6 B Medford TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1961 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. By OREO MOKES Mill Trlbunt Staff Wilt.r It ti the tfternoon of Feb, 24, 1885. Sometime postmaster J. S. Howird has juit placed a telegram from Salem In the window of his dry goods store on South Front st, , A small crowd has gathered round the window. They read that Oregon Governor Z, F. Moody; has today signed document proclaiming this little railroad community to be the "Town of Medford.' The news Is received with mixed emotions. Some of the townspeople are Jubilant and run through the muddy streets shooting their revolvers haw lessly Into the air. Others are not so happy, One particularly irate citizen, for reasons unknown, blames Howard for what has happen. ed and takes a shot at him. Fortunately he misses, Some people couldn't care less. Settle Down to Task But it Isn't long before most of the few hundred townspeo ple have settled down to the serious task of making a re spectable city out of a com munity that boasts nearly as many saloons as it does homes. Medford in 1885 is not un like hundreds of other small frontier communities that have sprouted up like weeds along the shiny new railroad tracks that are crisscrossing the west, Many of these towns will soon die. But the hardiest of them survive. Medford Is among these. Will Complete Its 75th Year as Incorporated Town Friday On Friday, the city of Med ford will have completed the first 75 years of its existence and will be entering its 78th, A lot has happened in these first 75 years, much more than even the most optimistic of the founding fathers could have predicted In the next 75 years, a lot more will happen, But few people here now realize that had it not been for the self-confidence and cocky attitude of the populace of Jacksonville, Medfprd would not be here today, In those days Jacksonville was the largest and most pros. perous city In southern Ore gon, Next to Astoria, it was the oldest incorporated city In the state. It was the county seat of Jackson county; It was in the center of rich mining country; and Its whole glori ous future lay before It, Pick Jacksonville As Stop So In 1883 It was only log ical that when the promoters of a new railroad, called the Oregon and California rail road, desired to extend their line from Grants Pass Into California, they pickod Jack sonville as their next most likely stop. These promoters approach ed the then-prosperous city fathers of Jacksonville and asked them if they wished to advance a $25,000 bonus to assist in extending the rail road into their fair city, But they were quickly re buffed, The city fathers then felt that no railroad could af ford to bypass such a pros perous city as Jacksonville, so why give them a cent? The railroad promoters, however, had different Ideas, They decided that instead of routing their line through Jacksonville and across the Applegete valley, they would extend It the length of the Rogue valley and across the Slskiyous near Ashland. Still Need Stopping Point But, as they still needed stopping point in this section of the valley, they decided to create their own town, five miles east of Jacksonville. The name that was first given to this new town was Middle-Ford." This name was apparently selected because the townsite was located near a popular crossing of Bear creek, then known as Stewart creek. However, one David Lorlng an engineer for the railroad, was from Medford, Mass,, and decided to shorten the name to Medford. Thus was the city named. The railroad purchased a townsite of 20 acres; the boun daries of which today would be roughly, Riverside eve., Jackson at,, Oakdale ave., and lztn st. Bulldi First Store J. S. Howard, a government surveyor, helped to plat the townsite, and he officially founded It on Dec, 20, 1883. Less than two weeks later, he moved to Medford from Jack sonville and built the first store here; later the first home, Howard became Medford's first mayor in 1886, During the first year of its Incorpor ation the town was watched over by a president also Howard who was elected by a board of trustees, which in turn, had been picked by the railroad. The town grew swiftly. By 1890 it had a population of uov; by 1800 the population had more than doubled to 1,781. , And, by 1910, an or- cnara speculation Inspired boom caused the city's popula tion to Jump to 8.840. (Med ford was chartered as city in iuuo.j Bottom Falls Out By 1920, however, the bot tom had fallen out of the boom, and the puplatlon drop- pea to 3,780. From then until today the city has experienced period of steady growth, some times rapid, some times slow, having a present popu lation or nearly za,oou. It wa the railroad that created Medford, and in large part, it ha been the railroad that sustained it. But. the iron rails are not the whole story, for It is the business and industry In a town, and the people who run them, that really spell- suc cess or failure. Medford met with success. Impressive List Noted From late In 1883, when Howard started the first store here, until 1894, the city had complied an Impressive list of businesses. These Included, in part, an Ice factory, a brewery, a flour mill, a sash and door factory, two hotels, two lumber yards, a furniture factory, two livery stables, a bank, an opera house, two hardware stores, two candy factories, two pork packing houses, two black smith shops, two photograph galleries, three fruit ware houses, and doiens more. Many of these first business, such as the George H. Hasklns drug store, the . I. A, Webb furniture company and the McMahon and Egan livery stable, art long since gone They are names of the past. But a hardy handful of these first businesses remain, Included among these are the Hubbard Brothers Hardware store, which was founded In 1883, and is now the 'oldest operating firm In Medford; the Robinson hotel, then known as the Nash hotel, which was founded also in 1883; the Jackson County Title company, which was founded in 1884: and the Con ger-Morris Funeral home, which was founded In 1887. History of Growth A brief history of additional businesses to locate In Med ford Is in reality a history of the city') growth and pros perity. In 1B8D, the first newspa per, the Medford Monitor, was established, A series of name changes and mergers, resulted In formation of the Medford Mall Tribune a name assum ed In 1908. Other early businesses and the years In which they start ed 'Include: the Commercial Printing company, 1889; Weeks and Orr Furniture, 1891; the Pacific Telephone company (then the Home Tele phone company), 1897; Brown's cafe, 1900; Snlder's Dairy, 1903; Eads Transfer and Storage, 1903; and the California Oregon Power com pany, 1905, The list continues down to the present day to the addi tion of such brand-new firms as the Thunderblrd market and Williams Appliance store. (A list of many of these bust nesses, old and new, can be found on pages 6 and 7B.) Appears Assured These businesses, In combi nation with the railroad, the lumber and fruit Industry, and more recently, the tourist trade, have made Medford the dominant city In the southern Oregon - northern California area. And, Its dominance ap pears assured for many years to come. (Incidentally, the county seat was moved from Jackson ville to Medford In 1928.) So when Friday comes, 75 years of colorful history and much prosperity will have passed for the city of Medford, but, barring unforeseen cir cumstances, the next 75 years should be equally colorful. and equally prosperous, Martin Completes Insurance School Harvey L. Martin, of the H. O.

Psychologically and Madrid where he spent his lifetime as court in terms of pure pattern it is equally extra painter. This work which still hangs in the ordinary. Prado, entitled "The Maids of Honor," sug- THE SHAPE OF THINGS Spanish Painter, Velasquez, Called Painters Painter By RICHARD HIRSCH Director Allentown Art Museum Three centuries ago Diego Rodriguez de Silva y Velas quez, favored painter of the Spanish king, died after a career of serene success. His serenity was of a very special sort. It was a painter's serenity, neither that of a mystic such as Fra Angelico or Giotto, nor that of a phil osopher such as Raphael. Ve lasquez never experienced the visionary ecstasies which en flamed El Greco who had also painted within the cross cur rents of Spanish mysticism and Spanish cruelty. He studied together with a youngster whom we know as the master painter Zurbaran, yet he never shared Zurbar an's view of the world as a vast cloister filled with monas tic images. Although court painter at the same court, Ve lasquez was never touched by either the icy courtliness which Francisco Goya exhibit ed in his formal work nor the demoniac frenzy which Goya expressed when work ing beyond the reach of court influence or court approval. A 'Painter's Painter' Velasquez is unique. He has been called, as if that were meaningful, a "painter's paint er." By this is implied that only a painter can fully grasp the extent of his accomplish ment or perceive the aims which he set himself. Such a definition is too narrow. It is true that many painters over these last three centuries, from Goya to the Impression ists, from Delacroix to Picasso, have gone back to Velasquez to learn, to borrow and to ac quire strength. Inimitably, however, Velasquez speaks clearly and eloquently to any spectator, spanning the cen turies with ease, with quiet power. Velasquez is not a vapid charmer. Living in the age of the Baroque, he never fell for its theatrics. It is as if he had never heard of Rubens al though they enjoyed each other's company in the palace in Madrid. Living while the France of Louis XIV is pro posing to all of Europe a rigid code of Classicism, it is as if Velasquez had never heard of Poussin. Sure of Himself Neither decorator, nor theorist, nor mystic, Velas quez, the court painter of a haughty and imperious court, stays a man of free indepen dence, sure of himself. Above all he was sure of his vision. At the age of 29 and then again at 49, he travels to Italy. A lesser talent could have been knocked off balance by all that he saw in Rome and Venice, Florence, Genoa and Naples, treasure houses of the Renaissance, battlegrounds of the art of the Counter Reformation which we call the Baroque. Not Velasquez, how ever. He returns to Spain, always positive that he must only paint what he sees and only as he sees it. This sounds very "modern." It almost sounds like a cliche. When Velasquez said it it was quietly revolu tionary. Not A Manifesto Characteristically, he d 1 d not propose that this should be a universal manifesto. He sought no disciples to spread the word. He merely stated a private conviction and went on painting, superbly. The great retrospective ex hibition currently displayed at the Prado palace in Madrid in honor of the third hundredth anniversary of his death in another regal palace in the same city, demonstrates just how superbly Velasquez did paint. The agelessness o fhis work is the first revelation. ' One may visit with Poussin and bring back from the ex perience many lessons for our time. But to do this one must look beyond the tenets of Poussin's world, his strict be lief in the need for a "noble" subject of mythology or his tory, the insistence that the painter's function Is to carry on the aesthetic of the Greek and Roman sculptors in a bal ance that is "classical." He Paints People One need search beneath no such trappings with Velas quez. He paints people, not statues. He places no cavort ing nudes ("Fame" or "Vic. tory" or "Peace") around his royal subjects. Further, he is no mere decorator of royal apartments, as a Boucher will be in the next century in France. Velasquez is a serious paint er. Mercifully he is not a pompous one. That also is one of his great gifts in a pompous century. Yet he will studiously attempt to be the perfect courtier. Remarkably enough, he drops the role as soon as he takes brush in hand. In itself this is no mean accomplishment o f personal and artistic integrity, for the court pressures were terrific. To imitate no one and to paint only what he saw and as he saw it can only be mean ingful if the artist has a re markable eye. This emphatic ally was Velasquez' greatest gift. Besides the eye he had the sure intelligence to guide this keenest perceptive facul ty. Portraits of Beggars Much of his best claims to fame are his portraits of Span ish beggars and common folk. Unforgettably he will title one of them "Aesop," in the knowledge that Aesop was a slave - a wise and a sly one. He will paint court jesters. sad as only clowns can be, and the dwarfs roaming through the royal household with the freedom of domestic pets. When Rubens talks to him of classical themes, Valesquez takes told of the notion of a composition concerning Bac chus, the pagan god of wine. What he paints is called "Los Borrachos," drinkers, common folk of Spain, seized by a penetrating vision in a fleeting moment of mindless jollity be ing crowned by a most un classical impersonator of the god. Obviously this is not what Rubens had in mind. The painting is ageless. It has a rugged life to it that some Dutch masters will strive for Velasquez, the gentle man painter living in the tower of the royal Alcazar of Madrid, attained this veracity with ease. He did more. He painted as no one ever had before him and as no one would again until the Impressionists push ed through their revolution in the last century. Velasquez, a short man, looked out from beneath his bushy eyebrows at the world and what he saw and faithfully set down were primarily sensitive arrange ments of values and colors. His superb draughtsmanship was hidden beneath his over- riding concern with what light does to things and forms. The outlines of many of his fig ures, painted before 1660, merge with the air and the background which surrounds the mas none will again until the last century. On his second trip to Rome he paints Pope Innocent X, and neglects to render, as would have any other painter of his time, the minute details of silk and lace. Rather, Ve lasquez paints with the gift of synthesis which we all possess and rarely analyze, the silk as shimmer, the lace as fused spots of reflected white light. As a result, the fact is unfor gettable, though the Pope was as ill pleased with this work as later generations were to be ecstatic. Velasquez paints a few in teriors using unobtrusively and memorably the results of his deep study of perspective. Once seen, even in reproduc tion, no one will forget "The Weavers" or "The M?.H; c9. Honor" of the young princess. In fact, one cannot forget any painting by Velasquez, ap pointed court painter at 24, whose ambitions as courtier never caused him to prettify the world as he saw it, a world of living people whom his brush saved from oblivion.
