Phone 772-6428 Downtown Medford The Oregon Caves: We found another short trip to a delightful vacation spot But why have we delayed the trip almost three years? Why wasn't there abundant, excit ing publicity to tell us and others all about this place? Out of state friends have oft en insisted that Oregon ad vertises her natural wonders insufficiently. They may be right. These Caves, interesting, educational and fun to ex plore, are in a beautiful lo cation. The entrance is on the side of a mountain almost at the head of a green, woodsy canyon. There is a rushing stream with waterfalls, and the air is crisp and clear - a very welcome change from our valley atmosphere. The canyon is at the end of a cool, scenic road through the for est. Fortunately, on this our first trip, we were with our Manor friends, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Baker. Mr. Baker is prac tically "Mr. Oregon Caves." He explored the caves first in 1918, walking in from Gray back Forest Camp with Mrs. Baker and a tiny daughter riding a horse. In 1922 he was one of 10. civic minded Grants Pass men who ad vanced the money and organ ized to provide some sort of accommodations for visitors to the caves. He Is and always has been their president and still devotes time, money and effort to the operation of the organization. In the begin ning, they could provide only tent frames for camping and a stand for sandwiches and coffee, but they got a project rolling which has developed into a truly worthwhile public service for Oregon. Those who go only for the day miss half the pleasure by not staying overnight in the Chateau. The food is out-of-thls-world, which is a trite and passe expression, I admit, but how else can one describe tender steaks and prime ribs perfectly cooked; crisp, icy, artistic salads; rich, fluffy cakes; very good coffee, with out which nothing is good? Only college students are on the staff - mostly from Ore gon colleges - and they give cheerful and willing service. Roger Kahle, their college stu dent publicity man, writes the column "Cave Echoes" in the Dally Courier, Grants Pass, and writes well, apparently with the "greatest of ease" which is the acid test of ex pertise. The students put on an evening program for us be fore a huge bonfire and under a bright, bright moon, follow ed by an illustrated lecture by a park naturalist, and the National Park service does that sort of thing extremely well. The park men also con duet nature-study walks. The managers this year are Mr. and Mrs. H. O. Obye who formerly lived In both Med ford and Grants Pass. Mr. Obye is a retired U. S. Forest service officer. Both the Obyes have the euthusiastlc, friendly personality necessary for success in this work. The Chateau, quaint and picturesque - Just like a pic ture post card from Switzer land - was designed and built in 1934 by Gust Llum, Mrs. Baker's brother. It is built into the canyon on different levels. The dining room is on the lowest level and that bub bling stream runs right through the room. It was here that the Baker's daughter -the 3 -year -old Connie who was taken through the caves in 1915 - was married some 20 years later. Her aunt, Mrs. James Lium, used nearly 1000 white gladioli to deco rate the room for the wedding. Mrs. Lium now lives in the Manor and does beautiful flower arrangements for us. Naturally, one can imagine that the Caves seem like a sec ond home to the Bakers. Col. and Mrs. William H. Bartlett, Garden a, Calif., made their valley friends hap py by returning to their old home on Valley View drive for a short vacation. They have a small orchard on the property which is their ab sorbing hobby. In it they have an unusual variety of trees -black and English walnuts, filberts, apples, pears, plums, cherries, peaches. One row of trees is of peaches selected to ripen on consecutive weeks beginning the first week of August. We were visitors the second week and came away with samples of peaches most delicious. Grafting and layering are the colonel's methods, and he has a number of "spoor" trees (I do hope I sound technical and knowing) ready for graft ing in the spring. Also, they have three varieties of grapes; and there are many different species of shade trees, shrubs and plants. The Bartletta have friends in the Manor. Mrs. Harold Jordon, Mrs. Rease Braley and Mr. and Mrs. "Bob" Evans entertained for them here. It is hoped that when the colonel tires of teaching higher math in California, they will retire in Medford - preferably in the Manor. (Editor's note: Through a typographical and proofread ing error, the last several paragraphs of the August 11 Manorisms, written about Mrs, Alice Applegate Pell, Miss Margaret Hewett and John Demmer, were not Included. The Mail Tribune regrets the error and the "lost" para graphs follow.) A second member, now past 90, is another In our long list of lifetime workers in the academic profession: Miss Margaret Hewett, from New ark, N.J., who is really re markable for her activities. Alert and staunchly indepen dent, Miss Hewett also never misses a thing, including sev eral organized bus tours ar ranged for Manor members. She went with us to Port land for the Ice Follies. Not content to merely "keep-up," she was nearly always a lead er of the pack and enjoyed every second of it. Graduating from Wellesley college in 1897, Miss Hewitt taught for 35 years In the same school she attended as a child. Her mother, also, attended this same school. Now a happy member of the Manor, Miss Hewett never omits her morning and eve ning walks - and I do mean walks and not slow strolling and she can be seen chatting on the patio evenings. No early bedtime for her, either, m m m Our third member mention. ed this week is John Demmer who was born in the same year as Mrs. Pell, also in the same month. There are actual ly only a few days difference in their ages. Mr. Demmer is another peppy one who gets up each morning and sprints around the building. He is also C 5 moved into the Manor, Mr. alert, pert and busy. Demmer works many hours in These three friends and fel his garden plot on the Manor low Manor members, H seems grounds, and he is constantly to me, offer irrefutable proof darting in and out of the that chronological age is not building on some errand - always reliable criterion. n via i Bar v m Medford J BELLEHABMEER t Timet xrxrm rrsne JUCiXO IUUA .Lic.uro EXPRESS THEMSELVES Aie your legs Ion?, shorty toS, lean or in-fcetween?
