Mail Tribune 100, June 25, 1915 The following news items were drawn from the archives of the Mail Tribune 100 years ago. Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Jun. 25, 2015 at 12:01 AM Posted Jun. 25, 2015 at 12:01 AM » Social News June 25, 1915 BARNUM ROAD SOLD TO BULLIS PRICE $60,000 Deeds calling for the Rogue River Valley railroad (Barnum line) to the Southern Oregon Traction company (Bullis line) were drawn Thursday and the actual transfer of the property will take place between now and July 1. The deal, which has been hanging fire for the last six weeks, is practically closed, awaiting only the final signatures. The purchase price, as named in the deed, is $60,000. The sale means the electrification of the Barnum line its entire length, eight miles, which includes one mile in Medford, five miles between this city and Jacksonville, and the two miles to the brickyard, and the extension on West Main Street of the present streetcar line. It also means the probable extension of the line into the Applegate and on to the Blue Ledge later. PATHOLOGIST QUITS COUNTY TO ACCEPT UNIVERSITY POSITION County Pathologist Dr. M.P. Henderson has accepted a position as professor of plant pathology in the Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. Professor Henderson has been thinking seriously of accepting the position for the past fortnight, but it was not until this morning that he fully made up his mind to do so. The new position comes as an advancement and is a larger field than could be offered Mr. Henderson in this county, with higher salary and better opportunity. He is not to leave until the latter part of the summer. "I shall gladly stay and help my successor familiarize himself with the lines of the work," said Mr. Henderson this morning. Professor Henderson has been pathologist for Jackson County for the past year. During this time he has been very active, and orchardists speak highly of his work. Dr. Henderson came here from the University of Wisconsin upon the joint recommendation of the Fruitgrowers' league and the Oregon Agricultural College. His salary and office expenses are jointly paid by the county and college under the agricultural extension law.
