Jacksonville Hotel Given
World Famous Ranking
New Tork Clty'a board of edu
cation recently adopted a six-year
building progrsm providing for 337
new elementary schools at a coat
Of t233.43S.95t.
The well known V. S. hot) In
Jacksonville, outstanding In Southern
Oregon history, hsa been lifted Into
even greater prominence and classed
among the historic hotel of th
world, according to the following
excerpt from book, "Historic Hotels
of the World," by Robert B. Ludy,
M. D.:
"Oregon's diminutive city of Jack
sonville, which Ilea in the southern
part of the state not far from the
California border, ha a little hlstorlo
hotel, and Its history seems to hav
been commenced and enacted on th
first day It was opened. The site,
however, waa more or less hlatorlo.
The U. S. hotel Is a small brick
building erected In 1880, although
there waa a hotel built on the site
early In the fifties. In 1858 It was
managed by Austin Bodger, and con
tained the ofllce of the Oregon and
California stage line opernttng be
tween Sacramento and Portland. In
187t It was destroyed by fire, when
Its registers were consumed. It Is
said that many men of prominence
In the pioneer days stopped there.
"In 1880 the present building, called
the U. 8. hotel, was opened under
th management of Madame Holt, a
French woman. Ita first guests were
President Hayea and General Sher
man. who, with their party, were
touring the Paclflo coast. Th house
waa not ready for ocoupanoy, but
Madame Holt took great pains to ac
commodate her distinguished guests
They occupied quarters in the corner
rooms over the main entrance. Not
used as a hotel for some years, the
building Is now occupied by the city
of Jacksonville a a public audito
rium, museum and library."

FOREST CENTERS
OF REST AND PLAY
READYKPUBLIC
Camps, Fishing Spots Lure
Week-End Vacationers
Roads in Good Condition
Scenic Jaunt Advised
The following recreational bulletin
waa Issued today by Rogue River na
tional forest headquarters:
"All campgrounds are In good con
dition; roads throughout the forest
are In good condition although
dusty. Tlie fishing teems to have
been fairly good during the past
week and will probably continue so
tnis week-end.
"Limit catches of trout have been
made In the middle fork and south
fork of the Rogue river, In the Blue
canyon lakes and the Seven lakes,
Most of the catches have been made
with fllee, grasshoppers and small
spoons. Perch are being caught at
Lake of the Woods, and Eastern
Brook with still fishing at Fish lake.
Sllveratdes, Rainbow and a few East
ern Brook are taken at Fourmlle
lake by trolling with flashers. Plana
are being made to have ten boats
available at Fourmlle lake this week
end.'
Applegate Fair
"Trolling has brought good catches
of Rainbow in Klamath lake. Hyatt
lake waa very poor over the holiday.
Casting with spinners has brought
excellent luck at Sky lakes during
the past week. The south fork of
Little Butte, above the campground
at Dead Indian Soda springs, has
afforded good angling. On Carberry
creek, gray hackle and coaenman
flies have brought catches of rather
small fish. Up the middle fork of
the Applegate river and its tribu
taries fishing Is fair. Good catches
havo been reported from the Big
Applegate, while poor luck lias been
experienced at Squaw lake.
"Traffic Is light in the Butte Falls
area and there are no road crews
working at this time. The Applegate
roads are mostly In good condition
with only moderate traffic. The
Lake of the Woods roads are being
heavily traveled. The Siskiyou sum
mit road la open to Dutchman's
peak but closed by snow drifts be
tween Dutchman's peak and Ash
land peak.
"The trip to Seven lakes Is still
not recommended because the last
three miles of the trail are still cov
ered with snow, which In some places
forms 16-foot drifts.
Scenic Drive
"At this time of year, a drive Is
suggested over the new road to And
erson butte. Drive from Medford to
Talent and from Talent to the And
erson creek road. The Anderson creek
road Is posted to the top of the I
ridge between Anderson creek and
Little Applegate. At tula gap turn
to the right and this road goes along
the Goat Cabin ridge to Anderson
Butte, wfetch la 30 miles from Med
ford. From the ridge road an excellent
view can be obtained of the Siskiyou
and Applegate country. Many of the
wild horses have disappeared, but a
few still run on Little Applegate
watershed and may often be seen on
the open hillsides of Goat Cabin
ridge. The lookout on Anderson
Butte la the main point of Interest.
This drive Is a very enjoyable one
because of Its scenic charm and also
because the road la In good condition
all the way.
"Another route can be taken In
returning to Medford by driving back
down to the Anderson creek road,
then down Rush creek to Little Ap
plegate road to the main Applegate
road. Tills road down Little Apple
gate Is In only fairly good condition."
