JOHN DICKERS0N
IS STILL A WINNER

Chief of Police O'NeiI is in receipt
of letter from John C. Dickerson, for
many years n resident of Grand June
tion and well known to the old-timers
of this city. Mr.. Dickerson is now
residing at Sunnyvale California. and
is chief of the Sunnyvale fire depart
ment In his letter to Chief O'Neil
Mr.. Dickerson refers to fire depart
ment tournament he and his company
took part in and Dickerson's old
friends will remember that in the early
days John C. Dickerson was at the
head of the local fire department and
made fine record whenever there was
any real fire fighting or tournaments.
Mr.. Dickerson aska about his old
time friends and states that he and
his family are pleasantly located and
are enjoying prosperity.
At the end of the tournament refer
red to by Mr. Dickerson and which
took place on July 4th, the fire com
pany presented Mr.. Dickerson with a
beautiful gold ring.
From IA Sunnyvale paper we repro
duce a portion of the account of the
firemen's tournament:
The firemen's tournament was the
exciting event of the day. Four teams
took part-Hollister. Palo Alto. Santa
Clara and Sunnyvale. The Hollister
team made the first run in 81 As sec
onds. But Palo Alto and Santa Clara
failed in coupling work and We're dis
qualified. Sunnyvale came last and
scored in ~ seconds, and was awarded
the second prize Of $4,000.
There was some hasty criticism of
Chief Dickerson for not giving the
water quicker at the hydrant. which
would have saved a few seconds; but
of ffat- lat, =
all admitted that he did the wisest
thing. The two previous teams had
suffered disqualification because of
their haste in trying to beat the Holli-
ster teams record. and Mr.. Dickerson
preferred losing little possible glory
to risl<ing the fate of his predecessors
He took the safe and sure course and
gained a prize for his company. 1t was
practically impossible for our boys to
have beaten the Hollister team which
is generally recognized as the best in
this section. They are well matched
have had much good training and ex-
perience in former contests. and have
won prizes before. Our boys were SC
well matched. two or three of them
being very young. and none of them
has had experience in other contests
However. they have the mettle fol
gained in this contest will be able tc
give good account of themselves Al
some future time. They made a goot
showing in the run and received many
| compliments from onlookers on theil
general appearance.
Great credit is due Fire Chief. Mr.
]. C. Dickerson. for the interest takei
and efforts put forth. both in prepar
| ing the team for the contest, and ii
getting up the float. The successe
| achieved in the parade and in TIL
| tournament are largely due to his en-
couragement and labor. The work o
Mr.. w. a. Crossman in training TIL
| boys for the run is also worthy o
notice. Mr.. Crossman has devoted al
most every evening during the pas
two weeks to instructing them in tn
athletic arts, and we dare say som
of them know more about the value o

SENATOR PLATT Is 10.

New York. July 15.-Thomas Collier
Platt. United States senator from New

attention was paid to the aged solon
by the present-day leaders of the party
of which Platt was once one of the
national leaders. Although stripped of
much of his political power and har-
assed by domestic entanglements. the
senator is far from being the broken
old man that he is sometimes describ
ed to be. While the weight of years
rests somewhat heavily on his physical
frame, his mind is still clear and ac-

We had thought Admiral Evans a man of sound sense and judgment, but we take it all back and beg to apolo- gize. His contention that the United States ought to have two dozen bat tie ships on the Atlantic coast all the time and as many others on the Pacife coast places him in the jingo list good and plenty. We suppose he will also contend that we should keep at least four dozen other big ships skidooing over the two oceans to intercept any warlike Japanese fishing smack that may be poking its nose in this direc- tion. Plainly it was high time for Bob to take rest.

balloon might take him out. And he may expect to use the kite to show which way the wind blows, if they have wind down there. We can't tell what is working in that brain of his. or that he knows what he will need or thinks he knows. which suits him just as well.
 But Reid Is not lonesome in his be- liefs. It will be remembered that some weeks ago we referred to Mr. orville Livingston Leach, of Rhode Island, who is something of a hollow earth faddist himself. In fact. he claims to be the one who originated the idea, and afirms that he has known of that central hole for years. He declares that it contains a city of gold, beauti- fully lighted by radio activity, what ever that may be. Everybody there is healthy and happy. and nowhere can there be found such birds and flowers as exists in the earth's innermost in- wards. What is more to the point. he says that all the lost polar explorers who have not yet been located will be found having a good time in the in- terior world. There's nothing small about Leach when 1t comes to telling things.
 Reading these things will recall to A T-A Symmes fad of almost century ago He had been--or rather was at the time--a retired army officer, who may or may not have been little off in his upper story. but at least he was in earnest. He was willing to back his faith by leading an expedition to find the hole. He wanted to get q band of 100 men, with sleds and reindeer. and fully pro~ vided for long search. He proposed to start from a point in Siberia and so skimming over the ice till they landed in the hole. or on it's brink. He made a number of converts to his the- ory and would probably have received enough aid to start him on his foolish exprdition but his death put an end to the scheme and "symmes Hole" has been a by-word ever since.
 Tt is rash comments The Chicago Tribune, 'to affirm anything positively in these days. but it Is more likely that Reeds Hollow, like synlmes' Hole, or "symmzonia." as his son afterwards called 1t, will be relegated to that curious but fascinating collection of the worlds odds and ends wherein are to be found the Moon Hoax, the Sea Serpent. Captain Kidd's treasure. the Fountain of Perpetual Youth. the dis coveries of perpetual motion, etc. And yet why should one Jeer at Reed? Is not his theory quite as reasonable and dignihed as many other will O the wisps which apparently sane people are chasing nowadaysf'
 Yes. it is rash and unsafe to roundly dispute any claim that Is made in these days. The world jeers at any man who claims the North Pole will ever be reached, but the world may sometime be forced to admit that 1t was mis- taken about other things they declared impossible. but which were after wards demonstratsd, so vpsafniy that people wonder why they over -doubted.

GoING ArrER THAT HOLLOW.

It begins to look somewhat as If that hole-through-t -the-earth business may have something in it. after all. It may be a hole or 1t may be only a pipe dream, but William Reid. of New York, Is trying to form a Hollow Earth Ex- ploring Expedition to go after that hole, and possibly go through 1t. just as Peary wants to go after the North Pole. We judge that neither of them expects to bring the object back with him, but they want to prove that both exist. It is plain that Reid is in earnest, and wants to go for 1t. To quote from The Chicago Tribune:
 To this end he wants three vessels a flagship and two auxilaries--the flag ship to have "a special telescoping mast of great height" from which 1t
 Is to be Inferred Reed proposes to do
 some wireless telegraphing. He also
 wants a balloon airship, a submarine boat a large kite, high power search light. a big telescope a gyroscope, wireless fiXings, scientific instruments. and explosives. It Is impossible to in fer the use of these utensils unless it | be that he purposes to be in readiness for any emergency. In case he gets this outfit he will set sail for the Hol- low from Point Barrow, though 1t is greatly to be feared he will never see flair Carcasonne." Reed. however has abiding faith In the Hollow. He says ! in the bulletin to those who have giv- en him encouragement: "I entreat you. | above all things. not to diminish or slacken your efforts, or lower your spirits. or allow yourselves to be over wh elmed by the magnitude of the affair or by wave of the sea, but bear your selves erect to resist jeers and rtdicule, which are sure to come from ignor- ance. oftentimes mistaken for learn ing.
 Thus 1t will be understood that Mir. Reid believes in himself and is stren- uously trying to get others to have
 faith in him. As The Tribune says,
 we can't exactly understand what he
 wants with some of the things he calls for-the kite and balloon, for example
 It may be that he fears that when he 1 gets to the centre of the earth the at-

Jackson South A1abamian.
 Some of our citizens are perhaps not aware that Jackson was founded De- fore the State of Alabama was admit ted into the Union. Jackson was laid of into lots, streets and avenues in 1915. It was first called Pine Level. It's name was changed to Jackson in 1s1e Alabama was admitted into the Union in 1919. Alabama was first set tied by Bienville in 1702. The region north of thirty -one degrees, which be- Ionged to France, was ceded to Great Britain in 1763 transferred to the United States in 17s3, and attached to South Carolina and Georgia till 1902. when it was organized as the Missis- sippi Territory. The region south of thirty-one degrees, which belonged to Spain, was seized and joined to Missis- sippi Territory in 1872, and with Flor ida was purchased from Spain in 1Sl9. There are but few men living in Ala bama today who lived when Jackson was first established, ninety-three years ago. In it's early days Jackson was quite a little city. If our memory serves us right, Balls history put the number of inhabitants of the town at 1900 or more, and described the place as being quite a manufacturing town. But its race was soon run. Like the grass, 1t sprang up In the morning and was cut down in the evening. Its in- habitants in a fewyears sought green CT fields" some even tearing down their houses and moving them else where But we will have you know that Jackson is now here to stay until Gabriel blows his horn.
