    It is with deep regret that we note the passing of each member of our old pioneer contingent, but, after enduring the hardship of pioneer life, it is a sweet solace in those who survive that the later pioneers who passed away enjoyed the luxuries which modern existence makes possible.
    One of the most beloved of Jackson County's older citizens was Mrs. Katherine Walch, who breathed her last at her home, 820 South Riverside Avenue, at 11:45 p.m. Monday evening.
    Katherine Walch was born at Chillicothe, [Wapello] County, Iowa, April 5, 1852, and was aged, at her passing, 77 years, 9 months and 1 day.
    Mrs. Walch was a daughter of Alexander Postan and Dica Postan who lived at Chillicothe, Iowa, and were of the oldest families of Iowa, who between 1852 and 1860 helped in many ways to settle different sections of Iowa.
    It was some years later, in the year 1868, that Katherine Postan and J. S. Walch were united in marriage. They lived but a short time in Iowa, moving from there to Nebraska, where they took up homesteading. Seven years later in 1876 they moved to Oregon and made their home for a time at Eugene; later in 1882 they came to Southern Oregon, settling 3 miles southeast of Eagle Point. Mr. Walch passed away in 1900, and Mrs. Walch has made her home in the Eagle Point district until 1929, at which time she thought it best to come to Medford to live with her daughter, Mrs. Clara Bergman.
    The surviving children are six daughters and six sons, Lelah Thomas of Winlock, Wash., Bertha Holts of Sams Valley, Corda Frazee of Spokane, Wash., Emma Messall of Lake Creek, Clarada Watkins of Oroville, Calif., Clara Bergman of Medford. Sons, J. S. Walch of Stockton, Calif, John Walch of Lake Creek, Ore., Lou Walch of Lake Creek, D. B. Walch of Eagle Point, Lloyd Walch of Lake Creek, Bill Walch of Eagle Point. Also 27 grandchildren and three sisters, Emma Grigsby, Mina Clayton and Sarah Turpin, all of Portland.
    The funeral arrangements are in charge of the Perl Funeral Home and will be announced hereafter.

    Tuesday we dedicate our new hall. In connection with this event the following may be of interest to our members and friends:
    Eagle Point Grange was organized on March 25, 1925, by 36 charter members, most of whom are still among our most active and enthusiastic Grangers. Brother [William L.] Blackwell's memory is still held in high regard by these charter members. He was 83 years of age at the time and traveled from his home in Rogue River to the field of his activities, and from house to house on foot as he spread the gospel of the need of cooperation among farmers and told of the advantages of the Grange organization.
   On the first roster of this Grange were the names of H. W. Ward, as master; Charlie Givan, secretary, and Mrs. Maud Ditsworth, lecturer.
    Before the first of the year 1925, the roll contained 48 members. At that time the following officers took charge: I. R. Kline, master; Charlie Givan, secretary, and Gertrude Haak, lecturer. These officers held their chairs for three years, until the beginning of the year 1929.
    During this time the membership roll increased to 187 members in good standing.
    At a great sacrifice of time and money a fine Grange hall had been built on a lot conveniently located in the town of Eagle Point, and most auspiciously situated between the high school building and the church. This hall was dedicated by State Master Palmiter on January 1, 1928, and was probably one of the most beautiful and completely appointed Grange halls in the state, and a fitting monument to the leadership of Master I. R. Kline and the enthusiastic cooperation of the members. To our great sorrow this hall was destroyed by fire during February 1929.
    During this period a large group of committees were actively engaged in carrying out the various activities of Grange work, and a splendid fraternal spirit existed.
    On January 1, 1929, the following officers took the chairs: A. C. Mittelstaedt, master, Mrs. Edith Weidman, secretary; Mrs. Lulu Ward, lecturer; and the Grange work has been ably carried on by them until the present time, for they were reelected for the year 1930 and are in these chairs at the present time.
    Starting with a well-organized and enthusiastic membership, the first great discouragement came with the burning of our beautiful hall. This disaster cast a mantle of gloom over the whole membership, but discouragement was of short duration, for the membership soon rallied as the need of working for the future instead of living in the present inspired them to again plan for a new hall. These plans were approved in May, 1929, and we occupied our new hall for the first time in August 1929, and in which we have since been very comfortably at home.
    A housewarming was given, to which all Granges and the many friends who assisted us in making our dreams come true were invited. This was an event long to be remembered for the true cooperative spirit, not only among the Grange members, but between the Grange, which represents agriculture, and that group of men and women which represents other industries in the county, was conspicuously in evidence.
    Tonight this Grange hall is to be dedicated by State Master Palmiter, and as we dedicate it to Grange use, let us firmly resolve to use it only for the social, educational, spiritual and economic advancement of the agricultural people and those other friends who seek to promote human welfare.

    The days when Father buggied into town and bought a quart of good whiskey before he tackled purchasing the five yards of calico for Mother's dress and the other knickknacks for the womenfolks at the general merchandise store, lived again Sunday as A. J. Stump and a group of local people perused the 55-year old ledger in the George Brown & Sons store at Eagle Point.
    George Brown (now deceased) and his three sons, J. F. Brown, W. H. Brown and R. G. Brown, the latter three now running the business, first operated the only trading center at Brownsboro, Ore. It is from the old Brownsboro store that the historic ledger was taken. In 1884, they moved their place of business into Eagle Point, where they have maintained all the prestige of true pioneers through the years.
    And still, with the eyes of early trailblazers, the Brown brothers while looking ahead and keeping abreast of the times, pause now and again to cast an eye back over their shoulders appreciatively into the past--into those tallow-candle days, when Mother made her own soap out of a boiling vat of lard and lye, and quiltin' bees took the place of radio and jazz.
    The womenfolks made their own dresses in those days, and got them to look mighty pretty, too. And on several pages of the ledger appears the item, "Five yards of calico--62 cents."
     And what kind of woman would not set her own batch of bread? One sack of flour--80 cents. Homemade bread and raised biscuits--that's what yeast was sold for in those days!
    Some folks didn't have their own chickens, and when the minister came to the house--providing it was a small family entertaining him--two chickens, 50 cents. Lots of folks bought butter, in spite of owning cows. There was not time to make it, with so many other chores to do; three pounds of butter, 50 cents.
    The cannin' season was over and there wasn't much need for sugar, except for the menfolks to eat on their mush at breakfast and a few other things--six pounds, $1. The old home coffee grinder was getting kind of out of whack, but one would reckon it could grind three pounds yet, anyway; three pounds coffee, $1. My land, a sack of potatoes just didn't last no time--25 pounds, 25 cents.
    Winter was coming on and the farm work was light; Father thought he'd better be fixing up that end of the cow barn old Bossy had kicked clean out in a temperamental fit. Yeah, a package of nails, 12½ cents a pound. Let's see, what's that item scrawled across the ledger--the light's growing dim in the store--oh, yes; one quart of whiskey, $1.25.

    REESE CREEK, Ore., Jan. 8.--(Spl.)--James Vestal, youngest son of Grandpa and Grandma Vestal, who reside on the old home place with their daughter, Mrs. Wilford Jack, passed away January 2nd.

Mrs. Jack, who had been called to his bedside, had returned home, thinking all was well, when suddenly he became worse and passed away.
    Mr. Vestal was residing at Yacolt, Wash., at the time of his death.
    He leaves to mourn his passing a wife and three-year-old son, an aged father and mother, four brothers, Mellie, who resided with him, and Tom, Alex and Artie, and a sister, Lizzie Jack, all residents of Reese Creek.
    The remains were shipped to Medford, accompanied by Mrs. Vestal, arriving Sunday. The funeral was held Monday, January 6th, from the Perl undertaking parlors, with interment at the Central Point cemetery.
    The sympathy of the community is with the bereaved.

    We of the Reese Creek Sunday school wish to offer our united and deepest sympathy for the relatives who miss her most, though who could dare say poor Grandma. Not they who believe it is not all of death to die; not they who believe for the just to depart is to be with Christ, which is far better. We therefore believe and can only speak of sorrow as her absence is felt as we miss her from her class, her Christian fellowship and general imparting of choosing warmth her meeting strangely bestowed. A picture of beauty is the story of her life and death; few were the occasions preventing her regular routine of daily toil, her place as a true soldier for the Risen Lord, which to her was not grievous but a stream of joy, no murmurings of the toilsome road, no lingering illness, not long an object of being administered unto, nor cut off from her side of life, seeking not her own, but the joy and comfort of others, though few the days of her illness, still fewer her aching complaints, until the great commander of the battle shared said, it's enough; come on home, thou good and faithful servant; and with hardly a gasp she passed on to receive her reward. Who could not but say, may it even be so with me?
    There is joy for the ones who have toiled for the Lord. Do not fear for that day to arrive; there will be joy awaiting you at the right hand of God, if you've toiled, really toiled for the Lord.
    Love's token from Reese Creek Sunday school.

    So true to life that it probably reminded listeners of similar conditions in their own homes, "Those Who Live In Glass Houses," a play by Nell von der Hellen of Wellen, was broadcast this forenoon over KMED, the Mail Tribune-Virgin station for the Economy Groceria, with Earl Davis, Helen Brayton and Dick Sleeter as the characters. It was one of the writer's best efforts.
    What family is there that does not find greater faults in the children of neighbors than in their own, and what family does not immediately rush to the defense of their own children if they are made the objects of criticism by others? "Tim Jones," "Sophronia," his wife, and "Timothy, Jr.," could easily be an average family.
    The author has a delightful way in writing her dialogue and is developing such a large following that her weekly plays are becoming a matter of anticipation for radio listeners.

    Fire of undetermined origin at 4:30 this morning destroyed the Eagle Point Grange hall. The large building, recently completed to replace the one lost by fire a year ago, was a mass of flames when the fire was discovered. Fire fighters were unable to save furnishings or equipment in the building, destroyed at a loss of approximately $5,000. The Grange carried insurance amounting to $4000.
    Complete mystery surrounds the origin of the fire, as the stove in the building had not been used for two weeks and electric wiring was believed to be faultless. The high school gymnasium near the Grange hall was threatened for a time.
    A meeting of the executive committee of the Eagle Point Grange will be held tonight to consider the matter of rebuilding.
Medford Mail Tribune, March 15, 1930, page 1


    A representative of the state fire marshal's office was expected today in Medford to carry on a complete investigation, in cooperation with the sheriff's office, of the early morning fire Saturday that destroyed the Eagle Point Grange hall, with a loss of $5000. General opinion indicates the building was burned through the efforts of an incendiarist having something against the Grange movement.
    Clues have been found leading to the identity of persons responsible, and the arrival of the deputy fire marshal is expected to clear up the matter. The Grange hall was a new building and had only been completed late last year, after having been rebuilt to replace a similar structure destroyed by fire 13 months before.

    What is planned to be one of the finest dining rooms in Southern Oregon is in the last steps of completion at the Rogue Elk resort above Trail and will be open for business in 10 days, W. G. McDonald, proprietor, announced yesterday. The dining room, located in a separate building opposite the well-known resort, has been in the course of construction for several months and is now receiving its last coats of paint.
    A long row of windows, directly above the Rogue River, afford one of the most beautiful water views in the section. Tables will be placed along the windows. A feature of the establishment will be dancing, with sufficient space assured by the room, 40 by 60 feet in dimension, attractively painted and decorated. A large fireplace adds to the attraction of the west end of the building, and several entrance doors and windows make up the north side of the structure. The kitchen and a soda fountain will be located in the east end, with a store operated in connection with the fountain.
    The dining room will be in charge of Fred C. Bortz, who is serving in a similar capacity at the present resort, which has been attracting quite a number of Medford people on Sundays and during the week because of the tastily prepared meals, cooked by Mrs. Bortz. Several Medford residents were diners there last night, and during the week there were a number of dinner and dancing parties.
    The new dining room is expected to prove one of the most popular in the country and exact date of its opening will probably be made in a few days.

    The dance law, as passed by the last state legislature, is constitutional, and dances within cities of less than 500 population will continue to be under the supervision of county courts, according to District Attorney George Codding, who received a complete copy of the decision this afternoon. The Luke Kincaid case, involving the operation of the Gold Hill dance, was reversed on the contention that the circuit court should have taken into consideration the population of Gold Hill at the time the case came to trial last summer.
    The court had accepted the 1920 census as the only official indicator of population. The defense claimed over 500 people in Gold Hill and had prepared a special census, which was disregarded as evidence in court.
    The supreme court decision will not affect the Eagle Point pavilion, located in a hamlet where the population is hardly in excess of 200 people, but will probably mean that the Gold Hill dances may now be operated without procuring permission from the county court.

    Times were hot in Oregon when Indians in moccasins slipped down the mountain trails, shooting arrows from ambush into the side of a white or walking off with a scalp--but not half so hot as the days of '61 and '62 in Missouri, according to Perry Foster, 87, one of Southern Oregon's earliest pioneers.
    "No I didn't follow any sweetheart across the plains when I made the trip," Mr. Foster denied the reporter's accusations yesterday. "I had plenty of better reasons for coming." He chuckled and his eyes sparkled as he leaned on the green wood cane he held in his hand. He removed his hat to display the thick, silky, white hair that reaches back from his brow, where few wrinkles have furrowed the skin.
    "I don't suppose we'd better talk about that though." He laughed again. "Missouri was a warm place during the Civil War days. I was just a young chap, but I was glad to get out into the Indian country.
    "No, I wasn't afraid of them." His contagious laugh, which has no tones expressive of 87 years, rang out again. He leaned back in his chair. "The Indians were afraid of us. I remember crossing the Snake River." He paused awhile, apparently conquered by the spell, memories of the great adventure cast upon him. "I drove four mules across the plains," he added a few minutes later.
    "There were ox teams, too. Three hundred and sixty wagons in our train winding their way from Missouri to Oregon, back in '62. I've lived here ever since.
    "In the evenings we'd gather round the camp fires, tune up the fiddles and kick up the sand. No! I tell you I didn't have any girl in that train. You're just trying to get me to say something." He laughed and his cheeks turned pink as he turned to the small group near him as if for protection. "There were lots of girls along, of course. But I found my sweetheart after I got out here. She came across the plains from Iowa."
    Mr. Foster, who makes his home on a ranch near Trail, settled first on land near Medford, now known as the Phipps place. "That was in '62," he said yesterday. "There wasn't any Medford here then. Nothing at all; not even railroad tracks."
    He came across the plains without parents or other relatives to seek his fortune in the great western country. He is known to most hunters, fishermen and campers, who journey up Rogue River, although hunting and fishing are not his favorite sports. Many tired travelers have stopped at his well for a drink during the years before autos carried them from city to mountains, and mountains to city in a few hours.
    He is now spending three weeks in Medford visiting with friends and will return to his ranch, "When my son, John, comes for me," he said yesterday.

    Declared to be her best radio playlet since she began writing, "Zipplie's Beaux," by Mrs. Nell von der Hellen of Wellen, was broadcast over KMED, the Mail Tribune Virgin station, yesterday for the Economy Groceteria. An original plot, well acted by Helen Brayton, Wiott Clark and Earle Davis, followed the efforts of two country swains in making love to a country lass.
    As it happened, the musician, played by Wiott Clark, failed to ride a donkey and lost $200 on a bet to his rival, who also won the girl. The play was filled with clever lines and brought numerous telephone calls of appreciation to the radio station.
    Wiott Clark, whose radio experience has been limited, is declared to have taken his part remarkably well, and it is probable that Southern Oregon radio fans will hear him often in plays to be produced in the future.

   Since the burning of the Grange hall the school is without a stage on which to present their operetta and play. But in spite of this sudden disaster these entertainments will not be abandoned. A probable solution is to build a temporary stage in the gymnasium for this purpose.
    The Red team under the leadership of Marguerite Marshall were the victors of the subscription contest with a lead of 31 subscribers, while the Green team with Teen Dahack as captain had 22 subscriptions, making a total of 53 subsscriptions for this community and earning the student body a sum of $31.80.

Donna Brown was excellent as a sophisticated coed, while Fred Compton, the villain, assisted well in all her plots. Much honor must be given to Walter Davis, a typical old-time farmer. John Medley did very well as a wealthy motion picture producer, as did Bill Davidson as a member of the picture staff. Much credit need be given to Miss Burt, who coached the play.

    WASHINGTON, D.C., April 17.--(Special)--The House of Representatives passed the fish culture stations bill yesterday, including an appropriation of $35,000 for the Elk Creek hatchery on the Rogue River near Trail. The bill now goes to the Senate.
     This bill was originally introduced by Representative Hawley, passed both branches of Congress last year but died for lack of President Coolidge's signature. It was reissued by Representative Hawley at this session.
    The $35,000 for the Elk Creek hatchery is to provide an adequate water system to properly maintain the hatchery by installing a pipe line up the Rogue to carry sufficient water at any time of the year.
    The Macleay estate, on whose property the Elk Creek hatchery is located, has made a signed agreement to donate the land on which the hatchery is now located and a right of way through their property for the pipe line, in the event the $35,000 appropriation bill becomes a law, and the government agrees to proceed with the work.
    Word was received here today that Robert Russell of Seattle, of the Bureau of Fisheries, and Matt Ryckman, state superintendent of hatcheries, will be here tomorrow and, among other things, will consider this proposition.

    For the first time in the history of the Eagle Point school the girls' basketball team this year stepped into the competition and won the championship of secondary schools in Jackson County. The championship caliber was due in large measure to the number of veteran players in the lineup, together with the stellar work of Mary Hannaford as forward. Miss Hannaford has played a consistent game throughout her four years in high school, and is both fast and rangy, as well as being an almost certain converter of short shots. During the last part of the season Sybil Caster, the other forward, developed an uncanny knack of converting on long shots and free throws and closely rivaled her scoring mate in total of points.
    The team entered the season badly weakened in the center by the loss of Philbrook, and it was not until the discovery of Hazel Smith in the eighth grade that the center was strengthened and the team began to function properly. Much credit is also due Freda Chambers for consistent guarding throughout the season.
    During the conference season the team was at no time in danger of dropping a game except with the Talent girls, their closest and hardest competitors. The second game with Talent was lost on the home floor by two points after a sensational rally by the visitors. The resulting tie was played off on the Jacksonville floor. This game was fast and hard fought until the end, when Talent collapsed and allowed Eagle Point to work out an eight-point lead.
    The final game of the season was played with Central Point, the winners of the other conference. This game was probably the fastest, cleanest, and the closest game throughout any game played. The outcome was in doubt until the final whistle. The score was: Eagle Point 33, Central Point 30.
    The team will be greatly weakened next year by the loss through graduation of Misses Hannaford and Caster, stellar forwards, and Elsie Wilhite, guard. Ernestine Dahack will also be missing from the lineup, having played four years, though of junior standing only.

    A delegation of Eagle Point citizens, headed by Royal Brown and Roy A. Ashpole and a number of housewives of that district, have filed a request with the county court for the oiling of the Little Butte Creek road as far as it runs through the city. The county court has the matter under advisement, and if the appropriation for road oil holds out, the oiler will be dispatched to that area.
    Eagle Point citizens say that the Little Butte Creek road is extensively traveled and that in the summer time and autumn the dust flies high, wide and handsome, settling on the newly washed clothes, the dining room table, and otherwise annoying the womenfolks. They hold an application of oil on the road would be a blessing and a rigid test for the dust-settling ability of the oil.
    Oil has been used so far this season on the Kings Highway detour and a strip on Beall Lane. Oiling of the Ruch highway, from pavement to pavement, and the Sams Valley highway is scheduled. If the funds for oil are not exhausted then, the balance will be used in areas where they will do the most good.
    The Beall Lane strip was smeared with smudge oil, as an experiment, and to date has proved satisfactory.
    It is expected that housewives all over the county will ask relief from the dust nuisance, via the oiler, and the county court expects to do as much along this line as time and finances will permit.

    Salem, Ore., July 1.--(AP)--An echo of the historic sheep and cattle wars was heard today when the supreme court handed down an opinion modifying the decree of Judge C. M. Thomas of the lower court for Jackson County in the case of the Big Butte Horse and Cattle Association against Alex Anderson and others. Justice McBride wrote the opinion.
    The lower court held for Anderson and his associates in the suit that was brought by the association to restrain the defendants from running sheep upon an alleged cattle range in Jackson County.
    "The decree will be so changed by a decree here," says the McBride opinion, "as to enjoin defendants from occupying any land within the boundaries named without express permission of the owner, and without either having the same enclosed by a fence sufficient to prevent sheep from straying therefrom, or having them sufficiently herded to prevent them from straying."
    Neither party is allowed costs or disbursements in the circuit or supreme courts.
    The modification, according to A. E. Reames, attorney for the Big Butte Horse and Cattle Association, "gives them all they asked for."
    The case was originally tried before C. M. Thomas, in the circuit court of this county, and concerns range right in the Big Butte and Little Butte creeks country. Much of the evidence in the lower court went back to pioneer days, to show that the range had been always a cattle range.
    The horse and cattle association is composed of 20 stockmen, including Gus Nichols, M. F. Hanley, the Gepperts and the Matthews. At one time Gus Nichols was president of the organization. The decree is of high interest to Jackson County stockmen, and is based upon a law passed by the 1925 legislature.
    The modified decree holds that sheep cannot be grazed upon the land in question without permission of the owner, and further, that same must be fenced.

    To the editor:
    The statement made in the Tribune story Tuesday evening with reference to the Big Butte cattle case was decidedly erroneous with respect to the facts involved in the case. The law in question in this case applies only to Jackson County, and the decision is a very important one to the cattle and sheep business of this county, in that it interprets the law and defines the respective rights of cattlemen and sheepmen to graze their herds in Jackson County. The cattlemen in this suit were endeavoring to restrict the sheepmen in their grazing privileges, but the supreme court refused to permit them to do so and decided in favor of the sheepmen.
    The material facts involved in the case are that Alex Anderson, the defendant, was pasturing his sheep upon a large tract of privately owned unenclosed land with the consent of J. W. Dressler, a real estate man who was agent of the owners, and the Big Butte Cattle Association brought suit to restrain him from ranging his sheep on these privately owned lands and alleged that there was a large body of other lands, including these privately owned lands and surrounding the same, which was an exclusive cattle range.
    Anderson was not interested in ranging his sheep on any of the lands, except those privately owned as above stated, and so far as Anderson was concerned the question for decision was whether or not he had the right to graze his sheep on those lands. The supreme court decided that he had the right to graze his sheep on the unenclosed privately owned lands, so long as he had the permission of the owner and herded them off of such part of the public domain as might constitute an exclusive cattle range.
    The Big Butte Cattle Association, through its attorney, Mr. Reames, took the position both in the circuit court and in the supreme court that a man had no right to graze his sheep on privately owned lands in a cattle range unless the lands were fenced. The circuit court decided against it, saying that the sheep owner had that right, and the supreme court has sustained that decision. The law, therefore, now is, as it always has been, that a man has the right to graze his sheep on privately owned lands in a cattle range. The decision is a victory for the sheepmen, and the material contentions of Anderson were sustained.

    Rev. John and Mrs. McDonald, who have been living at the Rogue Elk Resort for the past three weeks, spent part of the day in Medford today and returned to the resort this afternoon, where they will continue to make their home until their plans are definitely settled for the future, following their return some time ago from having spent nine months in Europe.
    They have just received a letter from their son Harold and wife (the latter formerly Lucile Saunders, former well-known Oregon newspaper woman), stating that at the time of writing they were on a business trip along the Nile River in Egypt, having left their child in the care of a maid and a New York writer who is a friend of Mrs. McDonald, until their return to Alexandria, their headquarters.
    Harold is the resident European agent for a large American machinery house. Mr. and Mrs. Harold McDonald, unless they return to the States for a visit next fall, will probably reside in Egypt next winter instead of at Alexandria, as in past years.
    Rev. John McDonald, in speaking today of Harold's business in Africa, stated that that section of the world has lots of money to spend and a big business in selling American implements, despite the fact that the Russian soviet government manufacturers were shipping much machinery there.

    Arrangements are being completed by Luke Kincaid, operator of the Gold Hill dance pavilion, to open his Eagle Point hall as a private social club, inasmuch as this procedure, he said, has the earmarks of legality. Membership for the Eagle Point club will be sold at the regular Gold Hill dance next Saturday night, and the opening dance will be held the following Saturday.
    "I have an investment of nearly $10,000 dollars in the Eagle Point property, and I have been denied the right of a license by the county court to operate," Mr. Kincaid said when in Medford today, "and if the social club plan is legal, as it is claimed, I can see no reason why I will not have the same privilege. I have been attempting to obtain a license for the hall from the county court for months, to at least operate an old-time dance, but I have been denied the request. Under the social club plan, no license is necessary from the court."
    The Gold Hill Imperial Orchestra is slated to play at Eagle Point and dancing will continue to at least 3:00 o'clock in the morning, he said.
    In the meantime, Mr. Kincaid is awaiting the opinion sought by the district attorney's office, covering early morning dancing as confined to social clubs. It has been claimed that such dances are legal, basing the claim on an opinion said to have been received from the attorney general a short time ago. However, the district attorney's office is giving the matter a thorough examination.

    The city's old pipe line went out last night at the Walsh ranch in Little Butte, according to word received this morning. This will necessitate the closing down of the water until repairs can be made, which will probably take several days. It only affects the old system.

    Royal Brown of Eagle Pt. was a pleasant visitor the middle of the week. He came over to see if he could not get the county to oil the road, as the womenfolks are kicking about the dust in the summer, and have had enough of it. Mr. Brown told how when a boy it was nothing for him to throw the hay off a wagon in 9 or 10 mins., if in no particular hurry.

    "At a short session of the county court this morning, the petition of the West Side Development Association for the establishment of the West. Highway was formally denied, based upon the viewers' report, and sentiment against the project in the district affected.
    County Engineer Paul Rynning stated the report that the county intended to suspend operations on the Little Butte Creek market road this year and devote its funds and energies on the Dead Indian market road was without foundation. The county will carry out its initial plans for the Little Butte Creek market road, as far as finances will permit.
    The county court today formally defined its plans for the continuation of the Little Butte Creek market road and took similar action upon the Pleasant Creek road and the Lovell Gateway road, in the upper Applegate.
    A portion of the old Crater Lake Highway that traversed the Nye ranch was declared vacated. This portion of the road has not been used for years.
    Road oiling operations are now underway in the Applegate, on Wagner Creek, and on Ross Lane.
    Housewives of the Eagle Point area have been assured that a "dust palliative" will be spread on the main road through that town. A delegation of husbands recently besought the county court for oiling.
    A considerable portion of today's business was the signing of the monthly payrolls.
    The county court adjourned at 11 o'clock to attend the funeral services for Philip W. Hamill, well-known valley orchardist.

    Grasshoppers flying, flying. The sun obscured by their wings for several days. All crops eaten up. Those were hard times when Delroy Getchell, president of the Farmers' and Fruitgrowers' Bank, was a little boy back in Minnesota.
    "The state of Minnesota repudiated; couldn't pay its obligations. Times aren't hard now!" Mr. Getchell exclaimed, when interviewed yesterday. "There's plenty of money in the banks, plenty in reserve. The only trouble is, people are waiting for a lower level to start building, spending it.
    "If people would spend money on things they need, things that should be done, the so-called depression would he broken in 30 days. Times aren't hard now. People just think they are.
    "Why, when I was a little boy, they killed the grasshoppers. New crops grew and the state of Minnesota carried on. Then came a cyclone--a real one, too. It killed 68 people, injured many and swept the Mississippi River dry between St. Cloud and Salt Rapids. Times were really hard then."
    They were also hard when Mrs L. O. Caster's father, T. B. Ellison, came here from Missouri with 25 cents in his pocket and five children to feed. "But he didn't complain about it," Mrs. Caster, in from Eagle Point to shop, told friends yesterday. "He had traded for a place near the 401 Ranch. What we didn't have we went without. Put up our own meat, raised cane, made sorghum, butter and bread. We didn't have any spending money and didn't go any place to spend it."
    "Those were the days when women wore red flannels and black corsets," C. I. Hutchison, local merchant, contributed. "They didn't spend 25 cents then where they spend dollars today. Had they gone in for any luxuries their troubles would have been mountains, where we have molehills. It is all a state of mind."
