BILLBOARD
By BILL JENKINS
The Old West had a brief flash
of glory again last Thursday, and
the queen candidates and their es
corts bad a wonderful time.
The occasion was the annual
. queen's outing, held this year at
me Liskey Ranch un the VBlley.
- And If you think there wasn't plen
: ty of fun and excitement you
cnould have been along.
Everything in the way of fun
and games, from the start right on
tnrougn to the wlndup.
Mabel Liskey did It up brown,
. as only the Liskey'n can. and bull.
, dozed out a road from the feed
lot well up on the high, rocky
. ridges tack of the ranch, where
a tent and. tables were set up on
a promontory affording a view of
two valleys, the distant . ranches
and the rolling hills of Foe Valley
and the foothills.
The queens and their horses took
off from the fairgrounds with Keith
Rice, one of the rodeo directors,
furnishing a truck to haul 'em and
Dale "Two Uun" Mattoon out to
lend a hand, along with a few
other directors who stood around
and eave good advice.
Having gotten them off, Charley
Read took off in bis pickup . to
letch the Sheriff's Fosse s chuck
wagon, the fancy one with built
In stoves and all the trimmings,
Anyhoo, we all wound up at the
' ranch and from there the trip real
ly got off. The queens and their
Caddie Club escort rode off Into the
hills escorted by a pair of the
younger Liskeys while the rest of
us . checked the ranchhouse and
picked up little Items like water,
mnt," pop, emu oeans, etc.
Then off Into the hills and up to
the picnic spot. All well and going
smoothly. Left the picnic spot to
neaa oacc lor town and found the
chuck wagon kitty-cornered across
the road halfway up with one wheel
leaning over at a discouraging an
gle and a well broken axle.
At least we had a few advan
tages that the old pioneers didn't
have when they crossed the plains.
We sat down and waited while a
ranch truck oame up with a weld
ing outfit on It and an expert to
. run it. After great deal of grunt
ing, Jacking, hammering and use
of a cutting torch a weld-was
finally achieved In a temporary.

How temporary we didn't know.
With cheers amid cloud of dust we
took off again, only to collapse In
a few yards with the axle dangling

CAUGHT IN
By DEB ADDISON .
THIS IS A MEMORABLE time. It
. wiu be remembered as the Coro
nation Month, when "Lllllbet" be
came Queen Elizabeth II of Eng
land. It will be remembered as the
month of the armistice of the Ko
rean War and-or the third anniver
sary of same. Yesterday, June 13,
was remembered as the 100th an
niversary of the discovery of Cra
ter Lake.' Tomorrow, June 14, will
be remembered as the 50th anni
versary of the day Bob Sproat, an
emigrant from Scotland, sailed past
the Statue of Liberty en route to
, Boise, Idaho. It further will be
remembered as the 23th annlver-
. eary of the time that Bob Sproat,
Idaho sheep man, arrived In Klam
ath Falls to enter the furniture
business. It still further will be
remembered as that nasty, wet
spring when people said that the
atomlo explosions raised hob with
the weather.
IN SPITE OF THE millions of her
loyal subjeots who crowded Lon
don to see the coronation, there
probably were more people in oth
er parts of the world who saw
Elizabeth get her crown through
electronics and celluloid. TV sent
it all over the--world: now you can
get a front row seat and see It in
color In a movie theater.
Friends who saw the coronation
on TV In San Francisco and Fort
land said that here, for once, was
something good on video. They
said that the commentary by Sir
Lawrence Olivier, the knighted ac
tor, was something that cannot be
tied.
And that brings up an Ameri
canism which is one of the typical
tilings that mukes a typical British
er look down his august nose at us.
The British provided a perfect tele
cast, which gave a better view of
the ceremony than any of the lords
and ladles had, fend turned It loose
to the world for the good of the
empire. The American TV net
works than sold the "show" to ad
vertising sponsors.
The British didn't think it quite
cricket to show Her Royal High
ness kneeling at the Stone of Scone
and then flash on a deodorant
commercial on the horrors ol BO.

events to very prosaic, but very

came through like a pioneer. He
dashed back to the ranch, rum
maged about until he found a cou
ple of Hardwood beams, a few as
sorted chains and a tool kit and
came back up. Then a rig was
fixed that differed not a whit from
the skids that our forefathers used
when a wheel broke on one of their
Cones toga wagons. The beams
were jammed under the ruptured
wheel, the end was boosted over
the bumper of a pickup, a hole
bored through them and jack han
dle inserted to keep 'em clinging
to the bumper and In no time at
all the make shift rig was whisked
up to tlie picnic site. :
From there on out It was a mat
ter of eating, drinking hot coffee
made on the chuck wagon and hav
ing fun. .
A large sized vote of thanks
should certainly go to Mabel and
her hospitality to the girls and the
rest of tne party.

a hand In It. It's one of the big

We might mention the fact there
that there were a few of us up
there with problems. Like Charley
not being able to get the chuck
wagon back .-to. town. Then there
was me, who had pledged to be
back at the office not later than
ten In the morning. With the road
blocked and work to be supervised

could I? And then there was B.C.

telephone company. While he's out

Oreer Drew, another director, who
was wearing what he calls "track
boots," those crepe soled' cowboy
boots with ventilated tops. He was
wondering if they were fancy
enough and if the tops would let

By Ken McLeod
One hundred years have passed
since the young prospector, John
Westly' HUunan, on June 12.' 1853.
became the first white man ' of
record to look down upon Oregon's
cnoisest jcweii tne .lake - now
called "Crater:". To Hlllman goes
the honor of discovery, but in
searcning tne record one wonders
to what extent the honor Is truly
accoraea among the manv discov
erers of Oregon's famous lake. The
first man reaps the harvest, how
ever, it may not be beyond the
realm or possibility that some long
ana lorgotten trapper may have
been there before him. ..
The story of the many "discov
eries" of the Jewell of the Cascades
has been told before but I will
chance the risk of becoming a
bore and review the steps of dis
covery. It was late May or . early
June in 1863, the people of Jack
sonville heard a rumor that a
party , of Yreka miners had, dis
covered the famous "Lost Cabin"
mine a fabulously rich -"lost"
prospect supposed to be located
somewhere In the headwaters of
the Rogue or Umpqua Rivers. '
The Yreka miners were at that
very moment n their way ; to
"locate" the Oregon gold. Rumor
fired the rivalry of the hoys of
Jacksonville and so a party was
nastily organized to set out In pur
suit of the . Callfomians. O. C.
Stearns, who was well acquainted
with many of the members of the
Jacksonville trailing group, has
called the party the "Loudon-Hill.
man-McManus" party and states
mat wnne Jonn Hlllman was
member of the party he was not
the leader, to which post later
writers nave elected him.
Both the Yreka and the pursuing
Jacksonville group returned home
unsuccessful hi the quest of the
laouious" treasure thev sought
and even Hillman's discovery
passea unnoticed as being the
priceless gem of the mountains
nut merely a geological curlositv
of little value to men who sought
out oniy goia. Actual publicity re
garding this treasure of the Gas.
cades fell to the lot of other "dis-
coverers.". Stearns states tliat.
'The persons who claimed to have
first seen Crater Lake allowed 31
years to elapse before their claims
were presented to the public and
men only through another party."
The Jacksonville nartv renorted
their find to the people at home
and called ft the "Deep Blue Lake."
Apparently they practically forgot
the incident for no further publicity
appears to come from that source.
The lack of public interest is at
tributed by Stearns to the fact
that, "no paper was then published
in Oregon south of Oregon Citv."
Stearns then accuses the "dis
coverers" of lack of Imagination
and appreciation of this wonder
of Nature by stating, "As a matter
of historical truth, few peoDle
heard of the lake from any of
these reported discoverers, and
they did not really know where it
was located as they were lost
at the time of stumbling onto it.
and for several days thereafter."
The second dlscoverv of the lake
fell to Sessions Nye - and party.
another group of gold miners re
turning to Jacksonville from the
newly discovered John Day mines.
The date was October 21, 1862, and
ccoraing to steams. "Mr. Nye
states that he and his party was
told of the finding of a 'mysterious
and deep lake' somewhere In the
Cascade range, several years pre
viously by James and John Hlll
man." The Hillman's apparently
had joined the Sessions party at
the Klamkth Marsh during ' their
eastward trip to the John Day
country but did not return home
with them. The miners discovered
the lake by taking short-cut from
tho Klamath Marsh to Jacksonville
rather than going south through
Indian country to the Southern
Emigrant Road, the "Applegate
Trail." ... , v -
John Sessions later wrote a hnf
account of havln? wn i
and stated, -Tht waters were of
a deep blue color, causing us to
name it 'Blue Lake' while others

THE DOCTOR SAYS

A correspondent writes ti.at.she

at least once a year ever since she
has been in the United States for
the past 15 years. I might say
that being afflicted with poison
ivy is not restricted to those who
have come from elsewhere; many
native-born, who frequently should
know better, get into the same
trouble.
Poison Ivy grows only in North
American from Canada to Mexico.
It . is entirely absent from other
parts of the world. There is no
poison Ivy season, as the stalk is
dangerous in winter even when
the leaves are not growing. In
summer, however, more people
are out of doors and hence more
likely to be exposed to this poi
sonous skin irritant.
Thousands of neonl develon a

every year, either through pure

not know enough to recognize
poison ivy when they see it. It

they could breath better and dry

President Eisenhower will never
speak with the golden tones for
which Franklin D. Roosevelt was
famous. And yet he may prove
himself a more effective perform,
er in his direct appeals to tha
nation, ,
In his first major radio address
to the people not long back the
President spoke with impressive'
simplicity, earnestness, and fo-ce-fulness.
The speech rang with'no
oratorical flourishes and bore few
marks of the elocutionist's art
But it had the impact of con.
vlction. The President made most
people feel he desired fervently to
serve them well, to be a wise and
careful guardian of thoir hones.
- Now Mr. Eisenhower has supply
mented this with his first nation
wide television talk to America
And, once again the effect upon
the listening public must have '
been powerful.
The President found an Infnrm.i
note for his TV appearance. He
sat with four of his cabinet mem
bers, and in the course of the
half hour gave" each a chance to
say a few things about the opera,
tlon of his department. He him
self made some opening nmi
remarks and then acted there
after as a sort of moderator, nut.
ting in an occasional question '
making the bridge to the i nnt
speaker.
In this role, this time at least
he was not wholly at his ease'
He fidgeted a bit, and there was
a little stiffness to the give and
take with the cabinet members
Now and then one could see the
clear stamn of the nrofessionai
TV stagers, who probably thought
they were putting on Just another
panel show.
Nevertheless, the performance
represented a friendly reaching
into the homes of Americans, to
ten mem pmiiuy wnai me govern
ment is doing about some of their-
problems. It humanized the fed
eral establishment, reducing it for
a brief span from a ponderous,
Impersonal, gray monster to m
faces of a few Individuals
This is perhaps the "fireside
chat" with camera. And - since
TV's role in last year's campaign
was admittedly strong, few would
doubt that the fireside chat thus
modernized may turn out to be
the President's most potent weapon
in marshaling public support.
