AGED DOCUMEHIS
I
Two documents of historical inter
est were unearthed Saturday after
noon by the county cleric's office,
while assembling old records of
Jackson county for transfer to the
sew edifice.
One document la an Indictment
for perjury, returned while Oregon
was a territory, and the other is the
grimmest of all legal papers a deatrh
warrant. By a coincidence the per
jury Indictment was returned against
a man who was afterwards one of
the attorneys for the man who paid
the extreme penalty of the law.
The death warrant waa Issued by
Circuit Judge P. P. Prim of Jackson
ville ordering the sheriff to "hang
William Costerlln by the neck until
dead, on the 11th day of May, 1860,
between the hours of ten o'clock In
the morning, and two o'clock In the
afternoon, at the place provided."
.The sheriff on the back, of the fools
cap attested that the mandate of the
law had been executed. Casterlln
was convicted of first degree murder,
and T. O. T'Vault, Indicted October
39, 1856, is named as one of his coun
sel. The documents are two of many of
Interest and historical value molding

The old camp site was on a ridge
at the bend of the river Just south
of the bridge over the Rogue at the
end of Main street at Gold Hill, and
on the south bank.
Dr. Cressman has spent a short,
time each summer for the last three
years on the work, but the three
weeks' work this year was the most
fruitful, yielding 30 skeletons. 14
ceremonial knives, and a few mortars
and pestles, In which the Indians
ground acorns.

State police and city police Satur
day afternoon, arretted O. V. Gray,
35, a transient, charged with attempt
ing to utter a forged document, 1
check for 1100, made out upon a
Walla Walla, Wash., bank. The check
was proffered to the Abbey Motor
company of this city. In payment for
a 1933 model Nash auto. The check
was proven bogus, ere the deal was
consummated.
Gray, the state police allege, pass
ed bogus checks on Mann s Depart
ment store, and other local establish
.menu for small amounts.
When arrested by the state police,
he attempted to destroy by eating a
bogus chek, on his person.
The full extent of Gray's opera
tions in this city are not known. Ho
is thought to have been here for
about a week.
For two days, according to the au
thorities. Gray has been conferring
with several local auto dealers rela
tive to the purchase of an auto. Sat
urday afternoon he brought the ne
gotiations to an end, which, he hoped
would allow 36 hours' to elapse be
fore the flctltlousness of the check
could be ascertained.
The state police say that Gray's ac
tivities In Eugene, Salem and other
Willamette valley towns the past
month will also be Investigated.
Several bogus checks, alleged to
have been forged by Gray were found
last night by state police. Jarmln and
Wood reported cashing one. Captain
Lee M. Bown of the state police re
quested that any person or firm,
holding one of the checks to report
to his department. .
T
Word has been received at the
county superintendent's office that a
representative of a teachers' agency
has been working in the county to
enroll teachers who desire positions.
"Reputable agencies," says Superin
tendent Susanne H. Carter, "so far
as known, do not send men out Into
the field nor do they ask payment
of any fee until the first month's
salary has been received. Teachers
are warned against this sort of
work."
Mrs. Carter states also that "school
boards are reporting visits from
book agents Who ask the board mem
bers separately and when not in
board session to sign orders for sets
of books. The individual board who
allows himself to be persuaded to
sign such agreement is personally
liable for the amount of purchase."
"A school which has a reasonably
modern cyclopedia of standard re
quirement with the state office, has
no reason to trade In their present
set toward a new set In these days
when rigid economy is needed. Then
too, the board should learn whether
the new set is a valuable one and
approved by the state superintend
ent." ,

"The stamina, economy and endur

demonstrated recently when1 Eddie
Pullen, famous racing driver, and his
crew drove a Ford V-8 33,301 miles In
33 days, 4 hours, 35 minutes the
equivalent of three years' normal
driving in one month. The run was
made near Rosamond, California, In
the Mojave desert, and lasted from
June 6 to July 9, according to C. E.
Gates.
"Results of this unique test design
ed to test the performance of the
Ford V-8 under harder than average
driving conditions showed that the
car averaged 41.8 miles per hour
throughout the entire distance," con
tinued Mr. Gates.
"It averaged 19.64 miles per gallon
of gasoline and consumed only li
pints of oil per thousand miles. The
first set of 4 tries averaged 27.625
miles each though they still had

Meeker Stresses Need
C. A. Meeker of the city council
and a member of the committee,
stressed the Inability of the city and
Its residents to donate further funds
to charity. It Is absolutely a coun
ty problem, he pointed out, and one
which must be handled on a co
operative basis. He complained of
too much work by individuals and
units in the past and voiced a de
mand for a county-wide movement.

stated that his city was able to care
for Its own poor last winter and
expected to do the same during the
coming season. He also stated that
he failed to see the necessity for a
county organization and that each
community ahovld be able to care
for Its own dependents In the man
ner Ashland has. He described the
projects featured In Ashland and
added that he thought the greatest
need of the day one for re-education
of the people, who are living far
beyond their means.
Mrs. Reames In answer suggested
that Ashland, being a residential
city, probably has fewer unemployed
than the other sections of the coun
ty and for that reason is better
equipped to care for her own prob
lem. She stressed the need for co
operation and a spirit of helpfulness
from all regions, emphasizing again
that society's first responsibility Is
care of the poor and that people,
regardless of how unwise they have
been In the past, cannot be permit
ted to starve or freeze in a Christian
.country. She also referred to labor
uprisings, which may result If peo
ple are permitted to go hungry. She
discouraged private donations, men
tioning numerous cases of the past
year In whlcch some families were
helped by numerous Individuals and
others not at all.
Program Needed
County Agent Fowler, also voicing
the demand for a county program,
informed the group that every
shack In the country Is Inhabited
and that when winter comes on the
occupants will be facing severe cold
as well as hunger unless foods are
conserved for the coming seasons.
County Commissioner Victor Bur

Grange leaders to cooperate In the
