JACKSONVILLE
Move Planned for Library
By MRS. CARL S. HOSKINS
Jacksonville The Jackson
ville branch of the county li
brary, located in the historical
U. S. Hotel building on Main
st, in Jacksonville, which was
recently condemned for public
use, will be moved in the near
future.
The new site will be the old
Brunner building, built in 1855,
the oldest brick building in town
in which, it is related, the wom
en and children took refuge dur
ing the Modoc Indian wars
fought in this area.
At a recent council meeting
the building was deeded to the
city of Jacksonville in the name
of the two remaining Native
Daughters, Mrs. H. K. Hanna of
Jacksonville and her sister Mrs.
G. R. Chapman of Roseburg.
The library was established in
1921 by Mrs. Hanna, who ac
cording to the record book holds
the . first library card issued
there. When first established the
library was located in the room
in the U. S. Hotel now used by
the Jacksonville Garden club,
and later moved to the room in
the hotel it now occupies. Ac
cording to Ray Wilson, council
man and chairman of the project,
it is hoped to have the Brunner
building ready for use by May 1.
R. E. Welch and Jack Long will
do the work planned ' on the
building at this time, with fur
ther remodeling to be done as
funds permit. t
. Jacksonville's library has some
2,000 books of its own and the
townspeople have long enjoyed
its convenience and friendly at
mosphere. The picturesque Brun
ner building will, it is felt, be an
ideal site for the library's con
tinued successful public service.
According to Mrs. Fred Edens,
committee member of the Jack
sonville Band Booster's club,
their recent rummage sale was
a success, clearing $114. The
money will be used to complete
the band uniforms, which they
have been gradually working for.
Tnose in charge stated that the
response to their request for
rummage articles was gratifying
and they especially wish to
thank the Jacksonville Garden
club, which turned over to the
band boosters plants and other
rummage left over from their
own sale the previous day, and
to also express their gratitude
to all others who called and do
nated articles, which were large
ly responsible for the sale's suc
cess. Mrs. Walter Jenson of Medford
was a luncheon and afternoon
guest at the Fred Edens home
last Wednesday.
Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Lamb and
son Bobby, accompanied by Mrs.
Lamb's mother, Mrs. Anna Rum
ley, spent last week end in Cot
tage Grove, visiting at the home

. hostesses, Mrs. Ravenor and Mrs.

HORNBROOK
Ditch Gets Spring Cleaning
By MRS. H. H. CHAPMAN
Hornbrook The annual
spring cleaning has been started
on the main ditch of the Cotton
wood Irrigation and Mining Co.,
which supplies irrigating water
for the entire valley.
The work is being dene this
year by machinery instead of the
"pick and shovel" method that
has been used in the past. As a
result of the December floods,
the ditch was completely filled
in many spots, making it neces
sary to employ a "cat" fitted
with a blade to clean out the de
bris. The "cat" is manned by
Clarence Lockwood, and judg
ing from the work done to date,
the ditch will be in better shape
than ever before.
At a recent meeting of the
company, Frank Graves was
elected president for the ensuing
year, and Frank Bear, secretary
treasurer. Miss Dorothy Smith, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Smith, a
teacher in the Yreka Elementary
school, is spending Easter week
vacation visiting friends in San
Francisco. On Friday, she return
ed with her brother and his wife,
Dr. and Mrs. Edward M. Smith
and son from Orland. The Ed
ward Smiths will remain to
spend Easter with their parents.
Mrs. Anna Coppin returned
home this week from San Fran
cisco where she had been visit
ing her son since shortly before
Thanksgiving.
Eight cattle were killed the
morning of March 28 when they
were struck by a Southern Paci
fic train on the railroad trestle
over the Klamath river. The con
sensus of those reconstructing
the accident was that the herd
of ten cattle was bunched up on
the north end of the trestle when
the train hit them. Of the ten,
three were killed outright, five
had to be destroyed, one was
missing, having apparently been
tossed into the river, and one
survived without a scratch. The
sheriff's office from Yreka iden
tified the brands, and destroyed
the injured animals.
The cattle belonged to Bob
Stone of Hornbrook, who went
in and out of the cattle business
in a hurry, having bought the
animals only about two weeks
ago from Charles Brunk of Horn
brook. Stone donated five of the
destroyed animals to the county
jail in Yreka.
Released time classes for the
instruction of grammar school
children of the Catholic faith are
held each Wednesday at the
home of Mrs. Frank Bear on
Henley road. The smaller chil
dren come at 1:30 p.m. and the
older ones at 2:30. Father Cul
linan of St. Joseph's church in
Yreka is the instructor. Classes
are held the year around. Mass
is held at the Catholic church
in Hornbrook on the first Satur
day of each month at 9 a. m., and
on Easter and Christmas.
A minimum day of school was
held on Thursday March 29,
after which the first four grades
took part in an Easter egg hunt,
and four upper grades had an
Easter party. Refreshments were
managed by Mrs. Al Kutsky,
room mother for Mrs. Kate
Smith's room, and Mrs. Virginia
Bagley, room mother for Mrs.
Ruth Cummins' room. It was
necessary for school to be held
for three days of the usual week's make up time lost last winter
Easter vacation, in order to due to the flood.
