BY DOROTHY STEWART
Mail Tribunt Corropondant
Tennant, Calif. In years
past, this little community in
Siskiyou county was an old
logging community, which in
1954 was closed up and sold.
But today, the town of Ten
nant is experiencing a rebirth
as a community for vacation
ers, sportsmen and the re
tired." Clarence E. Bullock, for
merly of Galesburg, 111., is the
new owner of the town. He is
a retired industrialist who
came to the west coast and
heard of Tennant while in a
hospital at Alameda, Calif., to
undergo surgery.
Bullock has decided to
make Tennant into a place
where people can "get away
from it all."
The community is located
13 miles cast of Highway 97,
50 miles northeast of the city
of Weed, 4, MO feet up in a
beautiful setting amid tower
ing pines ar,d high mountains.
Invests $320,000
Bullock has already invest
ed some $320,000 into the
project, he reports, in order
to make the town more live
able. A portion of this figure
went into renovating the
main house, formerly occu
pied by the logging superin
tendent. The old house has now
been modernized for Bullock
to use as a private home. It
has five bedrooms, two bath
rooms, living room and
kitchen.
Others of the buildings
have been modernized as
well, with gas heating provid
ed for and a sewer system
installed. The town's water
supply is principally from An
telope creek, whose waters
come directly from Mt. Shasta
and have been declared by
government authorities to be
among the purest to be found
in the world.
Store-Restaurant
Another building Bullock
has had renovated is a store
restaurant which has been
done up like an old-time gen
eral store, with a pot-bellied
stove for people to gather
around when there is a nip in
the air.
Some 102 buildings stood in
Tennant when it was vacated.
Bullock is making use of 80 of
them. The others are being
torn down. Many of the build
ings have been modernized
into homes with two or three
bedrooms, which will be of
fered for sale.
Bullock is in the process of
I setting up a public utilities
service district encompassing
the town, so that the commu
nity can be governed by a
board of five directors.
District Not Set Up
Some it families are now
living in Tennant permanent
ly, but as yet they are re
quired to pay nothing for the
utilities they are using, since
the utilities service district
has not yet been set up.
Tile creation of the district
will be submitted to Ihe peo
ple in Ihe area for vote. This
decision reversed an earlier
decision of Ihe Siskiyou board
of supervisors after the dis
trict attorney's office recom
mended against it. The board
went on record that Ihe dis
trict would he in the public
interest and ordered the elec
tion. Bullock's plans call for
making Tennant an attractive
place for both tourists and
more permanent residents. A
modern motel is proposed for
the use of people who want to
come up for short periods of
time to go hunting or just
relax.
Old Bunk House
Ironically, the motel will
be built on the site of an old
bunk house that once had 52
rooms and just one bathroom.
For the benefit of more per
manent residents, a school bus
runs daily to Dorris and Mac-1
Doel schools. A new church !
will be erected in the place of :
an old one. However, the old
church bell has been saved
and will be used in the new j
church.
Working with Bullock as
his chief superintendent on
the project is Wayne Christy,
who came down from Coos
Bay.
Work done on the town
was under the general super
vision of Earl Cummins of
Yreka. Carl Langford of Red-

Lack of Scientific
Exchange Expensive
Portland - HOT - The Ger
man minister on nuclear ener
gy and space technology says
lacks of free exchange of
scientific data among nations
of the free world leads to
duplication oi rcscarcn enoris
which are a waste of time,
money and brainpower.
Dr. Sigfried Balke, a Port
land visitor Tuesday, said the
exchange of experience and
know-how should be liberal
ized in the western world.
He said that on occasion
German scientists have learn
ed of important American
scientific achievements from
the Russians before the U. S.
has informed Germany of
them.
Bull Killed After
Collision With Car
A young Jersey bull's bid
for freedom was brief this
week when it and a car, driv
en by Arty Ivan Laws, 48.
Rogue River, collided on In
terstate Highway 5 between
Rock Point and the Rogue
Riviera.
The bull was seriously in
jured and the car was heavily
damaged, state police said.
The animal had to be killed.
Laws, a Rogue River city
councilman, was driving
through the fog and couldn't
see the bull in time to stop,
he told police. Owner of the
bull was John W. Childers,
route 1, box 172, Gold Hill.
Laws, his wife, Lauraine,
42, and a daughter, Elizabeth,
18, were shaken up, but didn't
require immediate treatment.
