NEALON Mail Tribune Table Rock Coi respondent Charley Hoover, the giver of trees and the "big wheel" in the Eagle Point Grange, was out this way lately for water melons, and a crate of cantaloupes for his young friends. Charley is planning to carry his tree setting plan over the entire state of Oregon. Being optimistic from the start, his belief that better things are in store for those who work for them has carried him forward to the extent that we can now say he is on easy street. He praises highly Jackson County, where he has spent most of his life. He thinks our schools and teachers are not appreciated as they should be, says they are our biggest factor in making our country what it should be. He never gripes about the school tax he pays, and the salaries paid to the teachers, as he knows the terrific responsibility placed on them. He doesn't think you can pay a good teacher too much. Reminds us of when we used to take an apple to our teacher. - Praise From Californfans Among the many fine folk who have dropped in for vege tables, were two California ladies who had been vacationing in Oregon. One was a school teacher and both were well pleased with our state of Oregon. Since they were praising our area, we joined in. The school teacher told us we were one Orcgonian that realized what a wonderful state we lived in, after mentioning our green fields, forests, and lawns, the clear water in our streams, and our fine climate. She said, "In California we have something you do not have. Besides the regular taxes, we have four sales taxes, to contend with, federal, slate, county and city." Some say that the people in Calif, like tho sales tax, but the ones we happen to meet talk the oth?r way. Dottie Simmons, of the Beagle area, was a brief caller here Wednesday. She says there are three horses roaming the highways of the Beagle district, creating a dangerous hazard. Should the horses get mixed up with a logging truck, there would be a shower of horse meat. Mrs. Frank Myers spends some of her spare time making tote bags, poodle dogs, etc. She gives these to family relatives for birthday presents, but since there are some 70 members in the family it takes about all her spare time. The Lighthouse, in Sunday's Mail Tribune, brought back memories ot when we were working (or Dr. Hay during the construction of the Gold Ray dam. We remember hauling firewood to this house where the Rays were living at that time. A wedding of interest to local people was the recent marriage ot Calvin Rhodes, and Miss Carol Wilcox. Calvin was well known here having worked (or local farmers, before joining the U.S. Army where he is now stationed at Ft. Bragg, N.C. Indian Wars Are Re-fought Frank Dean ana Mr. McVay were here Monday. They brought me a typewritten extract from a speech made by Col. rtcsmith, relative to I he signing of the Table Hock treaty. As a result of this, we three (ought over the Indian wars for the rest of the day. What we were trying to do was to pin ro tu the place where the treaty was signet). According to this speech, and Frank says he knows that the speaker was H,i iij.u'.si and truthful man, the place was near where the Gen. Lane monument now stands, but according to C. C. Gall, the justice ot the peace, and no one would say he wasn't honest and truthful, the peace treaty was signed about 150 yards north ot the present Bybee bridge. Thought for the day "Some of our hard times arc caused by too many people with wheelbarrow incomes trying to drive Cadillacs."

While the big bath house was farther up river, this small pool outdoors was a favored spot for many visitors. One visitor who frequented the small plunge was Amelia Earhart, who visited the spa many times before her tragic disappearance on an attempted round-the-world air tour with a pilot. The pair disappeared on the trip, never to be heard from again. 4 Men Make Successful Ascent Of Mt. Shasta's North Side Prospect Schools Open With Total Of 288 Students Boosters To Hear Reports Tuesday Jacksonville The Jackson ville Boosters' club will meet Tuesday, 7:30 p.m., at the city hall for its monthly meeting.

Shasta on the north side August 30. Though climbing the peak from the south side, via Horse Camp or the Ski Bowl is a popu lar pastime for rugged individ uals, it is seldom tackled from the north because of its steep incline and rough terrain.

Gold Hill Drivers Reminded of Speed Gold Hill-Chief of Police Bill Young reminded Gold Hill driv ers today that speed must be reduced in school zones when classes resume this Monday, September 9 at Patrick Ele mentary school on Second ave.. and at Hanby Elementary school on Fifth and Sixth aves. Oregon law requires drivers to drop to 20 miles an hour when passing a school building, grounds or school crossing dur ing recess or wnne cnuaren are going to or leaving school. Exceeding that speed is prima facie evidence of violating the state's speed law, according to Chief Young. "The first few weeks of school are always particularly hazard ous," Young said, "because drivers have grown accustomed to maintaining normal speed in school zones during the summer and children may be less alert to danger in the excitement of getting back to school." a challenge to them For the Coonrod boys it is a family tradition to climb Mt. Shasta from the north. Their grandfather, Edward L. Coon rod of Big Springs, now 84 years old, ascended it three times in I his youth. I At that time climbing parties ; went horseback from the valley ! to a base camp, from where they then proceeded afoot. The boys' father, Donald Coonrod, lo-; cal rancher, also climbed the peak three times, once from the north. I Storms Hinder j The party drove a jeep road ! to within two miles of where j they camped Thursday night in the vicinity of Coquette Falls. They were handicapped by a violent thunder storm before they returned to camp and by a soft slushy snow condition on the steep incline of Bolam Gla cier.
