Sometime during the night the "boys,” as they were called, hoist ed a petticoat at half mast on the flag pole in front of the express office. It was a modest-looking garment, possibly intended as a flag of truce, but to the ladies it was like a red flag in the face of a bull. Some of the ladies discussed the situation and two of them, armed with a pepper box and an axe, marched to the foot of the pole determined to take down the garment. Men gathered around, some in bad temper. One of the ladies demanded that they haul down these colors. There was no rP-Mponiu» fchn dem&Ad WB* made a second time, accompanied by a vigorous blow from the axe. which made the pole quiver.

In the year 1855 the Table Rock Sentinel was established by T’- Vault, Taylor and Blakely. It was the first newspaper, small in size, and its stand on public opinion and events soon gave it consider able influence. The first issue ap peared on November 24, 1855, when it asserted itself on all sub jects and devoted its columns to the interests of southern Oregon. In 1857 the Jacksonville Herald was established by Beggs and Burns. In 1861 O’Meara and Pom eroy took over the Herald and started the Southern Oregon Ga zette. which ran for only a few months, followed by the Civilian, which also was short-lived. In 1863 TVault established the Intelligencer, and it died in less than a year. In 1865 P. J Malone started the Oregon Reporter and in a few years its name was changed to the Southern Oregon Press. In the year 1869 P. D. Hull and Charles Nickell started the Democratic News and in 1872, just when its success was assured, the plant was destroyed by fire. Money was raised, a new plant secured and the Democratic Times was started by Charles Nickell, which paper outlived the combined lives of all the other papers. In the year 1860 the wagon road to Crescent City, Calif., was opened to travel, and prices in Jacksonville were reduced. It was the end of pack trains in favor of freight wagons. For the previous 10 years everything had been packed in on mule-back. A semi weekly stage line was started by Cluggage and Drum and a steady flow of travel was the result. Merchandise that could not be packed in by mules now was trans ported with ease at immense sav ings. The California Stage com pany had received a contract to carry the United States mail from Sacramento to Portland, and on July 1 had put on a four-horse daily stage between these points, and as the time schedule was 13 days, many a weary passenger welcomed the hospitality of Jack sonville’s hotels. ----------- •------------ We cringe to think of what next century folk will say about us boobs who messed things up the first half of this one.—Weston Leader, J’VILLE JUDILEE GROUP TACKLES WORK FOR FETE Special Committees Told to Tie Into Work; Called Meeting Set for Friday Night in CofC Hall 7:30 With the admonishment that they should "tie right into their particular tasks," Vice President E R. White opened a called meet ing of members of the Jacksonville Diamond Jubilee committee Mon day night in Chamber of Com merce rooms here, and outlined generally accomplishments ex pected of the various groups which will prepare Jacksonville for vis itors and entertain the thousands of guests expected within a few days. Special attention was given dur ing the meeting to an outline of work for various committees and necessary improvements about the city, including decoration, clean ing up of streets and vacant lots, marking of public buildings of spe cial interest during Jubilee week, and other details of Jacksonville's share in the six-day tribute to Ore gon's entrance into the union as a state 75 years ago. A group of Medford representatives were present at the meeting to work with local officials, and included Jubilee Manager E. E. Marsh. Decorations Chairman John Mof fatt and Harry Parkinson, agent for the official Jubilee decorating company. Plans to date include, in the main, organization of reception guide service, a governors’ day— on Thursday of jubilee week— when speakers will address crowds from a special platform to be con structed on the courthouse grounds here, nightly dances, op eration of an old-time gambling den in the U. S. hotel, opening of museums and historic buildings during the week, a baseball game between Medford’s Rogues and the Jacksonville Miners for June 7 and special demonstrations of gold mining, during which time real col ors will be washed out in several of the many sluice boxes scattered about the downtown section. Mon day's meeting was the starting gun for work on these various un dertakings, and another special meeting has been ordered for this Friday evening (May 18) for 7:30 o'clock in C. of C. room, at which time committee members and all other interested citizens are ur gently requested to be present, that final two weeks preparations will not lag behind schedule. Harold Reed was added to the concessions committee, headed by Ray Wilson and including Joe B. Wetterer, Jacksonville Diamond Jubilee committee secretary. Local interest in the coming event has been increasing rapidly during past few days, and many townspeople, entering in to the spirit of the occasion, have been lying awake nights thinking up angles and stunts to work during the week of entertainment and re turn to the glamorous days that made Jacksonville famous as one of the west’s most perfect host cities. ----- •----- Miner Out Day Soon This is election week in Ore gon and, as a consequence.
