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.

THE GRANGE
Lest We Forget
The death of Mrs. Clara Anderson
deserves more than passing notice, as
her father. 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
