"Neither my wife or I were
stamp collectors, but we happen
ed to be standing in front of the
Exposition post office while a
couple of collectors were talking
shop. Certainly they were en
thusiasts, if not actually collec
tors. "One of them said that if he
were a young man again, he
would make it a poit to buy a
block of four or more of every
stamp that came out- And he
went on to point nut how much
values had already risen then,
back there In 1915, from what
they had been some 30 years
before.
"The other fellow was a neg

CURRIER PRINT OF OLD PRESIDENT LOW-PRICED
It was a srrajil print, about 8
hv 10 inches, but Charles seem
ed to he fascinated by it.
"Millard Fillmore." the cap
tion read. "Thirteenth President
of the United States and Nation
al Candidate for the Fifteenth
President of the United States."
The date on it was 1856. The
name of the maker was Nathan-
ipl Currier, founder of the firm
that was later to make history
under the name of Currier and
Ives.
The print was mounted in a
neat, black frame that gave plen-
ty of margin for the mat. Here
and there across the face of the
century-old picture were the
marks of time. On the whole,
however, it seemed to be in tru-
ly excellent condition.
"You know." said Charles,
"I've been thinking for some
time that I would like to make
a collection of portraits of the
Presidents pictures, rather
especially of the older ones.
Those in the last century. And

mythical beasts among the gun
engravers of the past century.
But between two of the groov
es was an engraving absolutely
unique in my experience with
shotguns. It was of a naval engagement-
Furthermore, the ves
sels involved were galleys, not
sailing ships.
The marking on the cylinder
read "Patent Arms Man y Pat
terson, N.J. Colt's Patents."
The gun had a walnut stock
and pistol grip.
I asked Jerry how much he
had paid for it. He showed me a
receipt for S300.
"I would have gone to S400."
he paid. "And actually I think I
might have gone even higher,
maybe to $500. The gun is cer
tainly worth it."
1915 NOW WORTH $300
just a passing fad that had al
ready seen their peak. The mar
ket was swamped and the only
way it could go now was down.
"My wife and I listened to
them and finally we decided to
put the matter to an actual test.
We didn't have much money at
the time, but we felt that we
could risk 40 cents on a block
of four 10-cent orange stamps
that had been put out special
for the Exposition."
As he spoke, Mr. Hatworth
produced an envelope from his
coat pocket and shook out the
block of four stamps.
"They're the very ones we put
in the envelope," he said. "She
just came across them again the
other day. How much are they
worth:1"
Paul opened his Scott's Cata
logue to the proper page.
Mr. Hatworth looked incred
ulously at the encircled figure.
"Three hundred dollars.", he ex
claimed. "Three hundred dollars
for 40 cents and 42 years "
I think that this would be a
good time and place to begin."
I said nothing for a moment;
instead, I concentrated on a
small tag in the corner of the
picture. It was inconspicuous,
but presently I became aware
that it was a price tag and that
it read S75.
"But why begin with Fill
more," I said. "After all, he's not
exactly one of our better-known
Presidents."
Charles nodded. "Quite right.
But a picture of Fillmore at this
stage of his career, in 1856. when
the Know Nothing Party nomin-
ated him, at a time when he was
out of the country, is a pretty
rare picture. I think I'll buy it."
"That's all right," he said. "A
picture like this is usually cata-
logued at S100, but that's a bit
too low. Twice in the past I've
tried to get copies of this print
and both times I've been asked
to pay over S125 for them."

Grange Notes
Enterprise Grange
Members of Enterprise
Grange held a regular meeting
recently with their master
Gladys Boulter, in th chair.
Rogue valley flood control rep
resentative, Chester Jensen, re
ported that Porter had presented
his bill on flood control. Jensen
stated that not all of the officers
and members were in favor of
presenting a bill at this time.
As dairy chairman, Jensen re
minded Grangers that June was
dairy month, and that extensive
surveys were being carried out
at Corvallis on strip pasture
feeding.- Changing pastures
every day or two gives pasture a
chance to grow and tends to in
crease production with out rais
ing cost. Also in Jensen's report,
he stated that Idaho was ship
ping milk into Oregon as Ore
eon was paying more for milk.
The dairymen in Idaho said it
was cheaper to produce milk in
Idaho.
Ways and means chairman.
Jane Moorman, reported that
S 1 2 .75 was taken in at the card
party. The July 4 barbecue was
tabled for some time in the fu
ture, as most of the people were
vacationing or very busy in hay
fields.
Alice Wales was appointed to
arrange the next lecture hour
program for the next meeting.
Hosts for the evening were
Mr. and Mrs. Jimmie King and
Mr. and Mrs- George Barrie.

Two Overcome
In Blaze at Mill
Ashland A night watchman
and an Ashland fireman were
overcome by fumes from a fire
at the Mistletoe Mill on High
way 99 south, early Friday
morning.
The watchman, William C
Chappelle, 61, and the fireman
L. D. Trenton, 27, both of Ash
land, were overcome while
fighting the fire, which was re
ported at 5:15 a.m. The fire,
which had been burning for
some time, got out of control.
Firemen found Chappelle un
conscious in the pit and took
him to Ashland General hos
pital. Trenton lost consciousness
when oxygen in his mask gave
out. A resuscitator was used to
revive both victims en route to
the hospital. They were report
ed in good condition.
Mill officials said the fire was
confined to the fuel within the
wells of the fire-proof concrete
fuel house. They explained the
fuel fire was hot and caused a
gaseous condition. Two Ashland
fire department trucks respond
ed to the call. Mill fire fighting
equipment was in use, but rein
forcement was needed, it was
reported.

Sixth Truman Article
What would happen if a Presi
dent became incapacitated and
unable to perform his duties?
We're naturally reluctant to
face up to such a grim question
But the Founding Fathers did
not give us an answer, and Presi
dent Eisenhower's illnesses have
served as a reminder that presi
dential disability could seriously
damage the American Govern
ment in both domestic and for
eign affairs.
In another article on current
events, former President Harry
S. Turman urges the problem
to be faced now. and proposes
a plan of succession in time of
presidential disability.
The need for such a plan in
tensifies, he warns, as the mental
