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."

REMOTE BATH HOUSE Near Klamath Hot
Springs in northern Siskiyou county there still
stands a small building used for changing into
swimming suits for those who wished to swim
in the warm pool. 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.

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."
