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.

New Explosives Law Result
Of Applegate Grange Project
By MAUDE ZIEGLEP.
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.

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

Rural Fire Protection district
announced Monday. If bills

are not paid, however, the
