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,

ladies demanded that they haul

which made the pole quiver. Dr.

agreed to hand down the hateful
petticoat and the women marched
off in triumph, irregardless of the

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.

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.
