Cave Junction, Oregon, Thursd E ILLINOIS VALLEY AND SURROUNDING DISTRICTS November 21, 1940 Price 5 Cents i DRAINAGE WORK BY VOLUNTEERS Nearly all the men who volun teered to put in a day at the Cave Junction drainage work, showed up Wadnesday morning and con siderable work was done to help finish the project. Bad drainage places behind the . theater and Bert Watkins proper-; ty were shoveled out and ditches . made to connect up with the main canals. This will give temporary relief from overflowing water, but will not finish the project. Some of the men are going back Fri I day morning to complete what the I city volunteered to do, with the promise from WPA officials that the project would be finished if the men did their work as vol- unteers. A crew of men will start to work in the very near future on the west side highway, and some of them will be called over to the drainage projects to finish the work. Pipe layers will be brought here to finish laying the concrete pipe in fiont of the Watkins prop erty and then the highway drain age will be complete. This is ex pected to be done in the next few days. The work on Deer creek road will start immediately, also, but it is expected that most of the men from the west side highway will be taken to Deer creek and the west side finished in the spring, however, a few bad spots will be passable before winter. ------------ o------------ Thrasher Home Scene Of Delightful Party / A (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) By ALEXANDER GIFFORD THANK Thee for FAITH. The humble trust that suns will rise again; That over and through the universe there moves a plan, A changeless law that governs wind and rain; Constant—devising Thy beneficence for Man. THANK Thee.for LOVE. Greater than human passion or a close embrace— The love that says all living stems from Thee; Cares less than nothing for position, pride or race, But calls its Neighbor all humanity. THANK Thee for STRENGTH. The blessing of work—the humble job or great; The power to face each daily task begun; The knowledge of our mastery of fate And consciousness of worthwhile things well done. Miner Taken To Hospital The plight of the miner, up in the mountains all alone, was brought forcibly to the minds of the local people last week, when Frank Loveland, an old time miner living on Hansen’s Gulch, tribu tary to Canyon Creek, was taken seriously ill, and was not found until it was too late to do him any good, and died after reaching the hospital in Grants Pass, He died with compaction of the bow- els. A heroic effort was made to save the old miner. When he was found by one of his fellow miners ill, his friend raced for aid, and soon word reached Kerby of the plight of Mr. Loveland, and Dr. Edward Thorstenberg was sent for. With the Dr. and Mr. Cham berlain, an X-Ray specialist, and Jim Hogue, they left for the cabin of the miner and when the doctor saw the condition, he ordered him brought to the hospital immedi ately. Several miners were gathered together and with the aid of a horse with two solid limbs of a tree attached to the stirrups of the saddle, the men made a carry all and they took turns about on the end of the stretcher and he was brought out to Kerby where an ambulance was waiting to take him to Grants Pass. There was a car qn Tennessee Pass, and Mr. Loveland was transferred to the car there and brought into Kerby and again transferred to the am bulance. He died at 9 a. m. Saturday morning, after being in the hos pital a short time. He was brought out Friday night, arriving in Kerby about 5 a. m. Saturday morning. Funeral services will be held at the Hull and Hull funeral home at 1 :30 p. m. Friday, November 22nd. ------------ o------------ The scene of a delightful dinner THANK Thee for TRUTH party was last Saturday evening That we may choose the right—discard the wrong; at the George W.
