The attorney general was guest of honor at dinner party at Tode lope Cafe that evening where approximately 35 friends and ad mirers were present. Thornton, a reserve Army colonel, was en route to Camp Roberts, Calif., for two weeks active duty. i Rumors have it that a move ment is being launched by in fluential oldtimers at Cave Junc tion to propose an initative bal lot asking for a popular vote in the November general election to restore the town's original name, ''Cave City." It ii claim ed by proponents of the move that the town's first establish ed name should be restored. Twelve concession stands at the jubilee picnic grounds are under construction. According to builder, Phil Keller, 20 more are to be laid out in the big, shady, VFW park selected for the valley's Labor day annual celebration.

Summer travel on Highway 199 between Grants Pass and Crescent City, Calif., is on the increase. Eight hundred out-of-state cars in one day have been counted at Cave Junction, mid way point on the 85-mile vallcy-to-coast route. Many travelers stop here to see Oregon Caves. Some remain in the region long er than originally planned be cause, as one put it, "We love your trees and rivers." Some spend all their vacation time here. Fire insurance rates on most dwellings and certain types of business buildings in the Illi nois valley have been reduced as much as 25 per cent, accord ing to property owners. No spe cific reaasons are advanced for the lowering of premiums oth er than a recent increase in fire fighting personnel here and the purchase of some additional equipment. No major fires have occured in the valley so far this year. t Wild blackberries are ripe in this region and pickers, from 6 to 60 are seen along the rivers and other places where the sea sonal delicacy grows. Containers 'range in size from a tin cup to three gallon buckets for harvest ing "the big sweet ones." which are usually served with cream and sugar Cave Junction Outlaws, a member team of the Rogue Val ley League, won last Sunday's game with Butte Falls, 29 to 4.

Mabel Moore accompanied Mrs. Maurice Sedlack, Areata, Calif., and the Sedlack boys, Denny and Marc, when they went to Aberdeen, Wash., last week to bring Frances, the Sed lacks' daughter, home for the winter. They spent a few days in Aberdeen visiting Maurice's mother, Mrs. A. L. Sedlack, then went on to Seattle to see Mari lyn's mother, Mrs. E. L. Yock. Enjoying the trip with the Sed lacks was Denny's friend, Pat, from Eureka, on his first time away from home.

The girls, Ellen BUTTE FALLS Accident Victims Recoverinq TABLE ROCK Pear Harvesting Under Way By R. E. NEALON Table Rock The harvesting of pears has started here in the two large orchards. A skeleton crew began operation's at the Modoc Orchard Saturday, while the Hull Orchards began Mon day with a nearly full crew. It is expected that by next week the picking in both or chards will be in full swing with full crews. The quality of the fruit is said to be up to that of former years, and the tonnage may exceed previous years. With a big crop and good prices in prospect, local orchardists should enjoy a successful year. Several neighbors gathered Tuesday night at the Richardson home to watch the Democratic convention proceedings and to hear the address of Sen. Wayne Morse. They were surprised to see the ovation and tremendous applause given him from dele gates all over the nation, except those from the State of Georgia who disagreed with him on his civil rights stand. We note that a- local commen tator overlooked the Senator's dramatic reception, but did see a couple of women in the audi ence chewing gum " and others not paying too much attention In a recent conversation with Earl Weaver, manager of the Grange Coop, we were asked if we vould back up all the state ments made in our news stories. We told him many of them were quotes from others, and we did not necessarily guaran tee their authenticity. He said a recent item regard ing prices paid for grain by val ley dealers being under the gov ernment supports was not cor rect. We checked and found him to be correct. It seems that sup port prices vary according to dis tances from marketing centers, and that we are in one of the lowest areas. This controversy was started from reading a re corded report of the agricultural committee of the Sams Valley Grange where Earl is a member but like many other members seldom attends, and leaves the business of trying to better farm conditions to a faithful few. Friends here of the John Heberlings have received an nouncements of the arrival of John Gilbert Heberling, 7 pounds 12 ounces, Aug. 11 at their home in San Jose, Calif. During an interview with Mrs. Abe Halfhill, Table Rock lady from the south, we learned that she is well satisfied with the Democratic delegates' choice of their standard bearers. She has been for Stevenson right along and believes that since Kefauver is a southerner himself he will understand the problems of seg regation. She says those from other parts of the country who insist on telling the southerners what to do know nothing about the situation there. The solid south should go for this ticket, is her belief, as they cannot possibly better themselves with any other party. Charles Haas, who died recent ly from the effects of an auto mobile mishap, was at one time a resident of this community, having a large farm on the east side which is still owned and operated by the Haas family. Also the detah of Lemuel Hughes recently at Phoenix calls to mind that he with his mother and other members of the fam ily at one time resided in the house now occupied by the Elmo Stalling family. This farm then known as the Jennings place was leased by Mr. Hughes back about the turn of the century. Mrs. Dale Schulz of Sams Val ley was a visitor last Sunday at the local Sunday school. A demonstration last Tuesday, "on a good way to make a bed," put on by two 9-year-old first year 4-H club members, Arum Pierce and Aletta Myers, which won first prize, will be repeated on TV Monday at 2:15 p.m., ac cording to Mrs. F.
