to Medford to establish her perma
nent home. Many compositions are
to her credit, among them was the
cborua of Tipperary.
For a long time the subjects taken
up at the forum have been strictly

fitting that during tho period when
most members have In mind some
recreational feature, that an Im

Jim Thompson, old-time telegrapher,
years since located at Yreka, and now
manager of the Postal branch offices
at the Ferry building in San Francisco,
grows reminiscent in a recent issue of
the Call over some ancient history,
notably circumstances connected with
the Modoc war and the execution of
Indians at Fort Klamath. At that time
Jacksonville was the nearest telegraph
station within reach of the fort, with
two roads leading to it. By way of
Ashland the distance was 120 miles,
and via the Rogue river road 135 miles.
However, there was an old mountain
trail which reduced the distance to 80
miles between the Fort and Jackson
ville. Thompson was selected to for
ward the reports for the California
Associated press, although' a number
of reimrters for rival eastern papers
were in the field. The mountain trail
was chosen, the distance of 80 miles
i.oinir covered hv three pony messen
ger relays in three flours and forty-five
minutes, to the discomfiture of runners
over the other routes. A few of the
nirt timers hereabouts remember
Thomnson. who is now 80 years old,
and has been a telegrapher for 60
years. Another interesting circum
stance relates to military matters of
that period. After Gen. Canby was
assassinated, and at the time of the
execution of the Indians, Gen. Jeff C.
Davis was In command. He was one
of Sherman's brigadiers, and early In
the civil war, in an altercation with a
superior officer, he shot Gen. Nelson
dead at the Ualt Mouse in ijouinvino,
Ky., being promptly acquitted by court
