MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. ftfEDFOTCD. OUKHON. MONDAY. JULY 17.
PACE TTTRTTTC
PUTS UP $500 TO
ASHLAND. July 17. For years
tlllH town had a vision of calvacade of
fiaddle ponies, tourist-mounted; bent
on a pilgrimage to the summit of
Mt. Ashland, with local livery centers
aR' an outfitting point, and Long's
cutjln as a sort of half-way station on
the, outing trip. Hut saddle ponies
were not always availahle. hence a
contemplated tour of mountain sur
roundings was frequently a disap
pointment due to means of trans
portation, the hike on ark afoot basis
being a somewhat formidable one as
rvlewed from town precincts as a
starting point, probably 15 miles
from municipal boundaries to the old
mountain's summit. This prevailing
condition was a handicap, the incur
tJon into mountain fastnesses being
sporadic. With the dawn of the
motor car, exit the saddle pony and
enter the more speedy auto convey
ance. -Nevertheless, the "division ter
minal" remained nt Long's Cabin,
from which point the trip to thy sum
mit, some five or six miles in extent,
V.as made either on horse or on foot.
Some eight or ten years since, with
the dawn of federal assistance In'be
lmlf of our national park resorts, the
sum of $10,000 was appropriated for
the building of a roadway up the
mountainside, the grade of which is
In nowise '. or anywhere, difficult.
Under the' 'provisions of this appro
prlationc.'about two or three miles of
good substantial, roadway was com
pleted. Financial ' depressions fol
lowed, and then the advent of the
V world war placed an effective quietus
not only upon' national park, exten
sions, but also insofar as the erection
of a government building proper in
the city of Ashland. 1 concerned.
This much is ancient history.
In the meantime all reference to
the mountain . road, as built under
government auspices, ' was well nigh
forgotten, and our community In
connection therewith resolved itself
Into a sort of lethargic, halcyonic
spirit, reflecting, the status of the
uuiet, the peaceful ' and the undis
turbed, following traditions as exem
plified by the- "watchful waiting"
policies of Wqodrow the I. Here end
eth the first lesson.' '
Now enters Jesse Wlnburn, capi
talist, also- promoter in the strict
sense of the term. Noting the advan
tageous location of Long's ranch nnd
the possibilities of the, site, as afford
ing an ideal refuge in the way of a
mountain home, he purchased the
property, installing building opera
tions and other notable Improve
ments with a lavish hand, the extent
4 of which are manifestly evident to
the scores of vtsitors who have been
Ibo hospltnbly :ehtertnined at this
ommodimis lodge, chateau or chalet.

whichever term one sees fit to apply
to it. Winburn hus seen the pos.si
bilities aeeruins to Ashland in the
way of un auto hiKhway reaching to
the mountain's summit, and Is ready
both morally and financially to back
this enterprise to the limit, regardless
of any government subsidy, and
where he leads, others are found who
are willing to follow, thus encourag
ing the local chamber of commerce
to expedite the completion of an
enterprise, which has been moribund
for many years. Without any condi
tions imposed, Mr. Winburn has con
tributed KtOO in behalf of this pro
ject, n pledge duly seconded by C. H.
Pierce of this city in a like amount.
Nearly three miles of mountain trail,
over a comparatively easy grade, re
main to be completed in order to link
up the highway sections to the sum
mit. This project in its entirety will
incorporate about 25 miles of scenic
driveways in this locality, a system
which will be a splendid one. Early
this week another gathering of good
roads enthusiasts, including county
officials, forest service representa
tives, reinforced by an engineer or
two, met at Sap-and-Sult to discuss
these measures, incident to an outing
at this popular reort where v hospi
tality reigns supreme as dispensed by
one of the most genial of hosts.
Is Ashland's vision about to be
realized? " .

PEKING, July 17. (By the Asso
ciated Press) A majority of the
Chinese newspapers consider that a
grave crisis has arisen as a result of
internal disorders. They urge that
parliament assemble promptly and
that President 1.1 Yuan-Hung exer
cise drastic measures to exterminate
the militarists who are declared to
he fomenting trouble with a view to
making the Peking government help
less to overthrow them.
Prominence -is given in -the news
papers to reports from Chekiang con
cerning the movement for a southern
confederacy comprised of Chekiang.
Fukien and Kwantung provinces to
consolidate the opponents of the Pe
king government.
Referring to Dr. Sun Yat Son's re
fusal to leave Kwangtung the war
between rival militarists of Szech
wan, the fighting in Kiangsi and
Changtso-Lln's reviving" strength in
manchuria, the newspapers unani
mously insist that the crisis demands
that President Li YuanHung act
without delay.
EAGLE POINT EAGLETS
A. C. Howl.lt
divulge the names of any of the party
I am going to try to give a brief out
line of some of the- trials they have
had to undergo in this world of trouble,
sorrow, nnd woe. The head of the
family settled on and took a homestead
on a tract of land a few miles from
Butte Falls and in the course of hu
man events they were blessed with a
family of eight children, one son and
seven daughters, and during the time
of their early childhood the husband
was taken down with Brlghts disease
that rendered him almost a confirmed
invalid, and in the course of a short
time he succumbed to the dreaded dis
ease leaving a widow to care for, pro
vide for and educate their children.
The whole family had been taught to
do anything that was to be done in the
line of farm industry and the result
was those of them who could went to
work, their mother taking the lead and
the children catching the spirit of the
mother turned everything they could
toward making a living.
They had accumulated some stock so
that they were supplied with milk, and
hogs to make their own meat and at
that time the shake (clapboard) indus
try afforded a very good medium thru
which they could procure the necessi
ties of life. But what could a widow
with eight children do, and if I remem
ber right but very few if any In their
teens, but the heroine of this story
laughed at impossibilities and went
ahead to meet the trials of life, with
the assistance she could procure from
the oldest children she resorted to the
same source of revenue that the ster
ner sex did; she started with her saw
and ax into the timber and soon had a
few thousand shakes ready for the
market, but to sell them at the stump
would bring but a small price, so she
loaded them onto her wagon and she
and her little boy braved the mountain
roads, that at that time mere merely
cow trails cleared so that a wagon
could get through, and it was not an
principally flour or seed grain, shoes,
d goods, for she taught the girls to,
make their own clothes, and the three
months they had school they attended
school, and thus she provided for, edu -

cnted, and trained them so that she
has reason to be proud of such a family
and the family not only fort proud of
such a' mother but fairly idolize her
and make it a rule to have a reunion at
least every two or three years although
they are widely separated, as the
reader will see by perusing the re
mainder of this article.
I wish to state here that I have as
sumed the responsibility of giving the
foregoing outline of the family history
to show the kind of people we had
living in Jackson county at that time
fifty years ago. But before 1 leave this
subject 1 wish to state that the chil
dren all lived to mature years and from
all appearances are living happy lives.
The reunion was arranged to be held
at the Sunnyslde including dinner on
Tuesday, so that all could meet on
Wednesday, and nbout ten o'clock they
began to arrive, among whom were
Mrs. F. M. Stewart of Medford, former
ly Mrs. Martin Perry, followed by Mrs.
Harriet E. Allen of Seattle, Wash., Mr.
and Mrs. Perry, Alfred Howies, SKi
Uane, Wash., Mr. and Mrs. (Lottie)
Norman McQuoid and damrliter Norma,
Oakland, Calif., Elizabeth B. Wetthers
and daughter Eva, Siiokano, Wash.,
Mrs. Delia Day, Yakima, Wash., Mrs.
Nettie Grover and daughter rtuth,
Medford, William Perry and wife,
Eagle Point, Miss I.uclle Newport, a
niece of Mr. and Mrs. Win. Perry, of
Astoria, Ore.
There was only one thing that threw
a shadow over the entile proceedings,
nnd Hint was the vacant chair that was
filled by the daughter and sister Emma
nt the last reunion, who passed away
a few months ngo.
But taking everything into account
the reunion was as pleasant an affair
as one witnesses In an age. Grandpa
William Green Knighton was a special
honored guest, by special invitation of
the families, being a time honored
friend of the six sisters and brother as
well as a warm friend of the mother.
In addition to the foregoing we had
as guests on the occasion Carl Nnrre
gnn and his son, formerly of this place
but now 1 think of Sams Valley, and
three fine looking Indies who boasted
of being able to resist the charms of
the sterner sex and rejoiced In the fact
that they were "old maids." They gave
their names as Edna McGruw, Elra
McGrnw and Geraldlne McGraw of
Oakland, Calif. They were traveling
alone on their way to Crater lake.
We also had as guests John 11. Hyde
a- stranger, besides quite a number' of
others whose names I failed to secure.
W. W. Parker and Mr. Duprey, the
sawmill man five miles west of Butte
Falls on the P. & E. railroad, were pas
sengers on the Butte Falls stage Wed
nesday. Thw day the big sixteen pas
senger coacn was so loaded as to
necessitate butting on an extra car.
Mr. Parker had been over to Weed to
visit his son and daughter. His son is
working at that place.
W. G. and John Averill came in
about 10:b0 a. m., Wednesday, re
mained until the cool of the afternoon.
They had brought out a load of fir
poles for a man In Medford to be used
in building a barn, a fine substitute for
sawed lumber. And Ills' brother John
being in poor headth went in on the
stage. They both spent the night In
Medford.
There is getting to be a vast amount
of travel over the road between here
and Butte Falls as the stage is gener
ally loaded, seldom less than five and
from that to ten or twelve besides
about all the mail, parcel post, freight
and babage, In fact that rate onparcel
post Is so low now that the people In
the hills can now send their heavy
Btuff cheaper than they can haul It by
team, but it makes It tough on the mail
carriers.
Bert Brittson was rushing around
over town Thursday ns though every
moment counted dollars.
Mrs. Helen E. Lange of Eugene, who
had been visiting Mrs. Ralph Watkins,
came out Thursday morning on the
Persist stage from one of the camps
along the banks of Rogue river where
she had been visiting with friends and
stopped at the Sunnyslde, going out on
tue afternoon stage, 2:45, intending to
spend the night In Medford and taking
.the morning train. She Is a young
lady who has traveled extensively, has
!a fine memory and can tell In a very
interesting manner of what she lias
seen. She has traveled extensively in
Alaska and her description of the nor
thern lights as they are seen there is
truly wonderful.
We also had the pleasure of the com
pany of Mrs. Smith, the wife of S. S.
Smith, the business manager of the
Medford Publishing company, who is
an important factor of the Medford
Mail Tribune, and Mrs. D. II. Wood of
Medford. They are breaking away
from the established rule of ladies
traveling and travel on horseback and
while here related some of the hard
ships they had to undergo in securing
hay for their horses when they reached
their summer camp. They rode up to
barn well filled with hay and asked
the privilege of having their horses
fed overnight but met with a positive
refusal, but the owner finally agreed
to let them have a grain sack full each
so they went to work to fill the sacks
while there were husky men sitting
nbout who watched them wait on
themselves. After spending the night
they started on the return trip and
stopped at the Sunnyslde for dinner,
spending the afternoon along the
banks of Littlo llutto creek, going
home in tho cool of the evening.
