MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, MONDAY, JANUARY 12, 1942.
All Production Being In
creased on Rogue Prop
erty of Film Star, Mother.
One way in which tanners of
this vicinity are especially
equipped to aid in the war effort
li through the production of additional-
crops, believes Mrs.
Lela Rogers, who with her
daughter, the glamorous Ginger
Rogers, of the films, recently
acquired nearly a thousand
acres of land on Rogue river, 17
miles north of Medford.
Mrs. Rogers revealed last
week she is planning to make
her property carry its share of
the war load during the coming
growing season. Over twenty
acres will be devoted to veget
ables, such as onions, which fur
nish the main and substantial
ingredients of soldier fare. Orig
inally planning a milking herd
of about 35 purebred Guernseys,
she Is now seeking sufficient
stock to swell this figure to
around sixty. The Aberdeen
Angus beef cattle herd on the
Rogers ranch will also be great
ly increased.
Ten Men at Work
The place now has 100 acres
of alfalfa and considerable hay
land. In addition to these pro
ducts, wheat and corn will be
raised and about sixty acres of
additional land will be brought
under cultivation through clear
ing work now going on. About
ten men have been employed
through the winter and It is
expected this number will be In
creased as the weather permits.
Mrs. Rogers said machinery
has been purchased and is on
hand for approximately 3000
feet of refrigeration, 1308 feet
of this to be for sharp freezing
and the balance for storage pur
poses. Revealing the thoroughness
with which the ranch plans have
been made, there will be pro
vision for an auxiliary steam
plant to run the refrigeration
compressors in case of failure of
electric power service.
Egg production will be step
ped up along with all other
phases, Mrs. Rogers pointing out
that eggs and milk will be espe
cially needed when the canton
ment here is filled with soldiers,
as these articles would have to
be hauled in from considerable
distance unless the immediate
area is able to supply large
portion of the demand.

PRIMITIVE DAYS
RETURN AS S. P.
CUTS. 2 TRAINS
When the Southern Pacific
company took off Its only two
remaining trains connecting the
Rogue river valley and Califor
nia today, southern Oregon re
verted to cowboy and Indian
days so far as mall deliveries
are concerned.
The other day when Southern
Pacific representatives glibly
told of trucks being substituted
for the trains to handle mail,
the situation was made to sound
fairly good. Analysis of the
orders received at Medford post
office, however, reveal how
primitive the delivery of mail
will actually be.
As explained by Hugo Guen
ther, superintendent of mails,
the set-up after abandonment of
the trains is this:
The southbound truck, sched
uled to leave Grants Pass at
4:30 p. m., will carry in a pouch
all mail destined for points
south of Ashland. The sealed
pouch will be taken all the
way to Dunsmulr, Cal., where
it will be delivered to south
bound train No. 19. When the
two trains meet. No 19 will
hand over the pouch to north
hound train No. 20 on which
the mail will be "worked" or
sorted. The sorted mail will
then be carried back to Duns
mulr where it will be turned
over the next day to the north
bound truck, scheduled to leave
Dunsmuir at 7:30 a. m. The
sorted mail, which left here the
previous day, will then be de
livered by the truck at the
intermediate points along the
line between Dunsmuir and Ash
land to which it is addressed.
It was understood there would
be no additional charge for the
merry-go-round ride.
Lost to Medford and vicinity
entirely will be the pouch now
made up for Grants Pass and
rural routes out of Grants Pass
and carried by the northbound
11:23 a. m. train which Is to be
discontinued. The northbound
truck will not pick up mail
here for Grants Pass and way
points. A star route car leaving
here at 8:30 a. m. carries mail
from Medford to Grants Pass
and Intermediate points and
after the train is dropped this
will be the only mail service of
its kind remaining. The north
bound evening train which starts
at Ashland will of course con
tinue to carry mail, there being
no direct pouch for Grants Pass,
however, the mail being sorted
by a railway clerk.
Postal authorities, it was Indi
cated at the postoff ice, are study
ing the situation with the
thought in mind of improving
the mail service to some extent.

"Because these books are to be
a part of a well-organized, stand

reserve the right to discard ma
terial that is found to be unde
sirable," a statement from the li
brary said.
Troops stationed in Oregon

collected. The surplus will go
to land and sea forces elsewhere.

men in the service.
