SvefyVkaxth:- 0C T C0WG1LL-GIVES MUCH CASE WILL GO 10 FATHER OF LOCAL 'Mrs. Leona Roberts of thin city has received a loiter from George ,KsUs Of Cedarwoort, "Oregon, refuting an alienation' mucin In a recent article In. the Portland Orcgoniun, regm-iling her father, Jack Montgomery, a pio neer stage driver. ' The letter 1b tin follows: Mrs. Leona Roberts, Med ford, Ore., R. 3. box 1?G. Dear Madam: My sister. Mrs. Jokp lihlne Applegate, told me of a visit to you and that you are a. daughter of tho, famous stuge driver, Jack Mont gomery. Tho last time 1 saw him was in '71 or '72 when ho drove the Inst stage away from my father's stuge station at the foot of tho Kalapooya mountains, forty miles north of Rose burg. The railroad hud been com pleted from Portland to Roseburg and begun the operation of Its passenger trains at that time. 1 was about ten years old. ; I have just finished writing a book entitled "The Stagecoach" which is now being set up by tho printers and will be on sale shortly. In this book I have written up your father's life as a stage driver, setting him out, as I believe, to be tho most skilled stage driver that Oregon ever saw. I am writing you particularly today In regard to an article appearing In today's Sunday Oregonian, section 5, pago 10, about staging days in Ore gon. In the second column appears a statement to the effect that a driver named Montgomery, together with a hostler, robbed their own stage and fled. 'This is an aspersion on the name of your father. It is true that the stage driven by your father was robbed at the. time and place set out tn the article, all of which is told of In chapter XIII of "The Stagecoach", but so far from robbing the stage your father, fought and battled with one of tho road agents until his, your father's condition became almost too horrible to describe. All of the road agents who robbed the stage were afterwards caught and hanged. 1 know about it from personal know ledge and not from hearsay. 1 was a small boy at the time but my mem ory of your father's condition and of tho events is sharp as though it hap pened ytstordny, '-. If you care to refute this calumny upon your father's memory I shall be pleased to assist you in righting the wrong in any niantipr that you wish. My elder brother, Edwin, is still liv ing near Seattle. I think he would also be glad to assist you. ,;I am sending this letter on the bare chance that it will reach you. I remain your father's friend of a half: century agw; CSIdO ESTES. KIWANIS TALK LE I The principal speaker ut the Ki- "1 am u naiive I'omuiylvunlan. but ..mi..

Hth St., Philadelphia, Pa. Sold by druggists everywhere. sion. The speaker ja:a a msn uio ute to John Curxln, his ro -worker in the . house, and Senator Dunn. Mr. CowKill said in part: "There were 614 bills introduced in the lower house, 257 in the sen ate, 6 bills formerly vetoed, 17 house resolutions, 14 concurrent, 20 joini, resolutions and 14 Joint memorials. Members must read and study all' these bills and resolutions and bej prepared to vote on them as well a attend committee meetings day and niRht and the dally sessions of the legislature. "The rates for transportation on busses and trucks were increased at the request of the highway commis sion In order to help ' meet the in creased cost of maintenance of high ways, which Is becoming very ex pensive. The idea is that all users of the highways must pay tho costs. The governor promised to sign the bill, but did not and it became a law because he did not veto K. There are nowv38 millions of road bonds Issued and the amount will soon be 42 millions, the limit required by law nnd as a result it will be some time before road taxes will be reduced. Tho Jack son county delegation, while favor ing road buildjng, was very conser vative and fought to hold down taxes." The sneaker said his bill to re quire all highways to be made of cement, hereafter while it was not passed! was endorsed by a number (if peoplp anil organizations and brought out tho ' tact that black .top costs moro to maintain. He also referred to the recent supreme court' decision which requires this state to pay tho royalty on black top built several years ago, and amount ing to about $300,000. 'The Jackson county primary bill continued Mr, Cowgill, was by far tho most popular bill, but owing to the other bill being Introduced first. a lot of time devoted to it, and hav ing been killed, the local bill had a stormy career. It passed the house. however, nnd only lost by fivo votes in the senate. It will no doubt carry at the next session. "Other important bills passed af fecting us locally were the farmers' aid bill, Ashland normal and money f o r cou n ty fa 1 r prom i u ms, ''Regarding the coming oncanip- ment in June, of which 1 was asked to tell about, it Is not a statu mi litia encampment there is no state organization but a national guard encampment, where will be 2500 men in camp. And a $200,000 approprla tlon was made by congress to luy the expense. Med ford people will prove equal to the occasion and wel come tho men and take care of the civilians from all over tho state that will also be here as a result of the encampment." Itepresentative Carkin, who ad dressed the club, just before the session, was also called for. He com plimented his colleagues in the aes ion for their untiring and successful -work and told briefly of the passing of tho Big Kutte water bill estab lishing rights for Medford. the re establishment of tho Ashland nor imal, the farm aid bill allowing coun ty courts to discount the interest and penalty on taxes three years past due, if they so deem ft best, of $3000 per year for tho next two years to aid the county fair and said Jackson county delegation was har monious and brought homo, the ibacon, ' J.

"However the west Is very new as yet musically, but will sooji come into its own I believe." In an interview tbl:i forenoon the concert singer said; I am very much Impressed with Medford, and was im pressed by its apparent progress! ve- ness the moment I entered it. I feel that I am a competent judge as I have covered nearly all the states in the union, and In my work have entered all sorts of places and towns of all sizes." "The splendid lighting system gives your city the air of prosperity, and your chamber of commerce Is decid edly 'alive. Its hotels compare favor ahly with tlio.se of cities three times its size and id public buildings are substantial and imposing." ' The church in which T gave my concert IhsI evening, is without doubt one of the loveliest of its size that I have ever seen. What a joy it is to find a church that is dedicated to the entertainment and general happiness of its members. Aside from being most complete in its equipment, it is a lovely bit of architecture. The acous tics, a most necessary qualification to my' church or public building, are perfect, both to the listener and the singer or speaker. " I believe that .Medford has splendid prospects and I shall remember it in time to come as one of the most hos pitable places that 1 havo ever visited."

Smart in his complaint sets forth that he was cranking a car on July 7. 10 24, and sustained a "fractured of the rndia of the right arm. and a fractured os magnus of the wrlsl ." He went to Dr. Kwedenburg, he as serts, and the doctor is alleged to have treated the radia but not the os magnus. He carried his arm in splints for two weeks, nnd in a plaster cast for four weeks, he says. Smart alleges that as u result of the alleged "negligent, careless, reckless and unskilled actions and acts, "his right arm, wrist, and hand is crooked, deformed, and crippled, and ever will be." Attorney. George M. Roberts ap pears as counsel for Smart. L IS The sermon 'by Evangelist John Stivers at the Christian church lat night was listened to by a large au dience. Hissubiect lilut I lug tin: Preacher," was a plain survey of the attitude of people who are not Chris tiana. Mr. Stivers said that God had purposed to save the world by "the foolishness of preaching," not by "preaching foolishness," for the Good Father ban given the message thru his Son. who. had all authority and is author and finisher of the faith which saves the world. Jf a man preaches tho gospel and the people hear it, receive -it and obey it, they are doing the will of God; if they re.iect, they are not "bluffing the preaching." but rejecting the coun sel of. God. "Tonight Mr. Stivers wilt speak upon the subject "Faith In Action." This will be the beginning of a se ries of four sermons which present In detail the scriptural plan of sal vation.
