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.

SEEDING EFFORTS This drill and tractor was used as forest
service personnel worked to seed Silver Fork basin in the high
Siskiyou cattle range recently. 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.

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.

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

Siskiyou
the first right of way in 1881
to the Central Pacific railroad,
Mrs. Schrader told of the Sis-
sons' many activities and of
their descendants, the many
businesses and properties
owned by the family. 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.
Mrs. Schrader announced the
Heirlooms group would meet at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dick
Bliss in Mount Shasta where
