Mail Tribune Table
Table Rock Ladies Club will meet Wednesday, March
13, at the home ol Mrs. Jim Gann, 1119 Dakota ave.,
Mcdford.
At the annual meeting of the members of the Table
Rock District Improvement company held March 2, most
of the present officials were reelected. They include
Edwin Taylor, president; Larry Hull, vice-president,
and E. W. Robinson, secretary-treasurer. The annual
assessment of $6 per acre for water users was not
changed. This is commonly known as the Table Rock
Ditch co. and at one time was called the Drum, Bybee,
Pickens, Hunsaker Ditch co. The system was practically
all dug with pick and shovel, back In the nineties. Ed
Drum owned a lot of pumice land Including what is
now the Ray Baker, John Nealon, and Hamilton farms,
and it was his Idea to get water on land that at one time
had been traded for a horse and a gun, and apparently
was too dry to grow crops.
Batteries of smudge pots are being set up In local
pear orchards for the expected, but not wanted, battle
with Jack Frost.
The Family Gels Together
. We had a birthday party last Saturday attended by
several of the Nealon family and other relatives, follow
ed by a pot-luck dinner which was highly enjoyed by all.
As the oldest one left of the Nealon family all of which
learned their A. B.C. 's and the multiplication tables in
the little one-room school house, we feel proud to know
that none have been a burden on society but have been
good citizens holding their many assigned positions with
dignity and honor. As with all big families, there have
been casualties, heartaches and grief, but their sense of
humor still remains. Maybe it is because we are Irish.
Personally, like many others, we have reached the
age where we can remember things that happened 50
years ago better than two weeks ago. Contrary to some
beliefs, we remember those who have been helpful and
good to us bettor than those who have been mean. The
first one to do a kind deed, which I have remember
ed ever since it happened, was Erastus Wilson. I was a
five-year-old kid with buck teeth and a hawk billed nose,
it was my first day of school, so of course the boys
started "picking" on me. When Erastus saw this, he
came to my rescue and told them to let that little
boy alone, or else.
Many other things we remember back 30, 40 and 50
years ago. Sometimes people will argue about my state- '
ments, and the sad part of it is that owing to high
blood pressure, I am restricted as to arguments. Of
course 1 can argue with my belter half, as I always win
with her. Anyway I get through first. Thai's the way
you win, its'nl it?
Local folks here who use electricity for cooking and
heating, were delighted lo hear that rates will soon be
reduced by the Pacitlc Power and Light company. .
We are hearing complaints from cattlemen . about
a drop In cattle prices. We wonder if those who have
turned In for their livestock for assessment purposes
at prices of Jan, 1 .will get any adjusment, if prices
continue to sag between now and tax paying time next '
fall.
Signs of Spring ; .
Early flowers are bursting into bloom, frogs are '
croaking, meadow larks, the Oregon State bird, are sing
ing, and as this Is written the sun is brightly shining.
This is a wonderful country where no one knows what
It is going to do tomorrow, except the weather man,
and he isn't too sure.
Birthdays are wonderful even if they are getting so
old as to be out of date. On our last one we got enough
socks, shirts, gloves and other wearing equipment lo
last to our next birthday.
We have a few more Tablets fans: a veterinarian,
a chief of police, and an undertaker.
Some say that when an undertaker or Digger Odcll
gels loo chummy with you, it might be like a buzzard
circling over a sick sheep.
We are sorry lo report Unit E. C. Hamilton is In
the Rogue Valley hospital suffering with a broken hip.
Thought for the day Self-praise is half scandal.

Most people recognize this

Ashland Mayor Richard
Neill cast the deciding vote
to approve a request for a
package beer license at the
College market, 1253 Siski
you blvd. The mayor voted
after council members dead
locked 3 to 3 at the Tuesday
night council meeting.
At a previous meeting, the
request of Mr. and Mrs. Joe
D. Benbrook had been turned
down 3 to 2.
Opposing the license appli
cation at both meetings were
Councilmen Arthur Peters,
Duane Baker and Don Lewis.
Voting for it were David
Kerr, George Ward and Em
mett Whitham. Kerr had been
absent from the previous
meeting.
The Arguments
Division of opinion came on
the question of discrimina
tion, proximity to the college
and free competition. The
mayor's comments that "it is
no more right to deny a gro
cery store the right to sell
beer than to sell bacon" and
the opinion that "we are not
here to decide the laws,"
summed up the attitude of
those in favor of the beer li
cense application.
Councilman Lewis objected
both as a member of the col
lege administration and as a
parent, saying that the city's

Temporary
Rogue River
At the last
council meeting' the Rogue
River city council agreed to
interview an applicant for
the position of fire chief, and
possibly as a relief man for
the police department and
city's maintenance man.
Then last Saturday, at a
special committee meeting
held at the city hall, the ap
plicant, Donald H. Campagna,
was appointed on a temporary
basis for the position of fire
chief and relief man for other
departments. A small salary
was agreed upon.
Campagna comes highly
recommended by the mayor
of Chiloquin where for sev
eral years he had experience
in this field of work. ,
At this special meeting, ex
pansion of the Rogue River
fire department was discuss
ed. The first step would be
to create interest in this de
partment, encourage new
members and pay a small sal
ary to those who turn out at
the meetings that are held
each Tuesday evening, in ad
dition to those who help fight
fires.
The committee decided for
the time being to keen the
old Marquette fire truck that
had been offered for sale, and
check into the cost rf in
stalling a small water tank
and portable pressure pump
on it. This piece of equipment
will be used fr the purpose

Councilman Baker ex
pressed similar sentiments de

stop somewhere" and that

hearing on the license was
presented to the council on be
