WHAT IS IT?- Katherine Chapman, the Mall Tribune Horn- brook correspondent, came upon this sight about a week ago while driving down towards Ashland from the Siskiyou sum mit. The object appears to be large propeller, perhaps on its way to power a ship to some destination. FEBHUAHY 1, IMS Regional News CurMBMMta and Thafr TaUnkiMia NuMkerai Tablets By R. E. Miil Tribune Table "The snow began in the gloaming and busily all through the night, heaping field and highways with a.' mantle pure and white." The local snow storm began here Monday afternoon and deposited some 3 inches on the ground, some of which is still with us. All the snow storms here we have known of, where snow stayed on the ground for any length of time, came in early January. Lee Caton, a one time resident here, told us about a New Year's eve dance in 1890 at the Jackson ranch, later called the Dodge ranch. This was in the horse and buggy days, but those without buggies rude horses. After square dancing all night (folks must have had more energy those days) when they started to get their horses to go home they found 12 inches of snow on the ground, and it was still falling. Ono dancer had brought along a 30 pound sack of flour to exchange for a dance ticket. He had left the flour on his horse in such a way that the flour was exposed to the snow. The soft snow on the horse's warm body had melted and soaked through the sack, and caused the flour to seep through and streak down the horse's sides, so that the rider as he rode along the road looked as if he were riding a zebra. The weather later turned cold, froze the snow, which piled up to about 3 feet on the level and stayed on until March, when it went off with a warm rain that caused a flood, the likes of which many of our present popula tion have never seen. Look Out For Chain Letters ' Those who have been indulging in the sending of chain letters had belter find some other way of passing the time. Tuesday's Mail Tribune had a warning issued on chain letters by the acting postmaster in Medford. According to him, chain letters are illegal, and violators may be fined $1000 and sentenced to two years in a federal penitentiary. Charley Hoover, the giver of many trees and spark plug of the Eagle Point Grange, has given us an in vitation to the ground hog dinner next Sunday, Feb. 3, at the Eagle Point grange. Charley said the hogs didn't cost them anything, and since Charley knows where the jack rabbits hang out, we wondered. Thanks, Charley, we will try to be there. As this is written, Thursday a.m., the ground is partially covered with snow and very sloppy, with rain falling, creating a threat of another flooding of the low lands. An epidemic of flu, or some type of virus, is going the rounds of the community, causing several children to miss school. "The Final Verdict" We have just finished reading "The Final Verdict," written by Adela Rogers St. Johns, who must be a remarkable woman. The books dates back to when Mrs. St. Johns was a young girl, and Is a history ot the life of her falher. Earl Rogers, the noted trial lawyer and defender of the underdog. Ho believed in our American system that a man Is innocent until proven guilty. Also he believed that a man brought into court was entitled to the best counsel possible, and that his lawyer should do his utmost to prove his Innocence regardless of what he thought personally. Rogers was opposed to capital punishment, so whon defending a person charged with a criminal offense, ho felt he was saving a life, the dearest of all thlnRS, In his way of thinking. We have enjoyed reading this book immensely, and would recom mend it to others, as it Is a history and follows closely happenings and conversations. There Is some rough language used, and descriptions of horrible things that happened.; A lot of the story is centered around San Francisco and couldn't be more terrible than the actual happenings. We were In San Francisco before and after the oarthquukc, were In Chinatown, saw the tenderloin Barbary Coast, have heard people sny it was the most wicked city in the world, and heard others say after . the earthquake that Cod had destroyed it. Maybe we are partial to court proceedings. We wouldn't walk across the street to see two men beat each other Into a pulp for a championship belt, but got a thrill out of attending a court trial where two good lawyers carry on a legal battle and settle things the correct way. Thought for the day lie who buys what he does not need, will often need what he cannot buy.
