HICKORY HOLLOW, Tenn. (UP Georgo Brantley, 80-ycar old father of a Bix-woeks old child, tapped the last nail In place and atepped back to admire the cradle he had Just completed. Brantley had made many cradles for families In the Hickory Hollow section near Knoxvltlo, but this one wile the first crib In more than 60 years of married life he had made for t child of hla own. ' "Lusty little Alice Dale Brantley waa born to Bruntley and hla 41 jear old wife in their two-story farm house near Big Ridge Park, Buxom Mrs. Bruntley has six chil dren by a previous marriage. Brant ley was married the first time 60 years ago, and that marriage lasted nearly half ft century, but there were no children. The 80-yoar old futhor who waa a barefoot boy when the Civil wnr troops marched through the Ho.iow, sAid Alice Dale waa hla first child. Born In tho Union county ridges, Brantley never has lived mow than 14 miles from his birthplnce.

They came from all over the coun try and my wife's letter waa in the bunch. "I sat down and answered some of the letters from the distant parts, but I figured It waa easiest Just to go over the ridge and anawer the letter In person." Brantley, also a skilled carpenter, farmed a 30-acr homestead near Loyston for many years. When he moved out ahead of the encroaching Norrls lake waters, he bought his present home 30 miles away. "If I live. I'll probably keep It until Alice Dale la old enough to take over with a farmer htisbaud of her own," he said.

First Crater Lake Trip By Motor in 1 907 Took 3 Days of Hard Driving CRATER LAKE. Aug. 13.(8p1.) Medford to Crater Lake In three days via Klamath Falls waa a record aet 90 years ago August 14 by Charles True when he drove the first auto mobile ever to reach the lake rim. True, now a park employe here, was today recalling Incidents of the record-breaking automobile trip made under adverse conditions. He left Medford early August 11, driving a two-cylinder 1906 Keo with a top cruising speed of perhaps 16 miles per hour. After long hours of driving he reached the summit of the Oreensprlng mountain, where camp was established barely 30 miles from home The next day Klamath Falls was reached. The present bustling metropolis was then still a village clustered around Link river. Major difficulties were, encountered In the next lap from Klamath Falls to Fort Klamath. True was advised not to attempt the Journey with an automobile but. undaunted, be set out. Rocks were large and numerous In the roadway. They stuck up in the road. Tney were not high enough to trouble wagon traffic but offered problems for low-hung automobiles. Stones were laboriously removed to permit the car to go ahead. The en tire day was spent on the trip. Fort Klamath was reached on the evening of August 13. The same trip can now be made in an hour True was again advised not to at tempt the drive to Crater Lake, and especially to the rim, aa he had an nounced. Hla machine ploughed through deep pumlse dust to a point Just above the present park head quarters. Here he wae confronted with the steepest climb of the entire trip. It was a terrific strain even on horses to make the last pull. The road to the rim at that time followed a far different route from i the present easy ascent. The climb I up was hardly over a mile from park In excess or 30 per nent. Tha trusty Reo would Jump forward five or six feet at a time. The rear wheels would be immediately blocked. After two hours of Jumping, True and his car arrived on the rim, stopping where the present Crater Lake lodge la located. A log cabin was standing there then tt served as a summer abode for William Gladstone Steel, later park superintendent and park com missioner. He welcomed True. The latter was accompanied by a friend, William Hodson, who engineered the wheel blocking. Steel congratulated True on the feat of driving the first auto to the rim edge. Outside of Judge Steel, the oar. True and Hod son, the area was completed!? de serted and, of course, entirely unde veloped. In 1912 True began driving stages for Court Hall of Medford. A fee of 29 was asked for the 80-mlle trip from Medford to the park, the Jour ney taking an entire day with lunch at Prospect. Pumice dust waa so deep that passengers were forced to get out and push, especially on a stretch a short distance below Pros pect. On the route above Union Creek, volcanic ruts became so deep that on one occasion True's machine became lodged on the center. None of the four wheels was touching ground He was driving alone and was forced to wait all night before help arrived. In the 'early part of the season, True recalled, It was the obligation of the stage company to open the road to travel. Crews of men were engaged to shovel snow and repair chuck holes on the right of way. Today, True Is still connected with park activities and for a number of years past has been employed by the national park service as a senior truck driver, covering road sections in two or three hours where a day Falls chorus and the 6.R.O. sign ap peared early in the evening at the Pelican theater In that place. The Medford Klwanls . club has sponsored the Medford Qleemen for the last two years and in August. 1936, it was James Stevens who went to Seattle to attend tha northwest district Klwanls convention and who "stole the show." according to those attending. His presence was greatly desired at the convention to be held In Portland this year. Two years ago, it was their director who sug gested Christmas carols and led his carolers to various parts of Medford and surroundings for this fraclous custom. "Jim WAS the Gleemen," said one of the members yesterday. "We mar veled at his patience. There were never any outbursts of temper, and every slight musical talent was en larged. How we can go on without him, I don't know, but perhaps we'll try, for his sake." "We'll try." That Is the spirit which Jim Stevens evoked and the rich legacy which he has left. The deathless reality. FALLING WORKER KILLS BYSTANDER SAN FRANCISCO.

James Stevens Beloved As Man, Artist, Teacher (By Jr unease Butler.) When the light of one friendship after another passes from earth to heaven, we kindle In place thereof the glow of some deathless reality," writes a distinguished author of a past age, expressing a sentiment which voices what Is in the thought and heart of those who best knew and loved "Jim" Stevens. Beloved he was. and still Is, and the "glow" of many a "deatrnesb reality" has been kindled and will remain, to en lighten, encourage and endow with purpose, those who would enrich the world around them with whatever talents they may have. The glorious gift of song, the gen erous sharing of that gift again and again whenever and wherever needed, the Infinite patience with those who looked to him for musical guidance, the sanity and balance of his tem perament, the sanguine outlook and uncomplaining endurance In the presence of great physical suffering, the appreciation and encouragement of all artistic ability. In the halting beginner as well as m the finished artist, these ae the realities which are "Jim" and which are indeed deathless, the qualities which endear and thus endure in everlasting memory. Many In Medford and the valley know more or less of James Stevens' public career and are proud of hav ing been his fellow townsman, but it is the "Jim" they knew right In Medford, the "Jim" who sang for tho Rotary or Klwanls or Lions club, for church services, memorial servloes, before small groups or large assem blies, that Medford will remember and cherish, the "Jim" who "Just hang for his friends," as Editor R. W. Ruhl one expressed It, In a review of one of Mr. Stevens' concerts. Most generally known in Medford through his leadership of the Med ford Gleemen, a question now being heard Is whether this organization will continue, a question which this writer Is not prepared to answer at this time. James Stevens organized the Medford Gleemen. the chorus which made Its first public appear ance at the dedication of the new Jackson county courthouse on Sep tember 1, 1032.' In this organisation many voices were developed Individ- I ually, and due to to this fundamental training by Director Stevens, mem- ! bers of the chorus appeared as solo ists on various ocastons. Two concerts were given every year by the Gleemen. During National . Music week, when the writer waa the 1 local chairman, the Gleemen gave a concert at the Holly theater which was conceded to be the finest mus ical event by local talent ever held In Medford.
