PXGE FOUR IfEDFOKD MXEL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1932. DALLAS WRITEUP' An inUreiting itory of an old time Med ford resident recently appeared In the Polk County Itemlwr under the heading "Interesting People of Dallas and Polk County." It tella the life blatory of John Q. Norton, who apent more than SO years of his life In Jackson county, and who la the uncle of John and Henry Baraeburg and of Mrs. J. M. Keene and slffter, Ida, all of thla city. He now makes his hlme with Mr. and Mrs, Fred Norton of Dallas. The article In the Dallas preas, reads In part: John Q. Norton, who was 80 years old October 3, crossed the plains In the year 1800, arriving In Oregon In October of that year. Mr. Norton, who makes his home with his son, P. R. Norton and family, has not been able to leave the house for the past 16 months, but other than this has been In fairly good health. He was born in Windsor, Ohio, In 1B40, and was the son of Daniel Par ker Norton and Jamlna Jordan Nor ton. He had one brother, Henry, who passed away In 1883, and a Mater, Electa Barneberg. who died In 1900. When Mr. Norton was four year, old the family moved to Burlington, Iowa, and later to Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, where they resided for 10 years on a farm. It was at this time that Fred and Wm. Barneberg, who had been out west, came to Mt. Pleasant and later after their narratives of the west Induced the Norton family to Join their caravan to Oregon. Fred Barneberg married his sister Electa, and In April, 1860, a caravan composed of 46 wagona set out on Its way westward. Mr. Norton stated that their trip was not one of great danger, as the Indiana were quite peaceful. Nevertheless, it was a hard and laborious Journey and took alx months, their caravan arriving In Oregon in October. They came by way of Salt Lake City and on July 4 they arrived two hours late to witness the unusual spectacle of Brlgham Young and his 80 wives, who were on pa rade. They traded with the Mormons for some cattle and -continued on over the Slsklyous. His father purchased a large farm at the present site of Medford', which consisted of 800 acres. There was a nice house on the place and the en tire acreage was purchased for $000 This was the Napoleon Evans dona tion land claim. Mr. Norton stated that their train broke up In Utah, soma going on to California. Mr. Norton was married July 10, 1866 to Anne Margaret Dews and re sided for several years 3Vi miles east of where Medford now stands. To this union were born three children; Dora Elisabeth Chllders, now resid ing at Ooodrlch. Idaho; John Albert and James - Edward, who are now : dead. Mr. Norton's wife died In 1871. Mr. Norton engaged In farming and teamed between Jacksonville and Crescent City, Calif. Many farmers engaged In teaming as there was al- ! ways a time when they were not busy with their crops.. It was a two weeks trip to Crescent City over hazardous roads and steep mountains, but was a most necessary one as this waa the place where supplies were secured from ocean-going vessels. After the first of November these roads were not safe to travel and the farmers gathered enough supplies to last dur ing the long winter months. Jacksonville was the nearest town of any size and was quite a mining center. Mr. Norton remembered the Beekman Bank, one of the oldest in the state, and called to mind Fisher Bros., Sachs and Olen Martin's, all general stores there. Mr. Norton stated that the Indians were usually peaceful, but recalled at one time they became somewhat disorderly, riding into town and dis turbing the people. After they had been warned and failed to heed the order, a group of men took Chief Oeorge of the Indians to Camp Baker, which was- established during the Civil war near Phoenix, Ore., and banged him. Mr. Norton passed Just In time to see this performance. Mr. Norton related that In 1891 1883 there was extremely high water and that after the bridges washed away the people made dug-outs out of pine trees and used them as boats. In several Instances these boats were missed and were later dlscovreed In the possession of some Indians. At this time feed became so scarce that it waa necessary to cut trees for stock to browse on. Although many cattle starved, this means of feeding saved a large number. Mr. Norton remem bers the time when barley and wheat were substituted for coffee because It reached such a high price, and stated that sugar was very high also. In 1873 he married Sarah Elizabeth Bargent, and to thla union were born two daughters: Minnie O. Homberg and Delia Jane, both deceased, Fred R, Norton, now residing In Dallas, and Elmer Howard Norton of Peeks kill, N. Y. Mrs. Norton passed away February 38, 1033.

HOFFMANN'S Sixth & Holly DESERTS HOOVER, country from going off the gold standard, and added that the budget was "not anywhere near balanced." Trail DENVER, Colo.. Oct. 38 (AP) At tacking President Hoover's record In office, U. 6. Senator Branson Cutting, pregresslve Republican of New Mex ico, has announced his Intention to vote for Franklin D. Roosevelt for the presidency of the United States. Senator Cutting praised Roosevelt as an "Idealist who has been able to put many of bis Ideals Into prac tices," and declared the Democratic I presidential candidate 'Is his own master and makes his own decisions." The first of Senator Cutting's twin speeches, delivered here last night, was broadcast over a nation-wide Hookup. Immediately afterward ne attended a rally under the auspices of the National Progressive league and filled a speaking engagement for Senator Oeorge W. Norrls, progressive Republican from Nebraska, who was unable to appear because of a severe cold. Pointing out that no one support ed Mr. Hoover more enthusiastically than he did four years ago. Senator Cutting aald "It la not pleasant to admit political errors." He expressed disappointment In the President's actions in the last four years and listed as the reasons for hla disappointment: the cabinet selected by President Hoover, his Judicial and diplomatic appointments, his attitude on the power Issue, and finally, nls policy relative to exist ing economic conditions. Senator Cutting also said "No President in history has been more amenable to dictation of party bosses and poli ticians have never had a more docile yes-man in the White House." The New Mexico senator charac terized the President's handling of the bonus army as "heartless," and an example of "bad faith and colos sal atupldlty with a re action which overwhelmed the ad ministration with popular . disap proval." Referring to President Hoover's le marka on the nation's financial statue as a "mass of nonsense," Sen ator Cutting aald there was "not the slightest danger of thla country go ing off the gold standard, and many economic authorities believe It might be a good Idea if we did go off." He quoted the President as saying the balancing of the budget saved the TRAIL. Oct. 37 (Special) The Home Extension unit met at the home of Mrs. Harry Merrlman on Tuesday.
