The new building will be a low modern type of structure of Log Town Rose in Bloom; Garden Club Gives Help By Teresa L. Jones Some eight years ago, Fred Law, a grand nephew of Mrs. Miriam McKee, wrote a touching and beautiful poem about a little yellow Castilian rose that is mak ing a valiant, though almost los ing fight, to grow and stand as a living monument to a sturdy group of pioneer men and wom en who came to Oregon with Stardust in their eyes and hopes for gold dust in their hands with which to help to build a great state for them and their children. The rose, all that is left of the rip-roaring, crowded, gold-rush town of Log Town, has lived on. Carried across the plains, it was planted in the early sixties by Mrs. McKee, and has almost miraclously held a small foot hold near the highway. Last summer was so dry that it nearly lost its long fight. This spring the Jacksonville Garden club appointed two of its mem bers, Mrs. William Wlnningham and Mrs. Lee Port, to ask the state highway commission either to do something to protect it or to give them permission to do so. Rose Protected They very promptly put a crew on the job. As a result the little rose is now protected by a ring of rocks and three posts, all of which are painted a glistening white. Mrs. Wlnningham was seen with her gardening tools busily doing the clean-up Job of the rose itself. Now If this summer should again prove so dry, perhaps some of us could think to bring a little water to the rose so that the work of these nice folks won't prove useless. It sure is a won derful thing when people will take time out of their busy lives to help sn humble a thing as a rose to keep a small piece of ground a beauty spot for us all to enjoy. It is to be hoped that the stale will think this rose to be of enough historic Importance to order some type of a marker, perhaps a copy of Law's poem under glass. brick vaneer, and has a floor area of 6,850 equare feet. Beside the chapel, the building consists of a relief society room, a baptismal font, five class rooms, a stage, a kitchen and large recreation room for dances, parties and other forms of recreational activ ities. The building will be financed partly by the church headquar ters in Salt Lake City and in part by local people. The Medford congregation has slowly been ac cumulating its part of the money for the past four years. Members financed and built a two bed room house and sold it, have held cooked food sales, money-raising entertainments, and they also had a fund left from compilation of the city directory. The greater part of the money has come from direct contributions and the house project. Since the local branch does not have its full share of the money most members will do nate money and labor during the construction. The church head quarters have set a standard that no buildings will be dedicated for use until they are paid for completely. Estimated cost of the building and furnishings is $75, 000. The building committee in cludes H. J. Peterson, C. E. Zur cher, Len Crum and Merle Walk er, who will be in charge of construction. Gold Hill Gold.
