ENCAMPMENT It was a happy, care free company of men and women members of the Grand Army and Relief Corps that met at the depot Wednesday morning, September 15, en route to the ISth annual reunion of the old soldiers and sailors, being In session at Jacksonville, Ore. The train being on time we were soon all aboard, and as this was the first time that many of us had been south of Grants Pass, we had the keen enjoyment of viewing a new and unexplored country. We found much to admire In the pretty little towns, which, no doubt, have a future all of their own, and as the country began to broaden we were surprised to see so many fine, well kept farms with large orchards, fields of grain and herds of cattle, sheep and swine. Verily, the Rogue River valley Is a land of plenty. We were still admiring the coun try when our attention was arrested by the uniformed young man that sells "things' on the train. Noticing our badges, and falling once befora to find a purchaser for his banana?, peanuts and other ftghting things, this time his arm was ladn with tiny colored glass lanterns which, he assured us, were "the same lan terns General Washington used when crossing the Delaware" and that we would surely want one. as a souvenir Just then Medford was called, and while waiting the convenienoe and time to be transferred to the Rogue River Valley railway, the costliest railroad in America five cents per Bjimlle, we1 spent in seeing all that we could of the city of Medford and they may be justly proud of their town with its broad, clean streets ' and fine business blocks, residences and parks, which show to advantage from the car windows as the roads wind In and out, In contrast to our own beautiful city, where the rail road takes in only one business street, railroad shops, factories, warehouses and mills, while the (handsome and costly residences, the I beautiful, veil kept lnwns and parks, are all so far back that it Is Impos- SIl'le lo K' 1 v" w 1,1 "1"1 lur t . i . .., . e a . . ... . .. .

The heroes of boxes, rolls of blankets, valises andiniany battles were as happy as If four beer kegs and some half dozen men standing. Note the beer kegs did not belong to onr party. We finally started, rear end of the engine first, and would liked to have admired the landscape but could not as we "?ere busy keeping the flying cinders from blinding us. A few moments and we were at our destination, historical old Jackson ville, the pioneer of Southern Ore gon. We were met at the depot by Mr. E. B. Haney with his three-seated rig and handsome pair of blacks. On our arrival at the camp grounds we were met by several from Grants Pass already on the ground. The camping grounds were simply perfect. A sloping, shady hillside, covered with oaks and evergreens, was chosen. The committee had spared neither expense, work or thought In preparing and arranging the grounds for the comfort and con venience of the "battla-s'airod boys of '61" and their families. The free straw was bright and clean; the free coffee gallons of it was always hot, always ready and of the most delicious flavor; while the free soup made In an Immense Iron cauldron would have done honor to the most fastidious French chef. The members of the North Dakota association were given the grounds and social privileges for their annual reunion. Their presiding genius, a gentleman who could make a finan cial success as a real estate dalor, gave a short address in which the greatness and possibilities even the mosquitoes were so large that two. In an emergency, had been culled on to fill the vacancy of a stolon team of North Dakota. Query Why did that gentleman ccme to Oren? At the close of his address we were Invited to a fenst of water melons. A long table was loaded with this edible, while musk melons, boxes of apples and peaches and baskets of grapes, all of the most de licious flavor, to which all did ample Justice. Every day while we were on the grounds fresh melons and fruit were brought and distributed among the campers. At 3 o'clock we formed In line and began the march to the school grounds, headed by the drum corps playing the old Inspiring tune, 'Marching Through Georgia," to see the flag given by' the G. A. R. and W. R. C. to the Jacksonville school, and to henr the presentation nddrem of Rev. Robert McLean to the school children. It Is needless to state that Mr. McLean was In his element when addressing the children, dining which he told them to always rever i'iici and respect that beautiful em blem of liberty, our glorious Stars and Snipes, for which nearly 3,o00, 000 men and boys forsook homo and everything that life holds dear to preserve with their life blood .'in undivided country. Of Hint titini ber of boys In blue, only (ilS.r.ll were over 22 years of ace, while 1,1 fill, 798 were 21 years old or under and 1,l!i1,43K were not yet IS years old. 844,91 were under 1 (5 yi-nrs, l,r23 not over 14 years and 22 were not more than 12 years and 2.1 were 10 years old or under. The urandest army of boys the world ever saw. County Superintendent Wells made the response, In which he thanked Mr. Mii.ean, Hie G. A. R. and ladles of the W. R. C for the address and the beautiful gift. Here on the school grounds wo disbanded, returning to CHinp at our leisure. The day had been one of the hottest, with plenty of dust and no wind, and we had thought Jack sonville a small place, but as each I straggling party returned and had 'nicked out a cool spot to rest In, we bean to estimate the distance from the ramp to the school house. We started In at 1 miles, but as none of us could agree, wo finally decided to ask each returning party as to J the distance. We did, and tho last one thought 39' miles about the rlt?ht amount, and there we left It. If Jacksonville wants to set up a dnlm as the largest, as well as the oldest city In Southern Oregon. ckII on any one that marched from the G. A. R. camping ground to the school house on the afternoon of September Iff, Iff ft 9. The evening program, under t!ii management of Mrs. L. Caiigh'hrun, was exceptionally fine, consl.it nig of ongs, solos and recitations. Much sympathy and admiration was ex pressed for little Gretchen I'oolt, n t'lotherlesH lltt.e child who snr two beautiful patriotic sotigs whl'e cos tumed In blue.

Those elected for the ensuing year were: Colonel, J. W. Hicks. Central Point; lieutenant colonel, Isaac Wolfe, Med ford; major, James Holman, Grants Pass; quartermaster, A. J. T. Smith; chaplain, Rev. Robert McLean, Grant Pass. The next reunoln will bo held at Gold Hill September, 1910. At 6 p. m, a banquet was served In the grove by tho ladles of Jack sonville. The long tables were spread with the most delicious viands and fruits, served with hot tea and coffee. After a most boun tiful repast the guests were told to help themselves to what they might fancy for their breakfast and not a one when away empty handed. Be fore leaving the tables the comrades ordered three cheers for the good ladles of Jacksonville, which were given with such vigor and heartiness that the very leaves overhead quiver ed. The evening's program consisted of orchestral music by tho Jackson ville band under Director John A. Norllng, ex-bandmnster of the 45th Regiment band, U. S. A., throughout the Phllllpine campaign. It was one of the most enjoyablo entertainments given during the encampment. Friday morning was spent In rid ing and visiting tho nenrby vineyard. and orchards an the fruit packing plant, whero girls wero packing pears at tho rate of 80 boxes per day each. The boxes were beauti fully lithographed and labelled "Rogue River Pears," and It was hoped by all that when the pears reached their far-away destination that the contents on the Inside would match the present condition of the outside. The afternoon was given over to the drum corps with its Civil War music. There were also selections by Jacksonville talent and an address by Prof. Mulkey who, after paying a Just tribute to the G. A. R., spoke In eloquent terms of tho life of Col. E. D. Baker, who, he thinks, has not been Justly appreciated by the people of Oregon for his noble, self- sncrlflcing llfo and valorous deeds during tho dark days of the rebellion, and ho thought it would only bo a slight recognition of this gallant of ficer's services, as well as a righteous duty, If the people of Oregon should have his remains brought from Cali fornia and Interred In tho state of Oregon. Rev. G. L. Hall, of Medlord, also made a few Interesting remarks, The evening's program .was entirely Medford talent and consisted of music by tho drum corps, songs, re citations, drills and tableaux, closing with an original lyric composed In camp at Jacksonville, Ore., by one of the drum corps.

As I sit here nnd look this beauti ful morning On th siniill tented valley that lleH just below, And watch the flag wave by tho breezes returning lliiin; buck Hie days of long ngo. For there In the camp are. the men of the war line That forty-four years have left to us yet; Gathered again for a happy and glad time, Recalling old scenes lest wo forget. The years Hint have flown each one Is a telling. Ilent forms and gray hair and not near so spry; Yet the lovo for our flag In each bosom Is swelling, And the beat of tho drum brings fire to the eye. But we notice tho way since that far-away day That our steps are more measured as we fall Into line And the old coat of blue that has faoed away It's the same as our lives, Just mark ing the time. But hero In our camp we get well and forget All tho aches and tho pains and rheumatic darts And the first thing that we know, and without a regret. We are stepping It off to tho time In our hearts; And with laughter and song and the story told over, With faces all smiles In the flicker ing light Of the camp fires, of lovu and the best days of yore That dwells In euch heart that Is with us tonight. Here In I'lrlch grove, In this Jack sonville town, We have camped and you know we have bad a good time: Couldn't help It, for Haney he's drove ni nd down And baked beans (lie finest this side of the Rhine. Tln-n at night, when the crowd round the ramp fire hud gathered And the drum's timitlal strains hud enlivened Hie en ne, We ilntiieil In tin.' dust till we all fnlrly lathered Hound tli spot wheto Thief Haney i had baked ih flic bi litis. .Now while we at'- pineiliig, ami wo'H I never forgot It This Jacksonville town, the old pion eer, For the banquet of flowers and th act that express It, And the right hearty welcome .that greeted us here, May the day star of hope guide and protect you. May your future be bright as the flag as It flies; And down In our hearts we will never forget you, Or the lady that gave us those fin pumpkin pies. So here's to the comrades that one wore the blue, For tho W. R. C, the pride of our land, To their sons and their daughter! that they may be true And care for the herltago left by that band. And when we break camp in th beautiful morning, Saying good-by with tears choke. Clasping each hand that helped do the storming That permits our loved banner for ever to float. e At the cIobo of the program all returned to the huge camp fire for a farewell good time. The years seemed to roll away and the gray haired veteran was young again at he sang and danced to the old famili ar music of long ngo. Tho gaiety was at Its height when the war whoop of a band of blood-thirsty savages silenced the revellers. For a short tlmo pandemonium reigned supremo for the savages were de termined to exterminate the entire camp. However, after a terrible massacre, hostilities ceased, a treaty was signed, war paint nnd war feath ers removed and tho blood-thirsty savngo became a law-abiding pale face agnln. The comrades, with their families and friends, had spent a week "tenting on tho old camp ground," and had been royally treated by the good people of Jacksonville, many new friendships had been made and old ones renewed, and now they were ' ready lo excuango good-byes and best wishes until they meet at Gold Hill next year, for the 18th annual encampment was now a matter for history and all that remained was a memory. Ab a last token of friendship on . leaving tho camping grounds next morning a gentlemnn set a basket of luscious peaches beforo us saying ladles help yourselves." We ac knowledged his kindness by accept ing all we could carry In our already well-filled hands and In true court esy wo should hnve brought them home, but we must relate that two of the younger members of our party tried to bribe tho handsome young owner, promoter and conductor of the Rogue River Valley railroad by offering him a peach In lieu of tho customary "two-bits," but for some unexplained reason, desplto tho pret ty pleading faces, ho took tho quar ter and then the peach. The visiting G. A. R. comrades from Grants Pass were: Rev. Robert McLean, J. K, Peterson, 13. 'A. Wade, I, H. Moore, W. M. Morris. R. L. Hlsbrow, Theodore Mott, John Pat rick, llryon Moore, A.

The entire success of tho encamp ment wns largely due to the unfall- ng tboughtfulness, euro and execu tive forethought and ability of Colonel A. C. Spencer, of Ashland, Ore., and his faithful wife.
