Mail Tribune 100, Oct. 17, 1915 The following news items were drawn from the archives of the Mail Tribune 100 years ago. Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Oct. 17, 2015 at 12:01 AM Posted Oct. 17, 2015 at 12:01 AM » Social News Oct. 17, 1915 GRIZZLIES TO VISIT CURIOSITY SHOP The Grizzlies and their friends will take the 1:30 train Sunday afternoon for Jacksonville, to inspect the remarkable collection of E.H. Helms, which has been accumulated during the last fifty years. It consists principally of pioneer curiosities and mineral specimens. But other antique relics are also to be found in the museum. For example, there are coins from various foreign countries, Indian tools, worn-out wooden shoes from Hannover, a large variety of animal horns, Chinese scales, old revolvers, a fine sample of a mastodon tooth, ropes used in hanging horsethieves and photographs of the smiles of the first flirts during the mining period. The collection is undoubtedly of great human interest, because in the early pioneer days Helms' place was the social and political center of southern Oregon. Even from a religious standpoint, it played a conspicuous part, as it was a well-known fact that the saloon element was largely instrumental in building the Methodist church in Jacksonville. For nearly seventy years the same family ran the saloon, and it was only closed a couple of years ago by the present owner. By special arrangement Mr. Helms will entertain the visitors next Sunday and show them the collection in detail. The mayor of Jacksonville, Emil Britt, is expected to give them the freedom of the city for about one hour, and then escort the party out of the ancient burg toward the mountain. WHITE RIBBON SPECIAL DUE HERE MONDAY The white ribbon special, with 300 W.C.T.U. women on their way to San Francisco from the national convention at Seattle, will arrive in Ashland at 9:30 a.m. Monday, October 18, and will stop till 10 o'clcok. Arrangements have been made by the Ashland union for speaking and singing during the stop. All Medford people who wish to go must take the gray car at 8 o'clock. This is a treat that all temperance workers should take in. All the latest temperance news will be given in the M. E. church, Ashland, in the afternoon by one of the delegates who stops over.
