Newspaper Page TextTWELVE MTOfORD (OREGON) 100th Anniversary of Jacksonville Lodge, AF and AM, Noted in Ceremonies Saturday Jacksonville The 100th an niversary of Warren Lodge No. 10, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, was marked here yester day in an all-day observance. The dispensation for Warren lodge was issued early in Febru ary, 1855, by A. M. Belt, deputy grand master of the Masonic order. The first meeting was held March 15 of that year with 14 members present. Those present at the first meet ing included T. M. Patton, master: I. S. Lakin, A. M. Berry, S. M. Taylor, A. B. Carter, Lewis' Graff, Jacob' Soloman, I. S. Bur pee, James Tolman, members, and five visitors. Honored General The lodge was named In honor of Gen. Joseph Warren, who lost his life during the battle of Bunk er Hill. A Freemason, General Warren in 1772 was commission ed as Grand Master of Masons in Boston, and in 1773 his com mission was extended to include the continent of America. Warren lodge's first meeting after receiving its charter was on Aug. 25, 1885. On Aug. 28, at a continuation of this meeting, Wash French became a Master Mason, the first so designated in Oregon south of Salem. Late in September, arrange ments were made for a hall. In October, it was voted to share the building with the Sons of Temperance, an important or ganization at that time. In and Around Table Rock Table Rock The Will Hubard "family, residents of our commu nity for the past year and a half, where they operated a grade A dairy on the Ray Baker farm are moving to Eagle Point, where they will continue in the dairy business. The Hubbard dairy cows and the Vinson Vaughan cows will be merged, both herds being handled through the Vaughan facilities at Eagle Point and will be managed by Mr. Hubbard. The Hubbards have proved themselves to be excellent neighbors while living In our community and we, among others who have met with them, regret that they are leaving. . Jack Tharpe and Wayne Smith, maintenance and con struction men for Columbia Utilities have been working the past week in this district, mov ing lines to new poles and cut ting brush and trees from the right of way. Tharpe was for several years manager of the Central Point Mutual telephone company. Mrs. R. N. Day of New Or leans La., and Mrs. F. H. Reum of Medford were guests Satur day evening at a birthday din ner at the Dick Reum home giv en in honor of the two ladies' anniversaries which come about the same date. Mrs. Reum, moth er of Dick, had just returned from New Orleans, accompanied by her sister, Mrs. Day, at whose home she had visited for the past three months. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Timm, park superintendent and air plane spotter respectively, spent Tuesday vacationing at coastal points. Ray Bosworth, chef at Rich field Cafe, who has been eating quite a bit of his own cooking during his wife's stay in Kansas City, Mo., was pleasantly sur prised one evening recently, when a number of his pals from the restaurant, accompanied by his daughter, Miss Rae Bosworth of Medford, slipped in through the front door of his home with a prepared birthday dinner and had everything tastefully dis played on the table before call ing him from his work in the back yard and inviting him to come and help them celebrate his birthday. O. T. Wilson of Central Point, long distance farmer and fre quently a gift-bearer for club sisters of the local Ladies Club, was an early morning visitor here Monday. He claimed to have run into some smudge smoke and seen some ice on the way over. In reading the classified ads w Wednesday's Mail Tribune, found the price of beef had taken a terrific jump, as a front quarter of grain-fed beef was ad vertised for $30 a lb., but on the following day it had dropped to 30c a lb. Richard Krupp, fire-chief of the Central Point rural fire dept. with Ellis Fienstien, were in specting buildings in this com munity last Friday, and report no hazards, with the exceptions of some homes using fuses over 15 AMP on regular light or out let circuits. According to Chief Krupp, no fire permits will be necessary at present, but as soon as a system of rules is worked out permits will be granted after an inspection of the premises is made. The Gibbons Market, half way between Table Rock and Four Corners, is in the process of be ing enlarged to double its pres ent size, allowing much more floor space, display shelves, and counters according to B. and V. Failing, operators. The Failings are formerly from Texas, and although they think there's no place like Texas, they are well pleased with the southern Ore gon climate and scenery and well satisfied with .the progress MAIL TRIBUNE In April, 1887, a move was started to obtain a new build ing, and one of the members was appointed to solicit subscriptions. The lodge voted to pay him $5 a year and provide him with a horse for his work. A year later a building was constructed by Burpee and Linn for use by the lodge. The lodge hall was upstairs over the court house, which was located to the rear of the present Jacksonville courthouse building which now serves as quarters for the Jack sonville museum. Several other lodges received the sponsorship of Warren lodge. Among the earliest was Western ' Star lodge at Kirbyville, now known as Kerby, which was then located in Jackson county. On July 15, 1853. Phoenix Lodge No. 23 was chartered, but the charter was surrendered three years later and its members af filiated with Warren lodge. On July 17, 1875, the same charter with the same number was re issued to Ashland lodge, which still holds it. Warren lodge also acted as sponsor for Central Point lodge in February, 1908. First Senior Warden The first senior warden of Warren lodge was Patrick Dunn, whose son, George Dunn, a prom inent Ashland resident, and grandson, Pat Dunn, are still as sociated with Freemasonry in southern Oregon. Patrick Dunn was a represent of their business venture. In listening to Vice-Pres. Nixon's talk over the radio the other night we were given to understand that the dollar had been stabilized and would now buy what it used to before in flation set in. Going to town the next day we bought some small metal gadgets used in making repairs and we wondered where Dick does his trading and what he buys. At the last meeting of the Table Rock community club, E. C. Hamilton, recently retired ditch manager, was presented a gift as a token of appreciation for his more than thirty years of faithful service to patrons of the irrigation ditch and citizens of the community. Recent visitors here with-rel-afives were Mr. and Mrs. Elbert Bigham of antelope at the everett Brown home, and Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth White of San Jose, Calif., at the Bert Pierce home. The latest victim of the flu re ported here is Dick Reum who is confined to his home this week and unable to fulfill his position as teacher in the Talent schools. Mother's Dav orizes eiven at last Sunday's session of the local bunday school went to M$s. Arthur Doty, oldest mother pres ent, Mrs. Don Wheeler, young est mother, and the prize to the mother with the most children present to Mrs. Wm. Bishop. A fair sized crowd was in at tendance at the last meeting April 30 of the community club where the business meeting was followed by a' short program of music and skit, where Mrs. Ray Doran took the part of the good neighbor lady who came to ad minister to her seriously ill friend, the part of the sick lady being taken by Mrs. Roland Shope. The audience was kept in a hilarious uproar by the methods and remedies used by the good neighbor lady in trying to cure her friend, who at times seemed about to succumb while undergoing such harsh treat ment. Mrs. Alan Fleischer, di rector of the skit, also took the part of the capable nurse, who came to the rescue and straight ened tilings out before any fa talities occurred. In the Flight O' Times column of Wednesday's M. T. we noticed that 40 years ago the social life in the Table Rock community was so strenuous for that week that the correspondent failed to keep up with it, as there was something doing every evening. So we began to jog our memory and try to reconstruct things that might have been happen ing at that time. Starting with the school we found that C. E. Johnson was teaching the one room school with 27 pupils from primary to the eighth grade. S. C. Collins was chairman of the board and J. H. Lydiard was clerk. He had a baseball team that took on all comers. Vern Pendleton was captain, Clark Collins pitched. Ed Vincent worked behind the bat, and we called the strikes and balls. A tennis club with a court on what is now the Orville Hamilton farm furnished exercise and created sociability during sum mer evenings. The Arrowhead EATON'S Dinner House CLOSED FOR THE SUMMER! Sunday, May IS, 1953 ative for this area at the terri torial legislature at Salem at the time Warren lodge received its charter, and Dunn is credited with bringing the charter from Salem to Jacksonville. During its 100 years. Warren lodge has had three masters who became grand masters, heading the state Masonic organization. The first member of Warren lodge to be named grand master was W. W. Fowler, who in 1862 became the eighth man to hold that post. Fowler is credited by some with having built the first log cabin in Jacksonville. He also led a company of volunteers in the Indian wars of 1853. Second Man Second to hold state office was Thomas McFadden Patton, first master of Warren lodge, who served in 1872 and 1873. In 1873, Patton laid the cornerstone of the first state capitol building in Salem. Patton was the first Jackson county judge. Third member of Warren lodge to become grand master was Thomas G. Reames, who was named to the position in 1885. Reames is credited with being largely responsible for construc tion of the Masonic temple still in use in Jacksonville. A promin ent southern Oregon business man, Reames also served as deputy sheriff and sheriff of Jackson county, and in 1878, as the Democratic nominee, was narrowly defeated for Oregon secretary of state. Examinations Topic Of Physician For Health Association "Realistic Physical Examina tion and Realistic Medicine," will be the topic of Charles L. Newberry, M.D., Portland, at the annual meeting of the Jackson County Public Health association to be held Thursday, May 19, at noon at the YMCA social hall in Medford. Anyone interested in health and the prevention of disease in Jackson county is invited to attend, officers stated. Dr. Newberry will discuss such matters as why regular physical examinations are im portant to both the individual and the county, what constitutes good physical examinations, and how regular examinations can save both individuals and tax payers a great deal of money. Wide Experience Dr. Newberry has had wide experience. He was with the United States public health ser vice for 15 years, and was medi cal consultant for the northwest Indian service for a number of years. For the past five years he's been with the vocational rehabilitation division of the state- department of education. He will be introduced by Dr. Fred Lorish, Medford, president of the.Jackson County Medical societyN The meeting will include short reports from committees on chest x-ray clinics, sanitation, health education, mental health and dental health, as well as election of officers. As is traditional, the lunch eon will be potluck, with wo men attending asked to bring a dish, according to Mrs.-Chester Guches, president. A baby sit ter will be provided. Literary Society, with some 40 members of the younger set met twice a month and kept things moving, and might have been the cause of so much social life, for at that time they were re hearsing the two and a half hour comedy, "What Happened to Jones" which they put on in sev eral towns of the county. The Sunday school with more than forty members met each Sunday at the schoolhouse, followed by preaching services in the eve ning, one of the ministers being the late A. C. Hbwlett then liv ing at Eagle Point. Consolidation has left the schoolhouse vacant as far as school purposes are concerned. The Literary Society later be came the Community Club. Any thing, resembling a baseball team faded out many years ago, the old tennis club disbanded after many of the members left the community, but later was reorganized but again fell apart. A Sunday school is still holding forth' with a slightly smaller at tendance than that of 40 years ago. Of all the people who at that time were, making the so cial life so strenuous and taking part in the many activities only eight are living here now.

One of these is Dan Dyer. San Francisco, who at present is "anchored" at Camp White.

The sprits'l tops'l, he says, was used for maneuverability when it was Impossible to tack. It is only one of numerous char acteristics of these ships with their full sails, as contrasted with the clipper ship of later development.

The ships that sailed around the world in those days were the square sail type, which could only sail with the wind, he says. After 1720, the fore and aft rigging was designed to make it possible to sail against the wind by tacking. Until two years ago, Dyer was engaged in making ship models of this era. He has photographs of some of them, which are at present on exhibition in differ ent museums in various parts of the country.
