Familiar Landmark In Old Stone Building
Gone As Progress Wipes Out Link With
Past; Bunch Town Butcher Shop Torn Down
By EDITH McLEOD
Almost as if ashamed of it, the
last tangible, connecting link, be
tween our modern city and the il
lustrious, pioneer days of Linkvllle
Is being wiped out in the destruc
tion of the little 68-year-old stone
building on the grounds of the new
Veterans' Memorial Park. What a
pity It had to fall rather than stand
as a monument to our dead pio
neers and the founding of our
cityl .
It was built only 18 years after
George Nurse founded the city by
Installing a ferry cross Link river
in 1867 and in building the first
small structures on the eastern
bank, near where our present
bridge is located. It was only 12
years after the Modoc War, Z. P.
Moody was Governor of Oregon,
and Orover Cleveland was Presi
dent of the United States,
An era of good times for this
territory came in 1885, and the
first church in town, the Presby
terian church near the- corner of
Pine and 3rd Streets, was built. It
was dedicated in 1885, And it was
in that same year that Judge G. W.
Smith hired Louis Biehn to con
struct the stone building (of native
stone) in what was then known lo
cally as Bunch Town that part of
the village around the bridge and
Conger Avenue. The name String
Town was applied to the part of
town scattered tram and to 8th
streets. 384 souls made up the pop
ulation of Linkville. ' '
The land upon which Judee Smith
built was deeded to the State of
Oregon, Feb. 26, 1872, from the
U. S. Government, signed by (A
Delano, secretary of state. It
passed from the state of Oregon
to George Nurse on Feb, 26, 1878,
Other high points in the abstract
of property are: dedicated to the
town of Linkville, Aug. 27, 1881;
from Nurse to William A. Wright,
in 1881; Wright to Arthur D. Car
rick, Sept. 1, 1881; from Carrick
to Manning, Sept. 20, 1881; and
from Manning to Judge George W,
Smith; Smith to J. C. Rutenio in
1001; Rutenio to Thomas Hampton
in 1010. ,..,-.
A butcher shop first occupied
the building. It may have been the
butcher shop of William Smith as'
McKenny's Pacific Coast Directory
for 1886-'87, in listing Linkvllle's

As a butcher shop it continued
until the disastrous, $50,000 fire of
1889 wiped out most of the business
section. Only the stone building, and
the bridge (which was saved by the
one hand pump) were left stand
ing. After this the building re
mained vacant for a while.
In 1892 another fire destroyed
a section of the town and D. B.
Worthington, publisher of the Morn
ing Express (the second weekly
newspaper of Linkville) was
burned out. He moved into the
stone building where he continued
his paper under the name of Klam
ath Falls Morning Express, Link
ville having outgrown its childhood
when it reached maturity that year
by being chartered under the more
sedate name of Klamath Falls. The
highlight of Worthlngton's career
here was the publication of his
souvenir edition of Jan. 10, 1895,
after which he sold the paper to
Joseph G. Pierce and George J.
Farnsworth.
In the fall of 1894 the building
survived another disastrous fire,
and in the fall of 1901 Smith sold
the building to J. .C, Hutenic, a
young attorney who arrived from
Salem In the spring of 1899 with
his wfe and twin girls (Mrs. A. C.
Yaden and the writer.) Dr. Reames
now occupied the first floor, and
Mr. Rutenio -the 1 second, floor,
though later he moved downstairs.
His tenure was around 9 or 10
years. In-1903 Dii George H. Mer
ryman took over Dr. Reame6' prac
tice and had -'his office there for
about .a year ' and a half before
opening the Star Drug Store with
Dr. George Wright, at Main and 4th
streets. - . - '
Dr. W. H. Boyd occupied part
of the ' building' for a while, rent
ing his dental, off ice froin Dr. Mer
ryman. At that 'time the lot west
of the building was vacant. The
"Ankeny building" adjoined to the
east; next came Dick Hammond's
store, and adjoining that, on the
corner , of Center street, was Harry
VanValkenburg's Jewelry store and
telegraph office he having tinker
ed with the Morse code in his spare
time until- he became efficient
enough to open the first telegraph
office in the this part of the coun
try. Ky Taylor's barber shop oc
cupied part of the floor space.
Back of the stone building were
the two substitutes for modern
plumbing,, and back of them on the
nearby shore of Lake Ewauna was
Henry Jenkin's truck garden. The
rich, black soil grew vegetables
which could not be surpassed. Pos
sibly the above mentioned "substi
tutes" and others near by added
further richness to the soil.
In 1910 Mr. Rutenlc sold the
building to Thomas Hampton for
$1250. The property remained in
the Hampton family for about 35
years.
Sights strange to us of 1953, the
old stone building has seen.

2 to 4 wagons heavily loaded with
required commodities passed by

history of Klamath Falls and it Is

Secret Vote
WASHINGTON P) Top admin
istration olficials were reported
convinced today that President Ei
senhower's proposal lor secret government-supervised
strike vote6 in
labor disputes is all but dead.
The m-oDosal was certain to
come in for more discussion dur
ing Secretary pf Labor Mitchell's
return appearance ai a senate i-a-
bor . Committee hearing for fur
ther questioning on Elsenhower's
M-polnt program lor revising me
Taft-Hartley labor law.
Lewis Raps
Ike's NLRB
Candidate
By ROWLAND EVANS Jit.
WASHINGTON (P) John L. Lew.
is today denounced Albert C, Bee
son. President Eisenhower's nom
inee, ior tlie National Labor Rela
tions Board, as a "selt-styied union
buster" who "possesses an aston
ishing bios' against labor.
Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers, wired all members
of the Senate Labor committee,
now considering the nomination:
"It is inconceivable that any
senator . . . who takes the time
to read the record would in good
conscience unleash-, with the power
of government behind him, such
a raging protagonist of the ex
ploiter of labor in the nation.
Meanwhile, the committee scnen
uled a fourth meeting on the nom
ination of Beeson. a San Jose,
Calif,, businessman who would
bring the five-man board to full
strength.
If approved by the committee
and then by the Senate, Beeson
would be the third Eisenhower ap
pointee to take a seat on the NLRB
thus giving the administration
a clear majority. Beeson has told
the committee he would approach
his duties without bias.
During close questioning by com
mittee Democrats last Wednesday,
Beeson said he thought the NLRB
under former President Truman
had administered the Taft-Hartley
law to favor labor over manage
ment.
Chairman H. Alexander Smith
(R-NJ) expressed confidence that
Beeson will be approved by both
the Labor Committee and the Sen
ate, but a committee vote appeared
unlikely today.
Democrats have indicated they
fear that Beeson might reflect the
management point of view in board
decisions.
Lewis said in his wire that Bee
son "admits to a prejudical favori
tism toward employers and a
vengeful attitude toward labor
which borders on hysterical malig
nancy, I protest the confirmation
of the self-styled union-buster Bee
son," -, i -:
Most recently, Beeson has been
industrial relations vice-president
for the Food, Machinery and Chem
ical Corp. of San Jose.

On Strike Issue Dead
Mitchell, due half an hour later
before the House Labor Commit
tee, was to be followed at the Sen
ate hearing by W. B. Barton, gen
eral counsel of the XJ, S. chamber
of commerce.
Informed sources who asked not
to be quoted by name said the
administration has been doubtful
all along that Congress would ap
prove the strike vote recommenda
tion. They said Eisenhower's cmet
labor advisers now feel the pro
posal would meet overpowering op
position in ine oeiiaie.
Barton said the Chamber feels
Eisenhower's labor message to
Congress had "a sincere ring and
paves the way for needed changes"
in the Taft-Hartley Act.
However, he disclosed that the
Chamber supports only about a
half the President's recommenda
tionsincluding a form of the
strike vote proposal and "ques
tions" others.
Barton said the Chamber be
lieves a strike vote should be taken
prior to a walkout "and only after
collective bargaining negotiations
have reached an impasse."
Elsenhower did not stipulate
whether he thought the vote should
come before or during a strike.
However, a bill drafted at the
White House and introduced by
Chairman H. Alexander Smith B
NJ) of the Senate Labor Commit
tee provides for a vote after the
strike has started. Mitchell said
the vote should be taken before a
strike, '
