There is general condemnation of tho Uolslieviki. The term lias
come to represent individuals who favor tearing down the founda
tions of good government, in the hope of lining their own pockets
from the resulting chaos.
This is the extreme and dramatic representation of the term. But
a no less genuine Bolshevik, is the man who cares so little uhout the
government, that he will not take the trouble to go to the polls on
Election day, and register his will; regarding it.
i At the primary election in Jackson county only about 35 voters
in every hundred, exercised their, dearly bought right of franchise.
When one easts a glance over the pages of history, and notes the end

finally gain this privelege, this apathy and indif f'erenco in a so-called

SCIENCE AND PROGRESS
F AR BACK in inter-glacial days, when life had' few if any
charms, our rude forefathers' went their ways, tho clubs they
, bore their, only arms. These clubs were shapeless limbs of trees,
picked up from the ground in forests dense; there wero no guns
. or snickersnees or other weapons of offense. And when a man
. went forth to slay an ox or bear for his repast, ho had to pound
away all day, before, tho critfer 'breathed its last. It took long
hours to kill a pig, and twieo tho time to kill a cow; tho waste of
effort was so big it gives mo fantods, even now. But lo, a great
idea strikes tho leader of a savage elan, and in his club ho places
spikes, this scientist, this super-man. Ho goes a-hunting with a
smile, and with ono blow, of proper zest, he slays the roaring croc
odile, or knocks'tho warthog galley west. And doubtless many
I foolish dubs knocked his invention as a shamo, and plied their
shapeless, spikeless. olubs,- because their fathers did tho same,

HOW TO REDUCE
VARICOSE VEINS
Many people have become despon
dent because thoy have been led to
believe that there Is no remedy that
will reduce swollen veins nnd bunches.
If you will get a two-ounce original
bottle of. Moone's Emerald Oil (full
strength) at any first class drug store
nnd apply it at homo as directed, you
will quickly notice an Improvement
which V.T1T Continue Otitll the- Veins
and bunches are, reduced to normal.
Moone's Kinerald Oil Is very con
centrated and' a bottle lusts a long
'tlriie-that's why it is a most inexpen
sive tretment; It has brought much
comfort to worried people nil over
the country. and Is one of the won
derful discoveries of recent, years and
always bear in mind that anyone who
I.' disappointed with Its use can have

"I was born in Ray county, Missouri,
September 2, 1845," said Judge William
M. Colvig, when 1 visited him recently
at his home In Medford. "My father,
William Lynga Colvig, was born at
Leesburg, Va., September 19, 1814. My
mother, whose maiden name ' was
Helen Woodford, -was born at Hart
ford, Conn. My father's father, Jacob
Lynga Colvinge, was born in Paris.
His father, Jean Baptiste Colvinge,
married Zelesta Lynga, the daughter of
a Greek sea captain. She was born in
Athens. My grandfather, Jacob h. Col
vinge, served as a soldier under Bona
parte. They were sent to the island of
San Domingo to quell a slave insurrec
tion. In those days Hi'itannia ruled the
waves and, not wanting to be captured
by the English, Jerome Bonaparte,
with my grandfather and other French
soldiers, came to America.
"Jerome Bonaparte was the young
est brother of Napoleon. He was born
in 1784. On December 27, 1803, he
married Elizabeth Patterson, one of
the belles of Baltimore. His marriage
was more or less of a tragedy, as Na
poleon refused to recognize It. He
made his brother Jerome king of West
phalia. His Ufa was a stormy one. Na
poleon refused to recognize . his mai
rlage to Elizabeth Patterson and com
pelled him to marry Catherine,. daugh
ter of King Frederick I of Wurttem
burg. With the fall of Napoleon, he
went to Switzerland. Napoloou's re
turn from Elba resulted In Jerome's be
ing made a peer. With Napoleon's do
feat at Waterloo, he went to Switzer
land and later to Florence, where he
lived in exile for the next 30 years. Ills
petition to return to France, in 1847,
was denied by the chamber of peers.
However, he was later allowed to re
turn to his native country, where he
died in 1800. There was born to Jer
ome Bonaparte and Elizabeth Patter
son a son, who was named Jerome
Napoleon. He wa born in 1805 and
died in 1870. One of his sons, Charles
Joseph . Bonaparte, became a well
known and successful lawyer of Balti
more and was a member of Roosevelt's
cabinet.
' "My grandfather,' Jacob Lynga Col
vinge, settlsd at Leesburg, Va., where
he married Winifred Hoffman. He
became an American citizen. In mak
ing out his naturalization papers the
clerk by accident wrote his name Col
vig instead of Cojvlnge, so our family
name became Colvig Instead of Col
vinge. My father. William Lynga Col
vig, married Helen , Mnr Woodford,
whoso people caiua to America from
iianbuiy, England, in 1740. In looking
over my mother's family tree I found
tho- following relatives served In the
Revolutionary war: Abel, Aula?, Enoch
Isaac, Jonah, Joseph, Judah, Moah,
Samuel, Selah and Zebulon Woodruff.
You see my mother's mother was a
Woodruff. She married a Woodford.
"My father and mother met in Ohio,
where they were married In 1830. From
Ohio they, moved to Richmond, Mo.
That was in 1844. I was born there the
following year. Jesse James was also
born there, and was about a year old
when I was born. His people were
very fine people. .Bad companionship
when he was a boy led Jesse James
astray.
"There were 10 of us children, Moth
er felt she ought to have enough to
make It worth while, so she took three
of her brother's children. Their moth
er died when thoy wero crossing the
plains, so mother reared these children
and they were the same as our broth
ers and sisters. This made 11 boys
and two girls in our family. Of these
11 children three are still alive. My
brother Volney lives at Ashland, my
brother George at Grants Pass, and 1
live here in Medford. ' We left Park
ville, Mo., May C, 1851. We hart two
wagons. Our provision wagon and
throe yoke of oxen, and the family
wagon and two yoke. We reached The
Dalles October 5. We left our heavy
wagon at Fort Hall, on account 6f los
ing some of our cattle. Mother and
the children came down the Columbia
In canoes with Indian rowers. At the
foot of the Cnscade rapids they trans
ferred to the steamer Lot Whltcoinb.
We were met at Portland by Tom Car
ter, who took us to his home, which at
that time was one of the best in Port
land. His daughter Nancy married
Lafayette Grover, later Governor Gro
ver of Oregon. She now lives in Port
land. In the winter of 1S51 I went to
school In Portland to John Outhouse.

T1IOS. I, TEMPliR. Medford
We had left father at The Dalles. He
was going to bring the cattle down the
trail. For five weeks we thought he
was dead, as we heard nothing of him.
He had been caught by a heavy snow
storm In the Cascades, and all but
three of our oxen starved to death. .
"A man who had a donation land
claim in East Portland said to father,
i ll give you my claim for your two
oxen, your light wagon and your Ken
tucky rifle.' Father said, "I haven't
come from across the continent to Bet
tie in the dense forest.'. So he turned
the offer down. Father put In that win
ter working in a sawmill. The next
spring we , struck out for California.
Our team played out at Canyonvllle,
so father took up a ciuim where the
team lay down on him. This was in
the summer: of 18JH.' Another man had
squatted on the- claim, but was willing
to relinquish his rights for $50; so
father paid him $50. for his 040-acre
claim.
"I look back upon my boyhood as a
very happy time, for In those days the
whole country was full of deer, elk and
smaller game, whilo the streams were
full of trout and salmon. I went to
school to Rufus Mailory in 1862. Later
I went to school to I. N. Choynakl, This
teacher was a rather timid man. He
was no fighter. The larger boys in
school threw him out of the window
and kicked him out of the school yard,
so our school quit before the term was
half over. His son Joe was of a very
different type, for Joe Choynskl be
came a famous prize fighter.
"I enlisted on April 5, 1SG3, in Com
pany C, First Oregon volunteer cav
alry. Company C was recruited at
Jacksonville. Colonel C. S. Drew was
In command' of the regiment. We went
to Klamath lakte where, in the summer
of 1S03 we built Fort Klamath. In
the summer of 1864 we rode across
country to Fort Boise, returning that
fall. I spent part ot the summer of
1865 nt Fort Douglas, In Utah, on de
tached service. When we came back
to Fort Klamath, In tho fall of 1805,
Captain F. B. Sprague, who had been
looking for a better route across the
Cascades, told us he had seen a won;
derful lake. One of his men while
hunting had glimpsed Crater Lake.
Dad Ross, our guide, a most excellent
guide but a very Illiterate man, said, 'I
hearn tell of that there lake way back
in 1852, from Hillman, but I ain't never
seen it.' The following Sunday, which
was early in October, about 25 of us,
on horseback, went up Anna Creek
canyon and reached the rim ot the
lake at about where Crater Lodge now
Is. Colonel John E. Ross was with us.
He said, 'Hillman stayed at my house
and told me about this lake, but I
didn't believe it.' Hillman died a year
or two ago in Louisiana. We named
the lake Lake Majesty, though some of
the men wanted to call it Mystic lake.
However, later it was named Crater
lake." Fred Lockley in tho Portland
Journal.
