8 B MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON , FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 18, I960 Tablets By Regional News Table Rock - John Stalford, regional edUor ol the Mail Tribune, the man who uses the blue pencil on our Tab lets, was, a visitor at our house Monday afternoon. Being new in the valley, he had some difficulty In finding our place, Dale Bartlcy, the meat slic cr at Faber's Central Point Market, told him we lived in the first house on the left from the corner near the Table Rock store, that we had one son living on our right, and one on our left, which was news to us. We found Stufford to be a youngster in his early twenties, who may find it difficult to teach an old dog new tricks. He has a good imagination, with plenty of energy to back up anything he plans, and sees many possibilities for feature stories in our beautiful valley. He doesn't drink coffee, but likes pumpkin pie straight. We didn't notice any bulge In his shirt pocket, or yellow fingertips, so suspect he does n't smoke. We didn't ask about his political beliefs, but under stand that he is pretty chum my with Menncn Williams, Democratic governor of Michi gan. He has served sometime in the U.S. Army, and gave us this definition of the Army, given to him by one of his buddies: "Organized by gen iuses, to be run by idiots." General Sherman,, of Civil War fame, had a definition for war which most of us know. , W. look a liitlt training in the R.O.T.C. in World War I, but it may bt a strain ' en our git-a-long to keep up the cadance with this younger soldier. But with him over - looking our ig norance, and we forgetting i his lender age, we will bal ance it up and gel along fine. , , ; ' . The white deer seen lately on the east slope of Lower Table Rock belongs to Jotin Day, who resides in the Gold Ray dam area, ' There are about a dozen in the herd. They are Chinese deer, the original stock imported from China by a Klamath Falls man. and later sold to John Day along wlln some ten or twelve buffalo. Both herds are kept In a several hundred acres fenced pasture bordering the Rogue River., We mentioned to our better half that we saw someone walking along talking to thomselvcs a few. days after election, and told her that with that kind of conversa tion one couldn't get into an argument. She answered with two words: "You could," Wcs McDonough, Sams Val- , ley farmer, has been harvest ing the local corn crop ior me past week and will soon com plete the- Job, weatner per mitting. ; ' Mrs. Ray Wyatt, a surgery patient in the Rogue Valley Memorial hospital, is reported to be getting along fine. One new flags has appeared In the community, the new one being flown at the Ernest Smith home on Veterans Day. While loitering along the - streets of Gold Hill awhile back, we noticed photo graph in the window of Norman Matieion's insur ance office showing four t men hanging by their necki. They had been "strung up" .for stealing horses. The pic ture was taken in the early days when the penalty ior a horse thief was more severe . than it li now for stealing a Cadillac. As we gazed on this grim picture we thought of ocens sions when a man would al most wish the Insurance agent was hanging with the horse thieves after his building had burned and he found he hadn't read the small print on his policy. Horse thieves are thing of the past and so is the small hard to read print on Insurance policies. Mrs. Laverne Cook who died Tuesday at her Medford home, was a former resident here some seven years ago. At last Saturday's meeting . of the Sams Valley Grange, Captain Dnllon Straus, farm er, and reserve officer In the U.S. Marines, was elected Master and will be Installed ! at a later date. The election took quite a little time, as ac : cordine to Grange rules, It must be by paper bnllol, and - the winning candidate must ' have a majority of all votes cast. Electioneering is not al lowed. The Irish seemed to be more plentiful than usual, ' so it was suggested that con sidering recent happenings, the song Irish Eyes Arc Smil ing would be appropriate, but Master Jerry Fitzgerald didn't , seem to be in that kind of mood. : ' We have been asked to re mind local folks of the Thanksgiving dinner to be held at the schoolhouse Fri day night, Nov. 18, ' Corraniiondenli: Upper- Applcsute Valley Muudo Zlegler: Lower App le Vail, ey June".

He can stop at a farmhouse and be refused permission to hunt, then go around the bend in the road out of sight and shoot an old doe among the livestock In the pasture field, hoping not to get caught. Sneak under all the "No Tres pass" signs (with the excuse that he came out early when It was too dark to see) and kill an old doe In the corn field. An older retired couple have a heart-wringing story to tell. As they sat at their dining table, an excellent view of the hillside at the rear of their home was the object of their gaze. Here they often sal and watched an old doe with twin fawns, cute lit tle fellows still nursing. Then came hunting season. In the cold grey light of very early dawn, a shot rang out. The couple were awakened by the shot so close to tneir home Another shot, closer yet, so they got up to investigate. No deer were seen that day. Two days later the smell was evi dence enough. Yes, it was the old doc, just a short distance Irom the house. Another hunter leaned across a "No Hunting" post ed fence and shot into a field,, claiming he had wounded a "cougar", but was unable to find it. Hounds were brought in to track it down, and it was iound in a berry patch. The cougar turned out to be that family's large yellow torn cat. i The above mentioned are actual incidents of the hunt ing season. This is not just tne complaint ol a tew iarm ers along the Applegate, as Is evidenced by the ads in the paper with lists of names re questing "No Hunting". Not too many years ago ten or twelve farmers did com- No. 1 In A Series McLeod Correspondent Is A Writing Veteran joined the Mail-Trmune sum Editor's Note: The Mail Tribune is starling a series telling of each of our cor respondents. One article will appear each week. Look for the article about the correspondent in your area in the coming weeks. Mrs. Caroline Harding is a Mail Tribune correspondent with plenty of writing ex perience. The truth Is, Mrs. Harding has been writing for tho Mall Tribune longer than any of our full time staff members. ' ' Mrs. Harding received her first by-lino In 1020. She ""S-rN ' Ml & 9 V tf1 i Mi CAROLINE HARDING that year and has been a cor respondent in the McLeod area ever since. Caroline, as she Is known to all of her friends, has four children, all married. One of her daugh ters, Mrs. Dorothy Hume, teaches at the Elk-Trail school. When Caroline joined the Mail Tribune stuff in 1029, she had a journalistic back ground. Before she came to Oregon, she had been a writer for the Long Beach, Calif. Press-Telegram. Mis. Harding explains her love tor writing is due to the fact that "I love to interview people." Her most exciting moment as a correspondent came in 1054, when "I wrote the story about my own gold en wedding anniversary cele bration." Her late husband, Hurry, died a few .years ago. Caroline has been extreme ly active in McLeod affairs. She is a former past president of the Prospect Lions Auxili ary and was Upper Rogue Grange Master for two years. She spends her spare time relaxing at her homo on Butte Creek. She has lived there for 30 yours. She Is also an ar dent fishing enthusiast. Anyone in the McLeod area can puss on news items to Mrs. Harding by phoning TRinlty 8-2200. plain of the damage done by deer. The deer population did seem tremendous. Some of the old timers claimed that it was because the feed was short in the high hills so the deer were moving down where feed was easier to get. Alfalfa was not the natural feed for deer, so they grew poor and some be came sickly and died of nat ural causes. Special seasons were opened and they took a tremendous deer toil. The deer population de creased at a rapid rate. The damage that deer do to fruit trees, gardens and field crops is now small compared to the damage and danger caused by hunters. The highway follows the river at places. This certainly enhances the scenic beauty of the drive. Along the river is natural brushy growth, cotton- wood and alder trees, also part of the scenic beauty. On the other side of the river are some homes, which mean children, fields and livestock. These are not always visible from the highway. It is quite a sensation to have high-pow ered bullets whizzing past, to feel yourself in the direct line of fire, even though you know the cause of it all was another deer. When some of these hunt ers have been caught, their' reactions have been as vari ed as the hunters them selves. Some are - basically responsible men who suffer ed from "buck fever" and just didn't think. Some just saw a deer and felt it was theirs for the shooting. Aft er all, hadn't they pur chased a license and a tag? Those who have no respect for private property, indi viduals or their possessions are the greatest hazard to all. Gates have been left open, resulting in damage. Inconvenience and hot tem pers. Farmers hold the game commission to be at fault in permitting a doe season so late in the year. An either sex season during part of the regular hunting season would be more de sirable, in the opinion of farmers. If the question is raised about the farmers hunting, yes, they hunt. But, they prefer to hunt their deer in natural feeding areas, not in the alfalfa fields, tres passing on private property. Rogue River City Council Meeting Rogue River-Mayor John B. H. Leycn presided over the regular Rogue River ' city council meeting held Thurs day evening, Nov. 10, in place of the scheduled meet ing which would have fallen on election night.
