By Maude Pool Ralph Billing quoted vivid a acrlptlona from pioneer diaries. Sen ator A. Evan Reamea foreaaw a vol urn, gleaned from these. Moray Ap plegate sensed that young minds are turned only to the future. So It was that step by step, the afternoon sun brightened the old courtroom -wall, valley pioneers gathered In e2nd annual reunion at the Jacksonville court hou& Thursday built the first rough frame. work of a plan to preserve pioneer traditions in book form which every member of the .association would treasure dearly. It will be a long time project, years perhaps. It will tske money. As Senator Reamea graphically stated: "It will take a ateam roller process. but the pioneer descendants are already setting to work and the first committee was appointed to take charge of the collection of diaries, photos and letters, Prof. Irvlrlg Vln lng. Moray Applegate and Senator Reamea. "There la a shortage In the begin ning of thlnga In the valley." Prof. Vlnlng pleaded In the discussion of how this material might be collected. "The pioneers kept a detailed account of the trip across the plains but It would seem that their troubles were over, once they got here. I know of only one dlnry that continues the story of events aa this valley was seiuea, tnat or the Beeson family." But Moray Applegate had a pl.in with which to bridge this gap, sup plementing persons! correspondence of the early settlers. "The simplest letters of every day events reveal many Important things to fill In the blank space," Mr. Applegate said. "It Is not so much the course of events that we need as a picture of the personal character of those pio neers, what they thought and be llevcd," he continued. "We. the sons and daughters, can visualize this pattern of life. It la still In our memories, but we are the last con necting link with the past. The pic ture Is fast fading and when we are gone, and we won't be here so very much longer, so will the picture be gone forever. "The eyes of today are turned to ward a new environment radio, pic ture shows. They are not turned to the past, even though these young people are our own children." In an earnest appeal to the group Mr. Ap plegate urged each family to collect reminiscence to be placed In perman ent record for use In this volume. Emll Brltt. son of Oregon's first photographer, was called upon to supply photos. ' Senator Reamea put forth still an other Idea for this undertaking blank phonograph records. He haa a lullaby and story of his mother on a record. With these worthy objec tives ahead of them, the pioneers closed their meeting with a song written for the pioneers' reunion Sep tember 15, 1662, by Mrs. J. M. Mc-Cully. HUNTERS BAFFLED By PIONEER OF LAKE BIG APPLEGATE, Oct. 10. (flpl.) When J. H. Jenkins, Glendale, Cal., contractor, came to the Applegate to nunt he didn t expect to sleep In a house with five trees growing up through it. but that Is exactly what he Is doing at the home of Knox MoCIoy. The. whole business .baffles Mr. Jenkins, wjao Is used to stenog raphers, achltects and a complete of fice force when he plans a house. He Just doesn't know Knox as the neigh bors do. When Mr. MoCIoy gets ready to build a house he doesn't bother to clear up the ground for the purpose but concocts an arrangement of sod, clapboards and logs around the trees. Hence the ffve cedars In his dwelling, located near Frog Pond on the middle fork tributary of the Applegate river. When Mr. Jenkins and his compan ions, V. M. Wllburn of Los Anegels, and Harry Church of Eagle Rock, Cal.. go to bed, they climb the ladder to the straw In the loft. They are obliged to get up before breakfast; otherwise the motions of dressing cause straw to trickle down Into the bacon frying on the fireplace below. One night a woodrat ran away with Mr, Jenkins glasses. The Call Torn tans were packed on horseback to this remote section by Bert Harr. this being the fifteenth year that Mr. Church has hunted In that region. They are welcome u stay at the strange McCloy abodo. although their host Is not at home. He Is several ml tea distant at his Mo hawk mine, or at any time may go to one of his several odd homes In the mountains, one of which Is Inside a hollow tree where he reaches through a hole to do his cooking over the fire outsldo.

Man, unfortunately, is less sensitive to the warnings of his nerves. Though nerves may need a restful pause, we are inclined to press on in our absorbing tasks relentlessly forgetful of mounting nerve strain.
