Newspaper Page TextPAGE .TEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORP, OREGON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1939. PUBLIC IS ASKED TO HELP IN HUNT Fl Thomas C. Parker, acting auperin tendent of Crater Lake national park, today asked the help of the public In a search for Albert O. Goetze, 08-year old Asnland resident who disappeared shortly after noon on Sunday, September 34, while em ployed In the park as a saw filer. A thorough search of the park has been made daily by park employes. CCG enrollees and CCO foremen since Mr. Goetze's disappearance became known and further search of the park is considered futile, Mr. Parker said. The ground yesterday was cov ered with four to five Inches of snow, he added. Nevertheless, the search will continue In and out of the park, he asserted. Considering the possibility that Mr. Goetze might have left the park to visit at-some unrevealed destina tion without Informing-fellow work ers or park executives, Mr, Parker came to Medford late yesterday i to enlist public aid In searching for the missing man. ! Mr. Goetze had Intimated Just be fore his disappearance that he was ready to quit work, It has been learned. Mr. Goetze Is of slight build, being five feet, eight Inches tall And weigh ing 135 pounds. He has white hair which he wears cut high and short. He has a slight limp In his left leg. His home Is at 296 Palm avenue, Ashland. His picture Is published on page 1. Mr. Goetze : worked alone In a de tached shop In the park and so his disappearance was not known until Tuesday noon, two days after It is believed he disappeared. As soon as his disappearance became known, an extensive search was organized by J. Carlisle Crouch, chief ranger, Anyone learning anything concern ing the whereabouts of Mr. Goetze was asked by Mr. Parker to notify the park service. LLANO, Texas (AP) A. P.

Mayor W. W. Chadwlck was empowered to call a meeting of the heads of fraternal and civic groups to draft a campaign for the observance of the city's hundredth anniversary. - The house, occasion for the cele bration, which was built by Jason Lee, pioneer missionary, Is still stand ing. Oregon' history shows that the building was distinctly the fore-runner of modern Salem although the city was not Incorporated until 1860. Parenthetically, some records show that the first house built by white men In the Willamette valley was built In 1813 Just north of Salem near the present Oregon school for the deaf. Jason Lee, with other Methodist missionaries, started a mission at Wheatland Ferry, 13 miles north of Salem, In 1834. The site proved to be unsatisfactory and In 1840 he came south and built the house which proved to be the start of the present city of Salem. The little set tlement was at first called Cheme- kata. The same year a grist mill and saw mill were built and the town became known as The Mills. The following year, a manual training school for the Indians was built on the' present site of Willamette university and the city took on its third name, Institute. Later the trustees of the Methodist church bought the school building and grounds and established Willam ette university. In 1846, the records show, William H. Wilson entered a donation land claim for a large part of the present site of Salem and two years later the claim was divided Into lots. Another two years passed before the platting was officially filed and the -town given its present name. It became the capital of the state a year later and was finally incor porated In 1860.
