By R. E. 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

Fla. 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.
Some teachers and students
remembered taking their
books in their arms and mov
ing them over to this school
house at mid-year. The year
of the move remained contro-
coming school year. He will
attend school here this year
under the auspices of the
American Field service for
eign exchange student pro
gram. The youth, along with his
new family, is scheduled to
arrive at the Yreka Inn at
9:30 o'clock tonight (PDT) to
be welcomed by a reception
committee, including Charles
Cooley, mayor; Harry Creb
bin, president of the chamber
of commerce; Dr. Tom Preece,
superintendent of Yreka
Union High school and presi
dent of Rotary club; Stephen
Pueyo, principal of Yreka
High school; Mrs. Tom Dick
inson, AFS area representa
tive; Duane Miller, student
body president of Yreka High
school and AFS student repre
sentative; and members of the
student body.
The Friedmans have two
children - Larry, 15, who will
attend Yreka High school
with the foreign student, and
Janet, 11.
Happy Camp Track

Happy Camp-The new Go
Cart track will be initiated
with two days of racing here

According to Ted Jensen
of the Go-Cart club being or
ganized here, there will be
races for men, women and
children on September 2 and
3, at the track recently built
near the Lions Scout build
ing. In conjunction with the
racing events, the Lions club

and contests. Members of the

PEEK-POO "Trixie," who belongs to Mr.
and Mrs. Edward Glasscock of Bandon, Ore.,
is a cross between a Pekinese and a poodle
and is considered by some to be a new breed
of dog. Medford dog breeders, however, fail
to recognize the breed as registered, even
though the dogs are becoming more and
more popular. Trixie, who is six weeks old,
is expected to weigh a total of three pounds
at maturity. The cross of the Pekinese or
lion dog of China dates back many years,
Board Discusses
Yreka - A county tax rate
and a new women's prison
were discussed here earlier
this week at a meeting of the
Siskiyou county board of sup
ervisors. 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.
The board acted on what
has been termed "inside in
formation," in requesting that
