Jacksonville

across the state.

So it's not just concentrated in John Day and Portland and Jacksonville.

It's everywhere.

Dr. Jennifer Feng is an independent historian and the director of exhibitions at the Wing Luke Museum in Seattle.

Like where I grew up in Oregon is an old mining town, actually.

Jacksonville, Oregon, big mining town.

They originally were going to have it be the capital of Oregon, but then the railroad passed by it.

So it missed its opportunity.

I went to Ashland where I got to discover life all over again.

And I got to see what I liked, what felt good to me, which drug me to Jacksonville.

Ashland is too shady.

It's too much sunset in the afternoon.

And so Jacksonville, the small town with music, too small, but the experiences I had in Jacksonville where I rented for six months, they were critical to finish the book that I've been doing since I was in Mount Shasta.

So then I buy a house in Jacksonville and it falls through for so many beautiful reasons.

And so my agent saw what I liked.

So he found the place in Medford and that's where we're broadcasting from now.

And, you know, serving Jackson County has been a long time effort on especially my family side.

My great grandfather was August Singler and he was actually first constable in 1908 and then elected county sheriff in 1912 and was unfortunately shot and killed in the line of duty right outside Jacksonville in 1913.

So Serving the resident citizens of Jackson County has been a long-time process for my family and one that I'm very proud of.

Well, Singler is a big name here in Jackson County.

That's, again, that's on November first.

The meeting begins at nine AM at Old City Hall, which is in Jacksonville.

And for more information, you can call Karen Frost at the BTA, two two six zero six seven six, or email her at karen@bta, number four, bikes.org.

The BTA is also soliciting nominations for the Alice B. Toklits Award.

Yeah.

And she said, that's one of our project safe projects.

And so I got to go with her to be there as a JCF representative because they helped, they helped write grants to get the money to help these fire stations get the things that are needed.

Meanwhile, Logan proposes to Caroline Marsh, played by Patricia Roc, an English orphan living with the Dance family, played by Andy Devine and Dorothy Peterson, adding another layer to the romantic entanglements.

The film's strength lies in its portrayal of community life in Jacksonville, Oregon.

The ensemble cast, including Ward Bond as the menacing Honey Bragg and Hoagy Carmichael as the musical Hi Linnet, brings depth to the narrative.

The characters navigate personal conflicts and societal challenges, such as a cabin-raising event that turns into a community celebration, only to be marred by violence and an Indian uprising.

Are you a native Eugenian or did you move here?

Yeah, I actually mostly grew up in Jacksonville, Oregon, a

small town in southern Oregon.

But I've lived a few other places as well.

The man also spoke about setting him up having gone missing under strange circumstances.

He was headed off into the woods with a couple of shady characters from Jacksonville that were known thieves.

Sitting not too far from the California men, a local prospecting group overheard the man's tale and took notice.

Glancing at each other from around the table as they tossed back a strong shot of whiskey, the men leaned into each other and quietly started to devise their plan.

They would look for the missing prospector and his rumored loot, but little did they know, the journey they were about to embark upon would almost cause them to become missing as well.

Now, the lost cabin mine wasn't exactly said to be specifically in the Crater Lake area.

Other sources said it was actually in California, and the missing miner would return home to Jacksonville with his gold to throw off any would-be thieves or snoopy men looking to find his secret mine.

But being as the California group had prospected all over that state and found nothing that resembled the landscape said to inhabit the lost cabin nor mine, they were convinced it was in Oregon, and specifically just a few miles from where they sat.
