When Orrgon was young and ale howl ua Just becoming a fact, transportation was confined to oxen and covered wagons, now only dim memories In the minds of still surviving pioneers. One or the last cov ered wagon trips across the plains was made a few years ago from Con necticut to I'hocnlv. One of the animals making the trip Is shown on the streets of Jacksonville.

Baucis were play.ng, street meetings were held, dances con tinued far into the night and the air was filled with hilarity. Oregon had been admitted Into the union, follow - lng considerable effort on the part ot early Oregonlans in persuading con gress the far western territory was not a discouraging wlldrness and was entitled to statehood. The population of the state at that time hardly reached 50,000. scattered throughout Its extensive area, with a large proportion in southern Oregon, one of the heaviest populated dis tricts of 'the state. Portland, Salem and Eugene headed the list of larger cities, although six or seven years be fore Jacksonville and the surrounding territory during gold rush days was , the most populous. Progress Started Echoes of Indian war cries which split the Rogue River valley air as late as 1856 were hardly lost on wood ed hillsides when statehood began a remarkable era of progress for the Empire State. The crack of stage coach whips, creaking covered wagons, ; the clatter of hoof beats on rocky j roads, log cabins, red-shlrted miners, j clinking glasses in busy saloons and slow moving pack trains were all characteristic of the period when Oregon was in Its swaddling clothes. Time brought vast changes. Auto mobiles were not even imagined as a possibility of a future mode of trans portation. Horse flesh was In Its hey-day and livery stables were re garded much In the same light then as service stations and garages are today. Nearly a thousand men were employed by livery stables and in trades related to horses, such as blacksmiths, which led the list with nearly 500. Business was brisk in Jacksonville and along travel routes where Mvery stables and blacksmith shops were located at convenient distances. The stables have disappeared from local life years ago and only two or three blacksmith shops are left In the entire valley. Railroad Gave Impetus J Rapid stage coach transportation ' brought a traveler from Roseburg in three days, and sometimes less over roads which were notorious for their dust tn summer and infamous for their oceans of mud in winter. Pro gress gained further Impetus with the advent of the Iron horse when the Oregon -Cal l form a railroad laid Its rails through the valley regarded, as an epoch tn the history oi southern Oregon, hardly second In greatness and Importance to the set- he. also, was much opposed to the sales tax. "being a Scotchman." and falling to see any place where It would benefit him. He owned no real estate so therefore figured the tax could do htm no good. The general improvement In business which has resulted, however, he stated, has con vinced him that all people are bene fitted by the sales tax in California. Pears of wage cutting have been re duced 100 per cent since the money from the sales tax has started rolling Into the stat coffers. He cited the tax as Oregon's salva tion, advising all his local friends, property owners or otherwise, to bene fit themselves and state by voting for the tax. He added in so doing that he was originally one of the strongest supporters of the sales tax, since he bas seen It work. SALEM, Feb. 15.
