Hussey, who established the town as "Cave City" in 1926, is one of the town's most en thusiastic boosters and has serv er three two-year tersm as its mayor. Mr. Banks, drafted op ponent for the non-paying of fice, came to Cave Junction ap proximately three years ago and established the Banks Automo tive Service. The mayoralty race is developing into a hot issue and it is said that three of the original "drafting" committee do not reside within the city limits. The town, now officially Cave Junction, was incorporated eight years ago. No rain of measurable quanti ty has fallen on this valley since last May yet the country is as fresh and green as of normal years.

Monroe Sweetland, Demo cratic candidate for secretary of state, told a luncheon gather ing at the Todelope Cafe last week that the governor's race in Oregon, this year, is as Im portant as that of the office of U. S. Senator. Sweetland said the election of a democratic gov ernor is necessary to make Oregon a two-party state. The candidate, who referred to him aelf as a publisher, said the office he seeks has been con trolled by Republicans for 78 years. The speaker said Sen. Wayne L. Morse will win and that State Senator Robert Holmes, the Democratic gubern atorial candidate is "making gains". He urged Illinois Valley Democrats to make a special ef fort In Holmes' behalf. . The speaker failed to mention his own candidacy as he dealt with the subject of voter registration in josepnine county. He ac cused the county clerk of "chis eling" when told the official refused to give more than two omple ballots to a represent tive of the Democrat Central committee. Sweetland said Re- publcians were "devoting more time and energy towards keep ing potential Democrats from registering than in promoting their own candidates . uibbon s auper Market, one mile south of Cave Junction on highway 199, has attached a large painted bulletin to their existing two-way neon sign. Ac cording to the new sign the market will be open between the hours of 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. According to reliable informa tion released on this season's big game hunting. 230,000 Oregon deer hunters purchased S8.000 worth of liquor for the opening day's hunt.

Harry G. Heathman of Cran nel. Calif., asked for an appeal last week following a court ci tation for driving "40 miles an hour through a 20-mile school zone"' at Cave Junction. Heath man was represented by Atty. Wm. M. Sloan of Grants Pass. The request for appeal to a hrii- er court was heard by municipal judge Paul Glines. Heathman, who posted $25 bail for the al leged traffic violation, claimed it isn't possible for an officer on the side lines to clock the exact rate of speed of a motor vehicle as it passes a fixed point. The arresting officer claimed he determined the speed of the Heathman car while following it to issue the citation. According to Judge Glines if the defendant wins his case in the county court his (Heathman's) posted bail will be refunded. Larry Cushing. City Attorney, represented the town in the appeal hearing.
