Mail Tribune Table The Democratic picnic at TouVelle Park drew a large number of Democrats and a tiny sprinkling of Re publicans. We had some difficulty in finding a place to park. It reminded us of downtown Medford, except there were no hungry meters. We met a man who had heard Gov. Hatfield speak at the previous Republican picnic. He must have been a Republican for he said he was sorely disappointed with Hatfield's speech and had no idea he would use such an occasion to indulge in politics and abuse, said he talked as if we were in a war and the Democrats were our enemies, spoke of them as ene mies and used the word foe several times. We wonder if the good governor "realized that the platform he was speaking from, the beautiful scenery, and wonderful setting were made possible by a generous Democrat who could have sold it for a fabulous sum, owing to its unique setting, but gave it to' the Stale of Oregon for a park where one and all may go for picnics and gatherings such as the Governor was addressing. Town Hall at Dallaa Town Dallas Purcell was down Monday from his home nn the mountain. He says their population has increased by several families and some 20 children, about half of them being of school age. Dallas tells us they have a place to transact their social and business affairs. They are building a fair sized town hall. So we may soon see a town hall in Dallas Town. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Ellis from their hide away home at Beagle were down this way Wednesday, sampling sweet corn. Harry and I have something in common, both being restricted as to working in the sunshine, and both having industrious wives. "Treaty of Tabla Rock" We are indebted to Miss Diane Richardson of Port land, Oregon for the following transcript: "The British Empire Builders," by Robert Ormond Case, Chapter XXI, 1853, "The Treaty of Table Rock." This contains some 17 type written pages so will put it on file and comment on some of the contents. It seems that during the early 1850's, the Oregon Territory was constantly embroiled in Indian trouble. This valuable history led up to the signing of the Table Rock treaty but it to lengthy to use at one time in one column but can be used to refer to in checking on dates and old time stories. At one place it tells of Gen. Lane and his 50 men being camped in a meadow near the Lower Table Rock while 700 Indian warriors were ready for battle on the mountain top. It was Gen. Lane's idea to parley with the Indians and get them to sign a treaty, but his officers thought it was a foolish idea and that the only good Indian were dead ones. Gen. Lane persisted and finally got the treaty of Table Rock signed. Where this treaty was signed is a matter of conjecture. The Gen. Lane monument near the Table Top ranch is sup posed to be near the spot. C. C. Gall, an old timer of Sams Valley, told us he witnessed the signing. He said Gen. Lane and his officers, with the Indian chiefs in volved, were seated on a log 150 yards due north of the approach of what Is now the Bybee Bridge. In the above history of the Table Rock treaty, mention is made of Gen. Lans and the Indian chiefs being seated on logs while negotiating the signing of a treaty. Four-Legged Coin Bessie says they got our swert corn ad in Tuesday's Mail Tribune in the livestock column. No wonder so many people came after corn. They thought we had some new kind of animal.

Mail Tribune Correspondent Applegate Valley - Upper Applegate Grange officials have called attention to the fact that, according to a law passed in Ihe last session of the slate legislature, persons using explosives shall.be re sponsible for removal of all unused explosives from any area of use after completion of their work. Violation of the law is pun ishable upon conviction by a fine of not more than 500 dol lars. The law goes into effect Sept. 2. Legislative action came as a result of Ihe loss two years ago of eleven head of cattle owned by Harlan Cantrall. The cattle, on the local range, died as a result of eating dynamite left by thoughtless persons. The local Grange spear headed a move lo bring about an effective law, and their resolution was introduced in the Senate by Senator L. W. Newbry and Representatives Edward Branchfield and John R. Dellenback Jan. 30. All Jackson county Granges also supported the move with resolutions, as did the Jackson County Farm Bureau and Stockmen's association and Parent Teacher groups by writing letters requesting leg islative action. After passing the Senate, house bill 96 went into judic iary house committee, and Senator Newbry was instru mental in getting the hill out of committee. He offered amendments repealing an ex isting law since 1961 request ing purchasers to sign when buying dynamite. The hill was signed by Gov. Mark Hatfield May 28.

Iivrside, Medford, Orecrfn McLeod Area Residents Urged To Report Fires McLeod - During the criti ; cal fire season just ahead it I is important that residents know where to report forest and brush fires occurring in their area. Due to an error the tele phone number for the McLeod Guard Station was omitted from the directory and Carl Bennett, slate forest officer, wishes lo inform the public that the number is 878-2245. Quick action by the first person to locate or see a fire starling has saved many acres of valuable timberland, he said. Bennett warned the public to be particularly careful of matches and cigarettes that are still burning when thrown out of cars. Children are often offenders inthis respect. The Shady Cove-Trail-Prospect area has been very for tunate in having had very few fires the last few years but because of flow-downs from the Columbus Day storm the fire situation is extremely haz ardous this year, Bennett ex plained. Personnel from the McLeod Guard Station assisted in fighting the Indian creek fire which occurred July 22 and before being brought under control consumed approxi mately 55 acres. This was caused by careless campers failing to put out a campfire, Bennett said. OUTSIDE CALLS Talent - Talent Rural fire men will continue to answer calls from outside their dis trict, providing that persons served pay the cost of the runs, the board of the Talent Rural Fire Protection district announced Monday.
