Tablets
Table Rock - A real estate
deal was recently consumated
giving Gerald Messinger, of
Van Nuys, Calif., ownership
of an 80 acre tract of farm
land located in the northwest
part of the Table Top ranch.
Messinger, an architect, will
probably establish a business
in Medford and with his wife
and two teen-age children
live there until a house is
built on the new property.
The land lies between the two
Table Rocks. Snyder creek
flows through it and it has
access to three roads, the
Table Rock-Sams Valley rd.
on the east, Tresham lane on
the north and a gravel road
on the west. According to the
county water master, the
Table Rock Ditch Co. has
granted his application for
water for the tract which will
be used for raising cattle. This
transaction was handled by
Max Cramer, farm salesman
for the Pickell Real Estate
Co. of Medford.
Kerby T a n t, government
trapper of Reese Creek, is a
surgery patient at the Rogue
Valley hospital with a knee
injury received some time
ago. Those needing help in
protecting their livestock can
call Mrs. Tant who will con
tact friends who have offered
to help during Kerby's con
finement. Mr. and Mrs. Orville Hamil
ton and son Ernest, were holi
day visitors with daughter
Jean and family at the James
Lewis home in Forest Grove.
Foggily speaking - Donald
Richardson, the Portland law
yer, down here with his fami
ly for the holidays, started
out Saturday afternoon for
the Agate Beauty salon. Blind
ed by the fog, he went far
past, finally getting his bear
ings at Four Corners, and
then not by sight, but by scent
from Bill Bray's auction yard.
So Bill's auction yard is not
only a great asset to valley
stockmen, but acts as a guide
post to travelers during foggy
weather. Don probably told us
this to make us believe that
Portland doesn't have this
type of weather. But we have
been in Portland when the
fog was so dense that pedes
trians actually collided with
each other while traveling on
the sidewalks. This was
good many years ago. Maybe
Portland weather has im
proved over the years.
Charley Hoover, the desert
shiek, was over this way last
Saturday and left us a beau
tiful little spruce tree.
Last Saturday afternoon
while Benny Peek, herds
man at the Table Top Here
ford ranch, had his crew
moving some of the show
cattle, they became con
fused in the dense fog,
bolted and ran down a lane
to the highway with the
crew behind them, trying
to get them under control
but unable to see them due
to the fog. A car coming
from the opposite direction
hit the cattle head on, kill
ing two and doing exten
sive damage to the ear. The
two animals killed were
among the prize - winning
show stock and highly
valued.
The Lucky Garrison fami
ly, who have lived here at
the Hull orchards for the past
six years, where Garrison has
been employed, are moving
to Eagle Point about the first
of the year.
The Christmas program at
the schoolhouse Friday night
was well attended considering
the weather. Some 60 people
braved the fog. With a good
program, and the prevailing
Christmas spirit, every one
seemed to have a good time.
Old Santa proved to be very
interesting, especially to the
young fry, who had all been
good.
Santa surprised one lad
who had been "extra good"
by telling him he heard he
had been close to the border
line at times. Lois Smith was
so pleased with what Santa
brought her. that she smack
ed him on the cheek with a
kiss.
The Vernon Gebhard fam
ily were holiday visitors with
Mrs. Gebhard's parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Lonard King, at
Eugene, Oregon.
A better than usual num
ber of local people and visi
tors attended Sunday's ses
sion of the local Sunday
school. Among the visitors
were Mr. and Mrs. D. D.
Randall, of Medford. and
Donald Richardson, Diane,
Dennis and Debbie, from
Portland. An appropriate
program by the children
was enjoyed by all,
Last Tuesday, we got into a
white shirt, but had to have
help to get the throat latch
fastened, and drove to the
Episcopal church in Medford,
where we witnessesd the Hamilton-Samson
wedding. This

Indian Tribe To
Perform in Eagle
Point January 3
By DOTTIE HARBISON
Eagle Point - The Moon
Mountain Indians under the
direction of Bob and Richard
Thorpe will present an Indian
tribe in a program of Indian
dancing at the Eagle Point
Grange hall Jan. 3 at 8 p.m.
Lecturer Mrs. Delton Steph-
ensen stated that this meeting
is open to the public free of
charge.
The Moon Mountain Indian
Dancers is a non-profit organ
ization instituted by Richard
and Bob Thorpe for the pur
pose of preserving and teach
ing Indian lore and crafts and
history of the American In
dian. Thorpe's grandmother
was a member of the Mohawk
tribe, one of the six tribes of
the Iroquois confederacy in
New York state. His family
are all members of the tribe.
. Because of the background
and stories he heard when
small boy, Bob's interest in
Indian lore, especially danc
ing, has been a high point in
his life sines he was four
years old. The formation of
the Moon Mountain Dancers
and the Moon Mountain Pres
ervation is the culmination
of his and his father Richard's
plans, although they are just
getting started. Bob is pres
ently in the United States
armed forces but is home on
leave.
Richard and Bob Thorpe
have purchased a large acre
age . near Rogue River and
have turned it into a camp
site for the purpose of pre
serving the almost forgotten
legends, dances, crafts, pow
wows, lores, and study and
research of the colorful Amer
ican Indians. Thorpe has built
an animal refuge and a work
shop where crafts are now
being taught to any youngster
interested free of charge. He
is in the process of building
a dormitory where the tribes
may stay during the winter
months. It is their goal to
have a riding stable and have
the entire mountainous acre
age built up for use ot any
group or organization for
camping, fishing, dancing,
singing around camp fires and
a place where they can teach
youngsters the Indian lore.
Thorpe said he hoped to have
the entire village ready soon
so the public can come out
and watch the dances and for
gotten ceremonies of earlier
days.
The Moon Mountain Danc
ers have already become a
familiar group in this area
They made their first ap
pearance in complete Indian
costumes at the 1958 Gladio
lus festival and since have ap
peared publicly at such places
at scout and club meetings,
round-ups, parades, and con
ventions throughout the Unit
ed States. Richard Thorpe has
taught Indian lore for over
40 years with his son Bob
starting the Indian dancers
about four years ago. Anyone
interested in this sort of pro
gram is welcome free of
charge at the preservation,
Thorpe stated that many of
the legends about the Indian
are not true - even the name
Indian is confusing.
The expression "red marr
was used to describe the In
dian by white traders and the
pioneers who left their homes
in the East to travel across
the country, risking their lives
and braving untold dangers to
settle the lands in the West
that were the homes of our
American Indians. A few of
the Indians painted them
selves with red oxide. Actu-
lly, the color of the Indian
varies from light yellow or
olive to very drak brown, ac
cording to Thorpe. Their eyes
vary in color from blacK,
brown or hazel, to gray or
even blue; their hair from
straight coarse black to soft
brown.
Thorpe stated that they
need to have an organization
or group help sponsor the
group if they are to continue
with their project here in the
Rogue valley or he would be
forced to go elsewhere. This
is a non-profit group with the
youngsters making their own
costumes but he stated that
a group to handle publicity
and other things is needed
badly.
wedding in this church, and
the ceremony, setting, and all
was very solemn and impres
sive. At the reception we met
many relatives, and friends,
some of them of long stand
ing. Doc Inskeep asked about
our health, and we told him
we had worn out some three
or four doctors and might live
to wear him out. After some
of the ladies kept telling us
how lovely we looked framed
in a white shirt, we became
suspicious, and decided that
the little woman had some
thing to do with this, thinking
this would cause us to don a
white shirt more often.
The Landrace breed of
swine, Imported from Den
mark, Is increasingly popular
with Canadian breeders.
