ADDS NEW TYPE
the Increased demand lor Meadow
Brook Grade A raw milk and cream
has made more efficient delivery
eauiDment necessary, and the pur
chase of a Dodge commercial car wit
a Medford made Mann custom built
body, by Warner and Young, the own
ers, has placed the most modern and
sanitary equipment available on their
delivery route, according to L. C. Tay- I
lor, sales manager for the Pierce
Allen Motor Co., Dodge and Plymouth
dealers.
Meadowbrook milk is produced
' from Warner and Young's own herd
of carefully selected cows which have
passed all tests required under fed
eral, state and city Inspection. Milk
from this herd has been entered at
the Pacific International Dairy Pro
ducts show and the Oregon State fair
and it has won silver medal awards
with scores above 97 per cent the last
three years
In the Medowbrook herd there are
many pure bred registered Jersey cows
with enviable show ring records. For
the production of the highest quality
raw milk, this herd ia cared for In
one of the most modern and sanitary
dairy barns in southern Oregon.
All feeding is under the personal
supervision of Mr. Young, a dairyman
with years of experience In the hand
ling of high grade cows. Painstaking
care is essential to Insure the highest
quality milk and cream, according to
Mr. Young.
The streamline body of the new de
livery truck is cork Insulated and it
la absolutely dust proof and dirt
proof. It was designed and manufac
tured by Mann's Auto Service, which
is well known for the many attract
ive truck bodies made in Medford for
southern Oregon firms. It Is the only
body of Its type In this district, ac
cording to Ed Mann. The back of the
body may be completely opened or
the milk may be removed from the
many small drawer-compartments. B.
E. Adams has charge of the construc
tion department at Mann's.
The Dodge commercial unit Is
handy, flexible and very substantially
built. It Is fast and easy to handle
which makes It ideal for milk de
livery or any other delivery Job where
speed and economy are important.
Dodge has over two dozen extra qual
ity features that aave gaa, oil and
tires and cut upkeep expense.
Mr. Taylor aays: "A carload of the
new 1935 Dodge trucks will arrive in
Medford soon. The shipment will in
clude the new type cab with a new
door hanging and a new model pickup
which will have a 78-inch body. Any
one contemplating the purchase of a
commercial car of this sire should
see this new Dodge line."
The Pierce-Allen Motor Co. has re
cently delivered Dodge and Plymouth
automobiles and Dodge trucks to the
following: Jane O. Hansen, Plymouth
aedan; Thomas S. Swoape of White-
man Trucking Co., Dodge commercial
car; Jack C. Akers, Plymouth sedan;
Dr. R. P. Mortensen of Siskiyou Me
morial Park, Dodge coupe; and A. L.
Case, Dodge sedan.
BLUE LEDGE MINE TRIP
SUGGESTED FOR SUNDAY
The Mail Tribune today publisnps the third of a series of MiggMtpd
short trips for motorists In the Medford region. Tn Mn" Tribune auto
editor welcomes suggestions for Sunday excursions In this vicinity.
Today's trip, which takes the autoist to the Blue Ledge mine, lollotts:
The quiet,
moulerlng decay of -a i
ghost town, the thrill of an eagles
view from a mountain pass down i
into the smoky panorama of the i
upper Applegate valley, one . of the I
most beautiful spota in Oregon, and
the thousand sweet smells on the
night air, awaits the adventurous
family willing to devote a Sunday
afternoon to a drive to Joe Barr
and the Blue Ledge mine.
Of all the beautiful drives In
southern Oregon, this Is one 'of the
best, and also one of the least
known. By taking the Applegate
highway out of Jacksonville, and
continuing up stream past Ruch to
the Star ranger station, the. way Is
easy. The road la smooth and the
curves are gradual enough, at least
for several miles. Follow the road
past Star to the next covered bridge,
crossing the river to the left side,
looking up stream.
The road follows on through the
village of Copper, and has recently
been regraded by the Civilian Con
servation Corps, to the Hutton ranger
station. A little care in following
signs takea the family across Elliott
creek and Into Joe Barr, a deserted
village of dilapidated buildings, the
old ghost town which had its hey
dey when the Blue Ledge mine.
perched like an eagles' nest on a
mountain ledge, about five miles
above, was running full blast.
A twisting mountain road leads
away from Joe Barr up to the mine,
and although steep It is smooth and
easily negotiable. It is not, however.
advisable for an Inexperienced driver
to make the climb. At many points
there Is a sheer drop of hundreds
of feet, but to those of stout heart
the reward Is a rich one.
It is Impossible to drive clear to

some of the old mine buildings, In
full view of the Interesting scene
above. To those who have never been
to the spot, there is no way to pre
pare them for the experience. AU
the visions of castles in Spain, mon
asteries perched on Alpine cliffs and
the mast elaborate of weird movie
thriller sets are conjured up by the
picture.
There is water here, but no par
ticularly good place to picnic? How
ever, if the trip is so planned that
the stop at this summit Is made Just
at dusk, the picture is complete. One
can see for miles and miles out over
the beautiful valley below, with the
Applegate river twisting and twinkl
ing in the distance. At dusk all the
mountain aim?! is creep out of hiding
and lend an enchantment that will
make one forget the worries of every
day, prosaic existence.
If the party is to be an all-day
affair, a fine diversion Is to picnic
at the first covered bridge past Star.
The kids can take the car, cross
the bridge, and go downstream about
a mile or more to one of the best
swimming spots on the river. The
swimming hole Is not easily acces
sible, but Is of such excellence that
a little effort expended will soon
be forgotten.
The best way to find the spot is
to look for a pipe line which crosses
the river in centllever style, like a
swinging bridge. The swimming spot
is up stream about 100 feet irom
this, but la reached only by wading
down stream about 100 yards from
a gradually shelving beach which
can be seen from the road above.
The water here Is clean and cool,
and rocks from which to dive are
handy for the older kids, while (
fine pool is available for the youngs
ters. The trip from Medford to the
the mountain divide, at the site ox mine and return Is about 80 miles.
New 1936 Nash4009
Is Described As
"Revolutionary"
Nah Invades a new price field with
the new 1938 "400" series a car de
scribed .is revolutionary in design
and construction to sell In the lower
middle price bracket. The new cars
are now on display In the salesroom
of Walter W. Abbey. Inc.
With the announcement of its new
"400" series, an addition to the com
pany's present line of cars, Nash also
introduces the first "Monitor Sealed
Motor," perhaps the most compact,
simplest and most cleanly designed
engine ever used to power a pro
duction automobile.
Simplification of engine design has
long been a topic for discussion
among automotive engineers, and the
Nash Motors company has taken def
inite steps in this direction by de
veloping a power plant that may
exert a tremendous Influence on
future automotive design.,
Hundreds of previously essential
parts have been eliminated In the
new motor's construction. Including
all exterior manifolding; and because
the outside of the engine is so free
from gadgets and miscellaneous fit
tings, all operating parts are ea&lly
and quickly accessible. This, it is
claimed, greatly reduces engine main
tenance costs. Valve grinding, as an
example, can be accomplished In far
less time than that formerly neces
sary. Backing up Nash's claim for revo
lutionary Improvements, the 400" Is
the first car to make hood lifting
unnecessary at wrvlco stations, both
oil and water being quickly added
through a convenient "service door'
formed by the hinged radiator ornament.

ESSES
Walking along road 17
Many pedestrians seem to regard
their lives of less importance than
the few seconds' time that may be
saved by crossing streets without
regard to hazardous conditions, al
though It is true there are many
drivers who take advantage of
pedestrians.
In 1934 nearly half of all the per
sons killed in automobile accidents
were pedestrians, It Is shown by the
annual figures compiled 1y the
Travelers Insurance Company. The
total number of pedestrians killed
was 15,950, while nearly 270,000
pedestrians were Injured.
Five out ot every eight pedes
trians killed, It Is shown, were In
volved In accidents while crossing
streets In the middle ot the block,
crossing Intersections against sig
nals or diagonally, darting out Into
streets from behind parked cars, or
while walking along rural highways.
It has been pointed out that pedes
trians run across streets In the mid
dle of the block or against signals
because many feel that little if any
more protection Is given them at
properly designated crosswalks or
when they wait for signals. Many
pedestrians know that It Is danger
oub to walk along rural highways,
but since paths or walks have not

been provided, the question often Is
raised, "what else can pedestrians
do along rural highways?" Of course
It Is good advice to walk facing traf
fic. Pedestrians may well pause to
consider the fact that In 1934 the
rate of death per pedestrian acci
dent was 45 per cent worse crossing
In the middle of the block than at
Intersections, and was 74 per cent
worse crossing against signals than
with signals. At the same time, how
ever, the driver Is warned to "be
tolerant with the podestrlan, since
the latter's faults are not crimes
punishable by death."
