VALLEY ORCHARDS
VIEWED IN BRIEF,
PLEASANTJDUTING
Historic Anderson Ranch
On 90-Minute 'Trip-of
The-Week'.
By D wight Houghton
A reader remarked a lew days
ago that almost too many right
and leit turns were made in
the motor logs. Such is the un
remediable fact. Had these roads
In this garden spot of ours, been
built recently they would prob
ably have been laid out
straight as the proverbial string
and in planning them thus would
have completely spoiled the
beauty of these same meander
ing by-ways. Those followers
who are handicapped with a
short memory should now ob
serve carefully the few simple
directions for the drive which
may be termed the South Val
ley Loop. Invite your friends,
neighbors, and especially visi
tors to accompany you on this
trip.
Starting at Main and River
aide, drive east on Main Street,
toward Roxy Ann, past the
Rogue River Valley Golf club
with its unforgettable vista of
the South Valley and Siskiyou
range. In rapid succession the
Leonard Carpenter's orchard
and Hillcrest orchard are para
lleled on your left. At the far
aide of the latter is the first
Important right turn. This is two
miles out, so follow the sign
marked "Hillcrest Koad." With
in a short distance a road forks
to the left toward Roxy Ann,
but this log is South and to the
right. In the next several miles
you will find many enticing by
ways turning off to both sides
of this logged path. One of these
to the left at the 41 j mile mark
la designated as "Coal Mine
Road", A genuine coal mine ex
ists up there, but your course
Is due south and you must carry
on.
Sight seekers who enjoy the
thrill of an early morning trip
will surely revel in the beauty
of the dewey freshness of the
landscape and of the unfolding
wild flowers adding Just the
right dash of color here and
there among the fields and orch
ards of variegated greens. Even
the new mown hay raked sym
metrically into neat cocks and
the occasional rail fence slouch
ing through a draw in the rol
ling hills, emphasize that "At
Peace With The World" feeling.
Surround this beauty with tiers
of hills and mountains tinted
from deep green to pastel blue,
daub a lumpy white cloud or
two in the hazy sky and you will
have completed the general pan
orama which follows you the
entire way.
Six and one half miles of
travel take the traveler to his
first Important left turn. The
road is plainly marked "Fern
Valley Road". Don't make the
mistake of many motorists and

turn the wrong direction across
Bear Creek bridge to the main
highway. Within two miles from
the turn onto Fern Valley road,
and Vx miles from your start
ing, will be found on your left
the well known Alford peach
and apricot orchard. This is a
large planting and was one of
the pioneer tracts for this ever
growing industry. Hold to the
right by following the markers
toward Talent and do not drive
too fast because the crest of the
hill a short distance ahead af
fords an excellent perch from
which to enjoy the scenes to
ward Ashland and the Siskiyou
pass. At ones' feet is a vineyard,
beyond that a new pear orch
ard surrounded by many more
acres of pears.
, Driving on, prepare for a left
turn at the ten mile pent, this
time 'on a path marked "Sun

Orchard which is but part of
Rogue River Orchard company a
vast holdings. Drive straight
ahead past the packing sheds
and across the small bridge,
keeping to the main travelled

across an Irrigation ditch on
Ashland road, you come to the
Pacific highway.
Now drive north toward Med
ford and in passing observe
Jackson Hot Springs, a delight
ful spot for the family to enjoy
a picnic outing. The day Is yet
young at this point of your mo

serves honorable mention.
Everyone speaks of Anderson
Road or Anderson Creek, but
gives little thought to the pio
neer after whom these land
marks were named. Tarry for a
few moments on the south side
of the highway and you will ob
serve a mansion of typical
American architecture standing
proudly In a grove of various
native trees, carefully planted
many decades ago. The weather
beaten roadside sign still desig
nates It as Anderson Ranch. The
property is still in the original
family and is owned by Mrs.
Phillips of Ashland, a daughter
of Mr. Anderson. A silent grand
eur seems to permeate the
grounds and surroundings, and
we are reminded of distinctive
guests, even Royalty who was
entertained here when valley
folk were still considered pio
neers. Now hold your hats for you

WALL ST. BUYING
New Vork, June 8. P) In
dealings that barely kept the
ticker tape alive, the stock mar
ket today finished a war-hesitant
week pointing slightly
downward.
European bulletins telling of
further nazi progress tended to
chill speculative sentimem to
some extent despite other re
ports the French were puttiv
up a stiff retreating battle and
even had bombed Berlin sub
urbs. Wall street was calm under
the new threat that Italy would
make the break on the side of
the Gernians early next week
but the possibility of more ad
verse happenings over the
week-end caused many traders
to lighten accounts or keep buy
ing , commitments at a mini
mum. On the other hand, domestic
business developments remained
a hopeful market factor al
though a pessimistic note was
sounded here and there by i

WHEAT PRICE OFF
Chicago, June 8. (P) The
wheat market today yielded
practically all the ground gain
ed yesterday as prices sagged
a cent a bushel due to selling
based on war news which
traders said appeared to be un
favorable to the allies good
weather and optimistic crop re
ports. Other grains sagged with
wheat, some oats and rye quot
ations returning to the mini

virtual cessation of activity in
these pits. Wheat was off as

but closed '4-1 cent lower than

Washington. June 8. lD
Despite a 2 to 1 house approval,
sweeping Wagner act amend
ments built around creation of
a new labor relations board were
said by informed senators to
day to be headed directly for a
senate committee pigeon-hole.
Appealing for senate action in
the face of an adjournment
drive, Rep. Smith (D-Va.), chair
man of the NLRB Investigating
committee which drafted the ori
ginal revisions, declared that
the house vote yesterday demon
strated the country's demand
for immediate amendments "as
an essential part of the defense
program."
"Don't fool yourself." said
Rep. Hook (D-Mich.), as house
debate ended, "this bill will nev
er be law."
Nevertheless. 118 democrats
and 142 republicans voted for
the Smith amendments: 13 re
publicans. 113 democrats and
three others against.
Chairman Norton, (D-N.J.) ofi
the house labor committee, pre
ferring less drastic amendments,
bitterly assailed President Wil
liam Green of the American
Federation of Labor for endors
ing the Smith proposals, with;
revisions which were made, af-:
tcr having said formerly that,
they would destroy the act.
