Tax levies tor Jackson county,
in rural districts, duo to the voting
of special road, unit Hchool levies,
will show an average increase of
approximately ;t5 per cent-over last
year, according to the county as-bcksoi-'h
office. The levies in In

an average increase of a fraction
more than 2 per cent.
The general stute. and county
levy lor rural areas, meaning mm
high Kchool districts, is .4 mills
higher thun last year. The county
and state levy this year is 17..'!
mills. 1-ust year it was 1).I mills.
This means the country districts
of the entiie county will pay only
$5557 more than they did last year.
Itural levies were made in Hilt
districts. Of this total 131 show
an increase and It7 a decrease. One
district has the same levy as last
year.
Many of the- districts have a 50
per cent increase in levies and o.ie i
has a 79 per cent increase.
Roads and Schools Cause
The increase is due, in a large
measure, to special levies voted !
ly the districts for school and roud j
improvements. A small percentage)
ot the gain is due to state or conn- '
ty levy increase. ' j
The Oak Grove district, which in-1
eludes the territory adjacent to the
city limits of Medford, failed to
vole a special road levy and is
one of the few outside high school
districts that has a decreased levy.
The Ruch district, which voted
both school and road special levies,
has one of the heaviest incieases,

The contract between James
'Shirley, grandfather of J. W. Shir
ley, and an Ohio tailor shows what
a tailor expected of a boy, when
be laugbt him how to make
1 breeches in I SL'ti.
I At the age of In, James Shirley
! was apprent iced and in tile eon
: tract he promises the tailor "with
him to abide for six years to learn
J the art and mystery of theiaUor
; ing business. His secrets to keep.
His lawful demands to obey, matri
I uiony not to contract, ale houses
not to f reipicnt during said term
of the apprenticeship."
.ml iho tailor in return, accord
ing to ihe contract, promises to
give James Shirley. "wholesome
I food, drink and lodging, ami teach
him in (tie whole art of tailoring
and teach or
, t.nmht to read
milch arithmetic
' tile -I'llle of till o!
IIKilll lis of S hoo III .
, school."
Which meant tin
schooling each ear for three
years. And upon completion of the
'apprenticeship the tailor agreed to
inrush t tie a p pre i it ice w :th "two
suits of common clothes and a
Ihblo.''
Proof that James Shirley lived
up to the contract is found on the
back of the document with the
record of ii s rei oi ding. 1 1 reads,
"Time served in lull."
Put having ha rued the art and
mystery of tailoring, James Shirley
evidently did not care so much ba
il. A copy of the Somerset Post,
dated May W, I vt carries his
name on the masthead as editor.
The newspaper, published In the
little Ohio town and treasured by
t lie Shirley fa mil.v for a I most a
; century, is very worn and blotched
i wit h age. but still readable. The
' market report quotes wheat at t'A
cents and flour at $1 .fill. And
"intelligence from Pali f o r n i a"
i bringing news that "on the I'tith of
March, Lieut. Haywood, who was
! hemmed in by Ihe (iuerillas at San
Jose, has been relieved by Ihe crew
, of i he t vane."
The advertisements in the news
' paper speak much of bonnets and
little of hats. Those with me
trimmings are expressly recom
mended for "the ladies of Uin
coum ry, who need not fear being
crippled in the crowd"' one ad
reads, which indicates that the
streets of Somerset were not suf
ficiently populated to cramp bon
net stylists.
Another newspaper, treasured In
James Shirley's fib-n, was publish
ed in .January pstifi, and contains it
market report, which varies little
1 from present day quotations

' The oldest paper in the assorl

'a letter to his great Riandfather
, It. Mills, written by his sister, Sep
tember 1J, 1MJ. It in written on
one sheet of paper nnd folded, the
