STEPS ARE TAKEN
TO PUCE PIONEER
Use of fingerprint, for Identifica
tion U ancient but the modern sci
entific system was not suggested un
til 1823.
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.
Henry Adolph Meyer passed away
at his home In the Lake Creek dis

HE'S GIVING HIS
NERVES
ffi.
HAVE you noticed how a dog, in the
midst of play, suddenly stops and
uitst His nerve system as complicated
and high-strung as our own has signalled
that it's time to relax! 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. When we hnd our
selves tense, irritable, upset, we may not
even realize why. Don't let tension tie your
nerves in a knot. Make it your pleasant
rule to break nerve tension often through
