Jacksonville Music Hub Of Coast In Early0 Day Spinet Census Disclose! o Jflu (By Kwi Neahm.) They sweated In the. gold dig gin's. They drank their O'hisUey straight. They enforced the law with hangings, gambled away their paintings, and shut the "guy" who trod on a prospector's coat-tail. But in their souls was something which responded to music the strains of an old-fashioned hymn, wafted through the hill on a Sun day morn in it. St it must have been wil1 the men who first came to the mining camp at Jacksonville. For in thei early days, according lo (Jene How- ard of Oakland. Cal.. who Is in this city reconstructing pianos and other musical instruments. Jack-, Honville was the musical center of! the coast. The number of spinets, grand ancestors of the modern organ, to be fou ml In this locality, Mr. How ard gave as basis for his opinion of the historic little town. There are five spinets In Medford, he said yesterday while reviewing the history of tho two owned by Miss Alice "Haiiley and Mrs. F. A. Carley. "I have found but five in the whole state of California, he add ed, "and three of them came from Jacksonville." The spinet now owned by Mies Hanley will havo to learn a whole set of new tunes, for It had prob ably not been played for f0 years until Mr. Howard coaxed it into several melodies Monday evening after placing new parts where time had robbed the quaint old instru ment of its interiors. It was the first musical instru ment played in tho old Methodist church of Jacksonville, the first Protestant church built west of the Hocky mountain. From the church it was moved to a home. Miss (Hanley later found It being used as a meat chopping block. D TO SW1GART POST L Resignation of Carl A. Swlgart from tho Medford school board and appointment of Marc B. Jar m in to succeed him was announc ed today by Dr. H. 13. (Jreen, chairman of tho board. Pressuro of personal business, which requires much of his time in California, was tho reason given by Mr. Swlgart for submitting his resignation. .The resignation was submitted to tho board sometime ago and acted upon at the regular meeting January 13. Mr. Jarmin was elect ed nt the Kiinin meeting but tho announcement of tho chango was held up pending the formal accep tance of Mr. Jarmin. Dr. Green paid high tribute to tho splendid service of Mr. Swlgart who has been a member of the board for five years, when an nouncing his resignation today. Tho board will meet to sell the bonds for the new school buildings 'Saturday, February 14. And again Monday, February 10, to let con tracts for tho Washington school, Including heating, plublng and , wiring. Contracts for mill work and painting are not Included In this call but will ho let somewhat i later. F! U Charles Htelle. 17-year-old youth I arrested this week by tho police on a burglary charge.

Headquarters company and com pany "A of Medford last night received Instruction In applying first nld to the Injured and Hick Dr. A. F. Kresso of Medford gavo a lecture, demonstrating wllb t he use of bandages applied to National Cuard soldiers assumed to be Injured. The bandages and first aid chart ! was limited by Jarmin and Woodnj local druggists. Doctor K rosso, with the material at hand, gave the Instruction In such u munneri Hint closa attention was received I and Interest In the procedure was; so great that the doctor himself became gmitly Inlerestetl In a sub-l Ject that has for years been com- mouplnco to himself. Captain TenirWald of Company, A and Lt. Uaucom of headquarters company expressed their thanks' to the doctor and to Lieutenant Laldley, who made the Instruction possible. I and lit respect lo its romantic past, purchased the spinet and removed it to her home. The trade name within the In strument read "O. Follett." It was assembled by Han or Jan ll.iuth tnan the signature has heconto very indistinct In the year ITIts, in BUtsfield, Mas. People who know something of its history nay it came around the Horn to Cres cent City and mado the journ-y from there to the mining camp by pack train. There were two Npitiets! on board the ship which brought j it around the Horn. There was a ! terrible storm at sea and one wasj washed overboard. The surviving spinet made the journey to Jacksonville. Mrs. Carley purchased her spinet ! in Jamestown, X. 1)., in issi, from. a secondhand store, and took it to her homestead, which was the din ner station for tho old stage line connecting the northern and south ern regions of tho territory, 'Music for dancing and singing in which stage passengers and cowboys par ticipated was -brought from its old ivory key). It was frequently load ed -into a lumber wagon and taken t wo miles to t ho sch oo I h o u se t o furnish music for church and en tertainments. The tunes It knew best were the old gospel hymns. The Instrument is in excellent condition. It is constructed of rosewood, and was made by Berg man in K37. The value of these spinets can't be accurately estimated. Mr. How ard aid yesterday. As musical antiques, too high a figure cannot be placed upon them. There nre many people in search of Instru ments of their kind wnd others, of course, to whom they mean noth ing. Mrs. Carley has Invited any per sons interested in seeing tho spinet to call at her home. Meteorological Report February If, llKIl.
