Local Author Has Article Published In Western Mag A Roseburg woman, Orpha Col lins, is the author of an article, titled "Ambush on the Coquille." which appears in the July-August issue of True West magazine. The magazine is published by Western Publications, Inc., Austin, Tex., and uses authenticated true west ern stories. Mrs. Collins is one of the best informed persons in this area on the history of Douglas County and southern Oregon. She has been do ing research for the past 30 years or longer. She operates a research bureau from her home at 968 SE Pine St. Her article tells the story of L. L. Williams and Cyrus Hodden, who played an important part in the early history of Douglas Coun ty. The story deals with their ex periences and their party of ex plorers, who originally set out from Port Orford on the coast in an effort to find a feasible route to the gold mining communities around Jacksonville. The party never reached the lat- SHIP AND TRAVEL... automated railway UNIOM PACIFIC Tor information, caN; Dl 1-8461 lug.n. ter city. It split up, 13 men re tracing their steps, and the other ten beading northward in an ef fort to find settlements in the Ump qua valleys. They came out onto the Coquille River, weary and starved, but engaged some Indians to take them down the Coquille, the story relates. At a point about two miles from the river's mouth they went ashore at the bidding of Indians, who then cast aside a pretense of friendship and began a massacre of the party. Hedden and Williams, though wounded, escaped and finally made their way to the Umpqua near what is now Reedsport. The article deals with the ordeals of the two men. Hedden became prominent in Scottsburg, and Williams became treasurer of Umpqua County and later clerk of Douglas County.

GO NAVY SEE THE WORLD (at 30 m.p.h.) appears to be the motto of Chief Triska, officer in charge of the Roseburg U.S. Navy recruiting office, as he heads on a recruiting tour in his 1915 Ford Model T Torpedo coupe. The Navy launched this torpedo at Sutherlin, Oakland, Yoncalla and Drain Thursday. Chief Triska said he figures all this zoom-zoom thermo-nuclear business of the jet and space age makes things move too fast, so he's slowing down the pace to make sure he doesn't miss any good applicants. The automatic starter on the front of the vehicle (which doubles as recruiter Chief Chuck Dornsife) is engaged by on order from chief recruiter, Triska, who is shown here sitting out the crank detail.
