'"Hike the Jfeekrmm bank away
from Jacksonville?" she asked,
atemptlns t picture the effect hi
her own mind., ".No Urn fieek

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

, "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
