NEALON Mill Tribune Table Reck Correspondent We have juat received a long letter from Floyd McCabe, the "Republicrat" of Butte Falls. He would like have us write a complete history of the conflict called the Jackson County war, which took place during the reign of the so-called Good Government congress. He says he was only 11 years of age at that time, so doesn't remember much about it. However, he tells us much he has heard since. We would like to please him and appreciate his belief that we would be able to write a readable story about the affair. There are many angles that Floyd may not think about in writing this past history. There may be some toes that would be tread upon. Besides, it would require a lot of checking and a lot of energy which we seem to be short of at this time. However, we are not completely turning him down, but will keep it on file for future reference. Big Charley and Little Charier One day last week, we met Bill Ferguson in Norman Matteeon's Laundromat at Gold Hill. Bill was taking clothes from a washer, and for some reason he remind ed us of a man we used to work with on the Dr. Ray dam and farms, back in 1910. He was perhaps a little more punchy now but was the same man, and we en joyed very much reminiscing about the work we used to do and the men who made up the working crews. Tney came from many states and some from other countries, including two Russians, Big Charley, and Little Charley. Big Charley was a veterinarian brought here to take care of the livestock. One man had been a major general in the Confederate army during the Civil war. You would never know he had been a , soldier to look at him. He changed his shoes from left to right each morning which made him hard to track. Of all the men (from 25 to 30) we can remember, we can only account 'or a half dozen, including ourselves, atlll on deck. One man we well remember was Lilse gran, a sort of riding boss. Charley Ray tells us he was a chemist. Later, he invented what he called a sure protection of fruit trees from frost. This gadget didn't need any fire, or give off any smoke, and ac cording to the inventor, was simple and easy to oper ate, efficient, sure and inexpensive. All you needed was a parasol, or umbrella. You buckled it to the tree, with the top sticking out above the tree. When frost threatened, you pushed the parasol up and open, it was just that simple. Of course, if you had 10,000 trees, you would need that many parasols. Orchard Heaters Rear Out ei Oil As for orchard heating, we remember (we think it waa April or May) one year they lit the pots for six nights, after which the oil supply was exhausted, and no oil had been stored by local oil companies. Col. Washburn, who had come here from Portland, had an apple orchard where the Tuttle subdivision is now. Being out of oil, he turned to wood, put cord wood with a bunch of kindling under each pile between the rows. That evening there was a cold, chilling rain that saturated the wood, but as the weather had changed, heating was not needed, and headaches were over for a time. During this boom time, brought about by pear trees and blossoms, we of this Table Hock area got our share of immigrants from the East, with their money and their eager desire to own and operate . beautiful and sweet-smelling groves of pear trees. There were the Palmers, from Chicago, who purchased a large tract of land from William Bybee about 100S and start ed work immediately clearing, leveling, and setling out pear trees. Also a foundation was constructed for a mansion on setting with a view over the valley. For some reason, this was never finished. According to Ernest Hamilton, manager of the Modoc orchard, during this frosty weather they have fired their heaters seven nights, three of them being all night af faire. He says they have suffered some loss, about the same on the low lands as on the slope of Table Rock, which is a higher elevation but must get a warmer current of air as heaters have never been used in this orchard. Business Visitor Leon Reisingcr of Medford, a former Table Rock resident was a recent business visitor here. He was looking for a home site with the intention of building a dwelling for his family. The site he most wanted, we understand, Is not for sale. Thought for the day God gave geese enough sense to get out of a country when they didn't like it. Minor Building Boom Reported In Hornbrook Hornbrook - For a commu nity as small as this, some thing in the way of a building boom is being experienced here this spring. A new two-bedroom home is being completed by Mr. and Mrs. Jim Clyburn on their property on Cottonwood creek, opposite the Loren Cummins home. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Suctta have begun the erection of a new ranch-type home on the same location on which their previous home burned to the ground in January: of this year. What is probably the most unusual is the A-frame home being built adjacent to the cemetery on property recently purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Wendell Baker of Portland. High on the hill above High way 99 and overlooking the entire valley is the new home being built by Mr. and Mrs. L. F. Madison.

He told of many exper iences that he and his family had while they were in Ecua dor. These included living through one revolution, and subsequent change of govern ment, various unpleasant con tacts with communists, serv ant troubles, and the constant annoyance of almost impos sible roads.

LEARN ABOUT WILDFLOWERS Ranger Neil Suttell shows Ruch students Susan Larson, fifth grade, and Robert Tweedy, sixth grade, a garden club book of pressed wild- nowers. Ruch Pupils Ask Astute Questions About Wildf lowers By MAUDE ZIEGLER Mail Tribune Correspondent Applegate Valley - "What material are flowers made of?" The forest ranger didn't expect a question like this when he went to Ruch school recently to interest children in preservation of wild flow ers. But Randy Eek, fifth grade boy, wanted to know, so Dis trict Ranger Neil Suttell groped momentarily for an answer, and then said that all plant life is composed of cells, and explained that the sturdi est plants have thick-walled cells. Someone asked what the difference is between flowers and weeds, and the ranger summed up the situation by saying that the degree of de sirability in different areas of the world determines the classification. He cited the flowers of the poisonous lark spur as an example along with the water hemlock with which Socrates was executed. A flower is something special," the ranger told the students, and reminded them to observe all the things of nature, including moss, rocks, and trees. He instructed in methods of pressing, includ ing use of sand, and urged the group to pick flowers only for scientific collections and hobbies. He said a tril- Prospect Residents Invited To Meeting Prospect Residents of the Proipect area are urged to attend an access road meeting to be held at the Jackson County courthouse in Med ford Tuesday at 9 a.m. The meeting concerns access to the new highway being construct ed around Prospect.

The ranger showed the col lection of pressed flowers which the valley garden club presented to the forest service for public display. The fourth, fifth, and sixth grades will make a collection of pressed flowers for study. Ranger Suttell also spoke to students at Applegate school, who also will make experi ments with flower preservation.

Don't think we haven't tried. lAs a matter of fact, the Volkswagen's been changed nearly 3,000 times,) But we can't improve our basic design. Like the egg, it's the right kind of package for what goes inside. So that's whore mosl of our energy goes. To get more power without using more gas. To put synchromesh on first gear. To improve the heater. That kind of thing. As a result, our package carries four adults, and their luggage, at about 32 mile', to a gallon of regular gas and 40,000 miles to a set of tires. We've made a few external changes, of course. Such as push-button doorknobs. Which is one up on the egg.
