Mail Tribune of tho sturdy pio
noorw, who crossed the lhains to
Orojiuu when Studebakrr Avagons

west over "The Ilig Trail? are 'in
.Tho coUnty tax h'vy for j
will be practically theHame as lunt j
year, perhaps a fractional mill
lcris, nccorrting to 'figures set forth j
in the tentative budget, which is !
.schedule for a public hearing
Thursday, December 11.
Last year the county tax was
11,6 mills, and th state tax was
5.4 mills, making a total of 10.4
mills for state and county levy.
Owing to tho titanic muddle in
slate finances, it is figured that
the state tax wilt be raised about
two mills. This would mako the
state and county mllluge between
18 and .19 hillls, and bring the
Medford millage to about tiO mills.
. Increase In the valuation of the
county, according to members of
tho county court, has "taken up
the slack," and the county levy
Is well within the hIx per cent limi
tation law.
Thc budget committee In its de
liberations, took cognlzanco of the
tl own ward 'prices of foodstuffs and
clipped 11000 off the cost of feed
ing county jail prisoners.
Indigents Benefit
' Allowances from the county in
digent fund were clipped lust July
10 percent,, The purported 20 per
c'o'nt decline iy the cost of food
stuffs, how effective, reverts to
the benefit of the unfortunates.
This policy enables the county to
keep within the Indigent fund,
a It ho the appeals have increased.
Most of those on the long list are
residents of Jackson county, and
the transient aid Is the lowest in
many months.
Pay vouchers for county work
er's were, signed today by the coun
ty court, and steps taken to pay
all bills between now and January
1, so as to stfart -H.hejXew Year with
a clean sheet. t

Stories jf Indian b.attles. starva

occurred while emigrant trains
wound their way through moun
tains and. arid plains toward the
virgin soil of the west, have been
told and retold by the eager
groups .-who have visited this of

It Is a story of romance that
Allen 'W. Bish And his wife, Mrs.
Ad la' Dish, tell. Komance that has
lived through more thyn 50 yiar
of marriage, for they recently cel
ebrated their golden Wedding day.
Mr. and Mrs. Dish are natives
Of Iowa. The spirit which stirred
m a ny f o re fa the rs of the west to
take the trait and seek a new
country came'lo their rathers dur
ing the sumo year. . And the two
families,, unknown to each other,
started . across the plains, in '64.
Mr. iBish's family came to Call-,
fornia and Mrs. Ilish's people to
Oregon. Two years later tho
Bluhs came on to Oregon and Adla
and Allen met.
They havn made their homo in
Jackson county for iiS years, and
spent many hours at their fire
side, reviewing events of the jour
ney west.
Mrs. M. A. Price of Sams Valley
doesn't remember much of tho
trip. She is a true daughter of
tho plains, honn at Salt Uxko,
I' tali, while her parents were en

in the .spring- of 18"i0.
There were 300 wagons in the
train In which her parents. Mr.

of tho band did not agree and the
train split in half, with Mrs. Parks'
father leading one faction. In
cluded in tho train were Mr. and
Mrs. John 'Head and four children,
sum Souston and Tom Vinton,
brother-in-law of John C. Fre
mont. Trre Blnwlddieg went to Grass
Valtey. Cal., to make their home
in a mining camp as the only
white family there. One yearafter
their arrival, Mrs. Dmwlddle died
and the baby girl (Mrs. Parks)
