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,

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
