In Its Tougher Stages
You can treat 'em rough, but that
doesn’t mean motorists driving over the
Old Stage road will like it. And. if you
ask them, probably every sufferer from
the drive’s corduroy will point out w’ith
emphasis that such fabrics as road sur
facing just aren’t being worn this sea
son, or at least shouldn’t be.
The Old Stage road, that famous drive
leading through Jacksonville, skirting
rim of the valley toward Gold Hill, is
one of southern Oregon’s most beautiful
stretches of highway when it is smooth.
Now it shakes the cheaters off the best
rubber-neck era.
Once traveled by stage coaches, now
marked by signs bearing the legend,
“This is a great country,” the road is
not only a scenic drive, but also a very
busy boulevard, yet it has been allowed
to become so rough in many places it
doesn’t even rate as good as a short
season mountain trail used once every
blue moon—if that often. The Old Stage
road has become a drive which empha
sizes the old and tends toward profanity
in description of its stage. Lack of at
tention has led residents of the drive to
believe original ruts cut by early-day
freighters are still chiseled deep into the
roadbed.
In fact, it is safe to say that even a
knee-action ride would develop rheuma
tism over the road in its present state,
and perhaps a bit of a call at the county
court would develop enough drag to en
able a drag to be used on the road. Any
way, it would be worth a try, even if a
little equipment on the stretch would end
its free distribution of massages to mot
orists who pass that way.
Phooey on Boogies
Lately we have read of and listened
to a lot of doleful destroyers of public
faith and confidence who would have us
believe America and the world is on the
verge of something or other that’s going
to be simply awful.
Phew! Such people.
We are warned our government is
shaky, that we are spending ourselves
into bankruptcy and plunging into all
sorts of bottomless pits, especially so
near an election time. Business wizards
are fretting, large investors want Roose
velt to promise this or say that, and the
bedlam in national and state affairs is
not only confusing, it is decidedly de
pressing.
Confidence in the United States is
hard to obtain or maintain by watch
ing big things and big men. But an over
whelming assurance in this nation can
be gained right here at home which is
far more reliable and well-founded than
the witty sayings of any professional ob
server or economist.
So what? We expected that, and
here is our proof, which we believe is
irrefutable in showing that this nation
will continue great and powerful and
good. And it happened right over here
on Applegate a few days ago.
A family living over the hill suffered
the loss by fire of their little home, in
which they had settled for the winter.
Neighbors and CCC workers of the sec
tion. themselves pressed for money, took
time off one Sunday to build the unfor
tunate family a new one-room house
which would shelter them during the
winter. And. to top it off. the work was
done during a drenching rain, but the
couple dozen men and their wives went
on with their labor and lo! ere night fell
there stood a modest but sincere monu
ment to that great natural resource of
neighborliness and generosity of an
American people. The Washington mon
ument, towering more than 400 feet into
the air, could carry no greater tribute
to the elements which founded and fos
tered this great nation.
A little one-room home, built of do
nated lumber by Brush Marines from
Roosevelt’s CCC camp and neighbors
working without thought of gain, save
in comfort for other humans.
A nation with people like that can’t
be wrong. Let’s sing America again, and
really thrill to its strains.

States must protect their rights or get
left. And. you can bet, no one is going
to leave gun-totin’ Arizona high and dry,
no siree!
This ruckus concerning Parker dam in
Arizona and the governor’s resultant
calling out of the militia to protect his
state’s property and water rights along
the Colorado river have stirred up The
Miner’s admiration, whether the ques
tion be right or wrong.
After all. our government is made up
of individual states and we don’t blame
Governor B. B. Moeur a darned bit for
declaring martial law to prevent robbing
of Arizona’s natural resources by other
states. We would resent invasion of our
water and power by other nations, and
it is just as reasonable to rise in wrath
when an adjoining state would do the
same thing.
Of course, Governor Moeur may have
been hasty or ill-advised, but just the
same it whets our interest and kindles
moral support for any individual who
will rise and fight for a principle. It
shows courage, character and a sense of
moral decency which is not overshad
owed by mamby-pamby, kiss-your-ene-
mies sentimentalism for which this age
is noted. Too much reason, you know,
leads to a lack of it.
Moeur’s martial law at the damsite
was regarded by some as insurrection
against the government. But just the
same, we’re for slapping the old gent be
tween the shoulder blades. We think he’ll
do his state and the nation, too, some
good by taking a clear-cut defensive
stand.
We can’t have national independence
without a foundation of state and indi
vidual independence, and if you don’t
think so, just recall what the Civil war
did for this country, even with all the
faults of war.
The Old South may have lost her
fight, and may have been wrong in her
stand, but she helped make a white man
out of the North, Sir!
Bluntly, the fellow who hammers hell
out of you is the same guy who pounds
you into shape and tempers your mettle.
And as far as Arizona is concerned, we
say go to it, Moeur—don’t give southern
California a darned thing that’s not
rightfully theirs. Let ’em drink their
wonderful climate and you keep on hav
ing your share of the Colorado river.
She’s been flowing through Arizona for
thousands of years.

horribleness of war is unthought
—the cost of it, unrealized.
Imagine, If you can, a roll of
money large enough to buy the
state of New York, including its
huge metropolis. Then add to it a
roll capable of buying three states

GRADE SCHOOL CURIOSITIES
All classes from third grade on
up in grade school have had a
