Hectic Session of Council
and Citizens League
Leads to Move for Re
storing Calm Old County
Seat Debate Heated. -
Tho old red, brick city hall in
Jacksonville, whero once echoed
the voices of "counclimen and
mayors Ions dead, last ninht per
hapM echoed to the most spirited
session in the 76 years .it has
been built when the present city
council, unwilling to appoint four
special officers for duty on dance
nights, unanimously " aureed to
difcontihite the dances indefinitely.
The service of the officers had
been requested by the recently
organized Citizens Civic leanue
to aid in control of Saturday nlRht
crowds, alleged to have been ft
bit too hilnrlous and presenting a
condition which th league claim
ed one officer could not handle.
The league did not seek the
closing of the dances or' did It
neek to have the closing hour
changed from 2 a.m. to midnight,
but did deplore claimed excessive
drinking and hilarity on dance
nights. Tho city council on Us
own initiative, through a iimtn
offered by a member, Oscar Knox,
and seconded by Kd Severance,
abolished the daiucs to eliminate
the bone of contention that was
threatening to split the town
u. under.
Strom; Delate.
Debate was strong. Personali
ties were attacked and insinua
tions cast as different townspeople
in the crowd Vpoke t'heir mind.
Other speeches were constructive
and the citizens were . urged to
forget 'the. strife in an effort to"
bring about harmony to hoost
for a bigger and better 'Jackson
ville; which, after all, the speak
ers, said, was the main matter
of consenuehce.
Oniiullman Knox; ono of "the
fjrst npeakers of tho si-ssion, In
no uncertain terms launched, a
Verbal attack on tho league, cast
ing pointed insinuations. He de-jof
clared flrft reports of the no.
called conditions at the dnnces

. .. l.lst or Names.
Maxwell said, ho had the names
of 'most every law violator In towN
written In a Utile book, but It was
not for the use of the public, lie
sld he had a deputy sheriff's
commission and had held it for
some time, but throtiBli his ' itood
Kenrtedness" had refrained from
exerclsiiiB his power, nllhotiKh he
liad seen, opportunities to do ho.
; -They've said they'd run .Max
well our of town." lie said nt one
olnt durinic tho session
"but
Maxwell is still here,
He'll con-
tlmif. to ho In Jacksonville aftert
a lot of you fellows there In back
are up in the graveyard on the
hill." This remark was greoieu
liv boos from the rear of the hall
His speech ended. Maxwell sail
down and the debate continued.
' Itev. S. M. Jones, Jacksonville,
rhlnlKter, active In affairs of the
league, a dignified appearing gen
tleman, clnrere in his convctons.J
spoke nt length on the dance
rlroblems nnd set forth why he,
thought moro ronlrol over Sntur
dav night crowds necessary. "e
declared it was not the Intention
of the league to abolish the dances
or urge earlier closing hours. If
tile young people must dance, it
was their privilege, but when he
null the remark the league
wanted to. bring about improved
conditions so respectable people
could come, the words drew If
..mediate fire.

h,.r rennrks It was one of cv- 'Iliis medicine comes In both fluid and
oral times the old hall was filled
with the noise of clnpplng hands.
Tho crowd was noisy nnd when
Rev. Jenes was on his feet, certain
spectators took it on themselves
to ctnrt violent cnugnmg
other noises to distract the

minister, "anil I have always con
ducted myself ns such. Continue
your coughing and noise, ' I car.

wero gentlemen you would at

his face taking on an expression
of grim humor. j
Chuppcll Hoard. i
Dick Ch.-ippell, to whom Is cred
ited the authorship of be reply
ro chnrges made hy Sheriff Halph '
Jennings, ns published a short,
time ago In The Mail Tribune.,
aiiis nnd declared he -was nn old
time Jacksonville resident ami
nlwnys had a soft spot In his
heart for the old home town. He
cast a little humor Into he (?.
sion nt the expense of the league;
nnd league members, ns well o;
others, smiled nnd laughed over
the story concerning a Swede who
underwent a serious operation on
his head and came to Jackson
ville. iThe -most instructive -jwWu
of tho even I a wer made by Jtuy
Wilson, confectionarv atom nro-
prietor. who urged the citizens to)
forget ie dance hall strife and
pull together in a sj?irit of co-'
operation for a bigger and better
Jacksonville. j
Deplores Situation. 1
"We can get nowhere by flght-v;
Ing among ourselves," he said,
"and the present condition is most
deplorable for our city it would!
be deplorable for any community.!
1 have not taken sides in the j
matter and I don't intend to. The'
newspapers will carry accounts of
this session and." It will, be poor
advertising compared to! the sort
of advertising we want the sort
of publicity that will bring peo
ple to our city to view it as the
oldest place In southern Oregon
and one of the' oldest In the
state. Let us -pull together and
hy tho time tho next tourist sea
son arrives, we will h.ivV accom
plished things y attract tho vis
itor to our city to see our mu
seum and various other points of
interest for which Jacksonville
could be known the entire length
of the coast." '
The same p?ntlments were ex
pressed by O. W. Oodward, mer
chant, who indicated that pos
sibly after ail the conditions wero
not as bad as they had been
painted and recalled' to memory
places he had been where condi
tions had been' po bad It would
be Impossible for Jacksonville to
held n candle to .them. He did
not seek to be a -party In causing
the town to be vpllt Into factious
in fact none of tho league mem
bers felt that way. he said.
lr. D. A. Korhej of the league,
took oceasion to criticise the
method in which the council held
their sessions and advised them
to talk louder so all the. spec
tators could ,henr the matters
about whirl, they were talking.
Dances Closed.
League members believed the
dances could continue tri bri ope
rated and draw crowds. The em
ployment of the officers was only
sought to itiit tbinus . down a
little, hut the opposing faetion j
figured the officers would '. tend ,
to keep some of tho crowd away
and were against such action, j
Placed in an embarrassing situa-;
tion. the city council closed the j
dances to take away the root of j
the trouble.
The weekly Saturday night par
ties had been bringing about jlOOj
a week into the town and gave Kj
a week-end aipe.ct. of activity that j
it otherwise would not have had.
!ow that tho dances are closed,
dissension is expected to grow
leys, but - after all though dis
putes may come and go and
dances may again be held. Jack
sonville will always be .1 nek son-I
vllle, holding its esteemed place
In ; the pioneer history of south
ern' Oregon as tho dwelling place

early development of southern
Oregon and made possible the
fruits of their: efforts 'n-rfw ""en
