4 B Regional Roundup by Cleva Twilchell Mail Tribune Regional Editor Being regional editor, we suppose, also entails acting as sort of a travel editor on a small scale, and so per haps we should, from time to time, report on impres sions gained while traveling about the southern Oregon countryside. It should be remembered that the re gional editor is a relative newcomer to this area. We will try to avoid insulting the intelligence of the many readers who undoubtably are more familiar with the state of Jefferson than we are. Having already visited the new Copco lake in Siski you county and Lake Selma in Josephine county, the family and I decided last week that it was about time we toured some of the lakes of Jackson county. We didn't get to all of them, but our little tour did include overnight camping at Willow Creek reservoir and brief stops at Fish lake and Lake of the Woods. (That Lake of the Woods title threw one member of the family who kept trying to call Fish lake "Fish of the Lake"). We found Lake of the Woods the prettiest, but also enjoyed the stiff breeze and Invigorating atmosphere of Fish lake and the nice view of Mt. McLoughlin (now you know I'm a newcomer) at Willow Creek reservoir. A particular delight was a section along the road between Willow Creek and Fish Lake where the for ests have not been logged. It had rained the night be fore and the foliage was a lush green glistening in the few rays of the sun that could get through to the ground. We passed Willow Prairie Campground on that road, which we understand through subsequent conversation with a Rogue River National Forest representative is an old campground now being improved. It looked most inviting. A few miles from Fish lake we came across the construction of the Winneinucca-to-the-Sea link between Eagle Point and Lake of the Woods. II makes present driving conditions in that area pretty rough, but promises a good road for the future. We concluded the trip with a swing into Klamath county, down past Klamath Lake (big enough to re mind us of the Great Lakes) and Klamath Falls. , We were Impressed by the city's fancy and surprisingly long main commercial street. But after hearing four Jets go overhead in as many minutes, noting that gasoline was three cents a gallon higher than in Medford, and remembering one day last winter when KF had a high temperature of 2 and a low of -25, we decided we were glad we didn't live there. Siskiyou County News Yreka 1st Quarter Sales Highest in City History Yreka - State Sen.

Maddoxes Purchase MeClurg Home, Seek New Name For Hill Phoenlx-Mr. and Mrs. Ray mond Maddox, having bought the Doug MeClurg home on Graveyard hill, have been thinking of a new name for their home. The former owners called the place Easter Hill, because for years the churches of Phoenix walked up the hill and had Easter sunrise serv ices there on Easter morning. Since the churches no long er do this, the Maddoxes feel the name doesn't fit anymore. But 8-year-old Ronald, who has two brothers and a sis ter, says naming the hill is easy; he suggested his parents call their home "The Maddox Brothers and Becky?" Well, why not? Some investments stop paying off when you redeem them. But with U.S. Savings Bonds, you keep getting benefits long after you get back $4 for every $3 you put in.
