Estes Kefauver said Saturday
night his chances of capturing
Minnesota's 30 Democratic Na
tional convention votes "are get
ting better and better."
The Tennessee Democrat dis
played rising confidence in his
barnstorming campaign of the
state as he commented for the
first time about what he plans
to win in next Tuesdays' pri
mary election.
0"We'll win several districts
O next Tuesday and after the elec

look in this campaign," he told

er was in a car carrying him
away from the airport and Stev

airport where he boarded a
chartered plane back to Chicago.
Stevenson wound up his Min
nesota tour with a charge that
the "Republican agriculture pro
grSm threatens to drive the
farmer to the wall everywhere
in the country."
Stevenson said that "not only
have the Republicans failed to
do anything about the farm
proolem, but they are not even
telling the truth about what
they are doing."

Moorhead residents for about 20
minutes as he strolled down the
main street and then addressed
an overflow crowd of about 1000
persons in the American Legion

He was scheduled to wind up
his campaigning for the day
with a 30-minute television ap
pearance on a Fargo, N.D., sta
tion. He will resume his cam

"Where TV is a BUSINESS - Not a SIDELINE"
Pickin Pears
By Sid Hollingsworth
Los Angeles The old saying
about the inability to see the
forest for the trees applies in a
timely way to the situation in
Southern Oregon and the entire
state for that matter with respect
to mining especially the devel
opment of such valuable ores as
uranium.
One of the Home members in
L. A. called attention to a gov
ernment map showing the loca
tion of uranium deposits in the
U. S. Western Oregon is without
a developed uranium claim.
This is surprising because of
the prevalence at one time or
another of other ores, including

Gold Hill Juvenile Grange
In conjunction with the subor
dinate Grange lecturer's pro
gram, the Gold Hill Juvenile
Grange met March 15, with mas
ter Terry Turney presiding, and
in presence of the subordinate
Grange. The purpose was to
honor charter members of the
Gold Hill subordinate grange on
their charter anniversary night.
Presentation of the flag was by
Assistant Stewards and Ceres,
followed by the juvenile seating
drill of all officers and members
present.
, Charter members were con
ducted to the masters station.
They were Brother and Sister
S. M. Christensen, Sisters Wil
bur Martin, Carrie Puhl arid
Brother Earl Kroft. The worthy
master presented each a special
anniversary card signed by all
juvenile members present.
Gold Hill Grange
The Gold Hill Grange met
March 15, celebrating charter
night. The grange was opened
by the Juveniles who put on
their seating drill and then pre
sented the subordinate charter
members to their masters sta
tion, to receive anniversary
cards signed . by all juvenile
members.
The Grange is very proud of
the juveniles.
The lecture hour was put on
by Icie Walker, celebrating the
charter member's anniversary.
It was voted by the Grange to
erect a float in the Pear Blos
som festival. A committee was
appointed to take care of this
entry.
There were several commu
nity projects brought up before
the Grange, which will be an
nounced later.
Bob Cook presented beautiful
gavels which he had made, to
the master and overseer.
The Grange closed with the
retiring drill, after which a huge
anniversary cake was served by
Mrs. A.A. Walker.
The next serving committee
will be Mrs. Waite, Eskew and

paradise.
Thriving Business
Any prospector visiting the
mountainous regions of Oregon
is certainly justified in believing
"there is uranium in those hills."
In fact, the Geiger counter busi
ness was thriving in Medford be
fore the writer left last fall.
It is possible that the hes
itancy to go into the business
oi locating uranium deposits is
due to the extent of federal hold
ings of forest and mining lands
in Oregon, and the reluctance of
large interests to invest because
of the difficulties involved in
proving claims.
There is another reason appar
ent in the fact that uranium, unlike-
gold, silver, copper and
lead, is not found in larg deposits
anywhere. The ore is scattered in
small outcroppings close to the
surface and not in veins or pock
ets large enough to work.
Be this as it may, there is one
thing certain from this vantage
point. Oregon rocks have a fasci
nation outside the state that,
with promotion, could become
another asset, minor to mineral
development, but major .as an
advertising feature. -
Here in Southern California,
the picture agates and moss
agates, the unique jaspers and
distinctive stones like Medfordite
and Rogueite, the pseudomorph
series and transparencies, are a
delight to all gem lovers, and
this includes a great many
women.
Aside from the widespread in
terest as a hobby, rock collect
ing is confined to the compara
tively few enthusiasts who are
naturalists more than salesmen
or promoters. .
Perhaps the Chamber of Com
merce can take up this sugges
tion in any new approaches being
considered to further interest in
community resources and proj
ects. 18 Timber Tracts Sold
