Staff Photographer, Th Oregon! an
Nope, there ain't no free gold in
those hills no more.' That la the si
lent message of dozens of empty i
prospector's shacks along the Rogue!
river trail, discovered by The Oro-gonian-Oregon
State Motor asso
ciation motor;log party.
But the country Is rich In queer
people, strange lives, and sudden
death. It abounds In the biggest
and best and the worst. When taller
tales are told, no doubt, a Rogue
rlverlta will tell them, but It Is
sometimes hard to say which Is
truth and which fiction.
We left the Siskiyou forest head
quarters In Grants Pass on Monday
morning. Les ColvIU, new assistant
supervisor at this office, was to
accompany me throughout the trip.
Pat Vickera drove the forest serv
ice car for us to where- we began
the actual trail trip.
Twenty-two miles of easy driv
ing brought us to Givlice. Two and
a half miles beyond is Rand ranger
station, and a forest service road
has been built along the Rogue river
for another seven miles. i
One of the most famous spots
along the road to Gallca is Hett
gate canyon on the Rogue river.
Here the Rogue flows for perhaps
a quarter of a mile through a nar
row channel with more or less
sheer rock watls several hundred
feet high.
Rood Follows Canyon -
Our winding course led along the
side of the river canyon. The road
builders used generous quantities
of dynamite, for many sections of
the road are gouged right out of
the cliffs. If you enjoy driving over
crooked roads with startling views;
down into the depths of the can
yon, here Is a place that will either
warm your heart or make It miss
several beats.
At Rand ranger station we stopped
to pick up Loren Cooper, district
ran hp r of the Gnlice area, who was
to go with us to Muio crock. Ho
had arranged for horses and pack
mules to be ready at the end of the
road.
We crossed the Rogue over the
i Grave creek bridge, a nationally
famous structure. It Is a suspen
sion type built entirely of timber
by CCC company 1650, directed by
capable engineers.
Not far beyond were our horses
and pack mules. Claude Keyte,
packer for Gallce district, was In
charge of the string. He took our
sleeping bags and other equipment
and deftly began loading them on
the three pack mules.
It began to rain. There had been
some light showers as we drove
In, but this was very definitely rain.
We cheerfully told one another It
would clear away tomorrow.
The trail was good. It led In and
out of canyons and over ridges In
a series of easy grades.
At Intervals we wore treated to
new and changing views of the
Roguo river. Sometimes it would
be flowing In swirls and cascades
through a rocky, narrow gorge, and
then again it would widen to a
broad and peaceful stream between
densely forested mountain sides.
There were flowers everywhere,
too wild lilacs, azaleas, mock or
ange, ocean spray and a hundred
others.
About halfway to Horseshoe bend
Is Slate slide forest camp, and we
stopped for a time while Loren
tulked to his forest service work
crew stationed there. Jim Ross,
one of this crew, came on with us
jand did our cooking at the Horse
shoe bend camp.
We sat around after supper and
talked for a while, but I soon be
came too sleepy to stay awake.
Next morning the weather wns
still definitely rainy. Occasionally
the clouds would thin' enough to
raise our hopes to the point of ac
tualty expecting sunshine, but It
never came. The bright spot seemed
always to be followed by blacker
clouds and wetter rain.
It was nearly noon when we ar
rived at Mule creek. This was the
halfway point of the trip. A sign

here read, Agness, 24 miles; Rand
station, 27& miles,
Frank Lightfoot, district ranger
from Agness, met us at this point.
He was to accompany Les Colvill
and I over the remainder of the
trail. Loren Cooper left us here.
Claude Keyte was to go as far as
Brushy bar guard station and re
turn next day.
We stopped overnight at Brushy
bar guard station. Here we really
arose early. Claude woke early,
very enriy, we found later, and no
ticed it had stopped raining; so he
mmediately got up and began pack
ing his mules in order to get them
ready before everything became
I wet again.
I Tho nrdmtsing morning turned
out to be a snare and a delusion. It
soon started raining so hard that
the other days seemed dry by com-
fparison. The horses' feet sloshed
and plopped In the mud.
Arrive at II I ah e
Eventually we came to the Big
bend rnnch at Itlahe, now owned
by Charles Pettinger. Mrs. .Pet
tinger was busy preparing a dinner
for us. as Frank had telephoned
her from Brushy bar.
Mr. Pettinger has the- mail car
rying contract for the Agness-Ma-rinl
route, but the pack train is
handled by Hathaway Jones, ack
nowledged the champion tali tale
teller of the Rogue river. Dean
Walker is his he pier, and probably
runner-up on the yarn-spinning
championship as well.
After dinner, which included on
the bill of fare some of Hathaway's
remarkable narratives, we bid
good-bye to Hathaway and Denn.
Pettinger took us down the road as
far as the slide, then we carried
our belongings across and loaded
them into a waiting forest servicfl
truck. In a short time we were en
joying a hot shower bath which
Mrs. Lightfoot had made ready for
us in ono of the Agness ranger
station houses.
Next morning we went on to
Gold Beach in one of 1hc river
boats which for years have been
the sole connection of Agness and
Italic with the outside world. After
this year the isolation will be bro
ken, for a rond is now being com
pleted from Illahe to the Rose-burg-Myrtle
Point highway, by way
of Powers. .
The boat trip was but uneventful
save for the soaking I received
from spray thrown over the boat
by the wind.
From Gold Beach we returned
to Portland via the coast hiehwav.

GRANTS PASS, July 10. (AP)
Confronted with their choice of finea
or "Jail terms" for their bicycles,
youthful violators of the Grants Pass
bicycle ordinance are generally choos
ing caah payment. Police Judge C. R.
Duer says.
The ordinance has been widely cop-
led over the state, being based on the
state motor vehicle code and requir
ing riders' examinations and machine
licenses. Bicycles rather than riders
are "arrested." Most violations have
beenlof the rule requiring lights at
night but some wheels have been
picked up for all night parking.
