O FRIDAY. OCTOBER 7. 1960 Tablets r R- I. NEALON I Table Rock The Doyle Hodges family of Trail, were callers here Sunday. Hodges does construction work in the U.S. services, and is leav. ing shortly for Okinawa for another two year hitch. He states that he got his present position, which he very much desired, through the efforts of Congressman Charles Por ter. Mrs. Hodges and children will follow in about three months, so the family will be together, D. D. Randall of Medford, past missionary for the Amer ican S.S. Union, was a visitor Sunday, at the local Sunday school. Recent news notes about the growth of valley cities and the big increase in 1910 reminds us of when we took the Central Point census in 1920. That year our count showed 600 people, maybe a few more or less, in the boun daries of the city. Ten years later in 1930 the population had doubled, there being al most exactly 1200 in our count. Far Cry If Central Point had kept doubling every ten years, it would be quite a city by this time. We don't know what in crease, if any, was shown by the last census, but the city as it is today, is a far cry from what it was when we first re member it. The streets were flat and muddy in the winter, and dusty in the summer. All traffic those days was with horses. There were hitching racks on both sides of main street where farmers and traders tied their horses. There were no meters as the city dads hadn't learned this way of fi nancing the city. There was a horse watering trough, pitch er pump, and tin cup on the south side of main street, which had plank sidewalks for some distances in the prin cipal business part of town. Two churches, a Baptist and Methodist both on the north side of town, took care of the spiritual needs. There were two places to eat, one of which was a hotel with a bar where liquor was sold by the drink, located where the Krupp service station is now. One saloon, some say two in other parts of town. One liv ery stable, owned by Ike Wil liams on the corner where the C o 1 1 e y building now stands. Later there was an other livery stable on the west side owned by Bill Fer guson. Three blacksmith shops, two on the south side of Main st. and one on the north side kept shoes on the horses, and vehicles and ma chinery repaired. A flour mill put up by the Farmer Alliance and Indus trial Union on the north side was a competitor of the Daley mill at Eagle Point that made Snowy Butte flour. The school facilities were a wooden building where the present brick schoolhouse is located. On barber shop on the south side of Main st. where hair cuts were 25 cents, and shaves 15, or both for 35 cents. Dr. Hinkle had a drug store operated by Miss Mary Mee where you could get quinine mixed with whiskey for malaria, a dis ease many people had, es pecially in the country dis tricts. There was a wooden Jail house, or callboose, just a lit tle ways south of the new city hall, and one Saturday night while attending some func tion, we saw seven young men hauled to the Jail, one at SANK MOHAN . HAKXB DAY OK NKJHT I Ask oi about our OREGON FUNERAL INSURANCE PLAN which w htartily recommend and endorse. a time, on a wheelbarrow, where they were locked up for the night. The had indulg ed in too much liquor at one of the bars. This was before prohibition, and during prohi bition we saw this same Jail used for storing grain. The one called on to settle fights or disorders was Bart Patrick, the constable, who lived west of town a short distance and rode a white mule. Bank Established A bank was established by J. O. Isaacson, about 1908, as near as we can learn, and the first bungalow was built in 1905, according to Mrs. Char ley Sanderson. Sewers, and a dug well, water system came in 1910. We remember attending a party given one night by the Odd Fellows lodge, which had been organized only a short time. It was a hot night, and they had a large crock filled with cold lemonade, another crock beside it contained wa ter. A tin dipper was used to drink with, and to make things sanitary, you were supposed to rinse the dipper in ine crock containing wa ter. As thirsts were quenched the lemonade got lower, but the rinse water stayed about the same. A lady whose eve- sight wasn't too good came in late,, dipped into the rinse crock, took a few swallows, and exclaimed, "You call that good lemonade? It's the poor est I ever tasted." Today, we find in Cen tral Point.- paved streets, more being paved, water from the Big Butte springs via Medford, . modern busi ness establishments, a clean modern city hall, which we visited recently, an alert, and uniformed police force, an all-lime Judge or city ad ministrator, and a modern city jail in place of the old calaboose. Ernest Lyman, the Gold Hill Democrat, was telling us how to combat inflation. Said he knew a family back in de pression days with several children, and more expected. The shack they lived in little better than a tent, the soil dry and rocky. He asked the man how he managed to sup port the family, knowing that he only got a small sum each month from the county.. He replied that when the family Increased or appetites grew, he just added more water to the soup. Ray Wyatt was telling us his wife has just received an electric dishwasher, a present from son Kenny, in Hayward, Calif. Ray seemed to be very much elated about the pres ent, and caused us to wonder if he has been doing some old style dish washing. Paul Rynning, county engi neer for many years, and now a candidate for commissioner, was a recent Table Rock visi tor. We remember when we first took up our duties as a member of the county court at $5 per day. The days we worked were paid in war rants which the bank dis counted 10 per cent. The late Victor Bursell told us that we would probably think Ryn ning was too particular about the building of roads, making the cost higher than If he was not so precise. But he said that after the job was fin ished, we would be glad he had done it the way he did. . Potato digging started this week on the J. L. Nealson farm. Rally Held The Sunday school rally held Friday night at the schoolhouse was attended by IT COSTfe NO MORE FOR IT COSTS NO M0F, TO BE "CERTAIN" SNOOOA5I, RIMMM BBSCTOal 'rKXSPJ-1039 o Quick Action Averts Boll Weevil Threat Hornbrook California's cotton crop was threatened for a brief time last week, as some Oklahoma cotton boll weevils arrived in Hornbrook courtesy of the postal service. However, the threat was averted by some keen ob servation of an alert sev enth grade student. A cotton plant was brought to the classroom of the Hornbrook seventh grade by the son of Louis Hutchins. The plants had been sent by mail from a Hutchins relative in Okla homa. Unknown at the time, the plant was infest ed with the dreaded boll weevil. When Larry Michaels went home from school that day. he told his dad George Michaels, "I saw a live boll weevil at school today." The alarmed Michaels told his son that this was an impossibility. "There aren't any weevils in Cali fornia," Michaels said. He located a book con taining pictures of boll weevils. When Larry saw the pictures he said, "Thai's the one I saw at school to day." Convinced that his son wasn't fibbing. Michaels notified Jess Grisham, Sis kiyou county agricultural agent, who confiscated the plants and exterminated them. (Note: Orisham will be notified immediately the next time Larry Michaels comes home from school and tells his dad about the strange looking insects he saw that day.) Happy Camp School Teacher Replaced Happy Camp The re placement for James Ready, eighth grade teacher who ac cidentally shot himself in a hunting accident last week, is Robert L. Shaefer of Long Beach. Shaefer, 35, was born in Erie, Pa. although he claims Long Beach as his home. He was graduated from Long Beach State college in 1957. He has had no teaching expe rience prior to coming here. Since his graduation he has been an electronic technical writer'. He was also active in the Little Theater group of Hermosa Beach. During World War II he served in the Mer chant Marine. From 1951 to 1957 he served in the submarine Navy aboard the SSN Seawolf and the SSN Nautilus Shaefer is not married and this is the first time he has been in northern Calif.
