On the morning of the big smudge, things looked
rather gloomy In this neck of the woods. The sky was
black, the lawns and shrubbery white with frost and the
temperature at a winter time low. We were beginning to
feel a little pity for those who might have neglected
keeping their heating materials intact, thinking maybe
spring was here.
At this point our better halt remarked that the fur
nace wasn't burning as it should, and then a cold breeze
began coming up through the floor register. We went out
and tapped on the fuel tank and found we were the ones
who needed pity. The tank was empty. Our oil man had
failed to deliver, which is unusual for him as he gen
erally Is "Johnny on the spot" and flits ill the containers
he can find that have an opening large enough to get the
hose into. As we had plenty of wood and a fireplace, we
didn't suffer too much, however.
Last Monday, we visited the historic town of Jackson
ville as we knew it. It is now a city. Many of the build
ings and the people we knew and remember so well
are missing. Many of their names are on tombstones In
the beautiful cemetery on the hill. We did meet one old
timer, Ryan, and had a most interesting time talking
over old times with. htm. He told us that Chris Kinney,
whom we would have liked to have met, Is not very
well, and is staying with his sister in Medford.
Jacksonville Museum Revisited
A visit to the museum revealed many new exhibits
and pictures that had been installed since we were there
last. There la so much to see there, much of it taking one
back to the mining days of '49. The only fault we can
find is that when you start looking, there seems to be no
place to quit, and we stay too long and then don't see
half we would like.
Since we are writing about Jacksonville, this clipping
taken from the Southern Oregon Mall of June 20, 1892,
and datelined, Sams Valley, Ore., might be interesting
to old timers. As the -communication Is a full column
length we can only give excerpts taken from it.
"Editor Southern Oregon Mail: An examination of the
returns of the late election as given In your last issue is
interesting and instructive. It clearly proves certain mat
ters that were charged against the old parties during the
canvass. There if evidence to prove what the Peoples
party assert that there is a Demo-Republican ring in
Jacksonville, who select the men on both tickets who
are to be elected or defeated, and whose sole object is
to secure men who will help keep alive Jacksonville ana
pay tribute to the ring. This thing will go on until the
other towns In the county unite with the old hayseeds
and smash the ring that fattens at our expense, and
atttempts by crying stop thief to direct attention from
those in possession of the plunder."
Recollections of the "Ring"
We remember well of the so-called Jacksonville
ring. Charles Nickell was reported to be one of the lead
ers. He published the Jacksonville Times, a weekly news
paper. He later got Into trouble with Uncle Sam who
claimed he was implicated in some land fraud scheme
where out of the state crooks paid the cost of filing
claims In the Elk Creek area to persons who, after prov
ing up, were to sell the land to them for a very nominal
price. Nickell published the notices of proof for them,
but claimed he was Innocent of any intentional wrong
doing.
The usual Easter Sunday increase in attendance was
noted at the local Sunday School, with white shirts and
stiff collars adorning the men and boys, with bright new
gowns and flowery headgear worn by the ladies and
young girls. An appropriate program tor the occasion
was given and the customary Easter hunt tor the young
sters was held, with eggs from the Guy Nelson farm.
Thought for the day "There is no limit to the
amount of good a person can do if he doesn't care who
gets the credit."
