TABLE ROCK
Arthur Doty Home Sold
By R. E. NEALON
Table Rock The Arthur
Doty home here was sold las?
week to Mr. and Mrs. Harold
Sharp, of Medford. The plot of
land contains five acres of fertile
soil with irrigation rights from
the local ditch company.
The price was said to be
$11,500, with terms, and pos
session time indefinite, depend
ing upon Mrs. Doty's health,
when the Dotys will move to
Carson City, Nev., where their
daughter, Mrs. John Bunten, and
family reside. The Doty family
fitted well into our community
life, and fully intended to make
this their permanent home, when
Mrs.- Doty was stricken with a
serious illness which makes it
necessary for a change in their
plans.
There are at the present time,
two more nice homes with small
acreages for sale in the commun
ity, o
Mr. and Mrs. Charley Plow
man and grandson and Mrs.
Chester Logue of Yacolt, Wash.,
and Mrs. William Turner of Van
couver, Wash., were recent vis
itors with old-time friends at the
J. S. Richardson farm. Mrs.
Plowman and Mrs. Logue wye
members of the Pomeroy faiily
who lived in this vicinity more
than 50 years ago. Charley Plow
man resided here at that time
also, and was employed for some
time at the Modoc Orchard,
which he remembers was worked
with mules as the source of pow
er. About 20 teams of the "crit
ters" pulling walkingplows, (foot
burners) each 12 -inch plow
steered by a man between the
handles.
A letter frbm Mrs. William
B Li hop of Kansas City, Kan.,
states that they have been get
ting some hot, sticky weather
there with the thermometer
some days registering more than
100 degrees.
Brief callers here with old
time friends were Mrs. Eva Mc
Coy of Sacramento, Calif., and
lister, Mrs. Joe Quink of Alame
da, Calif. These ladies were resi
dents of the Table Rock Com
munity some 40 years ago, and
stopped here on their way home
"from a get-together meeting of
the relatives of the late G. P.
Hall at Vancouver, Wash. Mrs.
McCoy claims the California tax
system is the worst in the coun
try, with a state income tax, a
state property tax, ftate sales
tax, and many of the counties
and cities now levying sales
taxes, and of course the Federal
income tax has to be paid.
The Bill Hubbards of the
Eagle Point area were here
Thursday after a supply of can
taloupes. Bill says the cheaper
feeds for the dairy cows seems
to have created a surplus of milk
which leaves the dairyman with
less take home pay than before
the drop in feed prices.
Lloyd Beers, the logger-farmer
of the Beagle district, a recent
caller here, reports poor crpp
yields and the ground so dry and
hard that a cat jfcn't scratch.it.
That may explain why we are
getting so many stray cats down
this way.
Several rattlesnakes have been
seen secently at the Modoc Or
chard. One was discovered by
John Dickey crawling out from
under his back porch, and being
half in and half out,', couldn't
rattle the war signal, and with
so much under the house he
eouldn't beat John to the draw,
so was quickly dispatched by
John's trusty rifle.
Another big rattler was treed
in a bush by the Bert Pierce
dog, and taken care of by Bert
John Deaver of the Ford Im
plement company of Medford,
was out this way one day last
week trying to scare up a trade
with us with a little "boot"
money on the side.
Field men from other imple
ment houses have been over
this way just to keep in touch.
So far none of them has tried to
tell us how many tractors it
would take to buy a ton of hay
or vice versa.
Another victim of the fast
moving traffic on the Table Rock
and roll road, was the cute little
dog belonging to Miss Rae Bos
worth, which was hit and killed
a few days ago.
The threshing of grain was
finished here in quick time this

year. Three combines, one owned
by the Table Top ranch, which
did the threshing on the ranch,
one brought here from the Fran
cis Russell farm near Medford,
ariti operated by the Robinsons,
and the Dale Schultz new ma
chine from Sans Valley.
For the first time in this sec
tion, all grain crops were
threshed in bulk, no sacks being
used. It was a far cry from the
first grain harvftting we can re
member, at that time the grain
was first cut with a machine
called a header, which was usu
ally pulled, or perhaps we might
say pushed by four horses which
were hi'hed to the rear and
driven by a jnan who straddled
a tiller wheel.
The three header boxes, each
drawn by two horses took the
cut straw from the header spout
which was pitched out and
stacked by two men. Later a
threshing machine, consisting of
a separator and horse power did
the work of separating the grain
from the straw. The power to
turn the machinery was furnish
ed by 10 or 12 horses hitched to
sweeps. In this operation there
was some 12 to 15 men, and
that many horses.
Our threshing, done this year
by Dale Schultz, was a one man
job, the 60 bushel grain tank was
filled in the field, the machine
driven to the granary and the
grain elevated through a window
to the bins in the granary. No
sacks, no lifting, no muss or dust.
In the horse-power days wheat
was worth 50 cents a bushel, and
now $2 and farmers are net
getting rich yet.

Alger Hiss Working
As $12,000 Assistant
By Comb Company
New York Alger Hiss, the
convicted perjurer, is now em
ployed in a $12,000 per year job
for a comb manufacturing firm,
the New York Herald Tribune
reported last week
Hiss, whose 1950 conviction
involved concealing espionage
for the Soviet Union, is em
ployed as a special assistant to
R. Andrew Smith, president of
Feathercombs, Inc. Smith said
the former State Department of
ficial has made himself "quite
indispensable" in the three
months since he joined the firm.
The Herald Tribune story con
tinued: The head of the company,
which makes special combs to
hold women's hair in place, said
that he had heard Hiss was in
need of a job and offered him a
"clerical" post which was ac
cepted at $100 a week. Hiss was
so "tremendously successful" at
solving office problems and im
proving, procedures, Mr. Smith
said, that this salary seemed .
"disgraceful" and the rapid pro-!
motion followed! i
Hiss was unavailable to dis-
cuss his work.
As to the perjury conviction, j
the manufacturer said he had
no "pre-formed opinions" at the j
time Hiss was hired but that
now, as a result of personal con- I
tact, "I don't think he could lie i
and get away with it." Mr.
Smith said that he has been try- ,
ing to read the Hiss book In
the Court of Public Opinion"
but that he is finding it "dry."
Persons in book circles said
yesterday that sales of the vol
ume, in which Hiss put forward
his own defense, were "disappointing."
Warning Issued On Pholo Soliciting
Jackson County Chamber of
Commerce has issued a warning
to local residents about solicita
tion of portrait photos by out of
town firms.
The chamber said, "One of
the most frequent subjects re
ported in the Portland Better
Business Bureau bulletin and
those of the National Better
Business Bureau are complaints
involving traveling photograph
ic studios.
"Bureau reports, checked over
the past two years, indicate a
wide variety of studios solicit
ing photos in towns throughout
the Pacific northwest. A broad
range of complaints often fol
lows." One report came in a Janu
ary, 1957 bulletin. Complain
ants reported that they pur
chased $2 coupons (many in
tending to use the photographs
as Christmas gifts) with the un
derstading that the photogra
pher would call at their home
"in a day or so" to take the
pictures.
In November, 1956, a bulletin
said pictures ordered from an
other firm were either not de
livered as agreed, or were so
poor in quality they were worthless.
A direct mall approach ap
peared in the April, 1956 bulle
tin. Parents reported receiving
mailings claiming "The interest
and appeal of your child's pic
ture qualify it for attention of
the nation's leading TV produ
cers, publishers and advertising
agencies." The firms ask that
$10 be sent to have the picture
published. '
The chamber advises, "Those
