Newspaper Page Text18 A FRIDAY. AUGUST 31. 1962 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON T ... - . -J -, tt - - ' - t si " i v' I v7 All CP CANDIDATES Leslie J. Bigham (right) and Donald J.

NEALON Mail Tribune Table Rock Correspondent Table Rock A man who has been using our one-way road to go fishing became indigant when we told him this was a one-way road and our renter was moving farm equipment back and forth over it, we would have to stop other traffic on it. He was a. resident of Medford and seemed to think that since he paid taxes and didn't tear down our fences and gates, like some do, we owed him the privilege of going through our land to get to the river. We would remind him that we too pay taxes, not only on property but each time we go to Medford to shop, we have to cram a few Indian head pennies down the throat of a hungry meter, which we are told is used to help pay the salaries of those who keep Med ford ticking. Sam Lctterkins of the Grants Pass area was a caller here Sunday. Some 70 years ago he had a farm in the Beagle district, near what was then the Watt Beebe farm. He was going to show some relatives the old farm, but things have changed so much in the last 70 years that he couldn't find il and we were unable to be of much help. Finds Substance 'Aparently from Sky' We received a telephone call recently from Mrs. Hazel Hollifield of Kanes Creek, who had found in her yard a substance that had apparently fallen from the sky. She said the Civil Defense director told her we could probably tell what it was. We went to her place and found a substance some had called owl droppings, while others had called it mold, but we don't believe it is either one. It is white on the ou-ide, but when you take it in your hands, and crush ., it is black inside somewhat like carbon and undoubtedly has been burned and leaves smut on your hands like that in a stove pipe. Where larger specimens have lain on the ground for a lew days it looks as if the ground had been burned.' We have read the editorial's relative to Medtord's downtown merchants, which according to Wednesday's editorial by E. A. are in a state of ferment which Web ster's says means a stale of excitement or agitation. We expected something like this when shopping ceniers began to build up on the outskirts of Medford. This seems to be the trend to build a shopping center with plenty of free parking just across the creek or road from some thriving, but not too alert town and to take pages of advertising in local papers showing in many cases prices lower than downtown stores have been paying at wholesale. We went into one of -these stores to see if we could sell some farm produce which he had on his shelves at eight cents per pound. He promptly told us that from a profit standpoint he couldn't buy the local produce, as he got it from Portland for two cents a pound. Wc countered with the statement that from the profit standpoint we couldn't buy from those who didn't buy from us. Personally we like to deal with those we have known for these many years, and whose products are good or they make them good, if there is a complaint 'Keep Oregon Green'? On the side of a car we saw these words: Keep Ore gon Green. Inside the car was a pack of cigarettes and a book of matches two items that have blackened more of Oregon's acres than any other thing. Recent visitors at the J. S. Richardson home were Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Jones, from Sacramento, Calif. Mr. and Mrs. Jones are former residents of the Beagle com munity. Mrs. Jones taught in several Jackson county schools. Mr. and Mrs. Fredrie Rode and children David and Mary, from Redwood City, Calif., were week end guests at tiie J. S. Richardson home, and with Mrs. George Gardner of Medford. Rode is a grandson of Mrs. Gardner. They were returning from Seattle where they visited the fair. Another former school teacher who visited the Rich ardsons Inst Friday was Mrs. Eva McCoy of Sacramento, Calif. She was a member of the G. P. Hall family who resided here several years ago on what is now the Orville Hamilton farm and was active in social and religious activities in the community. Grandma Doran reports the arrival of Bruce Ray. a seven pound, six ounce boy, Aug. 23, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dale Shulz of Sams Valley. This is Mr. and Mrs. Doran's seventh grandson. Dennis Richardson, who has spent his vacation here with his grandparents at the J. S. Richardson home, left tor Portland by plane Thursday morning. Mr. and Mrs. Homer Edgecomb, and son Jerry, of Redding. Calif., were recent visitors here at the R. E. Ncalon home. Mrs. Edgecomb, the former Gwendolyn Houston, a former resident of this valley, teaches in California.

A telegram from Joe Wal ton in New York led to discus sion revealing that his former home was the old Payne schoolhouse, now the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Williams near Holland and that his mother was a teacher at KUHS. Many handshakes, recount ing of life's events and intro duction of families preceded and followed the picnic. Pic tures of old classmates many of whom were present, stimu lated tales of joy, hilarity and sadness. Mrs. Ferd Jones, who once wrote for the Medford Mail Tribune, and her husband, the principal at Kerby Union High school had a share in most of the recounted school esca pades and experiences. Bob Schumaker, whose father built the first grocery store in Cave City (now Cave Junction) on property pur chased from Elwood Hussey at the site of the present Model grocery, told how it burned to the ground and with it Cave City, which was after all, only a grocery and a few other buildings at that time. Bob's father rebuilt the store and it now houses the present grocery and market. Bob and his mother came from Tor rence, Calif., to attend the re union. Recall First Building Recollections of the first log building which held the high school and grades, before it was moved into each of sev eral other buildings in the same location and finally into the present main school build ing at Kerby, were related.

The supervisors adopted a county tax rate that is 25 cents lower than the 1961-62 figures. The rale will be S2.35 per 100 dollars assessed value. Ernest Johnson, county audi tor, said the decrease is due in part to the revenue realized through the county sales tax and an increase of $6,620, 395 in assessed value in the county. In other action, the board requested that a telegram asking first consideration for Siskiyou county regarding a possible federal women's penal institution site be sent to Sen. Thomas Kuchel and Sen. Clair Engle, as well as to Congressman Harold Johnson.
