A MA!L TRIBUNE. Mtifori, Oregon, Sutidty, Jinuary J3, 13 MOT Today is one of those days Potpourri wishes the front page of. pictures could be in color. Black and white just doesn't bgin to show the Applegate valley ' residents in their true colors. For instance, Lynn Valentine's plaid shirt and rich red vest (Mrs. V. made the vest herself of special material) would add a splash to the page. Then there's Boyd Gibson's beard. In all Jackson county maybe not even in all Oregon, is there a Centennial beard to equal Boyd Gibson's. It is full and glossy and the most beautiful red imaginable. It is tAily a pity the beard cannot be reproduced today in all its glory. ' . I Color would be interesting1 for the gowns, too. Some of these are heirloom dresses handed down in Applegate fami lies for years, and others have been made in keeping with the Centennial spirit. At the party last Saturday night Mrs. Holland Smith Wore a gown which originally belonged to Lloyd Hamlin's grandmother. The dress is linen, in the natural linen color, and is made with a close-fitting bodice, long skirt trimmed with tucks and self-covered buttons". f The gown which Mrs. Lance Offenbacher wore first be longed to the late Lee Port's mother. It is of black and white cotton of unusual pattern, and is trimmed with black lace. '.' f For the dinner Mrs. Edward Henderson wore a handsome black" gown which belonged to Kathryn Offenbacher, who with her husband, Valentine Offenbacher, settled in Oregon in 1879. They were immigrants from Germany.. While everyone apparently was having a good time, one man was particularly enjoying the event, Valoris Haskins, 88, who was born near the Applegate valley and who has lived in southern Oregon all his life, said with deep feeling This is one of the happiest days of my life." Everyone calls Mr. Haskins "Val" and he explained .that the unusual name of Valoris had been given him by his parents because one of their friends bore the name. 5 v Mr. Haskins enjoyed his dinner and then smoked a cigar. When asked to join a group on the Grange hall stage for a picture, he didn't bother to walk around to one of the sets of stairs at either side. He climbed up in his chair and then stepped on the stage, very nimbly indeed for a man almost 90. ' Potpourri and Mr. H. talked for a time, and he said that his mother, who was Jeanette Beswick, and his father, Wil liam Haskins, had crossed the plains in 1852. They settled near Uniontown, and his father mined. Later he operated a wagon shop and followed the blacksmith's trade. ?. Bert Clute was another "old timer" at the dinner. Mr. CJute has lived in Oregon for more than 70 years and is looking forward to other Centennial events with eagerness. : H. J.' Arnold and Mrs. Arnold drove all the way from Butte Falls to the Upper Applegate Grange hall for the din ner. Mr. Arnold, another native, son. was born near Squaw lake, and has enjoyed watching the progress of his state and cpunty throughout the years. ' ' -j i .: - -j . . . .... ... ' '; Even the food at the dinner had the pioneer touch. Among other dishes there was elk stew, meat loaf made from bear, dried corn cooked in milk, corn bread, homemade bread and delicious baking powder biscuits. Potpourri's first dessert was a piece of the good homemade bread, slathered with but ter. We say "first dessert' advisedly. After eating the bread and butter, along came an apple pie which we couldn't resist, so that was our second, dessert, - . ; ' to Potpourri didn't take a contribution for the food, but the Tromans went armed with a huge pot of beans which Marian V.- had cooked, starting the day before in true pioneer style. By; the ,time Photographer Bob and Potpourri had finished taking pictures, we had to scrape the bottom of the bean" pot in order to get a sample - they looked delicious and were, too. After dinner was over and. the tables cleared away, a group of four musicians played for dancing. They jwefe Rodney Snyder, Chester Snyder, John Bettencourt and Rob ert Rametes. The dinner and dance were truly a community event. Several organizations cooperated with the Centennial committee, and even the school children did their share. Children in the fifth and sixth grade of the Applegate school made the hall decorations. ' " r ; " :' ' i -'. .. Mrs. E. E. McGrew called in last week to say she thought the postman on their rbute was wonderful. He delivered a package, colored slides which had been sent to Hollywood to be developed, which was addressed only to "Mrs. E. E." Since it didn't even, say Medf ord, Mrs. McGrew wasn't quite sure how it had even arrived in the--city., .When. Postman Ivan Lantz arrived at the McGrew's door with the package, he said "This must be for you you people are the only ones I know who receive this kind of mail from Hollywood." The McGrews, who live at 1433 East McAndrews" road, would have been sorry indeed to have the slides lost, for they had been taken during the holidays.
