and a number of young folks in
their 50s and 60s, gathered in
Holland last Thursday to cele

lived in the valley 61 years.
Soon after Saidee Ranzau

she met and married John M.
Smock, a gold miner, who was
later to build the Holland store
and hotel. Before it closed dur
ing the war years, the hotel din
ing room was famed all over
Southern Oregon for its fine
food. And at the store, the little
gold scales on which miners
weighed their gleanings against
beans and potatoes, were always
to be found.
Mr. Smock died two years ago.
The store is now owned and
operated by Mr. and, Mrs. Harry
Floyd, only daughter and son-in-law
of Mrs. Smock.
Mrs. Floyd was hostess for
the birthday party, given at the
home of Mrs. Smock. Assisting
her were the daughters of the
70 and 80-year-olds.
Guests spent the afternoon
reminiscing. They filled out pa
pers giving brief autobiograph
ies, and tried to identify pictures
taken of each other in former
days.
After Mrs. Smock opened her
many gifts, refreshments were
served, including a decorated
cake.
At the party were the Mes
dames Nellie Hart Streit, 89;
Catherine Thornton Gray, 89,
both of Grants Pass; Saidee

Moist Marine Air
Cools Northwest
By UNITED PRESS
A surge of moist marine air
today broke the back of the heat
wave that had gripped the Pa-,
cific Northwest the first part
of the week.
Temperatures dropped sharp
ly today as a blanket of fog and
low clouds rolled in over west
ern Oregon from the coast to
hold down afternoon high tem
peratures. Portland yesterday
had 89 degrees, the hottest day
of the year, and Medford and
The Dalles each reported 92
degrees.
Forecasters, however, saw no
end to continued sunny weather
'a. the high pressure ridge aloft
off the coast continues to send
the Pacific storms northward
into Alaska. A low pressure
trough moving east of the Cas
cades was expected to cause
some heating on that side of the
mountains today.
Fire hazards remained at
critical levels but brisk east
winds that poured through the
Columbia river gorge into north
west Oregon earlier in the week
subsided.

compared quite well with the
others.
Mrs. Poe also gave her views

more people take an interest and
cooperate and contribute to the
displays and help make our fu
ture State Fairs even more suc
cessful. Melvin Lattie gave a summary

ordinance meeting which he at
tended at Central Point last
week. About 100 interested per
sons attended that meeting and
several different views were ex
pressed. Al Schroeder, reporting on
poultry and eggs, said the mar
ket was good at present, but to
make any appreciable profit re
quired a large investment and
a great, number of laying hens.

Sept. 24 will be the last meet
ing in this quarter. Please read
your Bulletin to assure yourself
