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 will leave

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.

high school and University of

County Horticulturist Cordy
