The regular meeting of the
Sam Valley Grange Satur
day night was well attended
by members, some of whom
were surprised when the sec
retary read the minutes of
previous meetings, telling of
business transacted, and that
the membership roll is now
at the 100 mark.
The lecturer had prepared
an excellent program which
was greatly enjoyed, especial'
ly by those who remember
World War One, and "A Long
T.nne. Trail A-Winding," and
other songs of that period.
Among the business trans
acted was the passing of a
motion that the Sams Valley
Grange enter the community
lervice contest sponsored by
the slate and national
Granges. One anxious member
remarked that during tne Dig
fire last month Grangers were
11 het up and hot for some
sort of fire protection But since
then had evidently cooiea on,
as no action of this kind has
o far developed. Copies of
the 1960 Rogue Basin report
were distributed to members.
and at the close of the meet
ing a watermelon feed was
held in the basement dining
R.ports from Sams Val
: ly farmers who produce
: alfalfa seed IndlcaU that a
fair crop Is being harvested
. there now, and that the al
, kail bees procured last year
' have don an excellent Job
, of pollinating. ,
In the Beagle, Sams Val
ley, and our local district,
good crop yields have been
' obtained, despite adverse
vreather . conditions, with
' cold, wet weather In the
" spring, followed by dry and
' hot weather during the bal-
anc of the growing season.
'. This kind ol weather makes
-. much litigation necessary,
: and where the sprinkling
system Is used, adds much
'. expense to crop growing.
Wes Wartmnn of Jackson
ville, was a visitor here Satur
day. Wes and his brother Lyle,
have been building bridges for
Jackson county for more tnan
40 years and have probably
driven more spikes Into bridge
planks than any dozen men
you could name.
;
Mr. and Mrs. Robert
DruKt and ion. of Grants
Pass, were Sunday visitors

Pierce home, Mr. Pruitt Is

. A dinner held Thursday at
the S. S. Richardson home,
honoring Robert Hamilton,
toon to leave for Dartmouth
to take up his college duties,
was attented by several rela
tives. Robert recently won a
scholarship.
One night last week hood
. lums raided a local vegeta
' ble stand and got away with
some melons. Also, a melon
. patch had nightly visitors.
This has caused the locking
of gates, and Installing
. alarm systems. Nearly any
melon grower would give a
melon to anyone who
couldn't aflord to buy one,
' but when premises are dis
turbed, and products scat
tered and destroyed, those
people are not melon hun
gry. Stealing melons reminds
us of when Central Point
was little, and had plank
sidewalks about four feet
wide. Watt Beebe had
brought wagon load ol
watermelons to town and
was unloading them at a
grocery store on the north
tide of main " street. To
hurry matters along, Watt,
who was always In a hurry,
would toss a melon from the
wagon across the sidewalk
to a store clerk, who would
lake it . Inside and hurry
back for the next one. Joe
shop near by, was passing
Just as Watt tossed a big
melon, ctught It, and went
Into his shop where he and
his helper had a melon feast.
Nothing was said about
the melon deal, but the next
lime Watt came to town he
went to the Boswell shop,
got a shave and hair cut,
and walked out, and when
Boswell asked if he didn't
Intend to pay for the serv
ice, told him to take it out
f the melon.
A shave those days waa

cents for the two. As melons
were worth about 35 cents

story which we thought very
interesting
He said Woodrow Wilson s
father was a Presbyterian
preacher, and drove a beauti
ful well-kept span of horses.
One day, when he drove up to
the store, a bystander looked
at his beautiful team, then
his patched and faded trous
ers, and remarked, "Preacher,
your horses look better than
you do." He answered, You
see, I take care of my horses,
my congregation takes care
of me
We hope church members
won t think this is meant for
any insinuation. We were just
amused at the preachers
clever answer.
Ernest Lyman, a good
Democrat of the Gold Hill
area, was a visitor here
Wednesday, talking politics,
and trying to spot any
would-be Democrats who

Thornton Calls for
Coroner Showdown
Eugene - (UPD Attorney
General Robert Y. Thornton
Thursday filed a petition in
Lane County Circuit Court
calling for a showdown in the
county coroner election bat
tle.
Thornton seeks to order
Harry Chase, Lane county
clerk, to put the office of
coroner on the general elec
tion ballot. A hearing was set
for Monday.
Thornton says that 21 of
Oregon's 36 counties are re
quired to elect coroners in
November but Lane County
District Attorney William
Frye has disputed the opinion.
Frye says election of the 21
coroners whose terms run out
this year was voided by a
1959 law doing away with
coroners starting In January.
The petition requested a
three-judge court, a rarity.
Thornton said three judges
were asked to rule on the issue
because of its importance
in the public interest."
