Probably no other pioneer of thu valley has been linter known or more gcnernlly beloved. Hit full iiMiuc wiih Ifobeil Vinton lleall. He wiih bom in Montgomery county, Maryland, Juno lo, J8II1; wan of Scotch nnrcHtry. With hm parents ho moved to Siingnnion county, Illinois in IH.'tl. With his brother, Thomas. F. Heall. ho arrived nt Oregon City on the 18th day of duly, 1852. Thev had nuide tin trip with u six mule team from St. Joseph, Missouri, in 78 days. So far iin is known this is tint shortest time in Mliieh this tn was made liy any of the early settlers. Liko the other pioueerN, Mr. Itenll wiih drawn here by report of gold discoveries, and ho at once engaged in plaeor mining in .Josephine county. On September 127th, 18.72, he eamc across (ho mountains from Josephine county to Jacksonville, where he likewise engaged in milling. He has often Hiiid that his first view of the Itoujuo river valley was from the hills Imelc of Jacksonville and that it was the inont beautiful sight that he hail ever beheld. Ho and his brother Tom operated n pnektrnin from Oregon City to Jacksonville and teamed and freighted from Cnwcnt City, California to Jacksonville. At this time the boat Korvioo fi'om San Frnneiseo to Cres cent City and tho rivor transporta tion (o Oregon City offered the best means of transportation of supplies for tho valloy. Subsequently tho Ilcnll brothers nettled upon adjoining farms, near what is now tho town of Central Point. They had practically the en tiro valley from which to select, and they certainly made no mistake, Thoy throw their rail fciieeH around what is undoubtedly the most fertile and one of tho most beautiful spots in tho valley. On April It), 1801, Vinton llcn.ll was married to Ann Maria Kiddle at the farm now known as (Jlonhrnok, in Douglas county, Oregon. At this time he was ;i:i veins ago and his liridii wiih 17. They buve lived to gether for the past 51 year.". There mo two children, with the widow, surviving him, Mary Strang of Mod ford and Itobcrt Vinton Hcall, who lived with his pareutH at the old home. Vinton Heull was tho ideal type of tho ltoguo river valley pioneer. He whk n man of very strong convictions, outspoken, fearlei-H, and yet always kind and considerate of others. He was particularly progressive; he was one of the many pioneer contributors to tho expense incident upon Hen Holhday's first survey for tho Ore gon & California railroad through Jackson county. In tho earlier days of his activity he was prominently identified with every public movement and enterprise. He was a bundle of energy, and his good nature and good cheer endeared him to every one. He was a mint of very strong friendships and he always knew that his friends were right. In the pushing of thin Mrong race of pioneer men and wom en bo will be much missed. Hut he rounded out a full and useful life and leaves with all who had known him well, as sweet a memory a any who have gone before.

Let mo say that the contrary is the fact. Instead of an admission of the validity of the said pieteiided franchise, an argument cousumuu the major part of an hour was made on behalf of the city to the effect that the franchise was not valid and that the only rights which the California-Oregon Power company bad in the city were by virtue of suffer auce nud lis n mere licensee of the city.
