CAVE JUNCTION
Special Mail Run Held
By RUTH RAUSCH
Cave Junction The Rev.
Don M. Chase of Crescent
City, fully equipped with a
bonafide cap and ball "shoot
in' am" carried thejmail on
the special re-run of the mail
commemorating the centen
nial celebration of the old
Waldo -Crescent City mail
route, which left the O'Brien
post , office at 8:30 Saturday
morning, Aug. 23.
He is expected to arrive he.-
fore the grandstand in time
for the afte'rnoon program of
the Del Norte County fair in
Crescent City.
' The sack of an estimated
1000 pieces of special mail.
left in a jeep over the old
Wimer rd., built in 1882, to
the North Fork of the Smith
river, where it will be car
ried across on horseback for
a distance of two miles. This
two mile' stretch of the old
Pioneer rd. has been aban
doned for nearly 60 years and
was so overgrown with brush
a work detail of the Del Norte
Historical Society had to
clear it before even a horse
could travel it.
The last seven miles of the
mail run will be made in
two horse team spring wagon
and will carry, besides the
driver and Rev. Chase with
the mail. Mrs. Collins Mc-
Clendon of Crescent City, the
granddaughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Van Buren Jones, who
owned and operated the stop
ping place of Rockland at the
crossing of the North Fork of
the Smith River, one mile
south of the border. Also on
the wagon will be Mrs
Drexel Swanson of Crescent
City, daughter of the ' Del
Norte Historical Society
president.
The mail run was estab
lished from Sailor Diggings
later renamed Waldo in 1858
and five years later, in 1863
the new Waldo store and post
office was built. The O'Brien
Dost office was used as the
starting point of the centen
nial run, being the nearest
station on the old route to
the original Waldo site which
has completely deteriorated.
Portland Airport
Building Dedicated
Portland (UPD The new
nine-story air terminal at
Portland's International air
port was dedicated Sunday
amid 95-deeree heat and a
mamoth traffic jam.
In an address, Gov. Robert
D. Holmes dedicated the mod
ern air facility "to the widest
possible use by people all
over the world."
Spectators, who came in
droves to see the $5,285,000
structure, also witnessed one
of the largest air shows in the
nation this year in the fourth
annual Jaycee air fair.
Multnomah sheriffs depu
ties toiled until nearly 6 p.m.
almost two-and-a-half hours
after the end of the ceremon
ies, to clear -tne xramc jam
created by some 25,000 cars
parked at the airport and
along all roads ift a 30-block
radius.
Wishing Well Coins
Stolen at Portland
Portland (UPD Police said
today sneak thieves made off
with $600 in coins from a
wishing well at Lambert gar
dens here. The thieves pried
off a protective screen cover
ing to scoop out the cash, po
lice said.
Daily's U-Drive
Medford Airport
Before this mail route was
established, the inland set
tiers received their mail and
supplies either through Port
land and Scottsburg or from
the Sacramento valley by
Shasta.
The Pioneer rd., the Waldo
Crescent City mail route was
built by the Crescent City
Plank Road and Turnpike
company, a share company.
Soon after the road opened
in May of 1858, two rival ex
press companies operating at
that time out of Crescent
City, the McLellan and Com
pany and P. J. Mann outfit
and the J. P. Johnson Com
pany, staged a race over the
60 miles. The Johnson com
pany won, setting a record of
5 hours and 27 minutes for
the course, a time that could
scarcely be surpassed over
such a road 50 years later in
a Model-T or any other car. .
Horace Gasquet, a French
settler, secured rights to a
part of the old Pioneer road,
built by the Smith River val
ley people. In 1882 the
Wimer road was ready for
use, it coincided for about 16
miles with the original road
but at both ends of the route
was quite different.
Gasquet was not finished,
however. He continued his
road, which came from Cres
cent City, through his town
and continued from Gasquet
station, went up the north
bank of the middle fork to
Patricks creek, switching
over to Shelly creek and
thence over Oregon mountain
and down into Illinois Valley.
This became the most popu
lar road and continued in use
until 1920 when the present
Highway 199 was developed.
The present special cachet
was carried over a combina
tion of the old Pioneer and
Wimer roads. Present at the
O'Brien post office to launch
the special mail run was
Johnny Valen, former post
master of O'Brien and Art
Williams, former driver of
the mail run. The last mail
run by stage was in 1914
when the horse-drawn ve
hicle was replaced by one of
the first cars,' using a crank
on the side of the running
board. However, due to the
road conditions, many times
it had to be parked and the
driver returned to the horses.
Mr. and Mrs. Floyd B.
Blade of Gasquet in their
own jeep accompanied the
special cachet as escorts.
