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

cluded In the list. Many are in
good condition and should .. 'be
benefitting someone, besides Nied

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:

Coroner H. W. 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

thousand Inhabitants in 'a short
time, and last week I enjoyed a
day of Investigation, loklng up old
timers, and looking at relics of the
past.
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.
