Saturday, Aug. 2
As we were sitting at dinner a Bewick's wren came and
clung to the window where we could all get a fine view of
it with its perky tail, long bill and white line over the eye.
Sunday.' Aug. 3
A turkey vulture soared over our place in the morning.
We have seen fewer than usual from home this year. A flock
of bushtits came through the place twice during the day. A
pair of Brewer's blackbirds came to feed on the lawn. These
visitors brought my home list for the week to 25, a very
good number for midsummer.
Monday. Aug. 4
With the company of J. H. and R. B., I got in another
good morning birding expedition. We arranged our affairs
so as to get started at 6. Actually I was ahead of schedule
but my companions were also ready ahead. We are really
eager. We headed for Hyatt Lake.
We didn't do much stopping until we turned off the
main road at the top of the Green Springs grade. Then we
stopped whenever we saw or heard birds. They weren't sing
ing much but there was some calling and a lot of activity.
We saw four different kinds of warblers, Aubudon's, orange
crowned, Wilson's and MacGillivray's. We saw purple mar
tins flying over the lake and perching on the dead trees that
stand in it. I feel sure that they have been nesting there.
These are big, handsome swallows, worth coming out to see.
After looking along the lake shore we took a drive up
the road to Table Mountain. It was a' pretty ride up through
the woods and soon we came to an open place where there
was a magnificent view. Mt. Shasta stood up grandly to
the south. We could see many ranges of mountains and
hills and way down in the valley was Ashland. There were
also a number of birds around, but several of them eluded
a good enough view to make a certain identification.
Tuesday, Aug. 5
I did some work cutting out and burning star thistles.
These plants make excellent winter feed for goldfinches,
but I don't like to have them on the home place. Mistletoe
berries are also a staple winter food for bluebirds, but I
still don't like to have mistletoe in our oak trees. Luckily
both the plants mentioned are pretty tough and persistent
so I guess we don't have to worry about the birds starving
even if we clean up our places. You just caii't work for the
birds all the time. You have to try to make things nice for
people, too.
Wednesday, Aug. 6
I saw some baby quail no bigger than the ones I saw on
June 25. I think that earlier batch are just about grown
now, so these, too, will have plenty of time to mature before
fall.
Thursday, Aug. 7
As we were eating breakfast I saw some yellow warb
lers in the same dead peach tree I mentioned once before as
a good perching place for birds. These are the first warblers
we have had on the home place in some time. They were
attracted by a sprinkler which I had going near that spot.
We are very busy now getting ready to go on our vaca
tion trip, starting tomorrow. Like every vacation for us it
will include bird watching. We are heading for California,
going first to Yosemite and then on to the south, visiting a
son and his wife in San Clemente who have a daughter that
we have not yet seen.
I have a book entitled "Guide to Bird Finding West of
the Mississippi." Off and on for' a month or more I have
looked at it to see what it says about good birding spots in
California and possible species to see in the places we will
be near. I have made a kind of wish-list of birds I would
like especially to see. Some that I have seen before but
would especially enjoy seeing again are the mockingbird,
roadrunner, white-throated swift and phainopepla. Some
that I have never seen and hope that I might see are the
white tailed kite, black swift, vermillion flycatcher, pine
grosbeak and blue grosbeak. Of course I would dearly love
to see a California condor, but that is just about beyond the
limit of my hope. I don't even expect to see all the others
mentioned, but I should see some of them, and then there
will be other bonus birds, not so much looked for, but just
as interesting when I see them.
I'll keep a diary, so anybody can see how we come out.

Former Residents
Of California Town
Hold First Reunion
By KATHERINE CHAPMAN
Hornbrook Something
a little different in the line of
"family reunions" was held
at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Henley Clawson last Sunday.
It was a reunion of former
residents of Tennant, Calif.,
a one-time lumber town
about 50 miles east of Yreka
in the heart of the Siskiyou
county hunting and fishing
country.
The town was given lock,
stock and barrel to the Vet
erans of Foreign Wars last
year. The deed to the 35-year
oldtown was handed over to
California State Commander
Alva J. Flemming of Sacra
mento, and Richard L. Rou
debush of Indianapolis, VFW
national commander, by its
owners, Long-Bell Division
of the International Paper
company in December of
1957.
Headquarters Camp
The town, named for a
prominent member of the
Long-Bell Lumber company,
was built as a headquarters
camp 35 years ago. It was
closed in September, 1957,
when trucking eliminated
the need for the community
as a base of operations, and
it was then that the residents
moved to establish their
homes and find occupations.
At its peak, the town had
a population of 1,000. At the
time the deed was handed to
the VFW it was deserted ex
cept for four caretakers. But
150 permanent houses, ou
cabins, a large rooming
house, a community church,
a cookhouse, an electrical
plant and sewage system, ma
chine shop with a large num
ber of tools and workable
machinery, library, commu
nity hall and other facilities
remain in good condition.
Hope of VFW
The town is situated in the
Cascade range, 4,800 feet
above sea level. That the
town may eventually become
a backwoods retreat for re
tired members is the hope
of the California division of j
the VFW.
Traveling the longest dis
tance to attend the reunion
were Mr. and Mrs. Clay Par
ker of Springfield, Ore.; Mr.
and Mrs. "Tex" Hall of Oak

float in the- Grants Pass
Gladioli Festival received a
special honorable mention and
was popular with people
watching the parade, garden
club representatives said Sat
urday. A non-competitive entry,

Mrs. Roosevelt Says U. 5. Makes Mistake
Fort Collins, Colo. (UPD then pose as the champions of
Mrs. TSleanor Roosevelt said
Friday the United States is
making "a very serious mis
take" in cutting preparations
for waging of "small wars."
She said the Russians are
"constantly preparing trou
ble" and have prepared for
small encounters because they
"can't afford a major war.'
"Ever since Korea," , she
said, "the Soviets have in
cited small wars. They give
guns, stir up the dissidents
the right of the people to
fight for their freedom."
A bird can rise while it is
falling. Soaring hawks, eagles
or vultures are really coast
ing downhill. They rise in re

they ride columns of rising
