MAIL TRIBUNE
DAILY CROSS-WORD PUZZLE
Brought to mind by Plans for
dedication of the fine new span on
the Pacific highway near YreJca.
Cal., August 29, as the "Pioneer
bridge." an Interesting account of
the first wagon trip through the
Siskiyou mountains was related yes
terday by Wellborn Beeson, whose
grandfather, John Beeson, and fath
er. Wellborn, came to the valley
In 1853 by ox team, settling In the
Wagner Creek district,
"In 1854." said Mr. Beeson, Mthe
first wheat crop of any conse
quence, was raised in the valley
and ground Into flour at Ashland
In a mill near the great oak tree
which still stands at the entrance
of Llthia park. The flour was to
be taken to Yreka for sale, with
financing of the crop and trans
portation provided by Henry Amcr
man. early day capitalist.
"Three heavy wagons, each drawn
by six oxen, were loaded with the
flour and started out In charge
of Harvey Oatman (father of the
late Elmer Oatman of Medford),
Daniel P. Brlttan, and a Mr. Liv
ingston. There being no roads
through the Stsktyous, getting the
lumbering vehicles over the rough
country was a laborious task. It
Is probable that the train followed
approximately the route now known
as the old toll road.
"Near the summit of the moun
tains the wagon train was attack
ed by a small band of renegade
Modocs from the Klamath coun
try and Livingston was killed. Oat
man, In the lead, managed to es
cape with his wagon and subsequently-
completed the Journey to
Yreka. Brlttan escaped with hts
life but his wagon and that of
Livingston were burned after the
Indians had emptied the flour from
the sacks, the latter apparently be
ing the only articles of value to
the tribesmen.
"Returning to the valley the
teamsters reported tho attack and
a force was Immediately recruited
by Captain Wm. Rockefeller, one
of the leading men of the Wagner
creek community, to take after the
marauders. Not long after they
had picked up the trail the set
tlers found three of the renegades
dead apparently victims of another
Indian band. Tho apot where the

Cable Kates Cut
NEW ORLEANS, La.. Aug. 29. (UP)
The All-American Cable company has
announced a reduction on cables
from Argentina, Bolivia. Brazil, Chile,
Paraguay. Peru and Uruguay to New
Orleans, thus putting the Crescent
City on a parity with New York. The
reduction represents a saving of 8
to 10 cents a word on full rate cable
grams and a proportionate reduction
on all classes of deferred cablegram
service.
Tho county court. In Its session
Monday pored over budget estimates
as submitted by the various county
officers, and found that the expenses
had been pruned to the line, with an
estimated saving of close to 911,000.
Purchase of supplies, elimination of
extra help by reduction of working
forces, upkeep of machinery, such as
typewriters, comptometers, traveling
expenses, and postage , telegraph and
telegraph bill, are the main Items
stashed.
There has been no cut In salaries
which are set by law. A voluntary
ten per cent reduction was suggested,
but some of tho elective officers
tailed to acquiesce, and the county
court refused to sanction a cut that
did not include all.
One expense scheduled for a drostlc
reduction is the maintenance of the
old courthouse at Jacksonville, now
used only for public meetings, but
having o light, water and fuel bill
and a Janitor.
The coming year according to tho
estimates of the county clerk, will
a heavy ' decrease In the county
receipts about 30.000. Expense exits
to date are about half that sum. The
decrease is attributed to the reduc
tion in the O-O tax refunds, tardi
ness of taxpayers occasioned by tak
ing advantage of the eight per ceni
Interest penalty for delinquent tax
payers and the economic stress.
The county court expects to name
a budget committee before the first
of the month to act with mom in
formulating the 1933 budget. They
will start their work a month earlier
than usual because of the need of
retrenchment.

CLOTHING AGENT
R. O. Freeman pleaded not guilty
in Judge Taylor's court Monday to ob
taining goods under fake pretenses
from the Pennington Battory com
pany by uwulng a check on a local
bank for 2 In payment, when the
money was not in the bank to pay
the chock.
It seems that Freeman, who has
his headquarters as nalesmau in a
tout at Prospect, taking orders for
men's clothing among the Copco and
other workers, has a number of other
checks out among other business con
cerns, amounting in all to about
1180, either .post-dated or marked to
bo held until such time aa there
may be money In the bank to meet
them. This was done some time ago.
Both Freeman and his attorney.
Frank DeSoiuia. related In court that
Freeman had explained to each man
where he passed the check that,
while Uiere waa no money in his ac
count then, he expected money in a
lew days and that the checks should
be hold until the money arrived.
They said each person accepted the
check under those conditions.
In the meantime alnce hts arrest
on the Pennington ohsrge relatives
have sent sufficient money to the
sheriff to pay off all the chocks, and
Attorney DcSouaa stated in court
that he would personally see that all
were paid.
Under these circumstances the de
fense request that the trial bo con
tinued for 16 days waa granted by
the court and Freeman wos released
on his own recognizance. Assistant

Clara Kimball Young, "and I don't
mind admitting it because nowadays it
isn't birthdays that count.
"The woman who knows how to keep
the lovely sparkling freshness of youth
can be charming at almost any age.
Stage and screen stars guard complexion
beauty above all. They know that a
skin smoothly soft is always appealing.
"Several years ago I discovered that
regular care with Lux Toilet Soap would
keep my skin in wonderful condition,
and now that I have returned to the
screen, I depend on this nice soap to
keep my skin youthfully fresh."
In Hollywood 9 out of 10 stars, like
