My f RAISES POPS Mrs. U. V. Howlett of Central Point shows off one of the Pekingese dogs she is raising. Pekingese Dogs Raised By Central Point Resident Central Point A.K.C. Pe kingese dogs are raised by Mrs. U. V. Howlett, of 3835 Crater Lake Hwy. A breeder of pedigree pups for years, ghe came to the Rogue River valley in 1936. At that time three of her eight-week old puppies were on display at the Monarch Seed and Feed Co., in Medford. They were comparatively rare here then. Her latest pet is a puppy, one of a litter of four, that is two months old and is the son of Rin Dee and Mi Tei Nei. The puppy has not been named as yet. She intends to keep him for her own pet. Pekingese dogs originally came from China, were smug gled out to England, then la ter were brought into Ameri ca. The golden color is the choice of the Chinese, and of many dog fanciers. It is said that the Chinese worship these dogs. Mrs. Howlett acquired her first Pekingese in Texas and has continued to breed and exhibit the choice champion dogs ever since. NORTHERN CALIF.

Tom Winningham, Reporter Flames Destroy Mill Near Moser Philomath, Ore.-(UPP-A fire destroyed the Moser Lumber Co. sawmill northwest of here Thursday night. Damage was estimated at $500,000. The blaze apparent ly started from a welding spark. The fire also destroyed a large amount of lumber in the mill. The mill employed some 50 men. A major crime is commit ted every 15 seconds in the U.S. 535-1382 Tablets By R. E. NEALON Mail Tribune Table Rock Correspondent Table Rock The story of the McGahuey execution by George H. Bell, Mail Tribune staff writer, in Mon days M.T. reminds us of similar instances where the death penalty was invoked in by gone days and that the majority of Oregonians must still believe in an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. ' This wretched sight witnessed by Bell will be re membered as long as he lives. His story brings to mind a story we heard father tell of a similar incident in his regiment during the Civil War. Three deserters were to be executed. Death was the penalty for desertion at that time. Father's company was lined up to witness, and help carry out the executions. A firing squad was picked out and given rifles to perform the task of killing the condemned men by rifle fire. Most of the rifles were loaded with blank cartridges. A few contained bullets, but members were not told which they had. The condemned men were seated on their coffins, hand-cuffed and blindfolds over their eyes. At the command to fire the shots were fatal to two, but one man was badly wodnded and in avny was making a terrific struggle to free himself. The captain handed his service pistol to a soldier and said to dispatch that man. The soldier took the pistol and walked up within a few feet of the wounded man and shot him through the head. Never Forgot Scent Although he had been in many battles where men were killed on all sides, father never forgot this scene. A man struggling for his life but tied and helpless being shot like an animal. In those days capital punishment was the order of the day in the army. Going to sleep on picket duty and other trivial offences called for it. In civil life the theft of horses called for the culprits to be hanged by the neck until dead. We have seen a picture of five men hanging by the necks from a bridge near Yreka, Calif. These men had stolen the horses in Jackson county, were chased out, captured, iand hanged near Yreka, according to the story. The Civil war executions were bad enough, but it seems to us they were better arranged than the Mc Gahuey execution. None of the firing squad knew whose shot did the killing. The victim couldn't see who was doing the firing, and in most cases death was instan taneous. We do not believe in capital punishment. Like Senator Morse, we believe that if God gave the life it should be His to do the taking. We suppose that if we were ever called on to push the button, since it's the law, we might do it, but first we would look for someone who believes in such things and turn the job over to him. Taken To Task Mrs. Buddy Robinson took us to task for telling in Tablets that the combine operator sits high up and out of the dust and dirt. Her husband is a combine operator, and she says when he comes home evenings he is so black and dirty she can hardly tell who he is. Well, that's what we got for paying too much attention to adver tisements. We were quoting what we read in the adv. "The operator sits high up out of the dust and dirt." Mr. and Mrs. O. F. Grogan, San Bernardino, Calif, were brief visitors at the Bert Pierce home last week, Mrs. Pierce is a niece of the Grogans. Harvesting is going full blast here, with the grain threshing about finished. First and second crops of alfalfa are baled, and the third is about completed. Pear picking is under way with an excellent crop on the trees. Sweet corn and cantaloupes are going to market. Some watermelons are getting ripe, but a short supply in prospect. Though,! for the day: Thou shalt not kill. Gold Hill Chamber Told City Opposed Park Idea Gold Hill John Cogswell, member of the Gold Hill Chamber of Commerce board of directors, reported at a chamber meeting earlier this month that the city council has turned down a chamber proposal for a rest area with public rest rooms to accom modate tourists. Southern Pacific property from the corner of Second ave. and Fourth st. to the Bridge was the site for the proposed project. The chamber acted in response to a request by Mrs. Virginia Plummer that such a project be considered by the city. Cogswell said the council is interested in seeing that area developed for busi ness and industrial purposes. The need for a sign that would designate the present city park as a rest area was pointed out. The chamber will HOME AGAIN Prospect Mrs. Mary Brown is home again from Crater Osteopathic hospital. It was her third visit to the hos pital after being involved in a truck and car accident here. She is still unable to work Visitors are welcome. J? m "1 MEETS RUSK Soviet Am bassador Anatoli r.

Mrs. Plummer told the Chamber that another Gold Hill co-operative business ad will appear soon in the Med ford Mail Tribune. Business people in the area of Gold Hill-Sams Valley-Rocky Point who are interested in having their business advertised should contact either Norman R. Matteson or Mrs. Plummer, co-ordinators for the commit tee of business people. Richard Abbott, president of the chamber, stressed that although the Chamber of Commerce sponsored this spe cific advertising program for local business people it is not involved in anyway with the advertising. A committee of business people have complete charge entirely separate from chamber functions, he said. Ralph A. James, chairman of the youth activity board here told chamber members that no more teen-age parties will be held after August un til next summer because of school opening in September. It was pointed out that a majority of teen-agers who participated in the parties will be occupied with aca demic work, sports and other activities after school com mences.
