MARK HISTORICAL S1DT8 In another column of the Courier will be found a letter from a pioneer resident of Josephine county, calling attention to the grave of Josephine Leland, murdered by the Jdians, and for whom it is claimed by some that Josephine county, the town of Le land, and Grave Creek were named. This letter is' timely and should be the starting of a movement in this county to find and mark the grave of this pioneer woman who met an unfortunate end. The tree referred to from whose branches It is said swung the bodies of the murderous redskins. Is a big oak which stands at the roadside In front of the Grave Creek Ranch bouse and near the choolhouse. It Is unmarked, ' and unless means are taken for its pres ervation there Is a possibility that It will be cut down as being too near the roadway. ;v Historic spots In Southern Calif ornia', which tourists are urged to -visit are the birthplace of Ramona, the house where she was married, and . bar grave. The fact that the story of Ramona is fiction matters not. If closely questioned the loyal Call fornlan will maintain that the house Is where Ramona would have been married had she lived. Josephine county has a real heroine and ber grave Is' unmarked. Let the loyal women ' band together and pre serve these historic spots that the thousands of tourists who will pass the historic spot every year may know the story of Josephine Iceland. Ia order to foster a movement the Courier will start a list with a J 5.00 donation, and would advise that such a movement be made a popular one with many small subscriptions in preference to fewer subscriptions of . larger amounts. And in order to create an interest In the story of Josephine Leland the Courier will give a $5.00 prize for the test story embodying the facts of the woman's life and death. Stor ies must be turned in at the Courier office not later than October 15, and limited to 500 to 800 words. We Can Save You Money OX XKTTOX BliAXKKTS AXD riLLOWS KINNEY & TRUAX 101 North Sixth 91.

OLD INDIAN SCOUT IS DAY IN CITY Colonel King Stanley, Indian scout. adventurer, business man and tour-j 1st, arrived in Grants Pass Thursday night In his "Desert Rat," a Maxwell automobile that has traveled niorej than 27,000 miles of roads and trails of the United States. With him is A. R. Moon of Livingstone, Mont., photo-! grapher and mechanician. Colonel Stanley, the last of the three scouts with the title of colonel, is making a trip around the Vnited States as a result of a bet with lxs Angeles club men who wagered I $5,000 that he could not drive to New York in two months and earn his way across. The trip was made in seven weeks, the route going by way of Texas, Florida and up the Atlantic coast to the metropolis. He had $10 when be left Los Angeles and arrived in New York with $300, although when he crossed the north line of Virginia be had but 30 cents. Colonel Stanley, who Is, an old scout and guide, earned his way by giving exhibitions of fancy revolver shooting and sleight of band perform ances. He has traveled up and down the Pacific coast for the past half century. Up to a year ago he was the last scout in the harness, and with the death of Col. William Cody (Buffalo Biin. and Colonel "White Hawk" Powell, he is the only survlv lng scout colonel. Colonel Stanley brought the, first immigrant train over the Oregon trail In 1868, and he has piloted hundreds of Immi grants to the far west, coming over nearly every trail In use In the old days. He has crossed the country In every mode of travel horseback, on root, by wagon, by bicycle, and his present trip adds the automobile to ms recora. in w York ne pur chased an airplane, a Spad, and In January he will employ an aviator and fly from Los Angeles to the At lantic coast, completing all known means of transcontinental travel. Colonel Stanley, while in Grants Pass, is the guest of Benj. F. Collins, the local Maxwell distributor. After spending the day In this city the "Desert Rat" will proceed south. JOSEPHINE LELAND'S GRAVE YET-UNMARKED Having been a citizen of Josephine county for over 40 years, naturally Its history and progress is 6f great in terest to me. It was my privilege to pass through Grave creek and Ae vicinity where unfortunate Josephine Iceland was slain by the Indians. We stopied and searched, with no avail, for her grave. Is there any one yet living in Josephine county who can locate It? I appeal to the women of Josephine county. Shall we let this grave be lost one of the most, if not the most, historical spots In our county The young lady in whose honor. Josephine county, the town of Leland and Grave Creek were all named? 1 am very glad to note that the old oak, where the Indiana who murdered Josephine Iceland, were hanged, is still standing. Should we allow this tree to go unmarked, when with very little expense it could be made a landmark which would be of Interest not only to the people of Josephine county, but to every tourist who pass es It? Are there not enough hlstory- loving women In Josephine county to raise a fund to erect a proper monu ment at Josephine Iceland's grave. If It ran be located, and suitable mark ings for the old oak, so that In the years to come when all the old pion eers who Itnow the sad story, have passed on, there will yet be this bit of history left for the future citizens of Josephine county?
