The nutter brought nik-at the. 9, ton:, tiiiub and at the Ventral' OiviV iouneil recently by K. K. "White, Uiresldent of the .hu-ksonvil!- p t-hamber of commerce has turned pne attention of .ivufotd to the gHKnifumnc-e of (he 'eolorful old land-niark as an historical point h? interest.

'"Hike the Jfeekrmm bank away from Jacksonville?" she asked, atemptlns t picture the effect hi her own mind., ".No Urn fieek mun would never let thent do that. Jie Is too loyal to Jacksonville. Why the lieekman, banking hoiii is Jacksonville.1 It would bo just like disturbing the hones of the ! pld pioneers burirri uj thcro on the hill," she said. s . - Miss McCuliy, who 'as a child, jiiayed up and "down' the historic ld street, recalled some colorful J ciilsodes of the old. days and es V jfAc-Ially . those Saturday, nfi;bts when . iho miners crowded . iht-stre-t in front of her home on their Way to deposit the K"Mph res tr Its of sevemr days work i t he Ueek ma n va u ! t. , "Hanking was considerably dif ferent in those days," mused' John t.rth, who also spent his by - -hood in Jacksonville, "and the 1 Seek man hanking house, as t stands there in its original set ting, is a valuable study of tiie evolution of this line of business,'' Ho paused a moment and thought back into the, activities of those days. "Did you notice the old bench, upon which the ambitious patron,'; cut their individual notch es?'' - Kvoryone considered it his own property. "Finally -r. Mr, Jleekman had to have it nailed to the floor to keep someone from carrying it off." iie smiled nnd added, ''one of the. monuments Jo early day honesty." ' ' a. -W. If, flore; "The old Beeknmn .Ranking house tielongs to south ern Oregon, and should be pr perved intact. It is one of tho ouistanding relics of Kogue Ulver valley business. No one else if tis much interested in It as we Are, and Its contents would mean JiUle or nothing in another set ting." Mr. Gore, who was born vHhln seven miles of -Jacksonville, like other residents be thought himself of the humorous aspects of the old bank, and call ed attention to the fart that the patrons in the old days didn't hesitate to step up and start whit tling on the counter. The local blink president added that he pledged his cooperation In the ef fort being made to preserve the old land mark for southern Ore gon, because it "fits in with ev ery, .effort to memoraiize the early days.", .Attorney Gus Xewhury, who in the early days taught school In Jacksonville declared that the Beekman bank nnd its contents were "distinctly of Interest to Southern 'Oregon and should be kqnt there. It is of Interest not only to, the old pioneers them selves, but to their children nnd grund-chiidren, as well as to his tory students In the schools of southern Oregon." That a large nortion of the Sacksonvlllo museum collection was made by Herman Helms, whose children and grand-children still, live here, was a statement made by Mr. Newbury. Tho. old bank for ninny years was under the name of "Beek man and Heames." Thomas G. neames, father of Kvnn nnd Charles Beanies of Medford be ing an associate. One of the oarliest recollections of the lat ter Is standing beside his father in the hank watching him 'weigh out- gold on the old scales which still stand in a case on the coun ter. Needless to say be too would feel a personal loss in the remov al -of the old bank to Portland, as would John Wilkinson and The older native sons of the historic town. f . John. C. Mann: "The retention ot tho museum and tho Heekimin hanking .house in Jacksonville gives this country one of its great est attractions for tourists. I, personally have taken count If- visitors, from the east and from othti states to Jacksonville, nnd pve never failed to receive a rval response to the relics over "here.
