Local History Re called by Visitor An interesting bit of local history Is recalled by h. T. McClallen, who js v.smug here from Marshfteld. This is In connection with the old-tltme Marks building, which was recently le-occupled fur buslumj purposes. In the pioneer days all taxes were paid in cash (gold or silvnr) as well as payments in business transactions. Ukewuie the state taxes were paid lu cola, which had to be transported to Salem, as banks were extremely scarce. Mr. McClallen recallB the Instance when John Orth waa treasurer of Jackson county and came . here by stage with that county's quota ef stale tax, being several thousand dollars in coin. There being no bank here at that time be placed the money In the Marks safe over night. Next morning the deposit was miss ing, the safe having been burglarized during the hours of darkness. There were a number of Chlnameu in Rose burg at that time and suspicion pointed to the Celestials as the guilty parties. These wore rounded up and questioned, but all firmly assert ed their Innocense. Finally one Chinaman who was believed to havo full knowledge of tho robberey was taken In band and hurried to within the high enclosure around the barn norih of tho McClallen hotel. A noose was placed uround his neck and the end thrown over a projecting pole or timber. He was drawn clear of the ground for a .minute or two hut when let down still protested that he "no sabbe" In regard to the robber". The process was repeated with silll longer periods of suspen sion. With returning breath he still Insisted that he "no sabbe." Fullv convinced that he was Ivinc the crowd hauled him up again and kept him there until his tongue protruded In fact he was so long In reviving mat tne party had about concluded that they had finished the job bo far as that Chinaman was concerned. However, he was finally revived and he then manifested a willingness to tell what he knew. He guided the party to a secluded spot between tha Deer creek trestle and the big rail way cut below town and showed them where the loot was burled. The entire sum was recovered and the wily Chinese were given terms in the state prison. Quick Justice was meted out. in those days, no matter whether the perpetrators were while or yellow nor was time always taken to appeal to the courts. Merchants to Fight H. C. L.

May 30th; Up to three years ago. Memorial day had deteriorated from the con secration of its origin Into little more than a day off. To most peo ple certainly 'to most of us of the younger generation It stood prin cipally for a morning ar.d an after noon game instead ot tbe customary single performance. In 193 7 a change began to bo noted. Over the thirtieth of May brooded an air of suspense of fore boding, for America had embarked on the high emprise of war, and none might say how much blood would be shed before the anniver sary came again. Nineteen eighteen saw the spirit Intensified; close at iiand came the real days of our or deal by fire on the heels of Chateau Thierry, and last year the full toll of a hundred thousand ' lives had been taken. -r The army of 1918 is home now. ready and willing to bestow on tts departed comrades whatever meed nf devotion is fitting and proper. For some of us this Memorial day of 1920 will hold a sacredness that no anniversary that has gono before could hope to hold. For othars It will be just another holiday an other day off. What rule Bhall we follow? How shall we act? What sort o fconduct will pnople expect of us of us who fought beside this gold-starred legion, of the hundred thousand? ' It is a question for everyone ot us to answer individually. We cannot look to the veterans of tho civil war for a close parallel. For their dead lay In home cemeteries, close at hand, and ours lie scattered in thrm continents. Here at home we cannot stand beside the resting place ot a comrade who was killed In action. We know, of course,, what every man among the thirty thousand In Romagnewoul d say if he could speak to us. "What? Go around looking mopey on my account? Say, buddy, you just run out into the sand lots and have a good time." For once, it would be well for U4 to disregard that unexpressed order. Memorial day is not all for the dead! It Is tho day on which we revolve in our hearts not so much the thought of them, but of what they died for. And what they died for is what wo live for.
