MEDFORD MAIL TRTBTJXK MEDFOTvD. OREGON', WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 17, 1034. PAfiE TTTREE F ARE HANDED COURT To date 153 applications for old age pensions have Men filed with the county court, considerably leas than anticipated and indicated by the first rush for application blanks. Close to 200 applications are expected to be filed. It was estimated that there were 1600 people within the county over 70 yeara of age, and that half this number would apply for pensions. Two stenographers, under direction of Ingrld Holmw, secretary of the county court, have been busy the past week making out the applications with all questions answered In full. Applications of the Inmates of the county farm will be taken at an early date. When all the applications have been filed and all data collected the county court, acting as the old age pension board, will hold a session and pass on the applications In time for pay ment during February. Checks are being made on all appli cants, to verify them as to age and length of residence In the atate and county. Valuation of property, and incomes of the applicants are also scrutinized, and welfare associations In other statea contacted to deter mine the financial ability of unmar ried daughters, aons and other kin to care for the applicants. The law provides that relatives. If able, are responsible for the care of aged kin. and that the entire burden cannot be shifted to the atate or county. The budget allowance for old age pension In this county la 5000 and the penslona will have to stay within ' this sum. owing to the financial stringency. The pensions granted will necessarily have to be small, to keep within thla amount. The legislature provided no means for funds when It passed the law, leaving It to the counties. Some Oregon counties have taken no steps to pay pensions this year. Those who have, like Jackson county, have adopted a rigid economy policy, to make the limited funds last. FAMTT.Y IN COURTROOM HUDDLE R. a STEPHENSON KMED IS SOUGHT AS MODEL Further proof of the worth of the ordinance recently passed by the Medford city council, regulating the sale of electrical equipment In this city, waa received yesterday by Frank Rogers, building Inspector. A letter from Elizabeth, N. J., ask ing for a copy of the Medford orclt nace reached Mr. Rogers' desk. It announced that Information regard ing the Medford ordinance had been received there and that the city of Elizabeth was anxious to adopt a new ordinance and would appreciate a copy of the one drawn up In this city.

James W. Collins, wa one of the very first settlers In Rogue River valley, having come here In 1852. He took up a donation claim half-way between where the towns of Jacksonville and Phoenix are now located, and built the first house that was built In the valley out of rustic or dressed lumber. It used to be called the half-way house, and was used for over 70 years before being torn down. It is now known as the Gordon ranch and no doubt some of that lumber can be found there now. Mr. Collins sold out later and bought the old Brotherton place in Sams Valley, where he lived for many, many years, and then moved to Phoe nix, where he spent the balance of his life. Clara Collins Anderson waa born at the ranch In Sams Valley, in 1857, and therefore was one of the oldest native daughters in Jackson county. She was married to Quinton Anderson in 1874, a native son of this county, and afterwards moved to Klamath county and settled on a homestead near Bly. and engaged In the stock business for many, many years, and finally came back to spend their re maining days in the Rogue Rivw valley, where Mr. Anderson died sev eral years ago. When they first settled In the Sprague River valley it was rather an isolated place, and neighbors were few and rar between, ana ni n , pend on each other for help in casts of sickness or death, etc. Mrs. Anderson was one who wasi always ready to go and waa a mother j to tlie young people of that locality.1 and many a cowboy who la now past middle age. will hold her In loving; remembrance as long as they live. I and their hearts will be sad when they j learn of the death of "Ma" Anderson., -ho waa a mother to them In early1 lays. 1 JOHN B. OR1FFEN. Medford. Ore., Jan. 15. 1P34. Jacksonville Grange.

In Mr. Roosevelt's message to con gress he mentioned dollar devalua tion officially for the first time. 1 The milk co-operatives are groan ing about the government's new milk plan and the government officials are wondering if they will fight. One explanation of the new money policy is: "Mr. Roosevelt Is now sta bilizing without exactly stabilizing. Just as three months ago he devalued the dollar without exactly devaluing It." Another called It a sedative for money xmrest. The wisest comment probably was: "Mr. Roosevelt's money policy is now about half way between Professo Warren and James Warburg."
