Wilson Woolworth't Tablets Table Rock Since' the Fourth of July Is just around the corner, we got out the Harper s Weekly of July 4 186S, to see what was doing on the Fourth of July at that time. We found a double page sketch showing discharged union soldiers returning home One soldier has changed to civilian attire, a team of horses is being hitched to a plow by a negro boy, while grandpa is trying to ouiet the horses, who seem to be frightened at the new driver whose wife is pointing to the plow handles, which doesn't seem to interest him too much. A little girl has her arms around his leg, while the young son is using the hoe for a cavalry horse wearing an army cap with canteen slung over his shoulder. Among other small sketches is a returning officer, who is hanging his saber over the mantel while his wife looks on and tries to pacify the small boy who seems to be fright ened at the unusual sight. At the bottom of the page in big black type is "Peace On Earth Good Will Towards Men." Jess Elder reports the sale of a tract of land up Ante lope creek near Chimney rock to the D. A. Tank arsley family of California, who wanted land in Oregon where they would have more elbow room and other advantages. The deal was handled by Frank Straus of Sams Valley, wko is a real tor. The Table Rock Store is now operating its sandwich and soft drink counter, and will continue throughout the summer. Mrs. Walter Miller re ports that her husband re cently circulated a petition in the Sams Valley precinct asking that dogs be per mitted to run at large, and that voters of the Sams Val ley precinct, which includes the Table Rock community, be permitted to vote on such a law at the next gen eral election. Also, accord ing to Mrs. Miller the Sams Valley school will have a new principal, a Mr. Job ox Los Angeles, Calif., who, with his family, is moving into the teacher's cottage in the near future. Mr. Job will teach the seventh and eighth garde?, and his wife the third. Sam Glass, the ex-Marine and hard-hitting farmer, who wakes us at all hours of the night going to or from his work, has softened up a bit since becoming a family man. He now has a huge parasol attached to his tractor to keep the blazing son from bleach ing his tossled locks. The Table Rock commun ity now is the home of sev eral persons who were for mer residents of Minnesota. They are Mr. and Mrs. Ev erett Jacobson, and four small children, now living at the Darling dairy farm, where Mr. Jacobson has charge of the milking oper ations, and Mrs. Dan Meek er, who with her husband, lives on the Table Top ranch. Mr. Meeker, at pres ent, is acting herdsman and caretaker of registered white face cattle at the ranch. Benny Peek, herdsman for Table Top Hereford ranch and family have just returned to the valley from an 8,000 mile business and pleasure trip. They visited Hereford cattle ranches from Jackson rour Equitable representative JIM METZ 1310 Rldgewey Medford, Oregon Phonet SPrlng 2-4294 I J v j rVtlinilSiitlli-SpokanaTacMab(MSataCMlr Cl" n Tam- By R. I. NEALON ville, Fla., to Wallowa county in Eastern Oregon. They vis ited such outstanding ranches as the WNR ranch at Chey enne, Wyo., the Snutn Fe Riv er ranch nt Jacksonville, Fla,, and the famous Circle M Ranch in Seniitobia, Miss., wheer recently a one-fourth interest In a polled Hereford bull was sold to Mr. Steady, owner of Double S ranch, at Chino, Calif., for the world's record price of $320,000. While visiting the Circle M Ranch, they saw the sire of this bull, which was outstand ing in his own right, Benny reports that he also visited many auction yards and talked with many county agents, which in his opinion were just a little behind our local represen tatives. The whole family agree that this trip was very educational and inter esting, and that among all 16 states traveled, the cattle in the Rogue River valley are among some of the best. Most of all, the family sin cerely thanks Reler Fruit Co., owner of Table Top Hereford ranch, and Floyd Baker, general manager, tor making this trip possible. Debra Laureen, 6 lbs. 10 oz., is a new resident of the Rogue valley at present mak ing her home at the Rogue Valley Memorial hospital Mother and baby are doing fine, and papa Meeker, who expected a boy, is making the most of it. This is the couple's first child and was born June 29. They live here at the Table Top ranch. John Deaver, the Med ford implement dealer, stopped in a while back, and was telling us what causes farm surpluses. He said that 50 years ago farmers had to use most of their hay and grain to feed their horses and other stock. We wonder what John would do with all his tractors and modern power machinery if the farmers should go back to using horses? We have had some inquiries as to Herman Prlem's age since our story of Mm and the skunk. Some wise neigh bor has figured that if Her man threw wagon end rods at a skunk, it must have been a long time ago. . Siskiyou County Having Poor Year Yreka - "This is not a good year for Siskiyou county (Calif.)," George R. VanBus klrk, manager of the Califor nia department of employ ment, reported this week to the Siskiyou Dally News. VanBuskirk said that Siski you county's two main indus tries, lumber and agriculture, are not doing as well as ex pected.
