MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOHD, OREGON
Regional Roundup
by Clave Twltchell
Mail Tribune Regional Editor
Businessmen around Mt. Shasta complain during the
' winter months that some service station operators in Red
ding advise motorists they can't get through to Siskiyou
county without chains. . . .
Some Rogue Valley businessmen complain that service
station operators in Weed tell motorists the fastest and best
way north is via Highway 97 through Klamath Falls. . . .
Here's the latest chapter in this story:
Genevieve Briggs, our Wilderville correspondent, re
ports that some recent visitors to Josephine county were
informed by service station operators in Eureka that they
couldn't go up Highway 199 to Grants Pass because the
road was impassable. The reason: tunnel construction.
Tom Swifiitt .
Alice Burnette, Talent correspondent, we suppose hav
ing nothing better to do one day recently, came up with a
few Tom Swifties she says were Inspired by her news
gathering activities. Some that we liked were:
"The object of the Talent-Phoenix Businessmen's asso
ciation is to keep traffic on Highway 99," Mr. Wade said
haltingly.
"So this is the freeway over Medford," said Tom cle
vatedly. "There will be a meeting of the budget committee,"
Ed said cuttingly.
"We are going to have fire practice Monday," Chief
White said inflammatorily.
Flight O' Time
We have our own "Flight O' Time" item this week,
thanks to the efforts of Eva Hamilton, who rummaged
around the other day and found the following, a report
from an earlier day Mail Tribune correspondent:
"Talent, Oregon, April 18, 1934 (Spccial)-A man who
was reported found hung on the Green Spring Mountains,
proved to be Lem Stevens, who disapearded from Talent
two months ago.
"The family and friends hearing of the man having
been found and burried by the parties finding the boddy
of a man hung, went and had the body disintcarcd and it
proved to be Stevens.
"An investigation will be held."

past president was the feature
event of the Montague Rotary

Starting with a social hour
at the ranch home of Mr. and

their wives and guests, then
attended a banquet prepared
and served by the W.S.C.S.

Past President Tom Dickin
son through his 'paces.'
Seated in a small old-fashioned
school desk and equip

yo, Dickinson was bombarded
with ' questions, mostly per
taining to his early life. He
was never given a chance to
answer, as one of the panel
had the answers, all in a hu
morous vein.
Meek, taking over the more
formal part of the ceremonies,
presented Dickinson with his
past president's pin and badge
and lauded him for his year
of leadership. The audience
gave him a standing ovation
in agreement.

CHILLY PLACE This cave, located near
Greneda is Siskiyou county, Calif., has an
oddity about it. Whenever one stands near
the entrance he feels a chilly wind, even in
summertime. The cave is located about 50
feet off the Greneda cutoff road, about two
miles toward Greneda from Highway 97.
To visit the cave, follow a road leading of
of the cutoff to a point about 50 yards away
where there is a turnout. The cave is 30-40
feet to the right from that point.

meeting of the stockholders
(or July 9, but since there
were only 15 of the 35 stock
holders needed for a quorum
the meeting could not official
ly be held.
The board stated that the
foundation for the new 110,
000 gallon water storage tank
has been completed. Bids for
the steel for the 40 foot diam
eter, 12 foot high tank have
been invited with dcadlne for
bids set for July 20,
This tank is designed so
ihat another 12 feet in height
can be aded to give another
110,000 gallons to double the
storage space when needed.
The present lank of 20,000
gallons will continue to be In
use. According to Jack Fitzer,
member of the board, the !
present tank drains in about
20 minutes when everyone in
town is irrigating at the same
time.
The board asked that all
those persons using city water
to please cooperate and not
use water for irrigatng be
tween the hours of 2 p.m.
and 9 p.m. to that the tank
will be able to fill and people
on the higher elevations will
have enough water for house
hold use during the evening.
When the tank is empty the
pumps from Elk Creek csn't
begin to keep up with the use
and thus there is no pressure
for homes on these higher ele
vations In town. A number of
persons present complained
that many neighbors on these
higher elevations are irrigat
ing those hours and others
nearby cannot get enough
pressure to wash clothes in
automatic washing machines. !
The board agreed that some
. thing had to be done.
The board Invited any
stockholders who have any
questions to ask the board
and to come to the monthly
