Medford Mail Tribune: An auto ex­
cursion to the lava beds near Klamath
Falls, where the Indians made their
last stand in the Modoc war, 51 years
ago, will be made Thursday by a party
of prominent men interested in Oregon
history. The party will include Cap­
tain O. C. Applegate, a Modoc war
veteran; Jeff C. Riddle, author of a

Two cases involving the right of
states to require children between the

gon and District Attorney Myers of

Rogue River Courier (Grants Pass):
The picking of hops on the Ed EBtes
place will start on August 28, said Mr.
Estes who was in the city today with
Mrs. Estes. He has 25 acres of hops
this season and looks for a good yield.
He was bothered to some extent by
the red spider but the pest was con- I
trolled before it did much damage. He
looks for little difficulty in getting |
plenty of pickers. This season he had |
85 acres of barley, which harvested 40
bushels to the acre.
Ashland Tidings: Two freak eggs,
laid by two different hens, are reported
from the Carey farm near Medford.
One is a medium-sized egg, perfectly
formed, and wrapped as if for ship­
ment, in a paper-like substance. The
other egg has three perfect yolks. The
hens that laid the eggs are from the
Smith strain, from the Smith poultry
farm at Ashland.
The Friend of Man
By Tessa Webb
The poet will sing of the house by the road,
Where the friend of mankind abides;
Another will sing of lifting their load,
While walking along by their sides.
Each poet, no doubt, sees a service complete
In his own chosen angle or way;
But the Master to mankind would humbly
entreat
For the service of both, I dare say.
“ ‘Today the first newspaper ev
published in California made its a
pearance. The honor, if such there h
of writing its prospectus falls to m
1. . . My partner is an emigrant fro
Kentucky who stands six feet eight
his stockings. He is in buckskin dre
and coonskin cap, is true with his rifl
ready with his pen, and quick at tl
type case.’ ”
Yes, our Master knows both the road and the
home,
For the weary who plead for rest;
And those who are out on life’s highway to
roam,
He’ll take as His humble guest.
So someone must render an aid to these men,
Through the day as they carry their load,
And give them them their shelter when long
nights begin,
In this home by the side of the road.
The paper was first printed in Moi
terey and the first issue was print«
on wrapping paper used to envelop tl
tobacco that was shipped in to tha m
tives. Some of the difficulties exper
enced may be imagined from the fo
lowing paragraph taken from an earl
number: “Our type is a Spanish font
| picked up here in a cloister, and has n
vv’s in it, as there is none in the Spar
ish alphabet. I have sent to the Sand
vvich Islands for this letter. In th
meantime vve must use two v’s. Ou
I paper at present is that used fo
wrapping cigars. In due time vv
will have something better.”
i
There are men who need just a word of good
cheer,
And others with wounds to be healed;
There are some who have souls that are bur­
dened with fear,
Yet these to the world are concealed.
Let me speak a kind word to ihe weak ones
each day,
Let me see that the hungry are fed;
For the wounded I pray for a house by the
way
With a cot for their weary head.
Further on, the historical sketc
says: “It became evident that Mor
terey was no place for a paper and i
May, 1847, Robert Semple issued th
first number of Volume II of th
“Californian” in the recently name
city of San Francisco. A careful cer
sus on June 1, 1847, gave the commui
ity: White men, 191; women, 7'
children, 107; Indians, 34; Sandwic
Islanders, 40; negroes, 10; total, 459.
There’s a service to give in life’s road-way
each day,
With the crowds that go rushing by,
And 1 could not remain in my house by the
way
And watch this in silence, not I.
But I’d go to their side, and help bear their
load,
And then I would cheerfully say—
“I’m glad I can walk with the men in the
road,
As I live in my house by the way.
