DIXIE RANCH ITEMS

Miss Elsie Sundall, who was oper-
ated on for appendicitis at the South
Pacific hospital in Grants Pass some
time ago, was allowed to return to
her home near Dixie last Saturday,
she having been pronounced on the
road to rapid recovery.
Rev. and Mrs. Douglas and Mr..
and Mrs. Arthur Conklin of Grants
Pass were visitors at Dixie for short
time one day last week.
Miss Anna May Thomas, teacher
of Dixie school, received a shipment
Of 20 volumes last week for the use
OF the students. The lot consists of

CHOCOLATE SOLDIER"
Is PLEASING TO MANY

A full balcony and half-full lower
floor vented their approval of the
Whitney production of THE Choco-
late Soldier" at the Grants Pass
opera house last night.
The story of the famous comic
opera, musically set from Bernard
Shaw's Arms and the Man" by Oscar
Straus, grandson of Richard Straus
of Blue Danube Waltz" fame, is
known to the majority Of theater-
goers, and the performance last
night, in the essential points at least,
was equal to the standards of pre-
vious years.
Indeed with the exception of
Frank J. Boyle as "Massakroff" and
Lottie Collins. daughter of the fam
Gus dancer of years ago, as Mas
cha," practically the cast is the same
as the company that first came to the
Pacific coast three years ago.
Boyle, with immense eyes, emo
tional eyebrows, glaring teeth and
ferocious mustache, was feature in
leading his fire-eating Bulgarians in
the catchy marches.
Antoinette Kopetsky, sweet-voiced
and sweet-faced, filled every require
ment, almost overcoming what seem
ed the over-orchestration OF Mr..
Whitney's eight musicians.
Lottie Collins, with an arch smile,
agreeable voice and nimble feet, was
captivating; and Charles Purcell.
Sylvan Langlois, George Tallman
and Lucille Saunders completed
cast OF real quality.

HOW JOSEPHINE
COUNTY GOT NAM T

Geo. II. Parker of this city has
added an interesting chapter ON Jose
phine county history in the following
article bearing upon the naming of
the county, the article having been
published in recent issue of the
Portland Oregonian:
For the sake of historical accur-
acy, please allow me to correct one
statement in the article on Grants
Pass by Mr.. Addison Bennett, pub
lished in The oregonian few days
ago, He said that he was told that
Josephine county was named for Jo-
sephine Leland, the first white girl
born in the county. The facts be-
lieve to be as follows:
In lS46 party of immigrants
passed through here going north. In
the party was man by the name of
Leland Crowley, and his family.
When they reached a large creek in
the northern part OF this county, now
called Grave creek, his daughter,
Josephine, died, and was buried un-
der a large oak tree which is still
standing in the middle of the road a
few rods from the northern end of
the Grave creek bridge.
The Indians dug up her body and
hung it on limb OF the tree, where
it was found by party of white men
and reinterred, all signs of the grave
being obliterated by driving cattle
over It.
THE father of Charles Sexton, who
is sull living at Hugo on the ranch
on which he was born nearly 60 years
ago, was one of the party.
During the Indian war of SO a
fort was established near the banks
of the creek and named Fort Leland
after Leland Crowley. At one time
during that trouble the grave under
the tree where the girl was first
buried was enlarged and the bodies
of six Indians, who had been hung
on the tree, were buried in it. The
creek had already taken its name
from ths grave.
However, Josephine County was
not named for Josephine Crowley
but for Virginia Josephine Rollins
who went with her father to the
mines near Waldo in the spring OF
1851 She was about 16 years old
at that time and was the first white
woman to come into this part of the
country to stay any length Of time.
Her father called her Josephine and
Rogue River courier. (Grants Pass, Or.) 1886-1927, 1913-11-07

Josephine creek was named after her
and afterward the county.

origin Uf he name and about three
,eers ago ! thought | would see II
could find out which was correct. l
wrote to all the old pioneers who
would be likely to know anything Of
the matter and received two letters
from James Twogood, then OF Boise.
Idaho, who located the Grave Creek
ranch in 1851 and who also mined
on Josephine creek in the spring Of
81, and knew Josephine Rollins; two
letters from DR.. Holton, who was
sheriff at the time Judge M. p. Deady
held the first court In Josephine
county and who was also a member
of the legislature both before and
after Oregon was admitted as a state;
one from Judge Jacobs OF Seattle.
formerly pioneer OF Jacksonville;
Judge Day and G. c, Beekman, also
OF Jacksonville; and Homer Hark-
nSsc, who lived on the Grave Creek
ranch a number of years in pioneer
6cys.
Finally J heard through William
Colvig of Medford that man by the
name of Jacob Thompson, OF Ash
land, had a photo OF the woman for
whom Josephine county was named
hanging In his parlor.
IL wrote him and he replied that
Josephine Rollins. for whom the
county was named, was a sister of
his wife, and was still living in Som
oma county, California. | wrote her
and received long letter from her
and photograph OF her taken when
she was 40 years old.
About two years ago saw
George II. Hines in Portland and
told him the foregoing. He said IL
| would send him the photograph, he
would have two enlarged copies
made Of It. one for the Historical
Society and one for our court house.
! sent him the photograph but have
never heard anything from him, al
though ! have written him several
times.
After had done all this saw a
copy Of history Of Oregon publish
ed in the early eighties which gave
the same account OF the naming of
our county.
"The letters received from the
old pioneers contained other items OF
Messrs. Jacobs, Day, Holton and
Twogood, think, are dead now.
Martin Angel Of this place, who was
born in Jacksonville In 80, and
whose father was killed by Indians
In '55, assisted me by giving me
names of parties TO whom to write"
