contended, and witnesses were called to
testify.
In announcing hi lack of jurisdiction,
Rossman declared that in his opinion

"Astoria, sir? Yes sir, ws'll be
there In one hour and 16 minutes.
Ready? All right, we're) off."
Ifar-fetched?. Not a bit, declares
Oliver K. Jeffery, assistant manager
of the Oregon, Washington & Idaho
,-Afrplario company, Portland pio
neers In commercial aviation.
So great will the passenger carrying
trade become, Jeffery declares, that soon
it will be possible to jump Into a "ship,"
fly to the terminal of a big coast air
line and hop Into a large craft capable
of whining 10 or more persons to San
Francisco or Los Angeles.
BtADT TO STJBTET ROUTES
.Taking another step forward In estab
lishing the passenger carrying trade In :
' Oregon, Washington and Idaho, Jeffrey's .
company this week or next will begin I
surveying routes to nearby towns.
Thus, a schedule something like this '
may be announced :
To Salem, 45 minutes. 1
To McMlhnvUle. 45 minutes. i
Medford, Astoria, Eugene, Ashland all
these towns-wlU be near to Portland (
when air travel becomes common.
Business men who must visit distant
parts ef the state In a hurry already
are finding air travel speedy. Interest
ing and comparatively cheap, Jeffery
declares.
, Novelty of aviation, too, is not yet
worn off and many persons dally take
a ride In the company's ships. For
them Jeffery this summer will Inaugu
rate aa around-Portland trip to cover 46
miles. To. see as much of the city by
. automobile would take several days.
P0BTLA5D AIR LIKE CCKTEB
Portland bids fair to become an air
line center, aooording to recent develop
ments. An air line from San Francisco
northward is contemplated and another
' may come here this summer from Salt
Lake, connecting the Pacific Northwest
with New York 36 hours away via air
plane. Many local business men are
buying their own ships, and the naval
militia last week requested assignment
here of two flying boats.
There are scores of Portland men
who served in the air service during the
war sjid who still retain interest in
aeronautics.

Brownfield Estate

Pendleton, Feb. 28. An estate worth
$44,381, all cash assets, was left by C.
W. Brownfield, the appraisal, filed to
day, showed. Other documents which
have come to the executor Indicated that
there might be other property, valued at
3179,599, but two months' efforts have
failed to ascertain In whose hands thl
property now rests.
Brownfield died December 22, while
suit for divorce was pending Against him
His wife alleged him to be worth a quar

more than $10,000 when called Into court.
Among Items found by appraisers were
certificates of deposit In a local bank
totaling 130,000 and outstanding notes

present title, although he was reputed

By Wilford Allen
Grants Pass did not get its name
because of the weakness of General
Ulysses S; Grant for the great Amer
ican gam of poker. The story has
been told for many years, and it Is
still current flctiori, that Grant was
stationed here when fighting Indians
In the West, in 1853, and that he
put in his spare momenta playing
poker; that it was a notorious prac
tice of the then captain to "pass"
when it camp his play, and that be
cause of this, the name of "Grants
Pass" became attached to the place
where he had headquarters.
NAMED IX 184S
The truth of the matter is there was
no Grants Pass upon the map until 1865,
and the manner of naming is told by
Daniel Green, still hale and hearty at
86 years of age, who has lived continu
ously, in Josephine eounty eince 1852.
Green served In early-day legislatures
and was sheriff of Josephine and held
roany other of the county offices when
Josephine's history was in the making.
Dlmmlck's stage station was located
on the flat a mile to the north of where
Grants Pass now stands. From Dlm
mlck's to the next station to the north.
Leland, waa a run of 13 miles, and
changes of horses were made at these
points. To shorten the road between
these two stations it was decided to lo
cate the route through a pass Just west
of Dlmmlcks, and in April. 1865, a crew
of men began work making this change.
It was before, the days of the telephone
or the telegraph and the swinging old
Concora stage coach brought the dally
news, though the news waa days and
week old when "it arrived.'
NAMED FOKGENEBAL
. Aa th coach raced past the driver
would call out the news feature of the
hour to the men working by the road
aide. One day while the crew was work
ing in the pas the coacb raced past the
driver yelling "Grant has whipped hell
out of Lee. and the war Is over.''
Naturally , as'hey worked they dis
cussed the mighty event and during the
conversation it was suggested that the
pass where they were " road building
should be called "Grants Pass."
Later, when a poetoffie waa toe ted
at Dtmmicks stage station It was called
Grants Pass. . .
In the early 'tO's the railroad came
from the north. With it came buSlnesa
enterprises, and one of the first stores
r established was Howard's. It was a
mile south of Dlmmick's stage station
and the post Office of GranU Pass.
Howard was appointed postmaster, and
he went over to Grants Pass and
brought the mall bags back to his store:
With the 'mall bags ha brought the
name, and the transition of Grants Pass
was complete.
NAMED FOB PBOSPECTOB9.
Green tsila many interesting tales o
how towns were christened artd how
creeks and mountains got their names.
Most of the creeks, he says, were named
after th men who first found gold In
their sands. There was ' the Althouse,
where the first discovery was mad.
Althouse was the man who made the
find. Galice creek, on which Is located
that Interesting and picturesque Old
hamlet of th same name, yielded its
secret of gold to the Frenchman. Gallo.
The town of Waldo -was first Known as
"Sailor Diggings." Some sailors had
come over from Crescent City and had
found gold. Then the Waldo brothers,
three of them, came In and established
a hotel and a store and a saloon, and
the legislature officially changed the
name to Waldo. At the same time
Kerbyvllle. also in the Illinois valley,
waa changed by the legislature to Na
poleon. But the new name, failed to
stick, though by common consent it
was shortened to Kerby.
T. V. Dixon Promoted
Spokane. Wash., Feb. 28.T. F. Dixon,
for several years chief clerk under
Superintendent I W. Bowen, will become
superintendent of the Marcus division
Monday, when the railroads are restored

Portland's teachers are to bo
given an opportunity to learn some
thing about art.
Too long have they floundered in
lgnorince as to the meaning of the
pictures and friezes that adorn their
rooms and thus failed to Impart to
the children the real significance of
the treasures selected for them by
the advisory art committee.
vToo long have they complained of the
art committee's selections because of
their lack of understanding of the first
fundamentals of art.
COURSE OF LECTURES
A course of eight lectures on art is to
be given Portland's teachers. A similar
course was given two years ago, and
those teachers who attended have asked
for mor.
The art education of the teachers was
commenced last Friday at the Art Mu

"What Is Artr Every Friday there
after for seven weeks, different periods
and aspects of art will be explained,
Mrs. Mabel Holme Pareons will talk
on "Esthetics," March 6 ; the following
week Mrs. Ralph Wilbur will speak on
"Egyptian Art"; Miss Henrietta H.

th next week, and the last Friday in
March Ellis F. Lawrence will discuss
"Gothic Cathedrals."
