"Curio Vint Honl)" died Siiturduy
morning, July 17, nt his homo near
Central 'Point, where lie has lived
i'or practically mi oven hull' century,
llu wns in his 8.rth yenr. 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.
The funeral sorvicos will bo held
from the family losidrnoe, Monday
afternoon at 2:1)0 o'clock, the Nov. W.

Citizens of Medford in nius meet
ing assembled met nt the Nittutorium
Friday evening, and took the first
steps Inwards the adoption of the
Medynski plan for the icbonding of
the city, to pay for city pining', A
committee composed of J. A. Perry,

Fehl. and Delloy (Jctehell was iiiinied.
They Will report at the next regular
meeting of the council Tuesday even
ing, when it is likely steps towards
putting the pronosul in ordinance
form will he taken.
Attorney Porter J. N'eff spoke in
opposition to the plan, and though un
endorsed, his arguments gave good
food for thought. He said he be
lieved the bonds could not be issued
without securing a supreme court de
cision first, lie suggested a com
Itroiuise between the old system nud
tho one advanced liv Councilman
Medynski. Attorney Noff nroposed
to pay the paving indebtedness
through general Invation, and make
the balance an obligation of the en
tire city upon the holder of the
bonds agreeing to extend the time
ten years.
To those taxpayers who had pn'd
their assessments in full he favored
instead of refunding the money giving
certificates to be accepted by the city
for paypient of tnxes on the proper
ly, while to those who hud puid up to
date, instead of refunding he favored
applying the amount paid to cancel
ling the remainder of the obligation.
F. J, Newman said the bonds
would be legal, and that the plan
should be carried out. K. II. Fehl
said he paid his assessment while
others near him, owned uutos, yet
bulked nt paying.
Delroy Cletclifll and W. II. (lore,
bunkers said in their opinion a ready
Hale could be found for the bonds.
Ous Newbury, llert Anderson, II. C.

favor of the rebuilding.

"A few nijliutes before that, how
ever, wo saw u small sailing ship just
ahead of idt , Shu had two American
flags painted on the side that with
turned to iih. She was broadside to
us and seemed to be beating up the
wind, Wo could m-o her over the
bows.
"Captuin Taylor apparently be
came suspicious of this bout. We
noticed that the course of the ship
was immediately changed so that the
little vessel ahead would be given a
wide berth."
Thomas II. (Irahiiiu of Liverpool,
one of the passengers on deck at the
time, interrupted Ha ion ltoseu
kraut to expioss his firm conviction
that the sailing vosol was hiding u
submarine behind her.
Saw Torpedo Coining
"We passed the sailing ship at a
considerable distaiu'e. Having done
this, most of us forgot her," Harou
itoseukrautx continued, "A few min
ute after we had left her behind,
looked through my glasses nud saw
a white streak coming tluougli the

a streak, such as the wake of a tor

hut the ipiestiou wan soon settled.
"It was a torpedo. We could see
it coming at high speed. When it up

"It passed more than ten vaid

ADMITTED
To the l-Mitnr:
My attention was i
ailed last even-
iug to an article in your columns to
the effect that the validity of the
California-Oregon Power companv'-'
pretended franchise in the city of
Medford was admitted bv the coun
cil for the city in the trial had be
fore Judge Wolvortou last Monday.
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.
A 2 1 pave brief was also filed as
serting substantially the same argu
ments, with uiithnulicx cited, sup
porting the position taken bv the
city.
Very truly vouis,
