Southern Oregon
Strong For Normal

The abstract Of votes cast at the
last general election has been COM
piled by the Secretary Of State and
a little review OF II with special ref
erence TO the Normal School meas
ure is of interest. Out Of the 26
counties in Oregon the measure car
ried in eleven of them; in most of
the other counties the majority
against the measure was very light,
in several cases less than 100. The
total majority against 1t was 1915
and in this election the black bell"
was located the same as II has al
ways been-in lower Willamette Val
ley. Marion county was running
true TO form with 4G10 to the bad,
Linn 320S, with Clackamas, Polk,
Yamhill, Washington and Benton
counties apparently scared stiff for
fear the Normal schools might carry
in the state. Among the coun-
ties that favored the adoption of the
measure were the following: Baker,
Clatsop, Deschutes, Harney. Jack
son, Josephine, klamath, Malheur,
Umatilla, Union and Wasco.
Southern Oregon as usual did IT,
self proud Jackson county hit the
line at six to one gait and klamath
came thru with three to one, while
Josephine county gave II good
round majority. The favorable ma
jority in Clatsop county is worthy of
note. In Multnomah county We prac-
tically split even on total of over
$4,000 votes which were cast for and
against the measure.
The influenza undoubtedly made
a very much lighter vote in some sec
tions OF the state and shut off all
public meetings at a time when the
local committees were planning to
do their most intensive work; these
conditions on top of the war clouds
made an unfavorable atmosphere for
the Normal school measure that was
too much for an Oregon electorate.

Aged Resident Met Death
By Clothing Catching Fire

Oregon and In safeguarding the later
settlers who braved the dangers from
hostile Indians and attendant priva-
tions in pioneering this section. Lind
say Applegate in the early sixties be-
came the first government agent for
the klamath Indians and his sons as
sisted him in establishing and main
tanning friendly relations between the
redskins and the white settlers who
were gradually encompassing their
homes and their hunting grounds.
Ivan Applegate, schooled and train
ed In the ways and character of the
aborigine and an adept in their ian
guage, became one of the noted In
dian scouts OF the region, and ii Is
SAID that few II any white men eve:
gained and maintained their conf
dence as he. He represented them in
their conferences with the settlers,
and was trusted to represent them In
their dealings with the government
He rendered important service to the
government and people in the Modoc
Indian war and II has often been
said that II his counsel had been fol-
lowed many of the horrors of that
war would never have occurred.
With the opening up and develop
ment of the great klamath basin,
Capt. Applegate engaged in the stock
business there and operated upon
quite an extensive scale, experienced
the ups and downs of that business In
the earlier days. Energetic and ac-
tive always, 1t is told of him that nc
recouped a modest fortune in the
sheep growing business in the lava
bed region near the state line after
he had passed the age of seventy
years.
Sturdy and honest OF character,
keen of mind, typical of Oregon pio-
neers, he was also broad and tcler-
ant, loved the freedom OF his country
and its institutions. He was proud
OF the state which he had seen grow
and develop from infancy and loyal
to his own home and community.
a year or more ago Capt. Apple
gate sold out his stock interests in
theSklamath country and removed to
Ashland, the home of his youth,
where he built an attractive home
and sought to spend his remaining
days with his devoted wife in peace
and quietude.
He is survived by his wife who be-
fore their marriage was Miss MaSgle
Hutchinson, daughter of one OF the
pioneer settlers of the Klamath re-
gion, and herself one of the first
school teachers in Ashland, ana by
two daughters. Alice, wife OF h. Pell
of this city. and Lena, wife of w o.

planter in Mexico Three brothers.

gent, U. S. a. retired OF Jacksonville,
and Mrs. Rachel Afford, wife of II. l..

he discovered IL. His cries brought
Mrs. Applegate to his aid, All she
made a valiant effort to extlasuish

At the head of this great immi-

families have made a strong impress
upon the history of Oregon. Ivan

CITY SCHOOLS RESUME
AFTER LONG VACATION

The city schools opened Monday
after the enforced vacation of nearly
three weeks due to the influenza
epidemic which had cut down the at

was deemed advisable to close until
conditions improved. This is thought
to be so much better that another eff
fort will be made TO continue the
term. Plans are being made to eX-
tend the first semester into Febru-
airy in order to complete the term 8
work, and time will be made up in
the manner decided most advisable
by the faculty to complete the years
work.
