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.

'Big Kids' Take
Over Halloween
Night In Phoenix
PHOENIX Chief of Police
John Atchison of Phoenix this
week expressed thanks to all
who aided in patrolling the city
during Halloween. The chief al
so had praise for the young peo
ple of the community on their
good behavior.
Phoenix had an unexpected
"fun night" Halloween evening,
mostly for the older kids.
After the little goblins, ghosts,
witches and devils had had their
fun at trick or treating, the
older "kids" took over.
It reportedly began when one
couple noticed a dim light out
at the end of their driveway.
Leaving their house lights on,
they sneaked out and caught a
couple of neighbors trying to
block the driveway.
Soon the horseplay spread and
many of the "big kids" were out
tricking each other.
Phoenix Watermastcr Irving
Hascom, who was patroling,
stopped at his home for a cup
of coffee at one point during
the evening. When he came
back out he found the back of
his pickup piled high with street
barricades and the like.
Hanscom was delighted, how
ever. The barricades needed to
be picked up anyway, he ex
plained, and he hadn't had time
to do it.
There were no reports of any
damage.

er, -Jackson County 4-H Exten
sion Agent. -
She took the test riding Bour
bon's Wonder Queen, an Ameri

and "Queenine" demonstrated
were side stepping in both di
rections, two tracking in both
directions, pivot in complete
circle on forefeet, pivot in com
plete circle on haunches, flying
change while cantering, and
many others.
Shown At Fairs
Miss Krambeal has shmvn

old. '
For her test, Miss Krambeal
chose to ride English style, al
though she rode Western this
year in both the county and
state fairs. The test is such that
a rider may use either type of
