Robison wears her first orchid, a gift from her family on her 85th birthday February 22, 1949. Mrs. Julia E. Robison, one of the earliest settlers of the Delta coun-try, is truly one of Utah's pioneers. Her entire life, which now numbers 85 years, has been lived in pion-eering. She was born Feb. 22,1864 in Washington county, a daughter of Allen and Phoebe Anna Roberts Taylor. Her mother crossed the plains by ox team in 1850, at the age of 7 years. Her father was captain of the second largest com-pany of pioneers that came over. His loyalty was commened by Brig-ha- Young, who entrusted him with the tithing money of the se-cond company. He carried it across the plains strapped to his back. He was bishop of Kaysville for 17 years, and then was called to Wash ington county to pioneer, in 1862. As a girl of 8 Mrs. Robison re-members the visit of Brigham Young at their home, an event that stands out vividly in her mem ories. Her memory has always been particularly keen, and she recalls many things of interest in her life, both joyful and sorrowful. Her life story, written for the Daughters of Utah Pioneers, tells them in detail. She had no formal schooling, but was taught by her parents. When she was 9 years old, a wo-man teacher was appointed, and the little Julia cried because she couldn't attend. But by that time she had started working in the cot-ton factory, where she earned $3 a week, for sweeping and learning to spool. At 12 years, she was ad-vanced to the spinning wheel and earned $6 a week. When she was 15 years old she wove cloth, and was paid $8 a week. And her days were happy ones, both at work, and hours after work, and holidays. She married William N. Searle Sept. 15,1880 in the St. George Temple and the young couple pion-eered a home in Wayne county, then called Rabbit valley, after a short period in Clover Valley, Ne vada. Their children were Del Searle, Allen Searle, Virgie Brod-eric- k and Sarah Jane Shiner. The ' father died when the children were all small, the baby two months old and the wife was left to care for them. April 14,1892 she was married to John Hector Peterson, in the Manti Temple. Soon after their marriage he was called on a mission to Sweden for three years, , and his wife cared for her children and two of his by a former marriage. One of them was Emery E. Peter-son, also an early' Deltan. After his return their children, John Lyman, Julia May and Lavell were born. Lavell died at the age of 20 months. It was in 1906 that the family moved to Delta, then called Aiken, from the railroad switch. They homesteaded 160 acres of land, pitched their tents, and once more began to pioneer. When the dams were being built, Mrs. Peterson cooked for the crew of workmen, cooking and serving meals in a large tent. In 1908 another son was born, Lloyd, the first baby boy born in Delta. The years went by, and pioneer-ing was ending, the country was settled and flourishing. The family home was on their farm on the South Tract, until Mr. Peterson died in 1930. Several years ago she mar-ried Quint Robison, and they make their home in Delta. In addition ot her service as a wife and mother, Mrs. Robison was always active in church work, es-pecially the Relief Society, as offi-cer and teacher. Seven children of her family of ten are living: Del Searle, Virgie Broderick, John L., Lloyd, and Mae Fullmer of Delta; Allen Searle, California, and Stella Peterson, Provo. She has 46 grand-children, 60 and 3 Forty members of the family were home for her birthday party last week. v llhicltlcy Bents Millard in Overtime Flay The game started out very fast with Roger Olpin of Millard scoring with a beautiful hook shot with less than one minute gone. Then Roger made a foul shot. Petersen added a field goal to send the Mustangs ahead by 1 points. From then on out the game was very even with the first quarter score 11-- 9 with the Mustangs holding fir-mly to a two point lead. The second quarter started out very fast with the Mustangs scor-ing first and the McBride added a two pointer and then the Mus-tangs went ahead with a field goal by Love. Late in the second quarter Munson. of Milard was retired from the game with personal fouls. The second quarter ended with the Mustangs still out. in front by one point. The score 22-2- 3 at half time. The third quarter started out with a very fast style of ball being played. This quarter went through with the Mustangs managing to keep ahead of the Millard team and ending the quarter with a score of 36-3- 2 for the Mustangs. The fourth quarter started out with both teams trying with all their might to win this ball game. With Millard trailing by a score of 34-3- McKee of Millard got two foul shots and set Millard ahead 36-3- Then Eldon Cahoon tanked A .. Tt- - a tWO pOiniei to yUL lii muawji&a ahead. Then McKee repeated what h,e did earlier in the fourth quarter and again sent Millard ahead 37-3- 8 Millard received a severe knock when Roger Opin left the game with four finutes to play on per-sonal fouls. Later McKee left the game on fouls also. This game, or I should say the fourth quarter ended with a score of 43-4- The extra period started out with Love fouling Lyman and Lyman put the Mustangs ahead, then Mil-lard fouled and Peterson put the game all tied up 44-4- Wade of Milard added a field goal and put the Eagles ahead 46-4- With only a few seconds remaining Warren Peterson sank one from the cen-ter of the floor to tie the game up. It sure looked like another over time but Peterson took the ball away from Millard and shot but Eldoh recovered and put in the win ning basket just as the final buzzer rang. So this game goes on record as Hinckley leading 46-4- Warren Petersen played a sensat-ional game and collected a total of 20 points to set the pace for the game. Dale Love and Roger Olpin each got a total of 12 points. Eldon Cahoon played a whale of a floor game and collected 9 points. Delta F. F. A.

Our West Millard Red Cross chap-ter chairman, Mrs. Sepha Robison, asked each of us to write a para-graph about what our department is doing for local projects, as a part of each Red Cross dolior is retained for use by the local chap-ter. Certificates are mailed today to persons having completed the home nursing course under Mrs. Shirley DeLapp at Sugarville and Mrs. Luella Western at Deseret. A goodly number who were unable to attend all of he classes will re-ceive the benefits. Miss Wixom, in Oak City, is con-ducting an interesting class, and the Sutherland class, under Mrs. Maxine Owens, will complete their course during the summer months. Two more classes are arranged for when conditions permit. Thus far we have been able to reach approximately 50 women and with a continued program should be able to reach more. These instructor nurses are al-lowed a small fee to cover part of their mileage. We use our budget to take care of this and other ex-penses, such as supplies. We have purchased a life-siz- e rubber doll and had constructed large demonstration thermometers-an-other equipment for class use. Without exception those that take these classes express them-selves as being much benefitted. Nurses and doctors say it helps out materially in home care of the sick. That's where a part of your Red Cross funds go for our local pur-poses. Josie Walker, chairman ARC Home Nursing Service. On a recent visit to the West Millard chapter, Miss Elsie Davies and Mrs. Agunis, ARC field repre-sentatives, commended the work done through Home Nursing Ser-vice, and stated it was one of the best in the Pacific area.

Mining in Beaver County (Editor's Note: This is the third of a series of seven urticles on the hiBtory and revival of the San Francisco Mining re-gion. Beaver Count, Utah.) . While much of the detail regard-ing early history of the financing of the Horn Silver mine has been lost, it is believed that Jay Cooke, early financial wizard and rail-- , road builder, who was ruined in the panic of 1873, regained much of his fortune in Beaver County. For a three quarter interest, he is understood to have agreed to raise $5,000,000 for development and equipment of the Horn Silver. His equipment included a smelter and he was instrumental in having the railroad extended 176 miles to the mine. This was during the early seven-ties and Beaver County was teem-ing with mining activity. Numer- - ous other properties became active and the town bf Frisco, near , boasted a population of 4,00C persons. , As a result of this ac-- ' tivity one of the West's first tele-graph line was built from Sail. Lake City to Milford and ovei the mountain range to the rising! mining camp of Pioche, Nevada Cooks operated the Horn Silvei until 1879 when he organized ai $10,000,000 corporation and sold his interest to Charles G. Franklin of the Cunard Steamship lines and s, Frank G. Brown, netting hire enough to pay his debts and regair. his lost prestiege in the industria. ' and financial world. The price paic to Cooke is not known, but is re-puted to. have been well in excess of $1,000,000. The fourth articlt in this series will appear soon ir these columns.
