Another of the pioneers of south
ern Oregon passed to his long rest
when the life light departed from
David Brlggs, who resided five miles
south of Kerby, on the afternoon of
Sunday, June 1st.
The deceased was born on the old
Brlggs homestead In the Kerby dis
trict on the 22nd day of June, 1855,
he being 58 years of age at the time
of his death. His father was Geo.
Briggs, who was prominently con
nected with the very-earliest of the
southern Oregon history, Fort Brlggs,
where the white settlers gathered to
protect themselves from the depreda
tions of the Rogue Indiana, being
upon his homestead.
David Brlggs, the deceased, was
the locator and owner for a long
period of years of the Brlggs placer
mining property on upper Sucker
creek, as well as of other mining
properties of value. His wife was
Annabelle Jordan, of another of the
pioneer families, and to them were
born three children who survive, Roy
and Ray Rrlggs. twin sons, and the
daughter, Mrs. A. J. Faulk, all resi
dents of the Kerby district.
The deceased had always been an
upright citizen, and his passing
causes the deepest regret among the
tniL'.. clrclp of his friends and ae-
Mr. and Mrs. E. E. McKibban ar
rived in Grants Pass on the evening
of the 30th, after the long trip by
automobile from Muskogee, Okla
homa. The McKibbans were here last
fall and purchased Tokay Heights
property upon which they propose to
make their future home. They then
returned to Oklahoma to make prep
arations for removal to Grants Pass,
and on March 12th they started, the
auto carrying Mr. and Mrs. McKib
ban and Chief, the pointer dog. The
trip was made by easy stages, and
was without disturbing incident, be
ing a most pleasurable outing. A
total of 3,302 miles was covered, the
route being via New Mexico, Arizona,
Texas and California.
Mr. McKibban is an architect by
profession, and will build a beauti
ful home on the Tokay Heights tract.
Mrs. McKibban has occupied a prom
inent place In club circles in her
home state, and at the time she left
for Oregon, she was head of the pub
lic health department of the state
federation, and chairman of the food
sanitation committee.
Mix. Oiidycko First Regi.steied

phlno county under the new law

that was for setting two tires."
"And after twenty-two years of daily use in p ooc?
and bad weather and over all kinds of roads, 1 will
put this wagon against any new wagon of another

"Studebaker wagons are built of air-dried lumber
and tested iron and steel. Even the paint and varnish
are subjected to a laboratory test to insure wearing
qualities."
"No wagon made is subjected to ai many tests or is more
carefully made than a Studebaker. You can buy them of Stude
baker dealers everywhere."
"Don't listen to the dealer who wants to cell you a cheap
wagon, represented to be 'just as good' as a Studebaker."
Farm wagons, trucks, dump wagons and carts, delivery
wagons, buggies, surreys, depot wagons and harness of all kinds

enacted one law requiring a physical

ho presented himself at the desk of
Cupid Coburn early Tuesday with
out tho physician's certificate which

is no factor of so great Importance
in a community as a public library.
It is a benefit not only to the indi

large. The public library is the one
place which welcomes every citizen
regardless of age, color, faith or de

the support he is seeking. A free

Marquette, Mich., May 31. Com
plete exoneration for Colonel Theo
dore Roosevelt, former president,
from charges of drunkenness made
against him in an editorial by George
Newett, editor of the Isphemlng,
Mich., Iron Ore, came here this af
ternoon when Newett, after Roose
velt's case was rested, took the wit
ness stand and made complete sur
render.
Newett read a long statement in
defending his mistake in charging
Roosevelt with drunkenness, insist
ing that he acted with no malice but
simply related in print allegations
he had heard by word of mouth and
without any actual knowledge of
their truth. His statement came at
once after the reading of a score of
depositions from prominent persons,
all of whom swore they had known
Roosevelt Intimately for years and
that he was a model of sobriety.

lieving the facts stated to be true
and believing as a publisher I owed
it to my readers to make the state
ments. Up to the time of publica
tion my information came through
persons who claimed to have knowl
edge of the statements made and I
went forward to verify those state
ments and to determine one witness
by whom they could be proven. Ad
ditional information afterward came
to me from various sections of the
country. I have been unable, how
ever, to locate or produce a witness
who will swear he has actually seen
Roosevelt drink to excess. It Is only
fair to the plaintiff to state that I
am unable to find any witnesses who
will swear to this.
"I'P to the time of this trial I be
lieved the statements published in
my article were true, but in the face
of unqualified testimony of many dis
tinguished men who have for years
been in a position to know the truth,
I am forced to the conclusion that I
was mistaken. I am unwilling to
continue to assert that Colonel
Roosevelt actually drank to excess.
As the publisher of a newspaper I
have never knowingly done injustice
to any man and neither I nor my at
torneys are now willing to make or
cotinue the assertion of an unjust
'charge. I propose at this time and
and believes It will have the hearty
support of all.
