COUNTY AUTO DEALERS HAVE GET-TOGETHER HOTEL ASHLAND DINNER One of the most enjoyable of the many delightful luncheons given at Hotel Ashland was partaken of Sun day noon by the auto dealers of Ashlaml and Medford who made ex hibits at the Winter Fair. This "fpnst of reason and flow of gas" was In the nature of a polllflcatlon meeting to celebrate the splendid au to show which hail Just closed and which resulted In a closer union of Hie auto Interests of Jackson coun ty. The prize turkey offered for the best decorated auto booth was won by Harrison Brothers, whose Ford sedan and Fordson tractor were ex hibited In a beautiful lattice-work booth decorated with yellow crysan themums. The "piece de resistance" of the fraternal feed was this self same premium gobbler, whose Juicy Joints were skillfully carvel by J. F. Hittson, a visiting Medford deal er, who performed the difficult op eration without getting a lap full of gravy and stuffing. John Fuller acted as toastmastor, being all that his name Indicated before the lunch eon was finished. Everybody agreed that It wbb a good thing for rival dealers to get together In fraternal good fellowship and co-operate for the general good of the automotive industry. Me DAY DRMMo MeOU) FOLKS AT CHRISTMAS .'in Frank L. Stanl orv y Old folks, too, like Christmas; Grandfather, sitting mere, Feels sad if he's forgotten 'cause he's in his chimney-chair; He says he's thinkin' of the days that he no more will see, When he was just a little boy a Christmas boy like me. He listens to the .fire for it's always talkin' so, And then it is he calls to mind his good ' times long ago When the Christmas wind was whistlin' through the cold and frosty nights And children dreamed of Christmas bells and watched for Christmas lights. He doesn't seem to hear at all the noise the children make, For when he sits the stillest there he's dieamin' wide awake! But mother then she tells us to all run right out and play, For old folks hear sweet music when they're dreamin' day by day. -i ,2S vs, -V. " Ashland Traveler Complains of Cold In Eastern Cities H. H. Leavitt, Chestnut and Luna Vista Btreets, returned ' yesterday morning from an extended trip to Minnesota, Oklahoma, Colorado and California. Numerous friends and relatives wore visited, most of whom Mr. Leavitt had not seen since he came to Ashland twelve years ago. Arriving at St. Paul, the Oregon ian found It necessary to wear all his clothes and to buy additional ap parel as a protection againt the snow atid zero weather. After a few dayB and dollars spent In the Minnesota capital, Mr. Leavitt visit ed at Mankato, Crystal lake his old home and Tracy. At the second place a chicken pie supper was In progress at the Methodist church when the Ashlnnder arrived and for some of the white meat, please. At Tracy his daughter, Vera, was dis covered with nine children, all of whom seemed glail to see Grandpa. Business conditions In Mlnnesot ara very bad, reports Mr. Leavitt. A number of closed banks were ob served. Land which sold for $200 and upwards per acre Is now slow sale at $75. Corn In down to 25c a bushel and other farm products rela tively cheap. Oklahoma City, where Mr. Lea vitt's married son Harvey, a news paper advertising solicitor, lives. Is a thriving, rapidly growing city of ?lout 100.000, Its prosperity being largely due to nearby .oil wells Much cotton is also grown, ginned and baled there. Whites and blacks occupy separate schools, churches, cars and railway stations. Land in Colorado owned by Mr. Leavitt was next visited and then the sights of Los Angeles and Long Hearti viewed. Although several das were spent in that vicinity, nothing was seen of Mac Sennet's i i ; J.kC mm 4 J Hi 0$,-J Xjs akiss on ChristoaslmornuvVwlii we And then Grandmother SHE comes in and sits beside him there, And puts her hand in his, and says sweet words he loves to hear, But what they are she'd never tell to mother or to you; She knows that he is dreamin', for she dreams the same dreams,-too. So Christmas comes to old folks, and it's then they love to know The children don't forget 'em, though they lived so long ago! AnVthey say the sweetest present of all sweet things and fair rriornin. mm ROOMS EARLY EXPERIENCE in in over a difference of opinion In a 70 CO. TEACHER9 poker game.

The first settlers to make permanent homes In Jackson coun ty were the men who established ferries there at Long's Ferry, Per kln's Ferry and Evans1 Ferry. This was In 1861, the same year in which Judge A. A. Skinner, Indian agent of the Rogue River Indians, took up the first claim In the county, south east of Table Rock. He built a log cabin on Bear creek. The govern ment interpreter, Chesley Gray, took a claim next to Judge Skinner's. Late In December, 1861, Moses Hopwood took a claim on Bear creek.

In 1856 Jackson county had more population and more wealth than any other county In Oregon. Jacksonville was flour ishing and was the metropolis of Southern Oregon. After living two years at Ashland our family moved to Central Point. The first settlement at Ashland was made January 6, 1852, by R. B. Hargadlne and a man named Pease. About a week latr A. D. Hellman, Dowd Farley, E. Emery, J. B. Em ery, J. A. (Jaraweii, ana a. m. nos ers took up places there. The first log house was that ot Hargadlne. Then came the sawmill built by Eb en and J. B J. A. Cardwell. It was begun in February and was ready to saw by June. It waB named the Ashland sawmill In honor of the home town of Ashland, Ohio, of A. D. Hellman. The third building was A. D. Hell- man's house. Then came Eben Em ery's. The building ot tne oig grist mill, the Ashland mills, really de termined the fact that the site ot the mills would become a permaneut city. "Central Point, to which place we moved from Jacksonville, took Its name from being In the center of the county. Later we bought the John T. Miller farm and I went to school at Jacksonville.
