Talent. In 1852 Mr..
Rockfellow became a resident of the
then village Of Ashland and was asso-
ciated in business here with some of
the earliest factors in it's subsequent
growth and development. He removed
with his family to San Diego, Califor-
mia, in 1888, where he made his home
until 1904. Returning to Ashland, he
was content to spend his remaining
years amidst the old familiar scenes
and amongst the friends of days gone
by. He was a soldier of the Rogue
River Indian War of 1855 and saw
active service in the campaigns of
those years to break the power of the
red man over this country.
Mr.. Rockfellow was a man of gen.
tie and kindly disposition and one in
whose mind it is doubtful il thoughts
of wrongdoing ever entered. He was
of a poetic temperament and pos.
sessed native literary ability. Fol
many years he INDUCED his fancies in
both prose and poetry, and the files
of the Ashland papers will reveal MOI
few of his writings. He also assist
ed in compiling the first volume o.
Southern Oregon history ever pub
lished and was active in the work o
the Pioneer Society of Southern Ore
gon, of which he was one of the frs
members.
Mr.. Rockfellow was married in thi
} county March twelfth, 1856, to Saral

that name. She died at San Diego,
California, January tive tysi tn, 1904
at the age of s:xtyeight years. Seven
children were born to them, five Of
whom died in infancy. Eugene F.,
the elder son, died less than two
years ago, leaving two sons and two
grandsons. One son only of the de-
ceased pioneer survives, w. Alfred
Rockfellow, a travelling salesman,
who dutifully cared for his aged par
ent and attended him in his last ill
ness.
Mr.. Rockfellow was an active
worker in all good causes, notably
along educational and religious lines
and was a leader in the work of the
Methodist church in this city fol-
many years. From this church his
funeral took place Wednesday after
noon, March thirty-first, where the
services in his memory were conduct

Petition PeddleTS
to Be No More

Petition peddlers are liable to be
relegated to the great army of the
unemployed and another choice fea-
ture of the Oregon System shattered
to bits by a new law which allows
different method for a candidate to
place his name on the primary ballot
than by the old method of petition.
1t is believed by the fathers of this
act that one of the greatest evils of
the primary system will be largely
obviated and the perennial pest of the
primary petition peddler will succumb
to the gentle spray pump of the legs-
lature.
Under the new law filing fee can
be sent to the secretary of state in
lieu of petition and upon the filing
of such fee that official shall place
the name of the candidate on the-bal-
lot. 1t is estimated that the expenses
for the filing fee will not be greater,
and in many instances less, than the
expenses for the shooting of petitions.
In addition, the even tenor of the
respectable citizens way will not be
molested.
The rates for filing under the act
are as follows; United States SEN
ator, $3.50; all of state officers ex-
cept national committeeman, dele
gates to party national convent ons
and presidential electors, 800; Yep
resentatives in congress, 500; all
candidates for district offices except
senators and representatives in the
legislature, $50; county officers, ex-
cept those within county, $40; ma
tional committeeman, delegates to ma
tional party conventions and presiden-
tial electors, SIS; senators and repre-
sentatives in the legislature, $40, and
all district officers within counties,
S.. Candidates for the office of pre-
cinct committeeman can file without
expense.
The new plan does not do away
with the old law providing that petit
tions can be circulated, but on the
contrary either of the plans is option
al. 1t is asserted by those who faith
cred the act that the new plan will
entirely supersede the old one, how
ever, inasmuch as it is believed that
the sending of the filing fee will be
preferred by the candidates.
