Residents of the Jacksonville area are reminded that news I OLEUM Sunday, October 13. 1957 Juried Treasure Palmetto Rifles Common But Have Growing Value The different kind of long arms generally, weapons fired from the shoulder made during the 19th Century is nearly in finite. Certainly no one t collec tor knows them all not even all those that were manufac tured in the United States. Some of them are extremely valuable, worth into the thous ands of dollars each. Others are almost worthless. In between the two extremes lies a series of types that have a fairly low but definitely growing value. A good example of these is to be found among those weapons produced by the Palmetto Arm ory of South Carolina. Classed as Confederate wea pons, the Palmetto Armory products are still fairly common despite their improving position in the eyes of collectors. SILVER TAX REVENUE STAMP The paper given me was a me morandum of transfer of 10,000 ounces of silver for $5,500, to gether with a statement of the amount of profit made by the transfer in this case an even $1,000. The date of the transaction was in August, 1935. Affixed to the memorandum was a blue revenue stamp, a long narrow one of the kind known as a doc umentary of 1917. On the upper part of it, above the portrait of Alexander Hamil ton, were the words "United States Internal Revenue' Below was the word "Documentary." The denomination was given both top and botton. Overprint ed across the face of the stamp, WHITMAN TEMPERANCE NOVEL EARNS GOOD PRICE Frank asked "Did you ever hear that Walt Whitman wrote a temperance novel? That he was a tract writer?" I said that I hadn't. "I've just bought a book by Walter Whitman, and I'm sure it must be the poet. And if it's a first edition, then it very def initely ought to have consider able value." As Frank continued to talk and I began to get used to the idea of Whitman as a tract writer, a crusader shoulder-to-shoulder with Carrie Nation against the Demon Rum, I could feel a powerful surge of curi osity. "The title's 'Franklin Evans; or The Inebriate'," Frank said. I checked and found that the O'Brien Receives New Fire Truck Thursday Cave Junction O'Brien's new fire truck, a 500-gallon per min ute pumper, arrived in the Illi nois valley Thursday, and was given its regulation three-hour demonstration test that after noon and Friday morning. The truck is being purchased for S7,200 from Roney, Inc., of Portland, makers of fire equip ment. Another similar pumper is under consideration for the Selma area. concerning clubs, anniversaries, family events and other items of interest to readers should be phoned in to this correspondent at TWinoaks 9-1209 as early as possible. New families in the area are particularly encouraged to call in news items in order that the "old timers" can get to know them better. Floor Example: 12'xl5' Rug Just $15.80 Phone SP 3-3912 PER An example of this was pro vided recently by the swiftness with which an acquaintance of mine spotted and bought a Pal metto Armory musket. He paid the second hand store clerk $30 for it. The musket was a rifled, per cussion weapon of .58 calibre, just a couple of inches under five feet in over-all length. On the lockplate was a pal metto tree symbol stamped into the metal. Around it in a circle was the legend "Palmetto Arm ory, S.C." There were other marks elsewhere m the weapon, but that wap the principle one. Why my friend bought the piece with such lttle hesitation was that he knew the general price level for Palmetto Arm ory long arms, regardless of calibre, ranged from $75 to $140. WORTH 140 PAPER DOLLARS one above the other, were the words SILVER TAX. The man who had brought the memorandum in for appraisal said that he had found it stuck on the underside of a drawer in a secondhand desk he had pur chased the year before from an office furniture supply house. The firm which had made the transaction was one that had gone out of business in the lat ter 1940s, not too long after World War II. The Scott's Catalogue Speci alized showed it to have a value in its used form of $175. With that to go on, it took only a short time to locate a collector who was particularly anxious to get such a stamp. The amount finally realized was $140. poet had written such a work. Whether or not it was the origi nal temperance novel, I can't say. The work was first published in pamphlet form, without cov ers and giving the author's name as Walter Whitman. It appeared as a supplement to "The New World," for November 1842. The last page carries an advertise ment for other works then in production. The copy Frank had picked up for $20 was the first, the one without covers. Another edition, published that year, appeared in reddish brown wrappers. The price Frank finally got for his copy was $275.

Those shoes, actually boots and spurs, saved the life of Vern Strum, who had donned a bear hide and climbed a 108-foot fir tree to publicize a benefit va riety show. Deputy Sheriff Emery Kirk patrick was sent out to investi gate and "kill the bear if neces sary" when a resident called and reported seeing the "animal" in the tree. "I had him dead in my sights when I noticed the shoes," Kirk patrick said. "Believe me, he was very much in danger of being shot." Kirkpatrick said he also had to shoo a party of hunters away from the tree. Hunting season opens in. Washington today and the hunters, apparently enroute to the mountains, had stopped in a cafe across the street for coffee. When they spotted the "bear" and the deputy, they grabbed their rifles and ran to aid in the kill. "I had to tell them to lay off," Kirkpatrick said. "I didn't know for sure what was up that tree, but you can't shoot a bear with shoes on." Strum spent four hours in the tree before he finally came down.
