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.

ago yesterday. 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. (AP) The state
