Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1918-02-07
BY C. B. Watson

In 1871 Jackson county embraced
what is now Jackson, klamath and
Lake counties; and, at that time,
that whole area contained less than
one-half as many people as now live
in the city of Medford. That was
forty-seven years ago, the date of my
arrival at Ashland from California.
We had two stages a day-one
south and one north; and the arrival
each day received more attention
than do the railroad trains that go
and come so frequently nowadays.
The people appeared happy, con-
tented and prosperous, Merchants
freight was hauled by wagon from
Tchama on the Sacramento river,
from Cottage Grove, in the William
cite valley, which was then the near
est railroad point, or from Crescent
City, where ocean freights were
landed. Teamsters going for freight
generally hauled loads of flour, bacon
or wool out and returned freighted
TO the guards with merchandise for
the stores.
Stockraising and mining constitut-
ed the chief occupation, and the
miners of southern Oregon and north
ern California, few stockmen east
of the mountains and the garrison at
Fort klamath furnished the only
market for diversified products of
Rogue river valley.
Livestock Most Profitable
Sheep, cattle and horses were most
profitable. Winter feeding was not
often necessary-and Uncle Sam
furnished the range. Horses and
cattle were driven to market and the
range furnished the feed on the way.
1t was an easy life; rounding up and
branding the STOCK once q year ana
riding over the hills occasionally to
keep track of the herds.
There was no need of extensive
farming, for there was no market
for the products in great quantity.
Some families had been in the val
ley twenty years before l came. The
first settlers were attracted by the
mines, but it was not long before the
climate, soil and scenic beauty of the
valley and environments were adver-
tised by departing miners, that home
seekers flocked in.
Something to stimulate competi-
tion is necessary for the full develop
ment of any country and there must
he something to compete for.
The people waxed fat and lazy and
their stock in the mountains made
them prosperous. Habits are easily
formed; certainly, they are not easily
avoided

The defendant in common with

pose, to question the validity or con-
stitutionality of a law affecting his
property or his life, liberty or hap

The offense of which Ramp was
convicted was committed in Rose
burg on two occasions, September 23
and 25, last. 1t consisted of vari-
GUS seditionary remarks addressed to
soldiers selected under the draft and
included disloyal references to the
president of the United States, the
armed forces of the country, the Sc
lective draft and the espionage act.
It was contended by the government
in prosecuting the charge that these
remarks were willfully and deliber-
ately made by Ramp for the purpose
of discouraging the further enlist
nent of men in the army as we'll as
to incite insubordination among those
already in the service of their coun-
try.

Harry Greb Becomes Middleweight
Champion by outpointing
Eddie McGoorty.

CHICAGO. July 27.-Harry Greb of
the Navy was awarded a decision on
points over Eddie McGoorty of the
National Army at the end Of their
ten-round boxing bout at Fort Sheri-
dan late this afternoon.
BY virtue of the victory Greb be-
comes middleweight champion Of the
Army and Navy.
Greb carried the battle to McGoorty
all the way. He got away to a slow
start and took several solid punches
from his more experienced opponent
before he hit his stride. In the third
round. however. one Of Greb's right
hand swings closed McGoorty's left
eye. and from that time the outcome
was never in doubt.
At the final bell Greb was apparent
ly as fresh as when he started, but
McGoorty was plainly exhausted by
his efforts in avoiding the Navy nght-
er's swings.
Thirty-five hundred people. the ma
tority officers and enlisted men from
the Army and Navy, witnessed the
bout.

Tom Crooks. manager Of the c1of-
feps, in the Navy Yard League, thinks
that one big amateur league would
prove very popular in Washington.
1t is Toms opinion that about SIX Of
the big government departments
ought to get together and form an
organization similar to the old De-
| partmental League. Here's the idea:
"I think 1t would be the best thing
possible for amateur base ball II the
big government departments would
unite and form a strong amateur or
ganization. Most of the government
Organisations could pick a mighty
strong team to represent them, and
you can bet that circuit composed
of such mines would not fail to have
backing. incidentally. feel sure it
would be financial success. Such q
league would not interfere much with
the smaller circuits that might be or
ganized.
"Any doubt as to whether or not q
lot Of strong teams could be got to-
