Day Camp Site Selected
Near Logtown Cemetery
Medford Girl Scout Day
camp, slated from June 16
through 19, and June 23
through June 26, will be held
at a site near the pioneer
Logtown cemetery. Accord
ing to the day camp commit
tee chairman, Mrs. W. H.
Fischer and the camp director,
Mrs. Arthur St. German, plans
on being made for buses to
pick up the girls . starting
about 8:15 a.m. at Roosevelt
school for those on the east
side of bear creek; about
8:15 a.m. at the corner of
Eighth street near the city
library, and about 8:30 a.m.
at Arnold lane and Jackson
ville highway. The girls in
Jacksonville will also be pick
ed up about 8:30 to be taken
to Camp Logtown which is
six miles west of Jacksonville.
Plans for Scouts in the Jackson-Lincoln
neighborhood will
depend on how many girls
are registered.
Some of the history of pio
neer Logtown has been sup
plied the day camp commit
tee by Mrs. Thomas Eslinger,
of the established camp com
mittee. Mrs. Eslinger is a des
cendant of John McKee, one
of Logtown's original settlers,
who came to Oregon in 1852
from Missouri. Logtown was
a busy village of about 500
people and was named be
cause its buildings were of
logs. Located on the old Jack
sonville-Crescent City pack
trail, Logtown was never very
big, and most of the trading
was done at Jacksonville.
According to Mrs. Eslinger,
her aunt, Mary McKee Higgin
botham, who now lives near
Central Point, has told her of
how her mother, Minim Mc
Kee would take her children
into the fields to hide from
the Indians when it was neces
sary for her father, John Mc
Kee, to go to Jacksonville for
supplies. She has also spoken
of one of her sisters being
buried on the hill back-of the
house, before the Logtown
cemetery was started. Twelve
children were born to the
McKee's at Logtown.
John McKee was the town
blacksmith, repairing tools
and mining implements for
the white and Chinese miners.
The only thing to mark the
site of Logtown today, except
the cemetery, is the famous
"Logtown Rose." The first
rosebush planted in Jackson
county, and believed by some
to be the first in southern
Oregon, is yellow, was some
thing of a floral wondr in
Students
Are Guests
Three Medford High
school girls were guests at a
Zonta club luncheon Thurs
day at the Jackson hotel.
They were Miss Nancy Ad
ams, who attended Girl's
State at Willamette univer
sity last year under Zonta's
sponsorship. Miss De Wanda
Winchell, who will attend
Girls' State this year and
Miss Maureen McCurdy, who
will be awarded the Zonta
scholarship to Southern Ore
gon College in June at grad
uation. The Medford Zonta club
has established the custom of
classification talks from new
members. Speaking Thurs
day were Mrs. Eleanor Bolt,
co-owner of Homestead on
the Rogue, and Mrs. Olive
Lowry of the Newcomer's Ser
vice. Mrs. Bolt traced the devel
opment of motels from the
beginning when they, were
"auto-camps" to the modern
motels with swimming pools
and hotel service in the lux
ury class. Mrs. Bolt said that
the first auto camp was built
at Depoe Bay, Ore.', in 1914.
Auto-camps began to develop
about 1925 on the Pacific
coast; tourists at that time
having to carry a bed roll
and cooking utensils, she
said. At the present there are
60,000 motels in the U. S.
with 4,000 under construc
tion. Mrs. Lowry described New
comer's Service of which she
is owner and originator. She
explained the manner in
which the service functions to
inform new residents in Med
ford about business firms
and services, such as utilities,
about churches, schools and
cultural activities. Mrs. Low
ry also has a similar service
in Roseburg.

the 1870's, according to Mrs.
Eslinger.
Today, the Logtown rose
is in sad danger of being com
pletely exterminated, because
of people indiscriminately tak
ing slips, to start bushes of
their own. Tenative plans are
being made by the Girl Scouts
of the Medford District to
suitably mark and protect this
historic spot, so that girls in
future years may be able to
enjoy this rose that made the
long journey across the plains,
and has survived all the hard
ships to the present time.
John and Mirum McKee are
both buried in the Logtown
cemetery; Mirum' s- parents are
buried at Jacksonville. Aunt
Mary Higginbotham was born
at Logtown as was Mrs.
Eslinger's father, Ernest Mc
Kee. Logtown was destroyed
by fire.
