rather than her election. Mrs. Carter
is most heartily in favor o f this plan.
This county is still in the throes o f

vote to move the county seat from
historic Jacksonville to the newer

Long Tramps Taken in Wind.
Within the past year there have
been emergency calls fo r visits to
schools far removed from the high
ways o f the Rogue river valley. Mrs.
Carter hiked 11 miles in mud too
deep fo r a car, to reach one remote
school, and on another day took a
16-mile trip on horseback.
For a
recent visit she started wit ha horse
tied behind her automobile |which
she drove at a speed suited to the
horses's gait. Upon reaching the end
o f the hard-surfaced road, she donned
her brother’s chaps and put on all the
wraps she could fasten, to endure the
cold mountain wind. And so she rode
ten miles farther on to the teacher
who had sent her the SOS.
"W ould I like an easier job ?” Mrs.
Carter laughed her reply.
“ Is this job a hard one? It keeps
me out-of-doors in this country which
I love best, with the wide valley and
the mountains dotted with homes o f
my friends. Here I see the masses o f
pear blossoms in the spring and in
hale their delicious fragrance. I have
the wild flowers in the canyons, the
stately evergreens on the hills, and
the everchanging coloring on Mount

“ I came here from a childhood
spent in Illinois. I have studied in the
University o f California and know

as well as those o f the Atlantic sea

years and met a cosmopolitan group
there. But fo r place and people in
all my acquaintance, give me Jackson

Mountain Heights Conquered.
“ I have enjoyed tennis, swimming,
and bowling, the last particularly in
Alaska. But my greatest delight is
to have my own two feet upon the
trail. There is no butte or blu ff with

I spent my girlhood which I have not

mountains both in the state and in

canter in the valley, or a climb on
mountain trails.
“ My husband, who is a busy build
