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.

"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.
