NEALON Mull. Tribune Table Rock Correspondent . , By KATHERINE CHAPMAN Mail Tribune' Correspondent HORNBROOK A pile of dust is about all that remains now of the old T. Jones Hotel here. Built by Thomas Jones in 1888 at the time the railroad went through Hornbrook and north in to Orogon, the old building in its day was a beehive of activity. Hornbrook was the division point of the railroad, and as many as 32 trai.is a day huffed and puffed their way back and forth over the Siski you mountains, six steam en gines at a time being required to haul the longer trains. The dwindling number of 'old timers" in this area recall when the old hotel was a popular and fashionable stop-over on the scenic route through northern California. But times change, . the division point was moved to Dunsmuir, and the old hotel be gan its downgrade. The building, .which also houses the "T. Jones Empori um," was sold several years ago to Ed Smith who managed the store for many, even before he bought the building, and he and Mrs. Smith still run the store. Recently, Smith sold the hotel end of the building to Don and Jean Fulcher of Mcdford, who are tearing down the building and selling the old bricks of which it was built. There is some disagreement around town as to where the bricks were made, some be lieving they-were made in the old kiln at Henley where , the bricks for the Oscar Barnum home were made, others holding they were made in Little Shas ta and naulcd over here by team. Be that as it may, whoever had a hand In their manufac ture knew his brick-making bus iness, as all are in excellent condition, and have all the charm and . historical . interest so much sought after by "old brick" buffs. ' ' Mr. Kenton is at Sacred Heart Hospital recuperating (rem emergency iurgiry he underwent Monday. He is reoorK-l doing quite well and hopes will be back with a lot in say next Friday.
