F. Huson, president, tonight at 8 o'clock. Here for the meeting is J. Foster, representative of the parent organization from Evanston, 111. He will pay his annual "service call" In prep arations for the annual mem bership drive. The local association is planning to hold the drive in the spring of 1963 rather than waiting until fall. There are many reasons for this move, according to Mrs. Huson. It has been noted in recent years that top flight artists are being booked far in ad vance and it is difiicult to fill the season's needs if booking is delayed until fall. Last fall the association's membership campaign was held in a month when other efforts of a similar nature were being undertaken, and community efforts were di vided. To take care of the needs of Southern Oregon college students, a block of tickets will be set aside for their pur chase in the fall.

(UPI) Siskiyou County's Famous People Listed by Speaker Yreka - "Famous People Who Have Lived in Siskiyou County" was the topic of a talk given by Mrs. Ella Soule' before the Siskiyou County Historical society at their re cent meeting at the museum. Approximately 80 members and guests attended. Lewis M. Foulke, program chairman in troduced Mrs. Soule, who is a native of Siskiyou county, born and reared in the Little Shasta area and who was and still is active in several or ganizations. Lotta Crabtree was the first on Mrs. Soule's list of famous people. She was an entertain er who sang and danced and told Jokes for the miners. There is a marker erected in front of Con Brown's place of business in Yreka where Lotta once entertained, she was born In New York, her moth er was a seamstress, wno worked for actresses in the theater, sewing their ward robes and because she was the family breadwinner had to take her little girl Lotta along with her. The father was a ne'er-do- well who was always trying to strike it rich, but never made the grade. The child was very appealing and the ac tresses taught her little dance routines and songs. The fath er came to California and sent for his family and they lived in Grass Valley next door to the famous actress, Lola Mon tcz, who suggested the child be taken to mining camps to entertain miners who were very lonely for their own chil dren. Success She was a success and made a great deal of money; miners were known to have thrown gold nuggets on the stage af ter her performances. In later life she was very wealthy and extremely charitable. Wat Governor William Irving, who was at one time a resident of Yreka and lived on Lane street, was Governor of California in 1875. He was also a state sen ator, the first president of the county fair, editor of a paper, and worked on the sanitation commission, which was state wide. Dr. Flcmmlng G- Herns was one of the men of the party who discovered gold in Yreka at the Thompson Dry diggings and that started the gold rush to that area. He at one time was a city trustee, and was re sponsible for starting many lodges in the community. He was a dentist. D. D. Colton, sheriff of Sis kiyou county in 1852, was serving in that capacity when an angry mob of Greenhorn people descended on the jail and caused a jail break which resulted in a bloody battle be fore it was quelled. He also was the publisher of a news paper. Joaquin Miller Joaquin Miller, whose real name was Cincinnatus Heine, was another who lived in this area. He is noted for his many poems and books. He married an Indian girl and lived among her people for a time before going to San Francisco. His wife returned to her peo ple, with their child, a little daughter. Joaquin Miller changed his name at the time he helped some Mexicans drive horses south. He did not become famous until going to London, England. There he be came the "lion" of London society. Mark Twain Mark Twain did not come to Yreka, but got material for his writings from miners, who went to Tuolumne, where he lived. He said that Bret Hart taught school here and was also a messenger for Wells Fargo. Hart published a pa per. He gave up his book writ ing for a' $10,000 a year job writing for a paper. Mrs. Soule' also mentioned John Rhorcr, a pioneer who opened the Franco hotel, a bakery in Oregon known as Jackson bakery, built the first cabin in Shasta valley and was the first to climb Goose nest mountain; J. K. Luttrell, Scott valley, who was a U.S. congressman; John Doggclt, also of Scott valley, who was assemblyman for 24 years; Lt. Governor Pyle, who was the first postmaster; L. M. Foulke, who was the father of the pro gram chairman, and Lewis Foulke, a state senator, in spector of internal revenue for the five western states, when Grant was president. Mrs. Soule' ended her dis course by saying that not 'all Siskiyou county's famous peo ple were dead. She mentioned Randolph Collier, who is the oldest California state senator in years of service and noted for his state highway program, and Lauren Payne of Ft. Jones, who is popular here and in England for his west ern stories. He is an author ity on western history. All reside in the county.
