THE COMMERCIAL
ASSOCIATION
'.args Roli of Members Secured
and a Grea' Deal Enihusiam
Is Displayed.
The organization of the Jacksonvil e
Commercial Club was perfected kst
Saturday evening. Because of an im­
portant lodge meeting that night, only
a small crowd was in attendance.
However, those who were there were
enthusiastic and all voiced themselves
as anxious to do something for the gen­
eral welfare of the town and commun­
ity. T. J. Kenney was elected presi­
dent of the club and C. L. Reames was
chosen as secretary. Both gentlemen
are loyal citizens and boosters of ex-
eedingly good quality. They know
what the town needs and how to secure
it.
On last Thursday night a meeting
was again called when a large crowd of
the best clzizens was present. The
meeting was called for the purpose of
adding members to the club’s roll, to
fix the fees, dues, etc., and to outline
an immediate plan of action. A. large
number were placed on the list of mem­
bers. The matter of securing a brick
..nd tile manufacturing plant will be
iaken up immediately; also efforts will
be made toward the securing of a sys­
tem of water works for the town. Nu­
merous other matters will be taken up
later on.
Letters from all parts of the country
inquiring for Jacksonville literature,
etc., have beer received here within
the pust couple of months, and before
another year has passed the Commer­
cial Club will no doubt have secured
several new enterprises for the city
and added materially to its population.
Every member should, and doubtless
will, get in and boost all the time.
Talk Jacksonville; think Jacksonville.
Let’s make the Jacksonville spirit the
bv-word of Southern Oregon. But all
must pull together. If some'hinge mes
up that demands the attention cf the
club, every man s'r.ou d appoint himself
a committee of one to boost for it. It’s
the only way to bring about success.
Jcajuin Millet’s Latest Poem.
Joaquin Miller, the poet, in his oration
on the Fourth of July, recited an ode tj
Oregon miners. It is as “Toilers:
We are battered and old, but our hearts
are bold;
Yet oft times do we repine
For the days of old, for the days of go’d,
For the days like to forty-nine.
We have worke I our claims, we have
scattered our gold,
Our pickaxes rest on the bars,
Yet still in the twilight of life we behold
Outcroppings of gold in the stars.
A few mere cays and the last miner
lays his pickaxe aside and is still,
Where the q a 1 pipes on an ! the jack­
rabbit plays
By the graves on the chapparelhill.
We are wreck and stray, we are cast
away,
Poor battered old hulks on the bars;
But we hope and pray on the judgment
day
We may strike it up in the stars.
Joaquin certainly has a way of get­
ting at the heart strings. Take the
second stanza, for instance:
“We havs worked our claims, we have
scattered our gold,
Our pickaxes rest on the bars.”
In fancy we can see the grizzled old
shovelers lining up to the bar, all in
but their pickaxes, which they have
laid on the bar trying to work the bar­
tender' for "a little of the same.”
The third stanza starts out:
“A few mere days and the last miner
lays
His pickaxe aside and is still.”
Here we come to the next act the
whole bunch has gene on a strike.
But the last stanza brings the tears.
It goes:
.‘We are wreck and stray, we are cast
away.
Poor battered old hulks on the bars;”
You see, there was nothing doing.
The mine-owners refused to take them
back and they all got drunk and are
laid out, and instead of rolling them un­
der the billiard table, they are pl iced
on the bar, which was kind of the bar­
tender, to say the least.
