PAGE SIX SIEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. SUNDAY. MAY 19. 1940. Anderson Butte Little Applegate Loop, Is Popular "Trip-of-the-Week 99 WILD FLOWERS IN AREA MAKE DRIVE AN ENJOYABLE ONE Tour Includes Ski Ground Popular In Winter 47 Miles Covered. As the spring season advances we begin to set the wanderlust and have a desire to get out in the deep shade of the forests, or scale one of the many peaks that surround the valley, or en joy a picnic lunch by the side of a mountain stream where the air seems to be Just a little bit cooler and fresher than any place else. Medford's Rojme Wonderland offer many such opportunities, and a trip to the Anderson Butte Lookout, thence to the Little Applegate River Is found to be a most enjoyable one, combining several of these attractive fea tures. Let's take this trip and see for ourselves what nature has to offer. We start south on Highway S9 from Main and Riverside streets, and at 4.8 miles turn right around the Texaco station in Phoenix. Now on a surfaced highway, we travel In a south erly direction to a highway sign directing us to the Anderson Creek road. Here we turn right onto a narrower and unpaved road. We are travelling through orchards and farms but are slightly above the valley floor, and get a good view of the farm ing district around Talent and Ashland. In a few more minutes we come to a crossroad, but con tinue straight ahead toward An derson Creek as indicated by the road sign. Seven-tenths of a mile further on turn sharply to the right, and we are on the Anderson Creek road travelling up the creek and with no chance of getting off our course by keeping the main traveled road. Now we are leaving the man made farms of the valley and enter Nature's garden of wild- flowers and a variety of shrubs, evergreen, and coniferous trees bordering the lotidside. Those interested In wlldflowers will be pleased with the many var ieties growing along the road side, Including: Indian Paint Brush, Deerweed, Wild Holly hock. California Holly, Gold Fields, Lilac. Blazing Star. Primrose. Wild Hyacinth. But tercup. Yellow Violet, Blue Lu pine, California Poppy, Pincush ion, Madia, Cream Cups, Mon key Flower, Meadow Foam. How many jof these can you find and Identify? The tall, stately trees that wtU be seen are the Douglas and white firs, incense cedars, and the ponderosa pine. The streams are bordered with al der trees and many kinds of shrubs adding to their beauty and refreshing atmosphere. Soon we enter Anderson Creek canyon and begin to climb up the mountain as the road winds In wide curves and switchbacks to Anderson Gap at the summit of the divide be tween Bear Creek and Little Applegate river. Here It seems that a new world unfolds as we reach the top and get our first real glimpse of the rugged Sis kiyou mountains. We are anxi ous to see more of the country, so we turn to the right and drive 3.9 miles to Anderson Butte! Lookout Station 5.000 feet above sea-level and but 18 8 miles from Medford. We climb the Lookout Tower which enables us to get the best possible vlew.i POISON OAK? Trr a bottla of ZEMACOL Vo must be uil.rint er eonr nmnee rieerfuii reiiinrieii.

As we make our first general survey of the territory that can be seen from Lookout to horizon in all directions, we are so thrilled over the great expanse of country visible that we are practically speechless. Note the great contrast between the rough mountainous area to the south which is the Applegate Ranger District and the fertile Rogue river valley to the north, whose farms and orchards of various sires and shapes have from this elevation the appear ance of a crazy quilt pattern. From here we can look Into McDonald basin, which Is vis ited In the winter by groups of Rogue Snowmen representing the ski enthusiasts of Medford and vicinity. This basin has great possibilities as a winter playground for southern Oregon and plans are being laid to op en up the area and make Is ac cessible to the many ardent fol lowers of snow sports in this locality. Looking In a northeast direc tion toward the Cascades we easily Identify Mt. McLoughlin; then as we swing further north we see Mt. Scott and even Llao Rock on the very rim of Crater Lake. Still further north, Mt. Thielsen on the east side and Mt. Bailey on the west side of Diamond Lake are visible. As we turn our gaze to the south there are numerous prominent peaks from Mt. Ashland in the southeast to Greyback Moun tain in- the southwest. The lookout man assists us In identifying the various moun tain peaks and drainages, and we learn that- It is an essential part of his Job to know these various landmarks In order that he may properly report the fires he detects. He also points out the large, light green patches on several mountain aides as con trasted to the dark green of the timbered areas, which ne ex plains are brushfields that have followed fires which occurred In these mountains at various times in the past. We know that the forest fire season Is here and we know the values lost when fires burn over these tim bered slopes, so let's do our part to help keep fires out. Care less smokers start a large num- ber of fires each year so re- member and do not smoke while traveling in forested areas. If y"11 mus smoke, stop In a safe P'ace. smoke, and carefully put ollt ,n1 cigarette butt before leaving. Aiier we nave sponi our al lotted time enjoying the panor amic view from the lookout sta tion, we begin thinking about a place to enjoy our picnic lunch. Little Applegate campground is I suggested and we decide to go there. We return to Anderson I Can. take the road to the right S00 CUBIC TOOT LOAD eaiaoH End Norlh Central MS V m mm mm mm W CN PHOENIX? (A.) Little Applegate Camp and start down the mountain. Seven-tenths of a mile from An derson Gap we cross the old Sterling ditch, one of the most Interesting landmarks in this section. This ditch is twenty- seven miles long and was con structed sixty-four years ago at a cost of $130,000. Chinese labor was used, the Chinese worker receiving $.25 per day. Timbers for the abandoned flume to the left were floated down the ditch for miles from the sawmill which was located at the head of Glade Fork. This ditch is still used during winter months for mining purposes at the Ster ling Mine. Four and four-tenths miles from Anderson Gap we see a new bridge across the Little Applegate river which takes us to the Little Applegate camp ground. Here the forest service has recently installed stoves, tables, and other facilities, and we find a very pleasant place to have our lunch in the cool shade of the forest by this small stream. A good rest after lunch and we are ready to start home. We take the road down Little Ap plegate river 11.5 miles to the Junction with the Big Applegate road and from here the road is surfaced to Medford via Ruch. and Jacksonville, a distance of 18 miles. We are home again having traveled but 47 miles with a memory of a delightful trip and a feeling that we are ever so much more intimately acquainted with another part of Medford's Rogue Wonderland. George Raft Stars With Joan Bennett In Rialto Picture With George Raft and Joan Bennett sharing stellar honors and a strong supporting cast featuring Walter Pidgeon. Gla dys George and Lloyd Nolan, "The House Across the Bay", heads the double bill program opening a three day todny at the New Rialto Theatre. "Alias the Deacon", featuring Rnli Burns and Mischa Auer, plays, as the companion film with "The House Across the Bay". 1 "The House Across the Bay" Is the story of Brenda Bentlcy, a beautiful and alluring woman, who is left in a hostile world when her husband is convicted for income tax evasion Ond sent to Alcatraz prison In the San Francisco Bay. It Is Brcnda's problem to battle this hostile world and to work for the faith ' itv HoTeL AiANX -a Ntt w em . r. r sowm j.'''! lv ?00 MINIMUM R -VTS and loyalty expected of her by the man behind bars. Brenda is exposed to temptations and to difficulties, but her love for her husband remains a blind ing emotion to which she clings against all odds. However, when Walter Pidgeon, impersonating the second romantic lead, comes into her life, the picture moves swiftly and dynamically to a climax that is as punchy as it is unexpected. Bob Bun, with his bazooka and his homely, homespun stor ies about the kinfolk back yon der, returns to the screen in "Alias the Deacon", a new film from the master of laugh-getters, which plays as the com panion feature with "The House Across the Bay". In contrast to his more recent roles, Burns is distinctly himself in "Alias the Deacon". Comedy situations are height ened by the presence of Mischa Auer. who appears with Burns for the first time. As the vola tile barber of an oil boom town, Auer helps Bums solve the dif ficulties of some troubled friends by outwitting a group of smalltime crooks. Dennis O'Keefe and Peggy Moran pro vide the romantic interest, and O'Keefe pairs with Guinn (Big Boy) Williams in a ten-round prizefight that proves the ac tion highlight of the double bill. ! Others in the strong support ing cast include Edward Brophy, Spencer Charters and Bennie Bartlctt. San Francisco Butter Sacramento, May 17.
