July 27, IMS Med Treasure t Author's Two Names Enhances Value of Book John Galsworthy's "The Is land Pharisees" is not one of his better known works. Liter ally it doesn't rank with "The Forsyte Saga," and as a collec tor's item it lags far behind his earliest pieces that appear ed under the nom de plume of John Sinjohn. I was somewhat surprised to learn through a book deal er that a friend had author ized him to pay up to $40 for a copy of "The Island Phari sees," provided it was in ex cellent condition. The dealer thought the or der would be relatively easy to fill. He knew that it had sold at less than $20 on sev eral occasions during the past decade. But when it came to buying a good copy, that was another matter. The 312-page book, pub lished in London in 1904, by William Heineman, was issued in green cloth, both in the first and second issues of the first edition. "LIBERTY BELL" MUG SPORTS SNAKE HANDLE The only part of the mug I could see was that section where the handle is, but since the handle was in the form of a snake it seemed worth investigating. Generally speaking, the snake has so few friends that whenever it is used on any kind of an art-form, the piece is pretty sure to be unusual. This case was not an excep tion. When the proprietor fi nally got the piece out I saw that it was what is known as a "Liberty Bell" mug, one of the souvenir pieces put out by the thousands at the Philadel phia Centennial Exhibition, celebrating the 100th anni versary of the Declaration of Independence. ... Though I have heard of one of these mugs being found in amber glass, I have seen it in only two kinds clear glass and milk white. This one was in the latter. On one side of the mug was a .representation of the Liber ty Bell. On the other were LIBERTY HALF-PENNY HAS Though most of the prod- ucts of the early U.S. Mint may not be noted for their . . , ucu.yf nicy wcic axiu are creditable pieces of work, the date 1796. The difference be lowly half-cent piece being no tween the two kinds lies in exception. And so when an acquaint- ance acquired a 1796 half-cent piece that, turned out to be a pretty crude job in com- parison ,to others that also hadn't seen much use, he was considerably disappointed. It was a counterfeit, one that was apparently made by a well-known collector half a century or so ago. But since counterfeits of the 1796 half-: cent are almost as rare as the original, they have a col- lector's value as well. There are two legitimate half-cent pieces of that date, To the casual .glance, the ob- verse or face on each is as much like the other as the reverse which is identical. Ashland Youths Fined, Sentenced Ashland Three Ashland youths were fined and sen tenced to jail Friday in justice court by Justice Lee Wilmeth. Gold Hill Woman Seeks Judgment Mrs. Etta , Mae Williams, route 1, box 306, Gold Hill, is seeking a $19,950 judgment from Mrs. Josephine Louise Malot, 3009 .Table Rock rd., Medford, on the basis of in juries she allegedly received on Feb. 20, 1958, according county courthouse records. Mrs. Williams claims she received permanent injury to her left arm and hand, and that she suffers headaches and pain as the result of a two car accident at East Fifth and Bartlett sts., Medford. She re- in one of the accident ve hicles, operated by Mrs. Ma lot. Representing the plaintiffs are the Medford attorneys Hugh B. Collins and James A. Redden Jr. SENTENCED Edward Neff, Grants Pass, was given a three-year, su spended sentence by Circuit Judge H. K. Hanna Friday morning after he pleaded guil ty to charges of burglary not in a dwelling. The distinguishing differ ence between the two lay in the list of novels published in the front of the book. In the first issue the novel, "Uriah the Hittite" is listed as written by Wolf Wyllarde That was a mistake that was discovered by the time the second issue went to press when the author's name was corrected to read "Dolf Wyl larde." But while that was the dis tinguishing point about the book, it was not an explana tion why the buyer was will ing to go so high for a good copy. The reason for that I learn ed only after a satisfactory copy had been found, and at $45. The book is the one that gives both of the author's names on the title page. He is listed thus "John . Gals worthy (John Sinjohn) Au thor of 'A Man of Devon,' 'Villa Rubein,' etc." the dates 1776-1876 and the inscription "100 Years Ago." On the base was another in scription "Manufactured at the Centennial Exhibition by Gillinder & Sons." Accordng to the price marked on the piece with a grease pencil, it was $2, but the proprietor said I would have to pay $3. It was worth the extra dollar for the trouble he had had in getting it out of the window. I paid it with only a minor protest. Even in clear glass these little mugs usually bring from $10 to $20, and in the much rarer milk white $35 is not too hige a price. The reason is that the Phil adelphia firm that made it produced a large line of cen tennial pieces for which there are plenty of collectors. But though the mugs were said to have been produced in sub stantial quantity, for some reason they are far scarcer to day than many other of the items in the line. CAP AND POLE , The design on the obverse is simple. Under the word "B?R77 pp?a uffa1.! head, facing right. Behind it ig a Bel jg tfa the cap. If the cap is supported by a pole, it is' the less valuable, ranging from $100 to $300 If there is no pole, it is worth from $200 to $500 or more. So far as I have found, all the counterfeits that -have been made of this coin are of the one with the pole. To determine whether one of these half-cent pieces is a counterfeit it is necessary to compare it with a legitimate one. The evidence does not lie in the quality of the metal but in certain characteristic marks in the die. My acquaintance sold his counterfeit for $75. (Released by McClure Newspaper Syndicate) All three youths had been con victed of road sign vandalism.

A. Robt Smitb ve sev eral hundred displaced Ore- gonians living here could see this without any stretch Ore. Lumberman Jailed on Charge Of Manslaughter Steamboat Springs, Colo. (UPI) A 25-year-old Oregon lumber worker was jailed Fri day on a charge that he struck his infant daughter in Sep tember, 1956, causing a brain injury which, killed her last April. The lumber worker, Wel- don Paul Lane, pleaded inno cent to manslaughter when arraigned before Justice of the Peace H. E. Coombs. He was bound over to district court and held in the Routt county jail here in $2,000 bond. Lane had not posted the bond late Friday and had not engaged an attorney, accord' ing to the Routt county sher iff's office. Lane's daughter, Beverly Jean, died April 13 at a Port land, Ore., hospital. An au topsy disclosed - she had suf fered a brain injury. Tells Authorities The baby's mother, Mrs. Pa tricia Smith, told authorities that in September, 1956, Lane struck the infant with a nurs ing bottle, while they were living at Yampa, Colo., in Routt county. District attor ney Harry Hogan of The Dal les, Ore., where Lane's for mer wife now lives, communi cated her testimony to District Attorney Worth Shrimpton of Routt county. Shrimpon pre ferred a manslaughter charge against Lane. Lane was arrested at Yampa Monday by Sheriff A. B. Rit ter, and arraigned Friday. Ritter's office said Lane is a native of Eagle, Colo. In 1956, when he is alleged to have struck his daughter, he was working for the Edman Lumber company near Yam pa. His wife, now Mrs. Smith, divorced him subsequently and now lives at The Dalles. Lane's mother makes her home at The Dalles, and he considers it his home. He re turned to Yampa for a time in 1957 and again this year. Two Appear in Court On Assault Charges Richard Wayne Imhausen, 25, of route 1, box 397B, Med ford, and Jack Wayne Thorn ton, 25, of 3375 Dark Hollow rd., Medford, were arraigned in district court this week on charges of assault and battery Judge pro tern A.

Riverside Ave. of Rediscovered Song of the imagination the other night as we sat on the banks of the Potomac and listened to the first rendition of a new symphonic arrangement of "Oregon, My Oregon." Special Concert This was a special concert performed outdoors to honor both the state and its "redis covered" song, as well as Her man D. rvenin, newiy-eiecxea president of the American Federation of Musicians, who is from Portland. The AFM musicians did penance for not knowing until recently that Oregon even had state song. They not only performed it beautifully, if controversially, but . invited prominent Oregonians here to a dinner beforehand at the Statler. As Sen. Wayne Morse told the audience at the outset, Oregonians here went to ban quet after banquet for years without ever hearing "Ore gon, My Oregon" while other states were being recognized by their state songs. "But we have a detective on the Oregon congressional dele gation," said Morse. "He's Charlie Porter. He rediscov ered the Oregon state song and is the spirit behind this occasion tonight." Hears of Complaint Kenin, hearing about Port er's complaint that Washing ton, D. C, musicians didn't know the Oregon song, sent the congressman the sheet music to be. passed around to local orchestras. Now they all know it and play it. So the other night the mu sicians did it up brown, with a 55-piece symphony orches tra. They gave it the Cecil B. DeMille treatment that was nothing like what we sang in 4-H club summer camp1, as one young Oregonian put it. After a long, moving slow- beat arrangement that was heavy with soft violins, the orchestra charged into the martial gallop and the Ore gon pioneer picked up his rifle and yelled "Fifty - four forty or fight." Played on Radio This part of the program, plus some commentary by Kenin and Porter, was played not only for about 5,000 list eners on the river bank but over a Mutual network radio hookup that went coast-to- coast. Porter commented that some people object to the words of ."Oregon, My Ore gon" but he found them full of rich meaning. What do the words tell us, he asked. Land of the Empire Build ers ' bilders of an empire based on hard work, courage and tolerance of the other fel low's views; Land of the Golden West- golden refers to sunsets and how we feel, not to material wealth; Conquered and held by freemen we shall ever be in debli to the free men and women who bravely pioneer ed our land; Fairest, Best Fairest and the best no question about this; Onward and upward ever, forward and on, and on . there is still pioneering to be done in our great state, hard but satisfying work for all of us; Hail to thee, land of Heroes, My Oregon heroes, indeed, all those who seek to be worthy t of this many-blessed portion of our great nation. Congressman Porter called them "fitting words for stir ring music." Kenin told the audience the WESTINGHOUSE NUTONE OTHERS song would be heard a lot next year during the Oregon Centennial celebration.
