It was the status quo in the
Jackson County B Basketball
league today after the first, sec
ond and third place clubs posted
Tuesday night triumphs.
Unmarred Rogue River pol
. ished off Prospect easily 70 to
54. Talent, in second place, got
going late in the third quarter to
outdo Jacksonville 51 to 35 and
steamed up St. Mary's, No. 3
team, romped over Butte Falls
72 to 46.
Prospect ' made a good battle
of it for one quarter at Rogue
River, but the Chiefs were in
little trouble after that. Quarter
counts favored Rogue River 18
to 13, 39 to 22 and 54 to 35. Ted
Stanfield got 18 points and Gary
Johnson 14 for Rogue River and
Sid Peterson 13 for Prospect.

at Butte Falls and just kept
going. The Crusaders were hit
ting the hoop well. John Walch
and Tony Miksche dominated
the backboards and got 18 points
apiece for SM. D. R. Smith was
top man for Butte Falls with 16.
Talent found Jacksonville im
proved and with more scrap and
desire than in two previous meet
ings wun xne KeasKins. As late
as midway in the third quarter
Jacksonville had a three point
ieaa, . to 21. 1 The Bulldogs
failed to get a tally in, the first
four minutes of the third quarter
and were cold through the first
half.
At the end of the first quarter
neriOQ Harvpv Honnprc entornrl
the fray for the Redskins and
scored three straight buckets to
put his team one point on top.
However the Bulldogs , got back
in front 21 to 19 by half time.
Line-up Juggled
After lagging in the next stan-
xa Talent fought ahead 33 to 2
by the three-quarter mark. Line
up juggling seemed to perk up
-the Bulldogs as they got 18
counters in the last canto.
Talent Tnft 99 fny in
field and 11 for 24 from the
free line. The Bulldogs domi
nated the boards 45 to 33. Jim

Queen Victoria, a spectator,
asked the order of finish. "The
America is first, Madam," she
was told. "There is no second."
The America's Cup, for which
British and American yachtsmen
completed up to World War II,
was named after his yacht. The
only vessel to beat her was
Maria, another Stevens craft.
Railroad Survey
Steam railroads pre-occupied
Colonel Stevens for many years.
He made the nation's first rail
road survey for what later, be
came the beginnings of the pres
ent Pennsylvania -Railroad. . In
1826 he built the first locomo
tive to run on tracks in America.
Later, Edwin and Robert Stev
ens built the first railroad in
New. Jersey, the Camden &
Amboy, which today also is part
of the Pennsylvania system.
Robert Stevens invented the
railroad track as it is known
today, with its "T''-. rail, wooden
cross-ties and hook - headed
spikes to hold therri together.
He invented the so-called "cow
catcher." ' .
Colonel Stevens did much for,
New .York City. He engineered
its first water supply system and
worked but plans for .sewage
disposal. He made proposals con
sidered fantastic at the time.
Floating Hospitals Proposed
He proposed f ireboats and
floating hospitals for communi
cable - diseases, a tunnel under
the Hudson and a bridge over
it,, elevated- railways, 'unshak
able" ships, a system of aque
ducts, to replace ;: wells y and
springs, a ' detailed plan for
street cleaning and an offshore
gun battery to defend New York
Harbor. ..' '
Edwin Stevens founded the
Institute, the first college in
the nation to grant the degree of
mechanical engineer.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NDSE
Hoboken, N. J. (U.R) On a
bluff high above the Hudson
river stands majestic Castle
Stevens, a 100-year-old , land
mark that once served as work
shop for an entire family of in
ventive geniuses.
The two-story, 30-room man
sion, now part of the Stevens
Institute of Technology, once
was the home of Col. John Stev
ens and three of his sons, Robert
John and Edwin. Together they
influenced a "century of Ameri
can progress in transportation,
engineering and invention. '
The imposing gray structure,
with its square tower once sur
mounted by a captain's walk,
was built by Robert Livingston
Stevens in 1854 to replace Stev
ens Villa. The villa had been
built by Robert's father,' Col.
John Stevens, treasurer of New
Jersey during the American
Revolution.
The : land on which the two
mansions were built is known
as Castle Point, which is part
of the . island estate Colonel Stev
ens bought from the government
after the war. The present city
of Hoboken, which later came
to occupy most of. the island,
was named by Stevens after an
Indian legend.
Transport Firsts
From Castle Point, Stevens
and his three inventor-sons de
veloped a number of "firsts" in
steam and rail transportation.
Working together, father and
sons designed, built and op
erated the" first wholly American-built,
steamboat of commer
cial importance. The design was
begun in 1806, a full year before
Fulton's Clermont, powered by
an English Watt engine, made
its debut on the Hudson.
. The Stevens boat, Phoenix,
later became the first steamship
to sail the ocean in 1809. The
voyage, resulted from the vessel
being forced off the Hudson
when Fulton received an exclu
sive charter to. . operate there. ' ;
In -.1804," the Stevens family
had sailed, the first steam-driven
boat to be propelled by. twin
screws, instead of paddle wheels.
Twin, screws are now. generally
used by ' all sizeable vessels.
Equipped .With Boiler .
The boat." Juliana, also was
equipped with a multitubular
boiler developed by the Stev
ens family. Today, the boiler is
used widely on steamships and
railroads.:
Early in the 19th century,
Colonel Stevens and Edwin ex
perimented with armor - clad
warships and armor - piercing
projectiles. They designed the
first ironclad warship in 1841.
Later, they built . Naugatuck, fa
semi-submersible ironclad that
fought the Confederate Merri
mac during the Civil War.
A later Stevens family con
tribution was the double-ended
ferry boat that doesn't have to
be turned, around. These are a
familiar sight today on the Hud
son and other waterways.
John Stevens devoted much
of his time to building fast sail
ing vessels. He operated Ameri
ca, fastest ship of its class in a
race against 15 British ships.
The race wasn't even close.
Too Much of Pacific
Said Held by Military
Washington (U.R) Chair
man Clair Engle of the House
Interior committee said today
the military has too much terri
tory, in the Pacific and "ought
to be kicked off some f it."
The California Democrat made
the observation at hearings on
the statehood for Hawaii bill
when Rep. A. L. Miller (R-Neb.)
suggested an amendment, per
mitting the President to "take
over any part , of the territory
for military purposes." Miller
said the authority : might be
needed in the "defense of the
Pacific."
Rep. John P. Saylor, (R-Pa.),
a leading advocate of Hawaiian
statehood, said the President al
ready has such power and the
proposed amendment is unnec
essary. Anyway, - he said, the
Defense department has not re
quested that authority.
.The Golden Plover is one of
the most outstanding of all mi
grating birds. It nests on the
Alaskan tundra in summertime,
and with the approach of cold
weather, makes a nonstop flight
of 2,400 miles to Hawaii. In late
spring it returns to Alaska.

Browning Introduces Double Automatic
Shotgun After 8 Years of Experiments
Ogden,.U t a h (U.R) The
Brownings came out today with
a new '"double automatic", shot
gun,' the result of eight years
of experiment and research and
the latest .triumph; for a family
famous for -: gun-making rf 6 u r
generations. . ' ,. , "
The name of Browning; has
been a byword in American gun
design since before the civil war.
It is also a familiar name in
Ogden, where the Brownings
have made their home since
1851 ' and where many of. the
famous guns bearing their-name
were? invented. - . . .. ,-
MAY" BE SLEEPER ;
Detroit U.R) Coach Buddy
Parker said today" Duncan . Mc
Donald, who couldn't win; the
regular quarterback job at Michigan,-
might be the top "sleeper"
acquired.fcy the. Detroit Lions in
last week's National Football
league "player draft at New York.
Parker waited until the 26th
round of the draft to claim Mc
Donald, which would indicate
that interest was tacking in the
passing perfectionist from Flint,
Mich. Such was not the case
with the Lions.
. An ultra-modern workshop on
a downtown Ogden street is the
current headquarters of : the
Browning gunsmiths and a far
cry from the Kentucky moun
tain . cabin where Jonathan
Browning started the family
trade in 1831.
Jonathan, who later perfected
a lever action gun that was the
basis for the famous Winchester,
moved to Ogden in 1851. His
son, John Moses Browning, wa3
born in an adobe house here in
1855.
Greatest Gunsmith
John Moses in his lifetime im
proved the lever action rifle,
invented the automatic -pistol,
designed the first practical ma
chine gun and patented the mod
ern repeating rifle.
Most of his 129 firearms pat
ents were turned over to manu
facturers such as Colt, Winches
ter and Remington for-actual
production. When ; he died in
1924 he had been described as
"the greatest gun wizard of the
modern age" and his mantle fell
on his son Val.
Val Browning now heads the
Browning enterprises and al
ready his two sons, John Val,
30, and Bruce, 27, are knee-deep
in the gun business. " -
In an interview at the Brown
ing 'officesV Val Browning said
the n e w "double automatic"
shotgun has taken eight years
to perfect. It employs an entire
ly: different basic design than
his father's famous Browning
automatic, and features fewer
parts that move shorter dis
tances. The new gun, which is being
manufactured in Belgium, har
nesses the recoil with speed that
permits rapid firing of any
weight of 12 gauge, shell. Be
cause migratory bird hunting
regulations limit the number of
shells an automatic in a hunter's
hands can fire, the first produc
tion model holds only two, but
models . with greater capacity
are being designed. . -
Browning said the gun also
employs new alloys that make
it weigh a full pound less than
his father's widely used shotgun
and considerably less than the
Browning "super-posed" shotgun
that had ,two barrels, one on
top of the other.
