MEDFOKD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEPFORD, OREflOff, TUESDAY, 'JUNE 23, 10.11. fAGE THREE TRAFFIC MANAGER FILM FANS LEAVE FINE ASSORTMENT The history of progress enjoyed by the Southern Pacific company since Its origin was briefly review ed Monday by J. A. Ormandy, traffic manager. In an address be fore the Kiwanls club at luncheon at the Hotel Medford. The' early struggles of the company and its t present day obstacles were includ ed in the resume of developments. ; Change has necessitatd many -expensive projects in the railroad, ;'as well -as other businesses, Mr. ''Ormandy pointed out, and has also robbed the. lines of much patron- age. ..In the old days when the .i Southern Pacific advertised Crater .Lake and southern Oregon In the f east, it meant business for the rail y roads. Today It means as much, i or more business,' for someone else us little of the cross continent tourist travel Is by rail. - Mr. Ormandy congratulated Medford upon the progress of the city and surrounding country, in . which he said he was glad to claim the Southern Pacific played a part. He also congratulated southern Oregon in having E.f C. SoIInsky : as superintendent of the Crater - Lake National park and described him as one of the most efficient " men in government service on the coast. .' Musical entertainment for Mon day's luncheon was furnished by peorgo Olsen and his brother, Fred . Olsen. -The latter entertained with a' piano solo and George Olsen . sang two songs, "My Bream Girl' and "Some Little Bug Is Going to Find You Some Day." Both were enthusiastically received. Hats, purse., ladles' handbag, boys' caps, umbrellas and many other accessories, smart young men and women are leaving in the the atre this season, are crowding John Xiedermeyer out of his office at the Holly, George P. Olsen an nounced this morning. A wash tub filled with articles found after shows is located' In Niedermeyers office and house cleaning time has arrived. If the owners of the left-overs, do not call for them within a week's time. Mr. Olsen said this morning, they will be turned over to the Red Cross. - ' Fountain pens, leather h el mo Us and many other articles are in cluded In the list. Many are in good condition and should .. 'be benefitting someone, besides Nied ermeyer will b forced to move out or acquire another wash tub if the articles aren't called for soon or turned over to the Hed Cross. Mr. Olaen explained. LOCATE RELATIVES Historical Jacksonville j And Smiling Valley Gain Praise of Grange Visitor Q. A. Peterson, of Independence,! Ore., who attended ! the recent' Grange convention here was so Im pressed with the valley and Jack sonville's historical background that he wrote an interesting ac count of his visit for the Independ ence Knterprise. Mr. Peterson Is father of Mrs. P. S. Thurston of Jacksonville. His article follows: po favorite foods sometimes disagree, causing that gusy fullness, burning sourness, belching, nausea, upset stomach, etc? TUMS a new Antacid mint gives almost Immediate relief.

Conger determin ed this morning, that Clarence Harris, prospector, found dead on a lonely mountain trail .in the Moadows district yesterday, has. a brother, O. H. Harris, formerly of this city, now residing in Klamath Falls, and that his mother, Mrs. Sarah A. Harris lives 1 In Hot Springs, New Mexico. The infor mation was obtained through a nephew employed on the new high school building. There will be no inquest and final disposition of the body awaits word from the mother, Harris' remains were Drought to this city last night and In the opin ion of the coroner, death occurred last iThursday or Friday. Death was attributed to heart failures brought about by heavy exertion. The state Grange convention at Medford afforded those who at tended the pleasure of meeting fellow Grangers from all parts of the state. The people of Medford proved to be the best of hosts, the southern Oregon city was gorgeous with flags and holiday attire, the country surrounding it eeemed to be trying to display all of nature's wealth of green fields, greener orchards, and scenery rich and pleasing to the eyes of tho visiting guest. Probably no section of Oregon Is as rich in those things that make one enjoy a visit as is the valley of the Jtogue In and around Medford. Leaving Eugene going south, one passes through scores .of miles of mountain sameness, but when he emerges Into the leveler lands and alfalfa fields, pear orchards, and sightly homes near Medford, reach ing we.st to Jacksonville and south to Ashland, he sees all the beauty of a rich section, watered, cared for, and appreciated by the set tle l-s. Medford is a young city, healthy with clean street, substantial buildings, and bustling business interests, splendid churches, schools and imposing business blocks. To mc, Jacksonville is the most Interesting city in the atato, and why not? When we learn that it Is the oldest town in Oregon; that It was there that Frank Poole and Frank Laugghage In the fall of 1851 discovered gold; that during the years from 1851 to I860 around 10 million dollars In gold was taken out of the ravine and gulches at Jacksonville; that thoi6 few years were ripe and overflowing with life in nil its wild roughness; ex citement after excitement spurred to the wildest heights by whiskey, gambling, gold and more gold, till It built a live town of several RANGER ROSTEL QUITS The Star of Stars!

One of the most Interesting homes in the state Is theite, the home of Emll and Motile Britt, the son and daughter of Peter Brut, who had the first photo studio in tho northwest. Mr. Britt invited me to come to his home where on the veranda surrounded by palms and beauti ful shrubbery allowed to grow In Us wild profusion, he answered my questions and retold briefly the early history of the region. Mr. Britt and his sister live In the home where they were children when old Jacksonville was the mecca. of the gold hunter and the gambler. One has only to meet one of these old timers In this historical southern Oregon gold town to place facts with imagination and he has a story equal to "King -Solomon's Mines," by H. Itlder Haggard. We were told that Mr. Britt is very wealthy. . . . Jacksonville, now resting quietly end serene, smiling In Its declining eara, satisfied because it has had a great day, may at any time awaken like a slumbering volcano, and re vive with much of Its old time vigor, because not all its store house of gold was given; at .any time the cry may go out that an other strike, another bonanza, an other rush Is on! Men are now placer mining In the vacant lots in the town and around the town. These bedrock miners nearly al ways cheerful, kindly, and ap proachable, are finding gold every day; not much, but wages, and the nam gold, the same lure, the same encouragement that has led men into the most Inaccessible parts of the world. Jacksonville has the . oldest church, (protestant) west of the Rocky mountains, built in 1854; the courthouse where the DeAut- remont brothers were brought to trial for the Siskiyou tunnel out rage; thin large brick building ii now abandoned since Medford be came the county sent of Jackson county. There is the John Brenner brick building, being the first brick building in Oregon, built In 1855;! in it, women and children of Jack-j sonville were placed and . safely; kept during the last raid of the Rogue River Indians In 1858; the first bank in Oregon and the first vault north of Sun Francisco is there. C, C. Beekman established It in 1858 and handled more than 123,000,000 through it. During the panic of 1907 there was a sign over Mr. Bee k man's banks, "No Holiday Here." Another interesting brick build ing with steel-armor plate shutters over doors and windows to protect Inmates from bullets Is the I. O. O. P. building established in 1860. So .much for Jacksonville, Ore gon, the old city of adventure, gold, memories and bultt on a golden i foundation. Our daughter and Ifamlly, (Phil Thurston) live three miles north of Jacksonville on the old Grants Pans-California stage road. While with them wo motor ed to all the worthwhile sections of southern Oregon. Including Central Point, Gold Hill, - Table mountain, Crater Lake, old Port Klamath, Klamath Falls, over the mountains to Ashland and Rogue River valley generally. It would be too haty perhaps to neglect expressing our surprise, wonder or what have you, about Crater Lake. Splendid motor highways, 80 miles northeast of Medford, up,, up to the summit of the Cascades, enter ing tho national park where one's car Is stopped by a government official. What kind? Don't know, though he was offlcioui enough to get our dollar for the carload; was courteous and said. "Drive right; on six miles and you are there," and we sure were! Of course thousands have seen ft. but I hadn't so there Is the secret of It all, but no! No living mortal knows tho secret of Crater Lake. Some say, Mt. Manama was once the highest mountain In the world, and only Its lower benches is now the rim of this most beautiful blue body of water, 7000 foet high, 2000 feet deep, 2000 feet from the rim to the indigo blue water and miles across. Some say It Just caved In and tho melting snows of ages have filled It with the water so blue a to cause one to marvel that so beautiful color, Impossible of reproduction by tho most re nowned artist on enrth. It JubI can't be done. Crater Lake Is not Just one of the wonders of the world. It l the wonder of them all! Twenty-two miles east, down the fine smooth highway to old Fort Klamath, Juwt west of which In Wood River valley Is one of the largest cattle ranrhe In Oregon la, 000 head of beef cattle are In Its grassy fields. in grossing tne mountain we saw a deer hy the roadside, (not caged) and with that one reminder of the wild, one only wonders at the ease with which we cross and recroji the mountain heights over fine, smooth roads and at most any efpeed. FOR PARK DUTY Medford and other valley people who visit Crater Lake will find there this season an unusual at traction In addition to the ciys-. terlous lake, In the person of a well known Medford newspaper j man, for the past six years, in ills-; guise Ernest Rostel, without his j mustache, who obtained an Indef-, lnlto leave of absence from the ; Mall Tribune staff a month ago to rest up his gout and also give his, flivver a much needed rest, I Yes, that keen looking, young! new ranger at the national park, I in a natty park uniform and with far away gaze, is not tne new chief ranger, Dave Canflold, you will see flitting about the rim In the neighborhood of the lodge, but is Medford's own "Erny," who be ' gun active service as a summer nark ranger on June IB, assigned; to the publicity and information j uuptiriiiieiii. His office at the present time is anywhere thruout the park, but especially near the rim camp ground and lodge vicinity, but it is understood that Superintendent E. C. Solinskr will soon build him an office out or several 2x4's and flftv or so shingles, back of ob servation point, close to the edge of tho over 1000 feet brink, so that no noise will disturb him when lio Is writing pieces of publicity fori national consumption when not answering questions of tourists and imparting to them Information about the lake and national park in general. The shaving off of Mr. Rostell's mustache, which has been one of the most conspicuous landmarks In the business district tor a year or so, is a distinct Improvement which will be reliBhed by the entire state. He did not part with that he man adornment, which in his first year as a newspaper man here he was wont to refer to In writing as "hirsute adornment," voluntarily. No, he was given the choice by the other park rangers and em ployes of shaving It off within 12 hours or having them do so. He did. Those Crater park rang ers and others are a hardy bunch, and can stand much privation and suffering, but with a limit. To Ithem Erny'a ntustaiflie iwaa the limit. Hence his present barefaced appearance, which even mystifies close friends. For instance Victor Tengwald, who has for months past beon cir culating with him over southern Oregon and northern California In their spare, time off duty, and who aided In taking the railroad pass enger agents up to the park Sun day, not knowing his old side kick was a ranger at the park and not recognising him, approached his uniform and inquired in, his best Coloradoese: ' "Good sir, can you kindly tell me .It one can obtain any po k n beans up heah or In leu theahof some fried oyBtansT ' ;"! gottu, Irlend," respondod the new park ranger, lining nis nat in courtesy. "Botcher life. Mssen, right over there (pointing to the rim ground cafeteria). You are strancer here. I take It?" "Thank you, my good man," sold Vic as he started away for the cafeteria, aB It Is not his custom to become familiar with strangers It is roported in the city that Mr. Hostell looks "Just scrum tlous" In h 1b new uniform, which is the first tailor made suit ho ever wore, and that he fell down twice the first time he started to walk in It. The erstwhile reformed nowsuaner man has become so ac customed to tho garb by this time that he has regained his old, what he used to write in this paper his first year, "ung frold" before he knew what the expression meant.
