10 B FRIDAY, JULY 19. 1963 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON Tablets ' , " By R. t. NEALON Mail Tribune Table Rock Correspondent A potluck dinner Saturday evening was attended by , goodly number of Sams Valley Grangers, who had a most enjoyable time on the lawn of their hosts, Mr. and Mrs. John Thomas at the Table Rock Store. Follow ing the dinner, a Teview of the happenings of the recent . session of the Oregon State Grange was given by dclc . gates who attended. Nearly 100 resolutions were acted , on, some being adopted, some screened out and some postponed. Grange members were advised not to sign , petitions asking that the tax law be referred to the vot ers. If enough names are secured it will hold up the ' tax law, so that to get another tax law a special session of the legislature would have to be called, and the same ' people who passed the present bill would get a chance to pass another tax bill, which, if such a thing could be possible, might be worse than the present one. Mr. nd Mrs. .Thomas informed those present that . they would be welcome to hold their next meeting on " their lawn, so the August meeting on Saturday evening, . Aug. 10, will be on the lawn at the Table Rock Store. Ralph James, in charge of the distribution of surplus food sayg he's. furnishing food at the present time to about 1,000 families a month. - Several local people attended the funeral of Charley Nichols in Medford Thursday, July 11. The Nichols family came to this community and homesteaded a piece of land, where the Bert Pierce, home is located. William Bybee, who owned what is now the Modoc orchard, thought he owned the land where Nichols located, but a search of records and deeds proved that it was j)pcn domain.-There-were six children in the Nichols family, five boys and one girl. Mrs. Molly Cook of Medford is the only surviving member. Several young calves have been destroyed lately by ... coyotes on Borello's Table Top ranch. According to Mrs. Al Borello, a cow-that had just dropped a calf was seen circling around as if she were being disturbed. . Going out to see what was wrong, they found five or six . coyotes trying to drag off, the calf which they had killed. : Several lambs have been killed by coyotes on the John Nealon farm. In spite of all this, the County Court has seen fit to discharge the last government hunter in the county, claiming this was necessary to save money. Now It seems coyote control will be put on the bounty plan with the present $5 bounty being raised to $6. This is a far cry from the padded cs Is In an air-conditioned . building with a salary, county cars, gas, and other serv ices of some $8,000 a year. We asked a member of the budget committee why, since these people campaigned ' for these offices and knew what the salary was, they should be given more than the specified salary. He re plied, "This office has gotten to be a traffic headache." We told him we, knew. all. about the headaches, as - we were there at one time, drawing our $5 warrant, which the banks discounted 10 per cent for each day we worked, and using our own jalopy for transportation. Those days there were 'guns carried' In the courthouse. One day George Hilton came in and with a sympathetic voice said, "Heavy hangs the head that wears the crown.", ye toJd .him we hadn't. seen .any. crown, but we had seen a coil of rope with a hangman's knot at one end hanging in a second hand store. Now if anyone wants to make some easy money, he can gather up his traps, stumble up the rugged slopes ot Table Rock and, try to match his skill with that ot the cunning coyote by setting the traps where coyotes have been at times, and it he should catch one scalping him and taking the icalp to the courthouse where a gen- . croui County Court) will reward him. with a &B warrant. . Thought for th day "Teach your, boy to tell the truth-, and In turn tell him the truth no matter how It hurts." J. Edgar Hoover.
