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-

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

Chevy II Wagons The heft of a
niitra.se. The rustle of a road map.
There'll itomethini; about one of theM
spruce, aurprisingly npacioua wagons
that can turn even the routine prepara
tions into a happy part of your trip.
Take that old bugaboo of packing,
for instance. No bother. With the Vind
of room you get in that eaxy-loading
rargo compartment, you can just about
toss things in any old whicliway and
come out with upace to spare. The load
won't dampen the spirits of the spunky
6-eylinder engine either. It just hums
along passing up gas pumps (there's also
a choice of an even thriftier 4 in mot
AT YOUR CHEVROLET DEALER'S
models) like it didn't have a care In the
world. Fact, is, it has far fewer cares
than most engines being built with
the special knack Chevrolet engineers
have for dependability and case of
maintenance.
Like a car with ginger without a lot
of needless gingerbread? Your dealer's
got a full line of Chevy II's to pick from.
Why not drop down and check now
while both the trading and the traveling
are especially good? And maybe it'd be
a good idea to leave a note for the
milkman on the way out, just in case
you happen to get lost some place
before you get back.
