Prior to lass, early settlers were
forced to ford Bear creek In coming
from the east side of the valley to
the west and during winter mont.is
fording waa oren Impossible, due to
high water. The Magruder brothers
of the Central Polnta section evolved
the Idea that a bridge must be con
structed. The original construction
plans of the bridge was to have a
alji-inch floor of "fur," which at first
left the Impression animal skins were
to be used Instead of fir lumber.
The bridge waa completed during
the aummer season but the follow
ing winter more high water came
and changed the course of the stream.
The following season the bridge was
high and dry. The construction of
a second bridge was necessary.
Mr. Wheeler also recalled that Port
Hoxle, almost forgotten today, stood
near the present site of the fair
grounds and was often used when
Indlsnst were on the rampage. It
was hunt of logs and had a high
atockade surrounding It.

ager of Oregon's Diamond Jubilee

the first week In June, It was an
nounced yesterday by E. C. "Jerry"
Jerome, manager of. the Jubilee, fol
lowing a conference here with Mr.

Mr. Rosson will return to Med

rience, gained in this particular line.

successfully produced In Eugene, were
directed by him, and as graduate
manager of the University of Oregon
he has developed contracts with resi
dents of all sections of Oregon and
neighboring states.
The Oregon Diamond Jubilee, he
stressed yesterday, should not be
confined to Oregonlans, but should
become a national celebration, since
the Inceptive back of the observance
Is one worthy of the consideration of
all Americans.
The true pioneer spirit, unique to
the west, will be emphasized through
out the celebration and relics of early
daya. unknown to other sections, will
be on display.
The celebration, as previously
stated, will be sta(e-wide in scope.
That Is, all, residents of Oregon will

merce, Mr. Rosson asked all residents
of Jackson county, whether or not
members of the Jubilee committee, to
aid in putting on the celebration, de
claring that the participation of each
and ev4ry man and woman Is needed
and wanted.
Definite developments in the cele
bration plans will be announced early
this week as the big ball starts roll
ing to continue until ,-the Oregon
birthday party Is over and added to
other Important experiences In the
golden history of the state.

County Commissioner R. E. Nealon
Is shy a new hat for his spring cam- j
palgn, and Arthur Perry Is wearing
one all because the heavens gave
forth rain last night. Kealon got
rain, Perry got a hat, and the judges
say It was a square deal. But Nealon
would like to know Just what power
the Smudge Pot editor exerts over
the great god. Jupiter Pluvlus. C.
W. (Wig) Ashpole witnessed the
transaction.
It happened this way. "We got to
,have rain," the Table Rock farmer
Informed Arthur Perry. "No rain,
no potatoes." ,
"If I had a new hat It would rain
In 36 .hours," Perry declared, scanning
his frayed chapeau. "It never falls."
An argument ensued, during which
Porry maintained his stand "no hat,
no rain."
Nealon took a good look at his own
recent purchase, then slipped It on
Perry's head, taking the later's head
piece In exchange.
"If It rntns In 36 hours the hat
Is yours," Nealon dcclarod In depart
ing. And before he reached Bybee
bridge the heavy shower spilled Its
blessings upon him.
His problem today is how long will
It take the alfalfa to grow enough
bales of .hay to finance a new hat
can It be ( before election?
Perry, who Is also an authority on
the hay crop, says "no."
