Attorney General Visits
By FRANK STRICKLAND
Cave Junction Attorney
General Robert Y. Thornton, his
wife and son, Tommy, were
guests Thursday night of Mayor
and Mrs. Elwood Hussey. 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. A trained St. Ber
nard dog show, live pony rides,
ladies' tug-of-war, archery range
and a side show with a five-legged
pig have been recently add
ed to the program.
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

The local team is scheduled to

today.
Foundation for the new Im
manuel Methodist church at
Cave Junction has been com

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. R. Myers, lead
er of the local home making
club.
A layer of black top recently
put on the road in this section
will be appreciated by those who
use this road, which has been
very rough for quite some time.
Alex Hamilton, with his broth
er, Robert, of Medford, were
brief callers here with relatives
Thursday. Alex had just flown
in from Chicago, where he serv
ed as a page during the Demo
cratic convention. He has been
a resident of Washington, D.C.,
for some time where he is a
student at George Washington
university and has some 18
months more to go.
The Donald Richardson family
left Saturday morning for their
home in Portland after several
weeks vacationing at the home
of Don's parents here.
An expensive thermos jug was
lost some time ago along the road
m this vicinity. It belongs to
Merlin Quackenbush of Beagle,
who will pay a reward for its
return.
Mr. and Mrs. "Kenny" Wvatt
of San Lorenzo. Calif., and young
