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.
