Jl MEDFORD MATL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. FRTDAY. MAY 23. 1911. PAGE SEVEN Old Logtown Cemetery Restored Through Effort of Small Group Big Applegate, May 22. (Spl.) A little band of people, with a common goal, and a lot of stick-to-itiveness are restor ing the cemetery of historic Logtown. Draw Bridge Traps Woman The little burial spot was near oblivion, when Mrs. Ed Smith at Ruch snatched it back into permanency by compiling a rec ord of its graves. Two years ago the Logtown cemetery associa tion was formed, and a name plate and gateway of rustic de sign were erected, letting the passing public know that the cemetery existed just off the Jacksonville-Ruch highway. And now it is the hope of the association to build a rustic fence of logs across the front of the grounds, and to connect new . wire fencing at the sides. Sani tary facilities also will be erect ed. It is to accomplish Uiis that another work day has been scheduled for Sunday, May 25, according to Mrs. Harry Whit ney of Jacksonville, publicity chairman. Everyone is asked to bring a basket lunch, and to meet at the cemetery at 10 a. m. Two weeks ago forty people from various sections of the county met and held highly successful work-day. The association held its an nual meeting and election of of ficers at Ruch Thursday with Glenn Smith and Mrs. Anna Davies new members of the board of directors. Mrs. Bill Winningham of Medford and Leonard McKee of Jacksonville retain their membership on the board with John Black as chair man. Burials still take place in the little cemetery. The first oc curred in 1862 when James Dunlap was laid to rest. The parents of John Jeffrey, Port land attorney, also are buried there. Logtown, now extinct, was a busy little mining village of 500 people at the junction of Forest and Poor Man's creek in the early 50 s. The town sprang up on the Jacksonville-Crescent City pack trail. rffiHHE (BE GO flDsBD? lW3 BROWNIE REFLEX Shows you the picture in full size in the finder before you take it.

Unless these cited packers and distributors adopt higher standards of quality and more truthful prac tices of gradiegs strict measures will be taken by the proper authori ties on behalf of the public welfare. . It is here suggested to house wives that greater care be exer cised in "giving preference" to brands marketed by packers and distributors of known Integrity. It Is also suggested that more atten tion be paid to the sires of tins offered at stated prices. Experience h a i demonstrated that little-known brands no matter how eheap they appear, may prove very unsatisfactory from the stand point of flavor and texture and from the standpoint of value re ceived. As a safeguard It Is advised that consumers confine their purchasing to brands of recognized merit and distributed by firms of known re sponsibility. Only by exercising this precaution can consumers be assured of obtaining honest values. Only by such precautions can con sumers be assured of highest qual ity, proper grading and maximum value for every shopping dollar. For absolute top quality. Royal Club canned foods can be purchased with complete confi dence. This brand has been a lead ing seller in this community for 5S years.

During the coming year the parent education work will be incorporated in the extension unit programs instead of being given through study clubs, Mrs Jones explained.

Mrs. Maris succeeds Dean Kate W. Jamison, who is retiring. AT ST.
