REVIVED CRATERS
TO CITY, VALLEY
Rapidly winning the name of being
the outstanding civic organization of
Medford devoted to bringing favorable
publicity to the city and the Rogue
River valley, the Medford Crater club,
which waa re-organized late laat
spring, has In the past few months
made a distinct Impression of the
work being done since the re -organ t-
sail on.
Most recent of the activities In
which the Craters club nab shown Its
spirit of boosting tho city have been
at the Gold Hill Fair, the Talent Peur
Bhow, the Yreka Gold Rush and the
Bhasta -Cascade Wonderland associa
tion get-together, held last week In
Klamath Falls.
At Gold Hill, the Craters waa the
only outside elub to be represented In
the parade and the citizens of that
thriving little community gave ample
expression of their appreciation. Next
on the list was the Talent Pear and
Tomato Show and once again the
Craters turned out taking with them
larger uniformed body than any
other organization.
The Yreka Gold Rush found the
Caters and their uniformed band out
it almost full force. Not only did
they show the California city of their
desire to help put over the celebra
tion, but also won the first prize of
50.00 for the best '49er entry from
outside towns.
In a recent letter to the president
of -the Crater club, Montgomery a
Rice, secretary of the Yreka Miners
elub. said:
"The Yreka Miners take great pleas
ure In Informing you that In accord
ance with the decision of the Judges,
the first prize amounting to $50.00
was awarded to your organization for
the best '40er entry In the Gold Rush
parade from outside the city limits of
Yreka, and I accordingly enclose
check for that amount.
"I am. also Instructed to convey to
your organization the gratification of
the Yreka Miners arising from the
laudable exhibition of clvlo pride and
neighborllneos shown by your organ I
cation In preparing such an Interest
ing and well executed entry. It waa
the feeling of the Miners, and, we are
certain, of all the spectators, that
. your entry not otily was of the great
est assistance In giving1 to the par
ade the color and tone we desired, but
that It would have been a credit to
any organization In any parade. We
re very proud that your organiza
tion took sufficient Interest In the
Oold Rush to bring such a fine entr?
and we thank you for coming. We
hope to see you soon and often."
At Klamath Falls last week, at the
dinner of the Bhaata-Cascade Wonder
land association, the Craters once
gain ntole tho show, putting on a
atunt that left no doubt In tho minds
of the spectators of tho spirit and
civic pride of the local club.
