MARSHALL I and family, who lived in a house Savage Creek-Rogue River A dead tree snag fell across Savage Creek road near the Take It Easy lodge Sunday after noon, knocking a transformer off a pole, and cutting off the electric power for the whole area. It also deadened the tele phone system for that area. Traffic had to be routed around the downed tree and wires until the electric company got on the job. It was fixed so that power was on again in about an hour but the phones remained dead Sunday. This ac cident followed a strong wind which blew in heavy gusts. Jim Aiken, brother-in-law of W. E. Smiley of Smiley's Super ette market, recently left for Elko, Nev., with his horse in a truck. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Scritch- field and .family, of Trailerland on the Rogue, have moved into the lower flat of Mrs. Ellen Williams on the corner of Pine and First sts. They purchased Trailerland oh the Rogue late last year, just in time to be flooded out by December's high water. Water rose two feet above the rafters in their house. They had come here from Venice, Calif. When they saw the water lapping against the back of the house during the week-end -high water they figured it was time to leave. The previous flood tore a glassed-in sun porch off the house. They got their belong ings out in time to save them. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Thatcher trailer at Trailerland on . the Rogue at the Junction of 99 High way, have moved the trailer to the property of Mrs. Ellen Wil liams, Rogue River. The house trailer and another trailer have both been moved to the same lo cation. They all feel safer on higher ground away from the river. Martin "Pete" Gee lives in the other trailer. The river rose during the most recent high water until it was lapping against the highway at what is left of Chuck and Mon ty's and at Rogue View inn, and was up to the back door of the Lester Savage home. They have been clearing up the damage left by former flood. Gail's Market at the Junction on 99 Highway is being reno vated and remodeled. Bob Gail says that they'll be open for business again around the end of next week. Amusing sight from the high way ' was a sign which used to be on the Highway prior to De cember's flood. This was stuck up in the yard of a house near the highway just north of Rogue River Junction. It reads: "Rogue River Junction Ahead."

George Sloan is apparently one employee of the U. S. Postal System . who makes of their motto more than just a pretty slogan. The motto is "Neither snow nor rain nor heat, nor gloom of night, stay the couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds." - The heavy rain over the week end brought the Klamath river up several feet again, and for the second time in three, weeks, it raged through the land on which previously Camp Lowe P' t,'''e0t ''". - gSP&r" ' ', I always depend on z ) PM- CLOROXfoawJfc 1 M safer wash' WSf If " i t .

Grange News Shady Cove Grange Master Cecil Kee called the Jan. 11 meeting at 8 p.m. with 20 members present. Agriculture Chairman Marie Larson's report was outstanding. Topic was pruning and planting of shrubs and flowers for the coming summer. The English laurel, owing to its tremendous growth, should be pruned very severely. Hedges such as haw thorne, pivet hedges, etc., should be pruned now and old growth and suckers should be removed from the lilac, also climbing roses, leaving the bush roses un til later. Annual flowers should be planted now. Heather and all shrubs should be put out. Bone meal is a good food for African violet and helps greatly to pro duce blooms. All dead leaves should be removed from the flower beds and loose sand sub stituted to keep young plants from molding. Mrs. Larson also gave a talk on the common zu cchini squash, and showed a sample of pickle made similarly to bread and butter cucumber pickles. Zucchini pickles 'are used in cases where cucumber pickles cannot be eaten, and are excellent.
