The "Stink Bush "
Old Grants I'ass, the stags station
and its neighborhood had a little old
rickety, picturesque school bouse, set
one of the most beautiful situations
southern Oregon, about half a mile
northeast of the Grants I'ass of the
present. The little building waa sit
uated in the shade of a number ol large
oak trees, and the little play ground in
front, w. rn smooth as a floor by the
p ittir of small bara feet, waa ringel by
oaks, just the right diitance apart for
"l'ussv wanta a corner." Three
months' school in the summer time was
the rpgular program. The old building
has long since passed into oblivion anil
th osks have all been cut up into stove
wood. The former pupils of this school,
if they happen nl org by he old scenes,
o v so changed, gaze with sadness and
reverence on the slump of "Old Big
lllack Oak", as on the grave of a friend.
Ol all the youngs ers who attended
this achool year in and year out, there
aie now but two living in Grants Pass,
and of thoss who atp-nded a term or
two, there are perhaps four of five
more.
The children of this school, In the
earlier terms bad a recoguized and
established institution which seems to
have been peculiar to this ulace and
handed down by tradition from
term to term. This was the "stink
hu-h". The "stink bush" was a giant
chapparral, spreaJing itself fan like in
all directions, thick and iinpsne'raole.
in uiosn uays, rattlesnake wore no
rarity and were often killed in the
vicinity of the achool housa. Some
times they would even he seen attempt
ing to cross the play, ground. On such
occasions the youngsters would fall upon
ihuin en masse, with hall bats, sticks,
clubs, atonea, any weapon that came to
hand, shouting and yelling like little
Indians, ami the snake's existence
would violently cease. Then the
mangled remains would Iki throw n into
the "atink bush" and left th ire to it i s
sipale their fragrance in the balmy
summer air. Kvery "blow-Bnake,
"blue racer," or other slimy .beast killed
by the youngsters was diKised of like
wise hvery unfortunate lizard who
rashly ti posed himself to the juvenile
view was gathered ill as a trophy for the
"stink bush".
Some times a d ger squirrel would lie
capuned and he would be a prize in
leed. I he ik or little mouse who fell
into the water bucket during the night
to be llsheil out in the morning found
repose in tho ''stink bush". Dead cats
would be brought from home in the
interests of the institution. It was the
recognized uuty ol ttie youngsters to
keep the "stink bush" supplied an
they never failed to be diligent and
taithlul in its performance.
Mil there came a term when the
teacher decided lhat so much chapparral
brush about the school house was an
eye sore aud tthe. ordered it cut down
in the Blashmg that followed, the "atiuk
liush" ao perished.
