(By Dirk Appleffiite)
Ghosta walked In Jacksonville yes
terday. The memory ghosta of the
early daya when Med ford was atlll
many year In the future, and thou
sands of dollars' worth of gold a dny
were being taken from the hills
where the town of Jacksonville now
' stands. Memories of long treks acrosi
the platna which terminated at the
then young and vIrotous mlntng
town. Memories of the first effort
at aelf-govemment, the vlgllanto
committees, the hardships endured
In crushing Crimea such as rustling,
claim Jumping and horse stealing.
The 68 th annual reunion of the
pioneers of southern Oregon waa
huge success. The town of Jackson
ville waa young again. Once more
the flagstone walks, the horses and
buggies, the mines, the banks, the
general stores, the music and gayety
seemed to rule. Men wno knew the
town aa It was then Ignored the
sleepy atmosphere of the present tiny
and to them It was one thrilling, far-
flung frontier cf their boyhood. Im
aginations flickered. Old tired tyi
grew young ngnln, and old tired la
dle and gentlemen grew young again
Old gentlemen tapped their canes
And turned their thoughts back
through the years. Old eyes sparkled,
aa old wars and dangers were re
membered, and related.
Young gentlemen tapped their feet,
and turned their whole attention to
the stories that unfolded before their
eyes. Young eyes sparkled a the
ever new struggle to exist oml enjoy
life waa recounted by those who have
the r ght to advise.
Old ladles rocked In their chairs
and talked happily of the pies they
used to bake, of the meals they used
to cook for their tired men who wero
busy wresting what Is now the ftogue
valley from the wilderness. Old lu
dlos wistfully recalled the olden
times, when dunces In the town hali
were event to be talked about for
months before and after.
Young ladles sat primly on the
edges of their chair and listened
happily to the words of wisdom their
grandmothers had to any on the arts
of baking, sewing, and making happy
homes. Young ladles wistfully lived
with the old ladlea through the ex
citing parties of that day and inquired
about the fashions of that now far.
way time.
Now the story would be told of
the cougar that was treed and shot,
After killing a calf, In what la now
the city park at Ashland. That waa
' when there waa but one house In the
own.
Then the story, surprising and al
most unbelievable, told by F. D.
Swingle. That venerable gentleman
waa born In Jackson county, reared
In Jackson county, married In Lake
county and brought up his family
there. He now Uvea with his family
In Klamath county and has nevor
lived In any but the one house In
.which he was brought up I
Of all the pioneer who were char
ter members of the auocatlon, only
03 remain! Only two wore present
At the meeting yesterday; Mrs. Owen,
the oldest pioneer present, and Mis.
pwin Butler, The years are toklng
their toll of the fine old people, but
their apirit marches on, unquench
able. Their numbers are fewer, their
bodies are feebler, but their enjoy
ment of life, thtlr Interests and their
enthusiasms are aa young as ever.
The spirit of the last old timers la
beautifully expressed in the following
poem, written for the Pioneers' re
union September IS, 1863, by Mrs.
J. M. McCully, who was one of the
five women In the first train of nine
wagons to arrive in Jacksonville:
PIONKKKS SONO
(Tune: "Aula fcang Byne")
Should old times ever be forgot,
And never called to mind?
We'll yearly meet in friendship aweet,
For the early days lang syne."
Twas here we met aa Pioneers,
O'er thirty years ago;
We pitched our tents, staked off our
claims.
Prepared to mine and sow.
Together dangers here w met,
Beset by savage foos;
Together in this far-off land
We shared our Joys and woe,
Today we meet with glowing hearts,
To clasp the hard-worn hands
That tolled and fought In bygone
years,
And conquered aavage bands.
Our valley teems with beauty now,
Great plenty crowns our cheer;
Olve honor to whom honors' due
The brave old Pioneer.
Where'er we go In after life,
We never can forget
The tried old friends of early days.
As Pioneers we met.
