Hodges family of Trail, were
callers here Sunday. Hodges
does construction work in
the U.S. services, and is leav.

states that he got his present

desired, through the efforts
of Congressman Charles Por

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

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.

week on the J. L. Nealson
farm.

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.)
