For All Your

JANUARY 23, 1961
issue, the major work in the
book entitled "Fort Jones
1852-1858," was written by a
former Hornbrook man, Laur
an Paine, now living on his
ranch near Ft. Jones. The
"Pioneer" has this to say of
the author, Lauran Paine,
direct descendant of Tom
Paine, American Revolution
ary War patriot and writer, is
also descended on his moth
er's side from Don Pio Pico,
last Mexican governor of Cali
fornia. "Born and reared in t h e
American West, a working
cowman by trade and heri
tage, Lauran Paine is ac
knowledged by Americans as
the foremost authority on his
part of the United Slates. An
outstanding horseman and cat
lleman, and historian of the
West without peer, cither by
blood or ability, he knows
first-hand of the things he
writes about."
"He was present at the
last revolution in Mexico
In fact was in the slableyard
when the rebel leader was
shot. He has lived among
American Indians, travelled
extensively throughout North
and South America, and is
above all else an authentic
American westerner."
Among the many books
written by Mr. Paine is one
entitled, "Conquest of the
Great Northwest," which
deals with the settling of Ore
gon and Washington in the Co-
lgmbia river basin area, and
of the Immigrants' struggle
for the conquest of the In
dians in the Oregon territory.
The report In the yearbook
of the membership committee,
prepared by the chairman of
the committee, Karl V. Den
ny, shows that the Siskiyou
County Historical society con
tinues to maintain the largest
membership of any county
historical society in Califor
nia. The report lists a total
membership of 1,088.

Personally
Speaking
By JOHN STAFFORD
Oregon is a beautiful state
and one of the factors con
tributing to this beauty is the
variety Oregon offers. This
was demonstrated impressive
ly by an experience we had
Saturday morning.
Friday night the Rev, King
Jones, Jacksonville Presbyte
rian minister, called us and Is
sued an Invitation to accom
pany him and two other
Rogue valley newsmen to Ml,
Ashland. We accepted imme
diately.
At 9:30 a.m. Saturday we
joined Jones and headed for
the mountain. The tempera
ture in Medford was nearing
the 70 degree mark when we
left. By 10:15 we were at Bull
Gap, 'IV-i miles from the sum
mit. Although we were only
45 minutes and little more
than 20 miles from Medford
plenty of snow surrounded us,
A few minutes after our
arrival Thomas Parker, Ash
land contractor, and inves
tor, descended from the
mountain with his Snow
Cat, Parker, known as Tom
mie to his friends, helped us
into the snow vehicle and
we started for the top trav
eling over about two feet of
snow.
Parker threw a rope to
Jones and he was pulled be
hind on skis to the first pla
teau. There five other skiers
grabbed ropes and were pulled
along to the ski area near the
summit. ,
About 15 skiers were merri
ly zipping down the slopes of
the mountain when we arriv
ed. Skiing conditions were
termed excellent. Three feet
of base snow existed with up
to four Inches of powder snow
in some places. This, after two
days of 70 degree tempera
tures at the floor of the val
ley. Parker said it would be
possible to ski at the location
into April.
Certainly no more perfect
ski setting exists anywhere.
From one side of the north
slope, Ml. McLoughlin juts up
majestically. On the same
slope one can view massive
Mt. Shasta. The sunny Rogue
valley floor can be viewed be
low. Fantastic is the only.
wordv which adequately do-
scribes the view.
.
As we settled next to a
fire tome skiers had built,
we looked up to the s'ummit.
It looked like it was about
a 70 degree angle down
from the top.: The skiers
told us that this was only a
beginner's slope. They said
more advanced slopes were
steeper and had more mow.
Talk of a ski resort on Mt.
Ashland has been going on
since late in 1960. Primary
need for development Is an
nll-wenlher road to the site.
The Ashland Economic Devel
opment commission has pre
pared a detailed report outlin
ing skiing conditions and pro
posed development of the
mountain. Tommie Parker lias
also had a hand in developing
the report, as have many ex
perienced skiers In the area.
The report was submitted to
the forest service and county
court late last year.
Parker has Indicated he
would be willing to finance
development of the resort if
O and C funds for the road
re obtained. Preliminary
plans call for about $185,000
lo be poured into facilities.
If funds for the road arc
obtained, the forest service
will put the development up
for bids. There Is no guaran
tee that Parker will be award
ed the bid for the project. This
doesn't bother him. He says he
only wants to see the area de
veloped, regardless of who
does the developing.
-
Meanwhile, ht is taxiing
hundreds ol people back
and forth to the mountain
on his Sno-Cat. Hit attitude
seams to be typical of those
interested in the project. It
is one ol tnlorming and
showing as many people at
possible the potential exist
ing on Ml. Ashland.
As Jack Nichols, advisor to
the Ashland Economic Devel
opment commission says,
"We've got a mountain, snow
and plenty of community In
terest." Eagle Point - The Scout
Community building commit
tee will meet in the teacher's
lunch room of the grade
school at 8 p.m. this eveniit);.
All committee chairmen and
Interested persons are urged j
to attend. '
New Happy Camp
Doctor Likes
Wide Open Spaces
Happy Camp - Dr. George
M. Chambers shed tears when
he left his practice at Covina,
Calif., to become a country
doctor in Happy Camp last
fall.
The tears weren't those of
sadness, however. "That darn
smog's too much," he said us
he rubbed his eyes. "Some
people have great ambitions
to go to the big city. Not
me!" said the doctor, born on
an Illinois farm. "I've always
wanted to be a country doc
with plenty of room to roam
and without the battle of
smog, high taxes, and uncon
trollable growth of a commu
nity." Dr. Chambers, who had
practiced in Covina since
1051, has purchased an 187
farm near Happy Camp,
where he will raise 80 head of
Black Angus cattle.
The opportunity to fulfill
his life-long ambition arrived
some months ago when the
lone doctor In Happy Camp
passed away. Chambers im
mediately made inquiries
about location in Happy
Camp. His plans were accept
ed with open arms.
The doctor, who was grad
uated from medical school in
1948, has high hopes of an
eight lo 10-bed hospital being
built in the area 'and the de
velopment of an emergency
air strip near Happy Camp.
Dr. Chambers and his wife
practiced in Sacramento in
1048 and 1949.
He then joined the Air Force
and served as a doctor in
Alaska from 1949 to 1951.
Then the family moved to Co
vina. "I've always wanted lo live
in a place where there was
plenty of landscape to raise
cattle and my wife has always
favored the fragrance of pine
trees. At Happy Camp we have
both," the doctor says. "And
we don't have smog and high
taxes."
Rural Reflections
By MAUDE ZIEGLER
Applegate Valley - His
state meat inspection position
notwithstanding, Bill Barker
found that, every single fluke
in a beef liver had eluded
him when he dissected a dis
eased liver at a general 4-H
meeting at Ruch school Tues
day evening. Bill explains
that when the animal heat
leaves the liver the parasites
absent themselves, but he
promises lo have some cor
raled at the next general or
ganizational meeting Jan. 31.
The life cycle of the fluke
was explained by Dr. R. G.
Burdett, of Salem, acting as
sistant superintendent of the
state meat inspection pro
gram, who was guest speaker.
He said the parasite lives on
snail life for a time and then
deposits itself on a cocoon on
a blade of grass wailing to be
eaten by a cow, after which it
makes its way to the liver to
complete lis cycle.
Dr. Burdett said the meat
inspection procedure in the
state has expanded since pilot
programs began prior to 1057.
Now there are 101 slaughter
plants Inspected in the stale.
Eleven slate veterinarians and
31 part time vets are on the
staff In Salem. He described
various types of inspection,
beginning with examination
after an animal has been un
loaded at a plant and comes
under slate control. It is pos
sible for an animal to have a
disease which does not show
symptoms. The head, heart
and liver are carefully ex
amined after killing, the Eng
lish doctor explained, and
may be condemcd. He said
recent use ot some medica
tions and sprays, such as peni
cillin and camphorated oil,
can also be a cause of defec
tive meat.
Among olher duties of the
Inspector are running sanita
tion checks on 2,000 meat
markets in the state exclusive
of Portland, checking 40 poul
try and rabbit planls and in
spection of 400 locker plants
tor sanitation and refrigera
tion, and Inspection of a few
rendering plants.
Accompanying Dr. Burriolte
was Charles Garret, butcher
at Farmers' Packing company
of Medford, where Barker Is
an Inspector. A number of
parents and 4-H people attend
ed the meeting.
Knttlit Point Rnv KrnnU
of Troop 48 will have n uni
form inspection and court of
honor at 7:30 p.m. In the
grade school gym tonight. All
parents are Invited.
