Table Rock The rain of Monday and Tuesday which
was unlike the showery type broke a long dry spell and
was of great benefit to pastures and many growing
crops. Although unusual at this time of the year, it has
happened before. We remember the month of August
a long time ago when grain was cut with what was called
a header and stacked in the field where the threshing
rigs set along side of the stacks. The grain in the straw
was run through the separator into sacks which were
sewed and taken to market. This separating rig was run
by a steam engine. A crew of some 17 men and about
8 horses, sufficied to keep things moving from 6 in the
morning to B or 9 in the evening. If our memory serves
us right the wet spell lasted for more than a week.
Then the sun came out, and we had plenty of warm
weather, but the tops of the stacks had to be thrown off
and let dry before threshing.
Th. Modern Way
The threshing this year in this community was done
by Buddie Robinson who lacked only a few hours of
having the job done when the rain put a stop to opera
tions. Much of this harvesting work has passed out of
the picture. Now the whole job is done with a self pro-
TALL BARLEY In the picture is a Portland lass in a Table
Rock barley field, with lower Table Rock in the background,
and showing the barley almost as tall as the girl. Miss
Debbie Richardson's picture was taken in Grampy Richard
son's barley field, which has since been harvested by the
Robinson combine and yielded about 2 '4 tons per acre,
with a measured bushel test of some 50 lbs. Much of the
grain grown in this area is market through the Grange
Cooperative Supply, assn.
pellcd combine, the driver sitting high above the dust
steering the machine, cutting a 12 foot swath with the
threshed grain going into a tank. It is then run down
' a spout into a grain truck where it goes rapidly over a
I paved road to market. Some change from when they used
to tromp tut the grain with horses and a man carried a
scoop shovel to make it sanitary. Wonder if they had a
wheat surplus then?
To those who are frequently saying they believe in
supply and demand, we would say that the farmers are
supplying, while maybe they can furnish the demand at
live and let live prices.
The Jess Elder family who have resided here on the
Table Top Ranch for the past six years have moved to a
house in the 3000 block on the Table Rock Road. The
Elders have been good neighbors, and will be missed by
their many friends here. Jess Elder has been a pain in
the neck to local rattle snakes, so perhaps they will
have a field day if they find that he has left this area.
Oregon weather can be depended on to furnish some
thing to write about as it changes so often. Ray Wyatt, ,
reports that his rain gauge at the Table Rock Store re
corded 1.15 inches of water up to 7 o'clock Thursday
morning.
Warm Spot In the Heart
We have always had a warm spot in our heart for
the grand old State of Oregon with its wonderful climate,
scenery, timber, and fertile soil and its democratic
system whereby the initiative and referendum laws the
people really rule, or can, if they get out and vote.
Some times our feeling for Oregon almost gets us into
trouble. We remember one time when we were working
for Dr. Ray, some 50 years ago, at the Gold Ray dam,
there were about a dozen of us, most of them from
other states. We were waiting for the dinner bell when
someone commenced asking where they came from,
and why they came here. The last one asked said he
came from Arkansas, and how he came to be here was
because he took an off hand shot at the world and hit
it square in the hind end (not his exact words). Most
1 of the fellows laughed, but we resented his remarks
' and felt like kicking him right where his offhand shot
I hit the World, but as he weighed about 170 lbs. to our
i J35, and working men those days had well developed
i muscles, we decided to just consider the source and let
I it go at that.
Machine Gun Chatter
Last Friday with our nephew, Dennis, and neice,
Debbie, we attended Bill Bray's one ring auction circus,
i where we found standing room only, and pens filled
with beautiful cattle. We were seated near Dennis, and
' during the sale Bill was bearing down on the bidders,
t who he thought weren't bidding enough for that kind
i of cattle. With his rapid fire machine gun chatter, it
i Was hard to keep up. We noticed Dennis was quite inter-
csted, so we leaned over and asked him what Bill was
i saying. He quickly replied, "I don't know." No reflec
i tion on Bill s selling ability is meant here. Dennis
i wasn't going to buy anything, anyway. Debbie wanted
' a pony, but since has settled for a transistor, so like the
old lady with rings on her fingers and bells on her toes,
she shall have music wherever she goes.
Local cornfields here which were badly nipped by
frost some time ago seem to be making a complete re
covery. Thought for the Day Friendly Americans make
America friends.

Tile county surveyors re

property located at the north
end of N. "B" street and the
Margaret Peachey property
was presented to the council.
Four possible surveys were
made with esch starting from
a different directional stake.
In all cases portions of the ex
isting city park under dis
pute belong to the city of Ea
gle Point. The city attorney
told the council he had not
contacted Mrs. Peachy's law
yer but would do so before
the next meeting
Mrs. Betty Huson asked the
j council to vacate 66 feet of
road on the front of the Jake
and Winnie Brown property
now being held in estate. This
land was believed to have
been owned by her parents
and has a house, milk house,
and barn located on it.
Mrs. Huson was advised to
consult her lawyer and the
lime insurance company
first.
Selection
Gold Hill
Gold Hill Selection of
site for a new Pacific Power
and Light substation was dis
cussed at the Gold Hill City
Council meeting Monday
night.
H. D. Force, chairman of
the city planning commission,
and Lyle Sams, a representa
tive from PP&L, attended the
meeting. Sams spoke to the
council about two sites his
company is considering.
He explained that the loca
tion preferred by the com
pany is the Bozy T e p o v a c
property at the west end of
town. Tepovac he said is
willing to sell. The second
site being considered is the
location of the present sub
station.
Want On Record
The council had previously
gone on record to recommend
the Tepovac property as a lo
cation for the sub station pro
viding there were no objec
tions from residents in the
area.
In the meantime, three dif
ferent families have stated
their opposition in letters to
the council. Sams was inform
ed of these letters Monday
night and asked by the coun
cil to consult these people.
since this particular site is
in the residential area it
would be necessary, Sams
was told, to hold a public
hearing with the city plan
ning commission to give all
residents in the area an op
portunity to voice their oppo
sition or favor of a variance
in zoning. Then the planning
commission would make a
recommendation to the coun
cil which has the final say on
wnetner or not a variance
would be given.
Sams was told by the coun
cil that if his company de
cides to build at their present
location no variance would
be necessary.

of Site for PP&L
Building Debated
rest area with public rest
rooms on Southern Pacific
property to accommodate
tourists was turned down by
the council. The proposition
was submitted by the Gold
Hill Chamber of Commerce
in response to a request made
by Airs. Virginia Pluinmer
that such a project be pro
moted. Unanimous ODjection was
voiced by councilmen as to
the city entering into such a
project because of unestima
ted expense that would be in
volved to install sewer and
water mains, and mainten
ance expense.
Councilmen expressed the
opinion that the property un
der discussion would be of
more value to the area if de
veloped for business building
or industrial purposes. A
part of this property has been
suggested as a favorable site
for a new city hall, library
and community center since it
would be close to the present
park site and business dis
trict. Force, chairman of the
planning commission, agreed
with the council. He felt that
the city center is hardly the
proper location for a public
rest area since there is al
ready a well cared park and
two state parks nearby, the
