Table Rock
laDie Kock G. B. Bowman
of Medford, lessee of the Tou-
veue ranch will use the farm
to grow hay and pasture for his
beef and stock cattle, so there
will be no more pasture to rent
to other stockmen. The field on
the south side of the river near
the military bridge that has been
idle since it was taken over by
thj army is now being plowed
up for seeding of crops.
A letter from County Judge
Rodney Keating to Ralph James,
master of the Sams Valley
Grange, in reply to a resolution
recently sent to the county court
pertaining to the surfacing of
the road known as the Tresham
lane, was read at last Tuesday's
Grange meeting. The letter stat
ed that this work has been ap
proved and put on the agenda.
Pheasants, which it is claimed
were turned loose last fall in
the Camp White and Agate dis
tricts by the game commission. I
are pulling up quantities of new
ly sprouted grain in tjs section
and causing many complaints
from farmers, who in some cases
threaten to put' salt on the of
fenders tails delivered from the
muzzle of a shotgun.
The Sunday school conference
held at Table Rock schoolhouse
Saturday, March 19, was attend
ed by members of some half
dozen valley union Sunday
schools, with about seventy peo
ple in attendance, including four
ministers, Arthur Kelstrup of
Koseburg. Sunday school mis
sionary, for this district; D. D
Randall retired missionary of
Medford; John Stille of Shady
Cove, and E. J. Clark retired
Presbyterian minister now su
perintendent of Shady Cove Sun
day school. Time allotments of
fifteen . to twenty minutes was
given to the different schools
for their part in the program
Talks on the different versions
of the Bible were given by Les
ter Wilcox and D. D. Randall
of Medford, and E. J. Clark of
Shady Cove described in detail
the structure and purpose of the
Tabernacle of Bible times. John
Stille talked on the evolution,
races and cults, and the impor
tance of getting the children to
go to Sunday school. There were
songs, readings and exercises by
members of different Sunday
schools, and a recital by memory
of the 103rd Psalm by Mrs. Mil
ford Vanderpool of the local S.S.
Potluck dinner was served dur
ing the noon hour.
Someone, sometime, said: "My
kingdom for a horse," but it
seems that at the present time
young folks around here who
have riding horses would just
about give their kingdom for
some place to pasture their
steeds. Those who have pastures
also have cattle or other stock,
so no room for horses. One young
lady, after trying for weeks to
find a place to keep her horse,
located a pasture in the Sams
Valley district some six miles
distant.
Old pinky, our roaming torn
cat is still able to handle the
biggest gophers, despite the fact
that he lost part of a hind foot
in an encounter with a mower
sickle last summer and his right
eye during the pheasant season
The other morning he brought
in a grandaddy gopher that
measured twelve, inches from tip
to tip, the way Kerby Tant meas
ures a cougar.
Alex Hamilton of Medford
was here Wednesday bidding
relatives good-bye before his de
parture Thursday for. Washing
ton, D. C, where he will operate
elevators in the Senate building
thirty hours a week and attend
the George Washington Univer
sity. Alex has the advantage of
being personally acquainted with
several people living in the cap
ital who formerly resided here,
and also Oregon's two Senators
Morse and Neuberger and Con
gresswoman Edith Green. When
asked if his job would come
under the '"Hatch act," he re
plied that he didn't know but
thought it might be wise to keep
his eyes open, and his mouth
shut.
The busy Darlings. John and
Mary, operators of the Darling
diversified farm near Bybee
bridge, have arranged their fur
niture so they can watch tele
vision from their beds, so now
when a long commercial comes
on they can take a nap 'til the
picture returns and then resume
watching, providing they do not
oversleep.
The rains of the last lew days
have completely changed the
complexion of the earth's sur
face in these parts. Grass is
showing a brighter green color,
crops are springing up, and the
long overdue moisture is proving
highly beneficial to lawns, gar
dens, and all vegetation. Irriga
tion reservoirs in the Sams Val
ley district are getting some run
off, but much of the precipita
tion is being soaked up by the
dry soil.
Recent visitors here were the
Doug Robinson familyx of Fair
field, Calif., and Mr. and Mrs.
Claude Ray of Medford, who
visited relatives at the Ed Rob
inson home.
O. T. Wilson of Central Point
stopped in the other morning
to tell us of his recently becom
ing a great-grandfather, a baby
girl being born March 27, to
Mr. and Mrs. Larry Wilson,
Trail, Oregon. -

News and Notes
From Camp White
By SID HOLLINGSWORTH
If art can be called the me
dium for the graphic expression
of the individual viewpoint, the
work of the six Camp White
artists now on display at the
Art Center in Medford can be
considered fully representative.
Each of the 16 paintings can
be identified as the work of the
artist himself. Winfred Welch,
now a member of the SOSA, has
achieved a distinctive atmos
phere in his desert scenes, and
George Jennings, with a study
of an Oregon landscape aone in
class, has caught the feeling of
the woods and streams with his
bold and rugged brush strokes.
Augustine Arnold has yet an
other treatment to offer in his
from his school duties at Klam
ath Falls.
Bob Sage, after making a min
ute inspection of his garden re
ports that some of the vegetables
he planted are now up, as also
are tne weeds mat ne mam
plant.
Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Mack,
teachers in Sams Valley school
were brief visitors here Sunday.
Mrs. J. S. Richardson arrived
by plane from Portland Sunday
accomptnied by her granddaugh
ter Debra Mae, youngest of the
Donald Richardson flock, who
will spend a few weeks here
with her grandparents.
In a litie cabin in the west
end of the community. Dr. Lem
ley of Medford, delivered on
March 12, Gary Charles Robin
son, an eight lb., 4 ounce boy,
to Mr. and Mrs. V. C. Robinson.
The home birth, while in accord
with Dr. Brady's ideas was prob
ably not brought about for that
reason, but rather by necessity
as the couple has two other small
children and the father has had
only a few days work since dis
charged by the doctor on Jan.' 1
as a disability case.
Table . Rock Community club
met March 25 with a fair rep
resentation .of the community
present. After a short business
meeting the following program
was given: Trumpet solo, Joe
Stallings; piano solo, Mrs. Elmo
Stallings: educational pictures
showing American transporta
tion from horseback to jet plane,
shown by Ray Bosworth, follow
ed up with dates, historical de
scriptions, and settings by Mrs.
Bosworth.
E. C. Hamilton, who has been
measuring out the precious drops
of Rogue River irrigatic i water
to the patrons of the Table Rock
Improvement company, (ditch
company) since the year of 1922
has announced his retirement
as of April 1. Mr. Hamilton took
over this work while living in
the Agate district and at that
time work of the ditch manager
had not been too harmonious,
in some cases the man in person
being ordered off the premises
of some of the users who resent
ed the adjustments and allot
ments of water. E. C, after tak
ing charge soon soothed the
tempers and kept them on an
even keel during his long tenure
of service, which he performed
sometimes on foot other times
on horseback but mostly with
a car, keeping water on tap for
the thirsty crops and winning
the confidence and respect of
his neighbors. We feel sure we
are joined by all others .who
have been interested in local ir
rigation affairs that the manner
in which this rather tedious
work has been carried on over
the long stretch is commend
able. Everett L. Brown, local
dairyman and bus driver took
over the ditch job April 1.
burner and Ives rural scene,
and others in which he uses
vivid colors and sharp lines
H. L. Williams, Eugene Roeder
and Dan Dyer offer examples
in specialization.
Both Roeder and Dyer are au
thorities on ships, the former
having sailed before the mast
since the tender age of 15, the
latter being an expert with
models of 17th century sailing
vessels, with their distinctive
lines, masts and sails. His paint
ing is a large canvas showing
Eeachy Head of the Seven Sis
ters off the coast of Sussex in
England. Roeder has done one
of an American clipper ship as
his initial offering.
Williams submitted his im
pression of the Oregon coast as
his original contribution.
Mrs. J. Love, Mrs. M. Scho
enberg, and Mrs. Effie White
also submitted examples of their
work.
The Nursing Service has been
assigned the quarters imme
diately above the infirmary,
where the office of Miss Grace
Sluhr, chief nurse, is now lo
cated. A classroom for instruc
tion and a library complete the
suite. In addition to the regular
monthly, meeting of the nurses
and aides, classes for memoer at
tendants are held. The first
course of the current "term"
has just started with 14 attend
ants enrolled.
The event of the year for the
nurses was the announcement of
the arrival of a 7-pound boy in
the household of Mr. and Mrs.
Donald Day. March 22 is the day
and Sacred Heart hospital the
place. Jeffry Armstrong is the
name. Mrs. Day is one of the
Infirmary nurses here.
Tommy Thompson was some
what low in spirits last week
until he noted the tribute paid
him by the Oregonian editor in
publishing his poem about the
Young Oregonians, who appear
ed at Camp White. Whether it
is used or not, Tommy always
writes a poem about any vis
itors who entertain at the sta
tion. In this instance, he did not
expect it to be published at all.
Virgil Baker, who has knock
ed around tne XMortnwest for a
a considerable time, has gone
back home to Minneapolis,
where he will . live with .' his
daughter, and put in his time
puttering around. Virgil is some
thing of a jack of all trades, and
a master of most of them. He was
one of the charter members of
the Camp White Rock club.
Bud Ash, of Special Services,
who has started things hum
ming in the arts and crafts work
shop, is taking a well earned va
cation from his labors. He will
be back in time to handle ar
rangements for the Hobby Fair
to be held Sunday April 17. "
The Fishing club, at their last
meeting, went into a huddle
over the question of how to
spend about $50 on new equip
ment. The Camp White anglers
made a thorough review of the
merits of flies, lines, reels and
poles before deciding to put
their money on reels and lines.
There are some expert fisher
men m tne group, and their I
ideas on what to use in catching
fish in Southern Oregon waters,
were educational as well as en
