The last national aurvey waa made
In 1030. Scheffel said, when Mil air
ports were Investigated and It waa
dlsoovored that total Investment was
116.088.000. A tremendous Increase
I expected at the completion of the
present survey. ,
Breaking down the total Medford
investment figures, Scheffel an
nounced that the cost of the land
was the. greatest single expenditure,
at S27.400. Clearing, plowing, leveling,
fencing and roa4 building amounted

coat $3,234.74 and water line and
equipment cost $1,793.91, Contribu

Much rcderal Aid
In addition to the city expendi
ture on the airport, the federal gov

of which went toward lengthening
and widening the runway and con
structing drainage facilities, the city
superintendent explained.

This Includes the oil companies and
United Air Unea. Other Investments
of unnamed sum are the bureau of
air commerce airway teletype, the
United statea weather bureau station,
and tho United Statea army radio
station.
The national aurvey is being made
through the medium of two long
questionnaires asking for explicit de
tail. It took the city about two
weeks to complete the questionnaires.

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

farm house near Big Ridge Park,
Buxom Mrs. Bruntley has six chil

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,

Born In tho Union county ridges,
Brantley never has lived mow than

"When they sold the home plnco

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

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.

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. Last May, this same or
ganization united with the Klamath
