In 1S4G they moved to Iowa, and In 1890 to Den ver, Colo., and In about seventeen years returned to Iowa, locating at Lohrvlllo. To them were bom two sons and f one daughter ono son, W. J. Gillam of Lohrvlllo, la., and Mrs. W. S. Hammond of this city, together with three sisters and three brothers, sur vlvo her. Her husband preceded her a lit tlo over a year ago to tho beautiful beyond. Mrs. Gillam came to Med ford last March and after three months visit went to Los Angeles, Cal., and from there last fall to Idaho, making all theso trips by her self. Sho was taken sick in Idaho and was brought to this city by her granddaughter, Mrs. Vail, arriving hero January 6, 1912. Sho contin ued to grow weaker until the end.

THE AUTOMOBILE, BORN of the spirit of the horses of old Pharaoh bo quickened at a touch until it springs across tho earth lightning's sueed. the automobile now takes its place nt 1 .," . 1 . ' i rt as tne nuniuie servant ol manivinu. jlu is a sviuimuu.v ui wood and metal. Combustion's strength is married in it to the flight of light itself. The poetry of motion is its own, and every curve and feature breathes with the pulse of distance lessened. Responsive as the gentlest steed, patient as the stile, certain as the tides and swifter than the stag, this modern mechanism of service will stand a fitting climax of transportation for a hundred years to come. Motoring is something more than a fad. It is a mental condition produced by experiencing an undreamt sensa tion. It is a sort of disease, incurable, harmless and pro gressive caused by a germ of delight. It is a new world opened up to view at a time when the old world was begin ning to pall. He has not discovered all of his faculties of delight who has not motored. There is still within him, dormant, a million nerve centers yet to be made to thrill with life and love if he has not sped over city street and country road in an automobile. It is the safest, sanest pleasure that has been invented since first some daring savage hollowed out a log and rode upon the current of a rippling stream. It is the most economical mode of locomotion that has been devised since man first tied patient oxen and made them drag his burdens. It is as healthful as the sun and air. For luxuriousness and ease and comfort the motor car is incomparable. A ride upon the wings of night could be no more enchanting. Onlv the fur-clad native of the frozen north, skiing down the mountain side like a flash of light across the glisten ing snow can approximate the joy of him who sees mile after mile of space torn off and hurled into the teeth of the past as he speeds his car across the country. Only the roaming gods of space can appreciate the soothing com fort that comes to him who holds within his hand the strength of forty horses and the speed of a flight of swal lows. Prom a toy or plavthing the automobile has stepped into the garb of servant to the race. It has broadened from improving the public highway to the refashioning of a timepiece. Being herself a product ot the best there is in modern civilization it was natural that Medford would be the leading city in the United States in the ownership of these sjiacc annihilators. Per capita Medford owns more machines hp.n any other city, says the census report. In no other city are there more progressive automobile dealers and agents. The business has grown until no dealer can hope to corner it. The selection of a car has come to be a matter largely of personal taste or personal acquaintance with the dealer. There arc no gold bricks sold in the shape of an automobile. Thousands of feet of floor space in showrooms are de voted to the distribution of motors in this city. The cap ital required is a guarantee of the solidity of the business. Aggressive men are handling the trade. Competent "help" is employed. The selling cost has been reduced to a minimum. Medford takes her place at the head of the list. Marvel of the ages ! Perfection of human skill ! Taking the dusty highways as the eaglets take the air; winding its way to the top of the steepest hill or dashing across the sandiest plain; a gleam of motion and a glow of graceful curves a restful recreation or a toiling beast of burden the automobile is enshrined in the hearts of knowing men and women the gift of genius to the child of thrift.
