a large part will move through
Portland. Oregon apples are scarce
In Washington, but the market Is
well supplied from other sources,
for "unemployed apples' can be.
bought on any street corner down
town. "Oregon pears, however, make a
better showing and tho Bosc,

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.

.The resignation was submitted
to tho board sometime ago and

January 13. Mr. Jarmin was elect

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.

received Instruction In applying

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

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.
