JUDGE CRQWELL
AT FRIEND'S BIER
J. D. Whitman, one of the pioneer
residents of Med ford, died Wednes
day at Lost River Clap, In Klamath
county.
No particulars are obtalnrble
more than that W. 1. Vawter of this
city received a telephone niesaage
from a Mr. Grlgsby, living In that
. locality, telling of Mr. Whitman's
death and that the remains woulc
arrive In Medford Saturday.
Mr. Whitman was one of the early
day orchardlsts of the valley, he hav
tng put otit the orchard just south .if
Medford, which orchard la now sub
divided into residence property and
la known as "Whitman Park." Mr.
Whitman retired from horticultural
pursuits several years ago and has
lived, most of the time, on a small
place about a mile south of MudEord.
For the last year he and I1I3 wife
have been living on a farm they
owned on Lost river. In Kla:m.tA
county. 9. .. -

Nearly ten years ago Judge W. 3.
Cronetl spoko at the funeral serv
ices of J. II. Whitman, who had been
a well-known .lawyer of Mettord,
and after the services were over the
father, J. U. Whitman, approached
Judge Crowell and told him that if
he survived he wanted him to speak
at the funeral services.
Sunday afternoon at the M. K.
church In this city Judge Crowell
carried out the promise made, and
he did It In such a manner as to have
the words go straight to the beans
of the listeners present, who wore
there to pay their last respects to
one who was honored and respected
by all who knew him. The following
was Judge Crowell's address:
Medford, Or., Dec. 20, 1908.
My Friends: We are In the ante
chamber of a Divine mystery. We
stand before the gates of silence
which, ever opening, opening, open
ing, never open outwardly. Before
these gates ajar we find the omega
of mortality, the alpha of immortal
ity. An ending and a beginning, and
aa the spiritual man passes the gates
of silence we exclaim, "It is finished,
mortality la ended" and as through
the gates ajar we catch a gleam of
the promised glories which lie be
yond, we cry in gladness: "It Is he
gun the glorious Immortality
which has no ending." The feelings
with which men approach the gates
of silence and the moment for enter
ing therein, are almost as numerous
aa the number who enter there.
Here, if never before, man must lay
aside all his hypocrisies, all his
ahams, his sins, his lusts and
shames; his triumphs, his virtues,
his loves and hates, his weaknesa or
bis power, and as a little child, new
born In the glorious morning of im
mortality, man stands unclad spirit
ually before his divine father, with
no justification for himself but God's
Infinite and omnipotent love. Here
each must answer for himself, "As
we have sown, so -shall we reap."
Query: How have we sown? What
have we sown? Now, how welcome
fa the blessed ord: God desires not
the death of any, but father that all
ahould have everlasting life.
The moment for reflection is here.
Will you reflect? O, sons and daugh
ters of God, let us take all our weak
nesses and our errors, and this day
lay them down at the feet of divine
love, who stands waiting to welcome
and to save.
Knew Him Eighteen Years.
For eighteen years I have known
John D. Whitman. Of his prior life
I personally know nothing. But,
looking backward down the vista of
the 84 years of his mortal life, I ven
ture the statement that his young
manhood began with his keeping of
the first commandment with prom
ise: "Honor thy father and thy moth
er and thy days shall be long In the
land." The day of his mortal life
have been long In the land, 14 years
longer have they been, than the
Psalmist's allotted three-score years
and ten.
And again we see spread before
us the further promise: "Those that
wait upon the Lord shall renew
their strength, they shall run and
not be weary, they shall walk and
not faint." And God did rene wthe
strength and vigor of this grand old
man, through all the four and eighty
years of his earthly life, down to the
very days of his departure keeping
htm vlgoroua In body and mind until
the very last.
Thus are all the blessed promises
of God fulfilled. In all the years
that I knew John D. Whitman, I
ever knew of hla doing or being
charged with doing a dishonorable
act. He lived a life of true nobility,
of oulet and unostentatious Integrity
and worth, and he reared his sons to
follow In his footsteps. While gen
tle and kind to all, he was quickly
Indignant at any unjust or dishon
orable act.
I think of him as a cltlicn of
heaven, because I remember the
promise tn those who live rightly
and do rightly: "The kingdom rf
heaven Is within yon." "Ye are the
temple of the living God and the
aplrlt of God dwelleth tn yon."
"Dare not to defile the temple rf
Ood, which temple ye are."
John D. Whitman did not defile
the temple of God, but he ran his
wee In purity and truth. In honor
sad Integrity. I know not what bis
tellglous convictions may have been,
mt I feel confident that because ha
.talked nigh to God be was blessed
with prolonged years, with strength
to bear all hla crosses and bis trials,
and with vigor of body and mind un
til the time of his departure came.
Was a Noble Man.
No man ever lived who did not be
lieve In a aupreme power or belni;.
So I assume that the departed be
lieved In a aupreme being. And
there Is a supreme being who loved
the departed aa one of the creation
of Hla hands; and all the creations
of God are good, and John D. Whit
man as one of those creations wax
good. And the supreme being whom
be regarded. Him I declare unto you
thla day, and repeat the old, old, but
ever new story of divine love. Whose
word of Inspiration tells us "That
God is a spirit and those who wor
ship him In spirit and in truth, for
such worship the Father seekctli."
Man Is made in the image an
likeness of God, and as God Is a
r-plrlt, man, Ills likeness, must lie
spiritual also. God has lifo overla.;'.
'r.g, and ninn as Ills Image must also
reflect Immortality, (iod Is good,
and henre It Is right and consistent
that man should he bidden, "lio ye
perfect, even as your Father ii,
heavcU la perfect."
God has not made man a fallen
and reprobate thing. When man
falls, he fulls In defiance of Gud's
wishes, and as the result of his In
dulgence of the lusts of bis own mor
tal mind. Our life is a reflection rf
the divine lire, God's lite. In whom
we live and move and have our be
ing. God's life and man's life, as Its
likeness, both are spiritual..
And now I Invite you to "draw
nigh to God and God will draw nlgn
to you." I wait with ydu for the
coming of that spiritual nearness, for
the words which follow are golden:
"He who loveth not, knoweth not
God, for God Is love." "If ye love
me ye will keep my sayings, then
my Father will love you, and we will
come and make our abode with you."
And now remember and forget not,
that "there Is no fear In love (you
do not have to be a daily trembler
before your God). "There is no fear
In love; perfect love castetb out fear,
for fear la torment. He who tearetn
hat not become perfect In love."
Have No Fear.
The blessed Father does not want
you to be tormented with fears:
fears by day, fears by night; fears of
want, tears of foes, fears of sickness.
fears of death or any kind of fears
whatswtcr. Thla He tells you In
the.d words: "God has not given yo.i
the spirit of fear, but He has given
yon the spirit of power, of love and
of a sound mind." Again, "Be not
afraid, for I will never leave thee or
forsake thee." Again, "For I, the
Lord, thy God, will hold thy right
hand, saying unto thee, 'Fear not, I
will help thee.' " Again: "Even to
your old age and your hoary hairs,
I will carry and will deliver you."
So backed and sustained by these
unfailing promises, banish all your
fears and In faith exercise the powers
which God has given you, and you
will have dominion over the things
of earth, including your own bodies,
sin, sickness and death. "For the
last enemy that shall be conquered
Is death."
And here. In the presence of what
men call death, let me remind you.
That the Lord Is exceedingly piti
ful and of tender mercy." That He
la ever around and about us, omni
present, omnipotent. Infinite life and
love. He comes today and gives us
these gracious assurances: "Neither
life nor death, nor things present
nor things to come, nor height nor
depth, nor any other creature, can
separate you from the love of God."
So we learn that the change t! a men
call death does not separate v. from
Gcd'a love. Neither do things to
come separate ns from His love. So
we have the Divine Father's loving
word, that In the world where John
D. Whitman now Is, he Is not sepa
rated from God'a loving care.
Draw nigh to God this day and He
will draw nigh to you. And without,
feir, remember that God ta truth
and God la love, and He cornea to ur?
today and tells us that John D. Whit
man Is not dead, for God Is not the
God of the dead, but of the living,
and that the departed now la n:
beyond His love and mercy. Neither
life nor death, nor things present nor
things to come have separated the
departed from the love of God.
John D. Whitman has passed from
things present, he has reached "the
things to come" but God bids me
say to you, that the place and the
things whereunto he haa come have
not sepnrated him from divine love;
and though he has passed the door
which men call death, that not even
that haa separated him from our
Father's loving care and tender
mercy. ,
Way to Immortal Life.
If you wtll study the Book of
Books aright; If you will not shut
oiir eyes to light and life, nor close
your ears to love and truth, hut open
your mind and heart to the reality
of God's tender mercy and all-embracing
love, then John I). Whit
man's place of sepincher will bring
no ahadowa for you today but in
stead It will b glorious In the light
and lite and love of God, the Father
the bright and sunlit way to Im
mortal life, where the children of
God cease their earthly wanderings
and return tn joy and peace to their
Father's house, not made with hands,
eternal In the heavens. Hear thin
and fear not, but believe:
"Whosoever llveth and bellevcth
in me shall never die."
"If t man keep my sayings he
shall never ace death," ,
"Christ has abolished death and
brought life and immortality to
light."
Hence, 1 say to you, mourn not for
John D. Whitman, for he Is not dead.
At our Father's call he has moved
out of hla bouse of clay and gone
to live In the house not made with
hands, eternal In the heavens. His
lire, like yours and mine, is a part,
a reflection of God's life; both are
Immortal, both are eternal. When
you and each of you can grasp this
glorious reality It will bring you
earthly life and Immortal aplrlt, In
to touch and communion with the
divine life and spirit, God. It will
enable you to shut the door on
death (aa I close It today for John
D. Whitman), and open wide the
doors of Immortality. So that we
shall be In truth what the divine
Father's love Is calling for us to be
the children of God.
Knten'd Into Ktcnial Life.
And so at the end of earth we
come to the gates of silence, where
this corruption has put on lncorrun
tlon, and this mortal has put on im
mortality and today is brought to
pass the saying that Is written:
"Death is swallowed up In victory."
Knock and It shall be opened unto
you. O gates of silence, for John D.
Whitman has entered Into eternal
life.
"For we all, with open face, be
holding as In a glass the glory of
the Lord, are changed Into the same
Image, from glory to glory, even by
the spirit of the Lord." For "Chrht
has abolished death and brought life
and Immortality to light.
The sting of death (that Is, life
moving out of Its house of clay) is
sin. And he who banlshea Bin with
the Father's aid banishes death with
the Father's love. For Christ Is
"the way, the truth and the life."
For the departed. God has made this
day more blessed than the day of his
birth.
Four and Eighty Years.
For four and eighty years of his
mortal life God walked with him. He
went with him through the valley
and the shadows to the gates of si
lence, and now that he haa passed
through and taken his place among
"the things to come," God'a love
abide with him still.
Around this coffin and this bier
and thla house of clay from which
our brother has departed, there are
today no shadows. Christ haa ban
ished them all when he banished
death. And here we stand before the
bright and gleaming ramparts of Im
mortality and exultlngly say, "O
Death, where Is thy sting? O grave,
where Is thy victory?" Banished by
the Savior's love.
To give place to the light of life
and Immortality. For death Is but
the link that connects mortal and
Immortal life.
God Is life. God Is love. God If
joy. God Is peace. And may His
love and his peace be and remain
with youi here and hereafter, aa they
do with the departed, now and for
ever. Amen.
WELSH THE VICTOR.
lake End Out of W rentier at Gold
Hill.
It so happened that there was
a man who resided at Gold Hill of
the name of Walters who somehow
got the Idea Into his head that he
could wrestle some. He gave out
the Information that he ' was a
wrestler from Wrestlervllle and
wanted to meet one and all In the
business who had sufficient gall to
tackle him In a match.
This modern Gollah of Gold Hill
sauntered forth upon the streets of
that busy little burg and dared any
one In that place, or any other
plnce for that matter, to come forth
and do him battle. It so came to
pass that there was a David resid
ing in Medford who, hearing of the
challenge Issued, sent word that lie
would Ilko to meet the Gold Hill
giant and take a chance.
This man happened to be Jack
Welsh, otherwise known as Profes
sor Grant, the dancing master. Yes
terday he hied himself forth to Gold
Hill and when he was ready to re
turn Mr. Walters realised that he
did not know even the beginning of
the wrestling game. To be sure, he
got the first fall, and then how the
miners yelled. It la said that the
noise was heard In Medford, and
some people thought a thunder
storm was coming this way.
With all the confidence In the
world, Mr. Walters dashed Into the
fray for the second round, but lol
and behold, he failed to have a look
in. Over and down he went almost
In the twinkling of an eye. Again
he tackled the Medford man and
this time It was stated by him that
he waa going to do or die. Wei!,
he tailed to do It, and It may also
be stated that he did not die, either.
He simply went to the mate like a
log of wood.
Again Mr. Walters came tn the
front and his hundred of friends
urged him on with shouts nnd
cheers. Eat him up!" they yelled,
but once more Welsh tipped him
over, and soon after that he was
leading the way with a following
that looked like a funerat proces
sion on the way to a cemetery.
It will he remembered that Welsh
waa beaten twice In this city by V.
II. West, but even at that he Is con
sidered to he a good man at the bus
iness. He weighs 207 pounds, while
the gold-digger tipped the scales at
m.

York.
TO
KLAMATH FALLS
(Contributed.)
The manner in which Will G. Steel
outlined the Crater Lake road situ
ation at the Commercial club Wed
nesday evening was comprehensive,
and in some waya might even be said
to be startling.
Roads within the Crater Lake na
tional park and the national for.) it
are under the government's supervlH-
ion and will eventually be built of
the highest class; but, even If they
were such now, tbey do not reach to
the outside world of modern trans
portation facilities, consequently
would not meet the requirements.
Crater I-ake can never rate among
the world's available wonders until
It la connected by high-class roads
with railroads to the east and west.
This fnct was appreciated by Gov
ernor Chamberlain and others dur
ing the past summer aud led to se
rious discussion, which resulted in
the appointment of a state commis
sion to devise ways and means fur
tile const ruction of such a road from
some point on the Southern Pacific
in Jackson county to Klamath Falls.
ThiB commission organized and
decided to ask Jackson county to
pledge $50,000 toward building such
a road to the west line of the na
tional forest, on condition that Klam
ath county pledge an equal sum to
build from the line of the national
forest to Klamath Falls, and that
the state appropriate $ 100,000,
which the governor agreed to recom
mend In hla message to the legisla
ture. tf.TO.OOO From Outside.
Aside from this, the commission
had reason to expect $50,000 from
outside sources, on Klamath county
entering Into the agreement, a por
tion of which would have Immedi
ately become available for expenses.
This would have enabled the com
mission to go to the legislature with
a request for $10,000, backed up by
a statement that they already bad
$150,000 subscribed and payable
only on condition of getting such an
appropriation. The further argu
ment would have been urged that
such action by the legislature would
Insure a fund within the state of
$250,000, and on such a showing the
commission could go to congress for
a like sum, with a reasonable assur
ance of getting It.
It will be noticed that each con
tribution was contingent on the oth
ers being made, as far as inose with
in the state are concerned1, and there
could be no success unless both Jack
son and Klamath counttea agree to
the proposition. Jackson county
promptly accepted the proposition,
but Klamath county failed to do so,
although petitions are being circu
lated there and are being generally
signed by taxpayers asking the coun
ty court to make the necessary tax
levy.
However, conditions have changed
:ice thia work was undertaken and
the matter of success or failure is
trembling In the balance. Klamath's
failure prevents the third $50,000
from becoming available, and the
commission has no funds whatever.
Congress la now in session and will
adjourn on March 4, so It ia too late
to secure aid there. The legislature
will be In session In a few days and
the commission Is not In shape to
carry out Ita plan. Everything haB
come to a standstill.
What Will Re Done.
Now, citizens of Jackson county,
what are you going to do about It?
The forestry division of the gov
ernment has a fund for the con
struction of roads within the nation
al forests. Thia fund la under the
direction of Gifford Pinchot, one of
Crater Lake's greatest admirers. Mr.
Garfield, secretary of the Interior,
has offered to do everything in his
power to assist in the work and
thinks funds can be had. It is too
late to go before congress at this
session with a direct proposition, but
a live representative In Washington
city Immediately on the reassembling
of congress on January 4, has every
reason to believe that Mr. Pinchot
would use some of the funds In hi
care for this purpose, even though
he might feel It wise to ask for a
special appropriation.
Must Bend Mr. Steel.
While Mr. Garfield waa here last
year he said the government would be
very glad to build a good road from
Crater Lake to Prospect, provided It
could be assured that Jackson coun
ty would continue It to the railroad,
but he did not consider it fair for
the government to build within the
reserve without an assurance of the
work being carried on down Into the
valley.
The sentiment of the resolutions
adopted by the Commercial club
should be carried Into effect at once.
If not done Immediately It will be
forever too late. They recommend

the sending of Mr. Steel to Washing
