Friday, May 15, 1959 Arthur Leaves Godfrey Hospital New York - (UPD - Arthur Godfrey was to walk out of the hospital at noon today, 15 days after removal of a can cerous tumor from his left lung.

TABLE ROCK Barn Being Remodeled By R. E. NEALON Table Rock - Sam Glass, the ex-Marine and jack of many trades, is remodeling the big barn on the J. S. Rich ardson farm. In trying to get the age of this barn, we checked with Verne Pendleton of Central Point, a former owner, who informed us that the Pendle ton family took possession March 17, 1892, and the farm buildings were there, built some years before, he thinks probably in the eighties. The lumber used was made from local pine trees on this and other farms of the com munity, sawed ifc a mill some little distance from the barn on the side hill which was used to deck the logs hauled by team and wagon. Several from here attended the recent Jewett days at Cra ter High school, and report an enjoyable time visiting with old classmates. The Ed Bennett family, which has lived for some time in the small cottage on the Ray Baker farm, have moved from the community. The va cated cottage, and some pas ture and farm land is for lease by Mr. Baker. Charley and Tom Given re cently brought down their herd of stock cattle from their farm near the Elks picnic grounds to the pastures on the Table Top ranch. Our better half and I ac companied by Miss Maxine Gordon, a missionary to Bel gian Congo in Africa, where she has spent thepast five years and will soon return, to Crater lake Monday. We have visited Crater lake many times but have never seen it so beautiful, with the clear blue sky above, the bright sunshine on the white snow made a setting for reflections we have never seen before. Miss Gordon has been around a bit, in all her trav els, but thought she had never seen anything so wonderful and beautiful as Crater lake. We met several California parties at the rim, and some local people. We met a man and his wife from Eureka, Calif., who were up here look ing for a farm. We wish that some of our people that brag about Cali fornia's tax system could talk tt these people who claim it is almost impossible to save anything in California.

Medford, Oregon Big "Y" Feed nd Seet Company 1948 Pacific Highway, North, Medford, Oregon While looking at a picture of the members of the Oregon legislature in session at Salem February 1895, we found many interesting things. Jack son county was represented in the lower house by John Av. Jeffries, of Medford, and S. M. Nealon of Table Rock, while in the Senate were Geo. Dunn i ' Ashland, and Sam Holt of Medford. Apparently the county had t-ro senators at that time. Dunn was a Republican and the other three Populists. At that time U. S. Senators were elected by the Legislature. According to a score sheet in the record book, there were nine voted on during the ses sion with Dolph and Williams leading. v It seems that neither could get the necessary majority, and a "dark horse,' McBride, came in near the end of the session and was elected. Among the bills introduced was one by Smith of Jose phine county to provide for the construction of an insane asylum in southern Oregon. Another bill would fix sal aries for county assessors, giv ing them a raise. Both bills were tabled. ' The first bill introduced was on Jan. 26, and the last Feb. 15. ' ' This picture would indicate that men went more to whis kers at that time than they did 100 years ago. We could, find only three with possibly one more that were clean shaven, while a picture of Lincoln and his cabinet in Harpers Weekly of 1861 shows five clean shaven of the eight in the pic ture. A picture of Jeff Davis and' cabinet shows the same proportion. On the other hand nearly all the Generals and Army officers, what we now call the "big - brasss" wore hairy face decoration of some kind. Beaverton Girl, 18, Chosen Miss Portland Portland - (UPD - Karlyn Mattsson, 18-year-old Beaver- ton high school senior, was chosen as Miss Portland Thurs day night from a group of nine finalists. .

Mark Hatfield's veto of House bill 72 was staged Thursday night in Eu gene by 100 members of the Independent Log Truck Driv ers' Association in the Eugene Springfield area. Hatfield was in Eugene ad dressing a meeting of the Wil lamette Valley Hoo Hoo club, a lumbermen's fraternal asso ciation,' when the demonstra tors drove their, empty log trucks around the Eugene hotel several times. An ob server said Gov. Hatfield was aware of the demonstration but did not see it. Benefits Big Operators The independent log truck drivers said the bill would have benefited them arid its veto would benefit only the big operators. One of the truckers, Austin Davis of Springfield, said the inde pendent truckers have been hard pressed to stay in busi ness because of what he called "cut throat" competition. Hatfield, speaking before the demonstration took place, said he vetoed the bill on ad vice of the public utility com missioner and after checking with officials in Washington and California where such a law is enforced. He said he would call a conference of in terested parties to "prepare some ideas that might more properly be enacted into law." The bill the governor vetoed would have brought log haul ers under jurisdiction of the PUC, requiring PUC permits to operate' in Oregon and au thorizing the commissioner to fix rates. Chairman of ICC Willing To Talk Boxcar Shortage Washington-(UPD-The chair man of the Interstate Com merce Commission said Thurs day he. would be "very glad" to confer with Oregon Gov. Mark Hatfield's Emergency Transportation Committee to discuss the threatened freight car shortage in that state. But the ICC chief, Kenneth H. Tuggle, said he "seriously questions" whether such a meeting would be "fruitful" in increasing the- supply of cars to meet shipper demands in Oregon. Norblad's Suggestion Tuggle made the comments in a letter to Rep. Walter Nor blad (R-Ore.) who had sug gested the. state-federal con ference in a communication to Tuggle last May IT The chairman told Norblad that "much of the burden in making cars available rests with the railroads." Tuggle pointed out that the ICC has no authority to re quire railroads to purchase freight equipment or to pre scribe rules and regulations for maintenance, of freight equipment. "However, we shall con tinue to bring the matter forcefully to the attention of the railroads in our efforts to avert a shortage," he said. "This subject has been han dled vigorously with the As sociatipn of American Rail roads, as well as with the car riers themselves."

Barry Goldwater, (R-Ariz.) said Thursday night he favors Vice President Richard M. Nixon over New York's Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller for the Republican presidential nom ination in 1960. "I think we've got a good man in Nixon," Goldwater said. The Arizona senator said he saw no "great demands" for Rockefeller throughout the nation.
