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

trip. They visited Hereford

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. .

property. Unfortunately for
them, the county will not
maintain the road II it Is
locked and they were
warned that a $10 fine may
be levied for each day that
the road Is blocked.
Carter explained that
they had locked the road
last winter and the theft

To this Supervisor S. C.
