Hasklns for health.
William Koblnson, who was among
tho first arrivals in southern Oregon,
and who was prominently identified
with tho early events in southern
Oregon, such as digging gold, fight
ing Indians, and other Hko stunts
which tho pioneer did, not because ho
wanted to, but because it was neces
sary tnat ho should, Is visiting In
Mcdford.
"Uncle Billy," as ho is known to
many of tho residents of southern
Oregon, suffered a stroke af paralysis
two years ago, but oven with this
handicap is still cheerful and Inter
ested in tho progress of tho valley.
"It is almost beyond belief," ho
said to a Mall Trlbuno reporter,
"that this valley should bocomo what
it now is during tho fow years that It
has been on tho upward grade. When
I first saw it the floor of tho val
ley was a waving field of grass, in
some places so tall that it stood high
er than tho back of a horse. Occa
sionally a cabin and a piece of cleared
ground could bo seen, and tho groves
of oaks and pines mado as beautiful
a sight as ono wished to look upon.
It didn't seem possible to us in those
days, the early 60s, that thoro woro
enough people in tho world who could
cross the plains or over the seas and
make this valloy anything except a
frontier settlen nt. For a long tlmo
the country remained in a pastoral
state. One man grew torses, another
cattle, and still another grain. Tho
old fashioned grist mill was estab
lished and tho farmer hauled bis
wheat to mill and came back with
the flour, bran and shorts, ground
from his own wheat. There was
plenty of gold being taken from the
placers all around, and the man who
had extra produce, grain, fle3h, fowl
or vegetables, found a good market.!
Those were the halycon days of tho
pioneers and w i certainly enjoyed ev
erything to tho full."
