SAVAGE CREEK-ROGUE RIVER
Tree Snag Puts Power Out
By CHRISTINA H. 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." '

He came to Hornbrcok in 1906
and owned and operated a

tired -in W40 to the ranch on
which he lived out his remain
ing years. On Nov. 28, 1912, he

Quigley, Mrs. Lester Nye, Mrs.
Frank Graves and Mrs. Frank
Ohlund, both of Hilt; Mrs. Laura
Swinnerton, also a guest player,
Mrs. Will Rogers, sister of Mrs.
Bradley and the hostess. :
In spite of the fact that the
Copco road was again closed on
Sunday by high water at the
Protsman place, and also at the
Iron Gate, and by five slides on
both sides of the Jennie Creek
bridge, on Monday morning the
mail went through as Usual,
thanks to the regular driver,
George Sloan, who went as far
as possible in his jeep, then
packed the mail on his back,
making the rest of the trip on
foot. 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

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.
Ed Housten reported the na
tional forest has suffered a se
vere loss from washed away
bridges and top soil, as well as
the personal damage and loss
along the Rogue river in the re
cent floods.
