Mail Tribune Table Well, the final verdict is in. The jury has voted "No" and the emotional hysteria is over for a while. But we still say that by the time the smoke has cleared away and the bills come in for holding the special election in Jackson county and another long session of the legislature, as the legislators strive to enact a bill to replace the one just voted out and one that will raise enough money to carry on the required services and upkeep of buildings and equipment and one that will please everyone, they (the "No" voters) will begin to feel that maybe they jumped out of the frying pan into the fire. To learn what kind of tax bill the people want would be like hunting a needle in a hay stack. There would be as many different ideas as there are voters. Speaking of legislatures, we have a book giving the num ber of bills acted on by the 18th session of the Oregon legis lature back in 1895. Jackson County at that time was repre sented in the lower house by John Jcffry and S. M. Nealon of Table Rock, and in the senate by George W. Dunn of Ash land. There were 377 bills introduced. Many of these failed to pass. One bill introduced was to buy voting machines, which it was said would speed up voting and make for a more accurate counting of ballots. Another bill called for building an insane asylum in the south end of the state, in Jackson, ' Klamath, Josephine or Douglas county. At that time there were four political parties in the state: Republican, Demo crat, Independent, and Peoples party, and all had candidates on the ticket at election time. Space will not permit giving all the candidates on the Jackson County ticket. A man named James Kennedy was running on the Independent ticket for governor, but Republican W. P. Lord was elected. Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Simmons of the Beagle District were business visitors here recently. They report that their daugh ter, who was seriously hurt in a car accident, is gradually im proving. Mr. Simmons, while in Germany during World War two, tells about stepping into a booby trap, which blew him up in the air and spun him around several times before he came back to earth with several toes missing and his . legs and body mangled to such an extent that it took a long time for doctors to skin graft and patch him up. The Alvin Hamilton family are living in the E. C. Ham ilton house on Pumice lane, recently vacated by the Ernest Lathrop family, who are now living in a house recently built in the Central Point area. w We were interrupted here by a man and wife recently . from California who have bought a farm in the Sams Valley area. They were loud in their praise of this valley and our state and brimming with enthusiasm as they told how they enjoy it here. As we listened to them we couldn't help but notice the contrast with the talk we hear from some of our residents here. According to them, there is nothing done right in Oregon, or Jackson County, the press is controlled, the laws are all wrong, people have to pay taxes, most our officials are crooked, you can't hunt game without a license, and then only at certain times, and on and on. The local ladies club met at the Everett Brown home last Wednesday. Club sisters were revealed and new ones drawn. Stanley Lydiard, of Medford, was a business visitor here Wednesday. He is in the market for some feeder lambs. Mr. and Mrs. Bert Pierce returned Friday from Arkansas, where they went to be with Mrs. Pierce's father who was seriously ill. They reported that the weather there was very dry and the cattlemen were beginning to worry about the pasture. . . .

USF Professor Addresses County Teachers WEED Dr. Tom Lanlos ad dressed the ' Siskiyou County Teachers Institute held at Weed High school recently on the sub ject of "Power Politics in the Nuclear Age. Some 500 teachers, adminis trators and interested citizens listened to the speaker, who gave, the principal address after the opening ceremonies and in troduction by Paul Fisher, Sis kiyou County School Superin tendent. Dr. Lantos, a graduate of the University of Budapest, Hun gary and a number o( schools in the United Slates, a world wide traveler and a professor at the University of San Francis co, warned his audience that "if we are to lead internationally, that the members of the teach ing profession must awake from complacency."

The apparatus on the rear of the equipment covered up the furrows after seeds were planted. The seeding just completed will produce a mulch to be used as a protection for forage grasses to be planted next fall. Silver Fork Basin Seeded To Cereal Rye, Yellow Clover By MAUDE ZIEGLER Mail Tribune Correspondent APPLEGATE VALLEY Sil ver Fork basin in the high Sis kiyou cattle range has been seeded to cereal rye and yellow clover in the first large scale attempt by the Forest Service to grow a suitable grass cover in the basin. Cattle rage there in summer and it is one of the beauty spots of the Ashland loop drive. Forestry officials at Star Ran ger station point out that the seeding just completed will pro duce a mulch as a protection to forage glasses to be planted next fall. Inasmuch as the late snow pack prevents normal spring seeding, and frost damages (all planting, Ihe mulch is being New Veterans Group Has Session In Rogue Valley GRANTS PASS - A newly chartered state organization of veterans who served in both World Wars I and II held its ini tial meeting Monday' night at the Rogue Riviera, Gold Hill. Known as "Retreads, Inc.," the organization has about 800 members nationally. The recent ly organized Oregon chapter has been christened "Mt. Hood No. I," and numbers 17 members to dale, seven of whom are from the southern Oregon area. Dr. Carroll Dewey, of Grants Pass, Medical Officer for the state organization, said thai if five more members can be found in this area, plans will be made In organize a separate Hut No. 2" in southern Oregon.

Present plants growing in the basin not regarded as suitable forage most of the season include skunk cabbage, tar weed, pussy weeds, western cone flower, arrow leaf rabbit bush, and lupin. Austin Klahn, new range con servationist for the Rogue River National forest, who has man aged seeding programs in other areas, supervised the Silver Fork project, comprised of 87 acres. Buford Wels was the op erator doing the seeding, using a range land drill with Massey Ferguson farm tractor on level spots. A D-2 cat was used on steeper slopes. The rale of application of seed and fertilizer was 50 pounds of rye per acre, two pounds of clo ver, and 45 pounds of amonium sulphate. The project was com pleted in 17 days, and al the end of that time the rye was sprouted in wet spots, and at the present time has sprouted in all areas. It was pointed nut that that seeding the basin serves to hold the soil in place, and to increase forage production for grazing, which is considered an import ant part nf management under the multiple forest use concept.

TVeelcly- ttWEflMr Life of Described at Historical By DORIS ROBINSON Mail Tribune Correspondent YREKA Lewis Foulke pre sented three speakers at the Siskiyou County Historical so ciety meeting held Saturday at the museum. There were 84 members and guests present. James McNeill, president, pre sided at the brief business meeting which preceded the speakers. Mrs. Isabell Schrader, the first speaker, told of Justin Hinckley Sisson, one of the pio neers of the 1850's in northern California and of his promi nence in Southern Siskiyou county. He was born in Connecticut, April 2, 1826, came west in 1840, but graduated from Knox college, and taught school for a time before starting west. He embarked on a vessel going around the Horn for San Fran cisco from New York and ar rived sometime around 1850, or 1852. Came North He spent his first years in California mining, then came north to Strawberry valley. He filed on government land which included parts of the present city of Mount Shasta. Sisson re turned to New York on hearing of his father's death, and before returning got married. The honeymoon trip was the trip back to Strawberry valley by horses. The couple's first home was a log cabin on the site now oc cupied by the Mount Shasta High school. He acquired more land which is now a part of the Brownshasta Ranch and the Mount Shasta hatchery. Sisson donated the land to the hatch ery, which used to be called Sisson hatchery. He was post master for many years and the town used to be called Sissions, but was later changed to Mount Shasta. His holdings included Horse Shoe Bend on the McCloud ri ver, later known as "The Bend" where he built a lodge. He laler had a partner named Fay and this partnership sold TODAY!

Mrs. Sis son died in 1917, but Mr. Sis son passed away in 1893. The second speaker was Ger ald Wetzel of McCloud, who gave a talk on the McCloud Ri ver Railroad and Lumber mill. This little railroad runs along the base of Mt. Shasta to the little mill town of McCloud, then east to Hambone where the Great Northern has a branch line, thence to Lookout where interchange is made with the Great Northern and the Western Pacific. Railroad Described This gives 130 miles of rail road, 98 of which is owned by the McCloud mill. The mill was at Ash Creek and the box fac tory at Upton until 1907 when the railroad extended into Mc Cloud. This year was also the year for the first oil burning engine, up to this time the engines burned wood, and Wetzel said they burned the finest sugar pine in the country. Autos were few and trains were used for transportation to social func tions in Sission. New Year's Eve was the biggest night in the year when all boarded the train for a big celebration in Sission. July 4th was also a big time for the lumber men and families when they rode the train to their annual picnic area in Sisson. The line was extended to Bur ney in 1955 and a big golden spike dedication ceremony was held and a hail storm developed which left hail the depth of two feet in some places. Diesel en gines are now used exclusive ly on the line. The railroad story was brought to a conclusion with the telling of the terrible snow storm of 1937-38 when the train was lost in a great bank of County , snow for five days. The railroad j didn't own a rotary plow, just j a Russell plow, which resembles , the bow of a ship and pushes the snow clearing the tracks, The 18-foot bank of snow was too much for the 13-foot plow and the steam went down, and they were faced with the pros pect of freezing to death. One man was killed when thrown under the grinding wheels of the train while trying to batter a way thru the drift. The 50 peo ple aboard the train made their way to a section house where a track worker and family stayed, and they lived on tor tilas and anything else they could scrape up to keep alive. Finally every snowplow and every locomotive the road owned came thru and brought them back to McCloud. Third Speaker Mrs. Stratton, the third speaker gave a brief story of the life of Aunly Fellows, a be loved pioneer, whose kindness and generosity endeared her to the hearts of all who knew her. Mrs. Hazel Pollock, curator, gave her report about the 4th grade students of Montague touring the museum and finding the Indian exhibit very interest ing as they are studying about them at this time. The Museum was opened especialy to accommodate the Royal Court of Amaranths who were visiting the local order in Yreka. On display were Indian baskets from the Siskiyou area and also Arizona which belong to the Gillis collection and loaned to the museum. Dr. Stevenson to Speak Mrs. Lewis Foulke gave a re port on the Symposium she re cently attended and Mr. Foulke announced that the next month's speaker for the Historical So ciey will be Dr. Elmo Steven son, president, of Southern Ore gon college.
