Thursday. December 1. 1911 KERBY HIGH SCHOOL NEWS By Elva Metaenger 49th State covered hills. Gable was the spark plug of the State of Jefferson, that amazing secession movement of five border counties who thought their rich mineral and timber lauds were be ing neglected by the parent states of Oregon and California. Gable was never what he claimed to be: “A hick Mayor of a West ern Coast town.” He was a smooth, cosmopolitan product with clothes cut bv a New York tailor and an acquaintance list built up from 11 years as a public relations man for Bell Telephone Company in Phil- adelphia. For the dramatics of it, he liked to pose as just a small tow n mayor. Gable probably knew that his 49th State and secession movement would never be accomplished. But hc knew the weakness of state leg islatures, the pin pricks of ad verse publicity, and he used them neatly. But death beat him to the knock out punch.
