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.

was "not anywhere near balanced."

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 of Mrs. Harry Merrlman on
