PAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MATT; TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, MONDAY, AUGUST 12, 1940. MAE WEST DENIES;! U-0 Coaches Here Tuesday 1H CLUB PICNIC HEART INTEREST Actress Irked by Suit Against Business Manager by Alleged Former Husband Hollywood, Aug. 12 (U.R) Mae West said today with an ngry glint In her eyes that James Timony, her escort at film colony affairs, "has been my business manager and noth ing else." Frank Wallace, a vaudeville actor who claims to be her hus band, sued Timony for $105,000. Timony, he charged, persuaded Miss West to leave him and live as his (Timony's) common-law- wife. Miss West was not sued, but she had plenty to say: "I was very interested in see ing the picture in the paper of Wallace and his business aides who turned out to be a dog, a dancing partner, a lawyer and a manager. It was good shot of the dog. Denies Knowing Him According to Wallace, he and Miss West were married at Mil waukee in 1911. She had been regarded as a spinster in Holly wood until three years ago when the marriage records were acci dentally discovered. Wallace went to court and had himself declared her legal husband. Miss West denied "ever knowing the guy." To Wallace's charges that Timony took Miss West away from him and advised her to deny the marriage, she replied: "As far as Jim Timony is con cerned, suing him is silly, as he has been my business manager nd nothing else. I'm a bit tired, however, of being a springboard for this person Wallace 1 wish he'd find new angle."

Names Remain on Cave Walls After Fifty Years By Maude Poole (Mail Tribune Special Writer) Over half a century ago some names were innocently written on the little-known walls of Oregon Caves, and today these names several of the bearers have become prominent Oregon residents are visible through a thin coating of lime stone, it was related by Miles Cantrall, well known resident of the county, who lives on the Applcgate. In 1888 Mr. Cantrall, then a student of University of Oregon, accompanied by his fellow stu dents, K. K. Kubli, John La mar, George and Fletcher Linn, and an additional friend, Gus Newbury, drove a team to the road's end on Williams creek and used pack horses for the remaining 10 miles to the caves. Exploring the caves at that early date was somewhat of a Job, Mr. Cantrall recalled. There were no guides, each man car ried a candle, and old wooden ladders connecting the many floors and chambers of the cav ern were the only improvement at that time. "We did a lot of investigat ing," Mr. Cantrall remarked. "We went in at 8:00 o'clock in the morning and came out at 2:00 In the afternoon. It was in the Niagara Falls room that we wrote our names. During our stay in that region we went several miles above the caves and camped for two or three days. We fished In Sucker creek and had venison. On our way home the horses got scared and dumped the pack, scattering all of our supplies." This youthful adventure was recalled to mind with partic ular emphasis when Mr. Cant rall read a recent Mail Tri bune story concerning the visit of a Medford resident to the caves before the days of mod ern improvements. It was when Mr. Cantrall visited the caves late Inst month that he discov ered the inscriptions, the story of which created much interest among the caves personnel. He enjoyed visiting with Dick Row ley, veteran guide, who has been at his post for 31 years. Mr. Cantrall remarked that some of the underground char acteristics which he remembers from that first visit are not feat ured today, including a bot tnmlcss pit, and a "hog's back." He recalled with humor an early-day visit to the caves of the Maiamns, Portland moun tain climbing club, and the serv ices of the neighboring ranch ers as guides, one of whom was the lute Ira Sparlin of Williams creek. When asked whether he pre ferred Oregon's scenic beauties in their natural setting or with their present up-to-date touches, Mr. Cantrall replied that im provements are necessary. He commended the courtesy of the guides today. "It seems to me that the for mations in the caves are darker than before," he commented. "I think it is wonderful to know of nature's stone formations of flowers, roots and faces. I guess that is one of the mysteries of nature." JOHN APPLEGATE OFF TUESDAY ON ADVENTURE TRIP John Applegate will leave here Tuesday on the first leg of an adventurous trip that might take him on a world cruise in a sailing vessel. He is a well known Medford youth, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank L. Apple gate of 615 South Oakdale ave nue. In the car he has fitted out with sleeping and cooking ac commodntions John will travel first to Salt Lake City and from there to Sioux City, Iowa. He will be accompanied to Sioux City by his mother who will re turn to Medford by train after visiting relatives. From Sioux City, Applegate will proceed to Peoria, 111., where he will visit John Schcrer, former Medford resident. Then the adventurer will continue to New York and thence along the coast to Nova Scotia. While Applegate will seek employ ment, one of the main objectives AT M'KEE BRIDGE ENJOYED BY 125 A day of play and freedom with fried chicken and ice cream and unhampered with program or schedule was the pleasure of 73 4 H club youngsters from all sections of Jackson county who assembled at McKee Bridge forest park Thursday for their annual picnic. Fifteen commu nities were represented. The picnicers included leaders, members, and their families, the entire group totaling 125. R. G. Fowler, county agent, and L. C. Port, Applegate district ranger, arrived during the noon hour. Games and swimming consti tuted the day's recreation. Two youngsters sought parental per mission to go fishing. Frank Scott of Ashland, Red Cross life guard, kept watch over the young swimmers, and was re quired only once to assist two youngsters out of difficulty. Mr. acott gave a life saving demon stration, instructing in the use of the ring and can buoys, as well as in methods of rescue without equipment. Mothers served the picnic lunch, cafeteria fashion, from the community kitchen "on the grounds, and hardly had served the last line of youngsters their main course before eager young hands were back raiding the tempting desserts without cere mony. The picnic committee, select ed from the county leaders' as sociation, included Mrs. Lee Port of Applegate, chairman, Mr. and Mrs. G. E. Oustcrhotit of Eagle Point, and Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Lewis of Fern Valley. L. E. Francis, county leader, ex pressed satisfaction with the splendid representation at the picnic, held each year to afford everyone a good time and an opportunity to become betttr ac quainted. In fact, the day was co entirely delightful that many left their belongings on the giounds, and the varied collec tion will h found at the cwnty lender's office in Medford.
