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.

food sayg he's. furnishing food at the present time to

- 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.

Applegate Valley - A noon

Approximately 140 persons

opment of the campground
through the agencies of the
Bureau of Land Management,
County Court, and forest ser
vice.

district ranger. The Rev. Earl
Best, pastor of Ruch commu
nity church, gave the invocation.
Bob Scott of Medford pre
pared the barbequed beef, as
sisted by Bud Batcman, also
of Medford. Mr. and Mrs.
Fred West of the Grange ways
and means committee had
charge of arrangements. Cer
emonies were held at the east
entrance.
Since Jackson campground
is located in picturesque
rocky tailings left by Chinese
miners of a century ago, Su
pervisor Brown said that
plans are under way for erec
tion of a mining museum in
the park.
He also said that in the
near future a concrete low

the campground. He ex

on the west side of the camp,
which is divided by the river,

The county court figured
in early negotiations for the
camp site when It purchased
two dormant mining claims
by quit claim deed and turn
ed the 40 acre tract over to
the forest service for develop
ment. The forest service with
drew the ground from miner
al entry and started site plan
ning in 1961.

event as a homecoming for
him, having formerly resided
here for 37 years. Faber said,
"And to think we are prepar
ing for Century 21 or the next
hundred years." He also men
tioned future development of

Roads Repaired
Near O'Brien
O'Brien-Stale Paving Crew
No. 1 under the direction of
Cecil Daimler was located at
the Rough and Ready bridge
for one week, ending Mon
day for its annual road repair
project in the Illinois Valley.
Aggregate dryers and the
"pug mill", where asphalt is
heated and mixed, highway
equipment and personnel
were camped at the usual site.
Some of the men travel
from one area to another in
trailer houses with their fam
ilies year around with the
paving equipment. Paving
Crew No. 1 is assigned to the
area from Hayes hill to the
California state line.
Repairs were made on
broken roadbed and sunken
shoulders caused by heavy
equipment hauling on Red
wood highway and its second
ary. Caves highway.
An extra gang of Oregon
state highway crews arrived
in the Illinois Valley this
week and oiled the road into
the Forks State park near
Cave Junction. The park was !
completed last spring for j
swimming, picnicking and
camping. 1
One drawback to comfort- j
able picnicking has been the !
extreme dust condition caused
by traffic on the road into the !
park. The park was closed for
this project.
