    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. Wilfred 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.

    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.

    The road from this city to the bridge across the Rogue at Trail is in pretty fair shape. Several of the rough spots have been smoothed out, and as long as the roads are dry traffic need not hesitate to use this route. The upper end of the road between the site of the Dodge bridge and the Trail bridge on the west side of the river is in better repair than it has ever been and forms a very picturesque drive. It is only too bad that this route cannot receive the attention of the county court that it might be graveled and placed in first-class shape. It would form an ideal evening drive for people from any portion of the valley.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    A delegation of women from Eagle Point, of which Mrs. S. K. Barnes was spokesman, beseeched the county court this morning to oil four-tenths of a mile of the Lake Creek road in addition to the present oiling operations now under way. A petition signed by five families that would be benefited was also presented. The petitioners set forth that, through a misunderstanding, they thought they were included in the improvement. County Engineer Paul Rynning estimated the cost of the new oiling at $50. The county court took the matter under advisement.
    Mrs. Barnes, who proved to be considerable of a "diplomatess," informed the court that if they would park "for an hour along the road they would be convinced it needed oiling." She claimed that when trucks and autos rolled by a dust storm worthy of the Sahara ensued.
    "I would not be so bold," said Mrs. Barnett in departing, "as to offer the members of the county court fried chicken and homemade strawberry shortcake, but if they come out they might run into a country meal."
    Even this veiled promise of an epicurean treat failed to bring the court to a definite decision. Oiling in the Eagle Point district, including the oiling of the main street at the expense of the business men, is under way.

    The funds of the irrigation district are separate and apart from Jackson County funds, and there is no irrigation district money in the general county fund or any other county fund.
    The irrigation laws of Oregon, which are numerous and conflicting due to tinkering by each legislative session, provide that the county clerk be ex-officio clerk of irrigation, and that the county treasurer be ex-officio treasurer. This is the condition in this county.
    The law also provides that the clerk ex-officio make out the irrigation district warrants upon the orders of the board of directors of the irrigation district. If the treasurer ex-officio has irrigation district funds on hand sufficient to pay, he does so, and if not, he marks them "not paid because of lack of funds." When funds are available the warrants are paid in the order of their issuance. This is the procedure.
    For instance, this morning the county treasurer marked paid a $2050 warrant on the Talent Irrigation District, issued last December 30, when it was issued as a protested irrigation warrant.
    The same procedure has been followed with the Eagle Point district since its organization. This district started with a $25,000 indebtedness and has always been under a warrant indebtedness handicap.
    County officials and irrigation district officials set forth that there was considerable misunderstanding anent irrigation district funds and management, due to the multiplicity of laws which made their interpretation confusing alike to the lawyer and the layman, but in any discussion there were the following points to be borne in mind:
    That the funds of Jackson County, or its general funds, are separate and apart from any irrigation district funds, and are never mixed.
    That the county court has nothing whatsoever to do, in any way whatsoever, with the operation or finances of any irrigation district.
    That the county clerk and the county treasurer are directed by law to act in their respective duties for the irrigation district, to save the irrigation districts the expense of the two positions, and that they act under direct orders from the irrigation district board of directors.
    That a depletion of any irrigation district funds is not due to any act of the county, but more likely to failure of irrigation district water users to pay assessments, and that the funds of the county are not available for irrigation district use, or vice versa, and that the county treasurer is only custodian of the irrigation district funds.

    The program presented to the Grangers at the last session was particularly interesting and instructive, during which O. S. Blanchard of Grants Pass, who has spent many months touring in the Orient, gave an illustrated lecture on Japan. The pictures were beautiful, giving the audience a glimpse of the wonderful works of art, landscapes, and architecture, as well as of the religious, social, industrial and domestic life of the Japanese people. The lecture given by Mr. Blanchard in connection with the pictures gave us an instructive entertainment which will long be remembered by those who were fortunate enough to be present. A hearty vote of thanks was given him.
    J. B. Coleman, county assessor, also gave a very interesting and instructive talk, illustrated by graphs, although on a very different subject.
    Mr. Coleman pointed out very clearly, with the help of his graphs, just why we are so overburdened with taxes as to amount to real confiscation of property. He said no power on earth could reduce taxes as long as the people would go to the polls and vote bond issues on themselves, which are collected through taxation, and which constitutes the very large part of our taxes.
    He voiced the unique expression that fraternalism and government would prove our ruin.
    At the previous meeting of the Grange, which the writer was unable to attend, the audience was delighted by a musical program of several numbers presented by Mr. Botts and his orchestra of Medford. The numbers were very fine and beautifully rendered.
    The next regular meeting will be June 2.

    Thirteen is not an unlucky number for the Liberty school, located 14 miles from Medford. In fact, it is the opposite, for the pupils of the district, who number just that many, achieved a 100 percent record for the health honor roll during the past year, it was announced yesterday following close of the term.
    Mrs. Vida Steele, teacher of the school, was in Medford yesterday reviewing the pupils' records with county health officer Dr. B. C. Wilson. Smallpox vaccinations were given to all pupils, all were immunized for diphtheria and fulfilled the requirements in dental work and correction of other defects.
    A similar health campaign is now being started among the preschool children of the district.
    Of the 13 who established such an unusual record for a rural school, but two are girls. The school roll reads: Richard von der Hellen, Clifford Hall, Louis Walsh and Edwin Owens, eighth grade; Cecil Hall, Helen Kent, Robert von der Hellen and Edward Oswald, seventh grade; Ray Spencer, sixth grade; Benton Walch and Leland Hill, third grade; and Thelma Stokes and Robert Walch, first grade.
    Much credit is due the parents of the children for the record achieved, Mrs. Steele said yesterday. They have cooperated with the school nurse, Mrs. Augusta Glover, to the best of their ability. The fact that there are no transients in the community has also made it much easier for the school to gain a 100 percent standing.

    Formation of the road district for the construction of a road from Trail, on the Crater Lake Highway to Tiller, in Douglas County, will be started as soon as the county court and county officials are straightened out on the changes in the special road district laws of the state, revamped by the last session of the of the legislature. Petitions of the residents of the district have been on file with the county clerk for several weeks.
    The new law provides that the district shall be formed, ere a survey is made, a complete reversal of the old statute. It also provides that the cost be estimated in levy mills, instead of dollars. The cost of the road has been fixed at approximately $60,000.
    Under the old law the special road district election was set for November 3 of each year. Under the changes, the election can be held 30 days after the formation of the district and the completion of the survey.
    The road, as proposed, would be about 12 miles long, connecting with federal and Douglas County work now underway. When completed the route would shorten the distance between Portland and Crater Lake by about 25 miles.
    It is expected that residents of the area affected will take steps soon for the formation of the special road district and that the legal formalities and survey will be completed so a vote can be held in the early fall.

    Many changes were noted by Mr. Shaw since his last visit there, over 25 years ago. However, he took dinner in the house, 19 miles southwest of Yreka, in which he lived until 11 years of age.

     EAGLE POINT, Ore., July 3.--(Special)--Shelves in the storeroom of the Ladino Products Company are filled with cheese in the process of aging. Over 8000 pounds are held in this manner for several weeks before it is placed upon the market.
    During June over 14,000 pounds were manufactured in the Monterey, American and Sage varieties. Of this amount over 9000 pounds will find a ready market in the valley. The remainder will be shipped to outside points, about 1500 pounds going to Klamath Falls.
    Over 135,000 pounds of milk were utilized in the manufacture of the June output of cheese. The large part of it was produced on Eagle Point meadows. Lake Creek furnished some and Central Point dairies brought in the balance.
    "The quality of the milk coming in at this time is the best," said Mr. Woodrich, manager of Ladino Products Company, "and the quality of the cheese is accordingly better. We have now passed the experimental stage and are in a position to hold a quantity of cheese in our storerooms until it has ripened.
    "We are indebted to the farmers and grocerymen of the valley for the loyal support accorded us during the past months. We look to a steady rise in the price of butterfat and a corresponding rise in the price of cheese. The eastern prices are showing signs of improvement, and it may not be long before cheese from Oregon factories will find a market in the East."
    Improvements are gradually being made in equipment of the cheese factory. A separator has recently been installed to separate butterfat from the whey, which has been lost previously through lack of saving devices. A curd slicer is another addition to the equipment.

    Nine members of the Jesse Ragsdale family lie critically ill at their home in the Trail district today suffering with ptomaine poisoning, resulting from home-canned beets eaten Saturday at a Fourth of July picnic held on the Tiller cutoff, Dr. R. W. Stearns, attending physician, who was summoned Sunday morning, announced this afternoon.
    Mrs. Ragsdale and sons Frank and Bert were in a more serious condition this afternoon, and no members of the family had shown definite signs of improvement. All are running high temperatures of 104 and 105 and are afflicted with frequent paroxysms of the stomach. The nine members of the family reported ill are Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Ragsdale and sons Frank, Bert, Will, Ben and Glen; daughter Mabel and a little grandson, Arnold Ragsdale. Three members of the family who attended the picnic, but did not eat the beets, are not suffering from the malady.
    Returning from the picnic Saturday night, the nine became seriously ill about 2 o'clock Sunday morning. Dr. Stearns was summoned at 8 o'clock and arrived at the scene to find the group apparently ill with spinal meningitis. A diagnosis showed that all had been poisoned and a thorough investigation laid the blame to the beets, which were canned two years ago.
    The beets, when opened, showed no signs of being spoiled, Mrs. Ragsdale stated. No peculiarities were noticed in their taste, but each member of the family who ate them became ill at an early hour Sunday morning.
    All picnickers and vacationists were urged this afternoon by Dr. Stearns to use great precaution in opening fruits and vegetables. He was awaiting another message from the Ragsdale home when the Mail Tribune went to press.

    Three members of the Jesse Ragsdale family, stricken with ptomaine poisoning early Sunday morning, are still in a critical condition, while slight improvement is reported for the other six patients, Dr. R. W. Stearns, attending physician, announced today.
    Mrs. Ragsdale and son Glen, 14, and grandson Arnold, 7, had shown very slight indications of rallying at noon. They are not, however, suffering from such violent paroxysms of the stomach as experienced Sunday and Monday, and some hope of their recovery is maintained.
    Eight members of the family of nine, who became seriously ill Sunday morning after eating canned beets at a picnic dinner served on the Tiller-Trail cutoff on the Fourth of July, are still receiving treatment at the Ragsdale home near Trail. Bud Ragsdale, the blind son, has been removed to the home of friends in Eagle Point.
    Other members of the afflicted group are Mr. Ragsdale and sons Frank, Wilmer and Ben, and daughter Mabel, who are believed to be in an improved condition today.
    Although the picnic dinner was served early in the afternoon Saturday, none of the Ragsdales became ill until approximately 2 o'clock Sunday morning.
    An extensive examination was made by Dr. Stearns before the cause of the illness could be determined. The beets, when opened, showed no signs of being spoiled and were pleasant to the taste. Three persons attending the picnic, who did not eat of them, however, were the only ones spared the almost paralyzing illness which attacked the group Sunday morning.

   The nine members of the Jesse Ragsdale family, stricken with poisoning Sunday morning, after eating canned beets at a Fourth of July picnic, are in an improved condition today, according to Dr. R. W. Stearns, who visited the family at Trail last night.
    It is believed that all will recover, in spite of the high fevers and violent paroxysms of the stomach experienced Sunday and Monday.
    The germ which caused the poisoning was isolated in tests made by the county health department, completed today. It is known as bacillus enteritidis.
Medford Mail Tribune, July 8, 1931, page 5  Enteritidis is salmonella--so maybe it wasn't the beets after all.

    Stewart Rice, 10, son of Mr. and Mrs. Vane Rice of Alamo, Tex., lies in the Community Hospital this afternoon in a serious condition as the result of injuries sustained this morning when a .32 automatic in the hands of Delbert Tingleaf of Eagle Point was discharged, sending a bullet through the Rice boy's body, perforating his stomach in two places and continuing out through his back between the eighth and ninth ribs.
    The two boys were playing on Little Butte Creek near the A. J. Tingleaf ranch, where the Rice family is visiting, when the accident occurred about 10 o'clock this morning, according to reports from Eagle Point.

    The flume of the Eagle Point Irrigation District broke Sunday afternoon at a point three miles below Butte Falls. Waters rushed down the side of a red clay mountain, turned Rogue River chocolate-colored and ruined the first of the week fishing. The flume broke at approximately the same point last spring, with the same results. The break is now repaired.
    Water Master Fred N. Cummings said that the loss of water would not be felt, as the Eagle Point district derives its supply from Big Butte Creek and is the only irrigation district in Southern Oregon with anywhere near a supply of water. The Eagle Point district will not have its full quota, but will have "plenty," the water master said.
    Measurement of Rogue River today showed the stream to be 40 second-feet below its previous low mark.
    According to Olen Arnspiger, manager of the Talent Irrigation District, the water supply for this year has been exhausted, and the reservoirs drained. The same condition exists in the Medford Irrigation District, and the Hopkins lateral district.
    Arnspiger says that several of the larger orchards are digging wells to secure water for the irrigation of the late pears, and that the Bear Creek orchard, Rosenberg Bros., have the largest number of wells under construction.
    "The Bartlett crop is made, and there will be sufficient moisture for most of the D'Anjous to get by. I wouldn't make any predictions beyond that," Arnspiger said. He said he would issue a detailed statement in a few days.
    The only hope--and a slim one--for rain is from local thunder showers, which local weather records show occur the last week of July and the first days of August.

     Stuart Robert Rice, 14, son of Mr. and Mrs. Vane S. Rice of Alamo, Tex., died at the Community Hospital last evening from chest complications arising from injuries sustained when a bullet accidentally discharged from a .32 automatic in the hands of Delbert Tingleaf of Eagle Point entered his body, puncturing his left lung and perforating his stomach and spleen.

    The second new fire of the week in the Crater National Forest, this time breaking out in a new territory along the west branch of the upper Rogue River about four miles above the state fish hatchery in the Elk Creek section, was discovered about 5:45 p.m. yesterday, and 40 men labored last night and this forenoon to check it, and a few more men were sent this forenoon. The fire is in fair timber.
    Little was known at the forestry office here this noon about the condition of this fire, its extent, origin, etc., except that it was supposed near control, and that it was expected to work a night crew of fire fighters on it tonight.
    The Grouse Creek fire, which broke out early in the week in the Applegate district and on which at its height 115 fire fighters worked, was in such a good condition late yesterday afternoon that all but six of the mopping crew of 31 at the fire were at once switched to the Elk Creek section fire when it was reported late in the afternoon, being conveyed to the new fire by forest trucks.
    So much sought after by unemployed local men is the job of fire fighting fires that the Crater National Forest headquarters in the federal building was so deluged by anxious applicants for such work this forenoon that but little other office work could be done until those men were informed that no more fire fighters were needed at present.
    Then, as protection against further interference from the same cause, a sign was posted outside the first floor elevator entrance, reading: "No more fire fighters wanted."

     Work on the Crater Lake Highway, underway since early summer between Eagle Point and Trail, will be completed by Thursday of this week. It was a state job, and consisted of straightening and widening the highway. The county rented the contractor machinery, in order that the work could be finished.
    The work eliminated the curves on the hill at Butte Falls junction and straightened the road from Reese Creek to Trail.
     Completion practically ends road work in Jackson County this season with the exception of smoothing out a number of roads on the floor of the valley, after the fruit travel is over and a rain comes.
   To keep within the budget, the county court suspended operations on the Lake Creek and Dead Indian market roads. This for years has furnished road work to residents of the two districts.
    It is expected that road work will be resumed in the winter, when the emergency work relief plan, now being formulated by Governor Meier, will be underway. It is expected work in Jackson County will be concentrated on the straightening of the Pacific Highway between Medford and Central Point and straightening and widening of the Green Springs Mountain unit of the Klamath-Ashland highway.
    It has also been suggested that during the winter work be started on the proposed Tiller-Trail cutoff. This, however, has to come before the voters of the district for a special levy, and it is doubtful if the red tape involved could be unraveled before next spring, even if the special levy carried.

     EAGLE POINT, Ore., Aug. 27--Vandals have been at work in this community during the past few weeks and as a result an automobile belonging to Rudy Weidman is practically ruined.

    Mr. Weidman has no definite clues as to the perpetrators, but the complete ruin of both radiators plainly shows a vindictive spirit rather the work of children or a practical joker.

Pantomime by several of the men of the Grange, each engaged in doing some household duty, washing clothes, washing dishes, churning, ironing, sweeping, mixing bread, etc., keeping time to piano music by Mrs. Mittelstaedt. The men apparently were quite proficient in their various roles and if they perform these same tasks just as smilingly, ably and willingly in the privacy of their home as they did before the public, when occasion demands, then their wives are certainly to be envied.
    Mrs. Jessie Mittelstaedt and Mrs. Lottie Van Scoy gave a very beautiful vocal duet, with Mrs. Mittelstaedt at the piano. Bill Hartman favored with two vocal solos, accompanied by Mrs. Grace Cowden on the piano, and violin obbligato by G. E. Cowden.

    Baseball fans of Southern Oregon will have an opportunity next Sunday afternoon and Labor Day to see the Pacific Outfitters in action against the Eagle Point Cheesemakers, champions of the Rogue River Valley, in a three-game series. The winner will be the so-called champion of Western Oregon and have the right to attend the state elimination tournament to be held at Portland, sometime the last of this month.
    The Eagle Point team, according to all reports, will encounter some opposition in the Pacific Outfitters. The last two or three games they have bowled over the foe with no trouble at all. Fans--including Eagle Point--want to see them in action against a team that can put up a struggle. If half the advance dope is true, the Pacific Outfitters will be able to make a battle out of each and every game.
    Al Cook will hurl for Eagle Point in one of the games, and Cliff Best, the veteran southpaw, will occupy the center of the stage in the other contest. If necessary, one or the other will be available for the third game.
    Eagle Point will be able to present a formidable front, with Hoffard, Logan, Droulette and Valencia coming to bat in a row, and with Maas, no slouch of a hitter.
    One game will be played Sunday and two games, if necessary, on Monday, Labor Day. The games promise to be the best of the season.
Medford Mail Tribune, September 4, 1931, page 12


    Answer to action recently taken by the Bellview Grange recommending the union of certain county offices and elimination of the health department came from the Eagle Point Grange today in the form of a resolution opposing such a recommendation.
    The resolution states that the action of the Bellview Grange must have been taken without thorough consideration and does not seem justified. Retention of the health department is asked by the Eagle Point Grange and combination of the watermaster's office with that of the county engineer opposed.
    The resolutions read:
    "Whereas the Bellview Grange has filed with us a copy of a resolution which among other things would dispense with the health work in the county, and would unite the office of county engineer with that of watermaster.
    "And Whereas it would seem that the action of the Bellview Grange must have been taken without thorough consideration, and does not at all seem to be justified.
    "Be it Resolved, that we favor the retaining of the health work and oppose the combining of the watermaster's office with that of the county engineer.
    "And Furthermore Resolved that a copy of this resolution be mailed to the secretary of Bellview Grange, and other copies be supplied to the Daily News and the Mail Tribune through the publicity agent of the grange, and also to the county court whose tireless efforts to produce the best with the means in their power, we heartily commend.
    "Secretary, Edith Weidman."
    "Master, Wm. Perry."
Medford Mail Tribune, September 4, 1931, page 14


    Eagle Point and Medford fans were surprised Friday at reports that Al Cook, workhorse pitcher of the Cheesemakers, was not liable to see any duty in the forthcoming games with the Pacific Outfitters of Portland. The northern team is scheduled to play a game here Sunday, and two games Monday, if necessary to decide the championship of Southern Oregon.
    There seems to be some sort of a dispute between Cook and the management. It was reported in this city that a petition was being circulated in Eagle Point that Cook be reinstated and take his turn in the box.
    Cook has been the mainstay of the Eagle Point team all season and has been a consistent performer with any kind of support. With Cook out for the opening game, the Cheesemakers' chances are slim. It is practically a cinch that neither Conlin nor Valencia, who hurled last Sunday, could get far against real hitters. Cliff Best, the veteran southpaw, has a sore arm, and is not able to pitch a full game. He would go good as a relief pitcher, and if Cook wobbles could come to his rescue.
    It was understood that the Eagle Point management was endeavoring to secure Sparks, former Talent pitcher, for the games.
    Outside the pitcher's box, the Eagle Point squad is strong in hitting and fielding.

     EAGLE POINT, Ore., Sept. 9.--(Spl.)--Interest aroused throughout the valley by the Mail Tribune's suggestion for a more extensive serving of pear pies has brought to light a recipe for pear pie that is probably the oldest in use of all.

    The recipe is as follows:
    Line pie pan with pastry and fill with sliced pears; mix 1 tablespoon flour with ¾ cup of sugar and add to pears; add ¾ cup of cream and cinnamon to taste. Bake in moderate oven.

     The Eagle Point Cheesemakers, semi-pro champions of Southern Oregon , Western Oregon, and the state at large, are looking for new teams to conquer, and if their present plans materialize they will be playing baseball until the snow flies. Following their two victories over the Portland Outfitters, Sunday and Monday, a move was started to play a team composed of the Portland All-Stars here next Sunday, and to follow it with a game with the Kelso, Wash., team of the Timber League.
    The Eagle Point aggregation, composed of veteran players, has demonstrated superiority over all comers, and despite the depression and lack of interest in baseball have kept right on playing.
    The Cheesemakers are not a flashy fielding team, but are holy terrors at the bat and have won most of their games this season by heavy bombardment of pitchers.
Medford Mail Tribune, September 9, 1931, page 10

    During the course of a hearing this morning for the petitioned appointment of a guardian for Dorothy Lamb, 15, of the Eagle Point district, County Judge Alex Sparrow calmed a storm between attorneys George M. Roberts and Gus Newbury, by vigorously pounding his table and declaring:
    "You fellows stop your howling or I'll conduct this case without lawyers."
    The warning came as a climax of heated questioning between Attorney Newbury and W. R. Lamb, father of the girl, when attorney Roberts arose to assert, "I won't see anybody abused," and the court admonished, "You sit down, too!"
    The case arose when the girl left home Saturday, following a disagreement with her father, and the Jackson County Humane Society was later requested to intercede.
    The testimony of the father and brothers and friends of the family showed that the girl was stubborn, and "wanted more liberty than her father thought was best." It was brought out that she was "sassy to her parents." The father testified that he had advised the daughter and had corrected her.
    Witnesses testified that Dorothy had a "good home," and "went to dances and literary society." The father testified he wanted her to "have a beau."
    During the course of the hearing, bitter accusations were hurled between kin.
    Dorothy testified that the main cause of the trouble was her stepmother and expressed a desire to live with an older sister. She asserted that she would not be contented in the home of her father.   
    The court took the matter under advisement.

    Many people dream dreams that never become realizations, especially in the field of writing, but Mrs. Nelle von der Hellen of Eagle Point is an exception to the rule. She believes her dreams are coming true since receipt of a letter yesterday which announces that the Ladies' Home Journal is going to buy one of her articles.
    The letter is from Graeme Lorimer, associate editor of the well-known magazine. It carries a very personal interest and expression of appreciation of Mrs. von der Hellen's work.
    "I'm happy to be able to write you that we like your article, 'Judy O'Grady of the Far West' very much indeed," the letter reads, "and with a little revision we will buy it for the Ladies' Home Journal."
    Mrs. von der Hellen is to receive $100 for the article, and the associate editor requests additional information concerning the local writer's life.
    "You have a mighty nice touch, and I think that you might very possibly write a whole book about your life," the letter concludes. "Houghton Mifflin have published two books by Anne Ellis, who like yourself had no particular literary training, but she did have a full and interesting life and was able to write about it. I would suggest that you send a copy of your article to Mr. Ira Rich Kent of Houghton Mifflin, saying that the Journal is buying it and that we suggested that you write them, because we thought they might see the possibility of your doing a book on your life for them."
    Mrs. von der Hellen lives on a ranch near Eagle Point and has hosts of friends in Medford who have anticipated success for her since her first writing came to their attention. Many of her stories for children have been published in the Mail Tribune and her radio plays are frequently heard in broadcasts from station KMED.
    Her little stories and plays have always expressed an understanding and sympathy which much modern fiction lacks. She has continued to write them, striving always for something better in spite of the farm duties which have always crowded her writing time.
    One of her favorite children's stories she wrote for the entertainment of her two young sons and little daughter, who with her husband, Carl von der Hellen, rejoice with her today over the letter, which "brought such very good news."

    Local fans who saw the game said decisions of an umpire at critical stages also crimped their style.

Beck struck out nine men.
    Gipe pitched for Eagle Point and was touched for 13 hits.

    EAGLE POINT, Ore., Sept. 29.--(Special)--The number of cattle arriving from neighboring sections for pasturage on the clover and alfalfa fields here indicates the favorable impression that Eagle Point district has made throughout the valley with its abundant forage crops. Good hay crops have been cut, and the new growth which has sprung up is providing excellent pasturage.
    An increasing number of sheep are being pastured on the fields of the Farm Properties, Inc., which also take care of part of the thoroughbred Jersey stock of Postmaster Warner of Medford. C. C. Hoover arrived September 27 with a number of cattle to be placed on the Jack Groh ranch until the winter bluegrass fields have reached their full carrying capacity.
    Many improvements noted over the district show that this section is prospering. The bungalow across the street from the schoolhouse, being built by Mrs. Blanche Stanley, is rapidly nearing completion. Cliff Hickson and family are occupying their new home on the Lake Creek road, and Mr. and Mrs. John Ragsdale have set the date of their housewarming for October 10.
    Excavation for the Rogue River Valley Herald's new home on the Crater Lake highway has been completed and construction work will soon begin. Two new residences have been built on the opposite side of the highway just back of J. J. Merklee's place. Other homes are under construction further up the Crater Lake Highway.

    EAGLE POINT, Ore., Sept. 29.--(Special)--Voters of school district No. 9 are notified of a meeting called for October 1 at 8 p.m., for the purpose of discussing the budget proposed for the ensuing fiscal year.
    Decided cuts have been made in expenditures of former years and, in addition, cost of insuring the old school building and gymnasium have been included. These buildings have heretofore carried no insurance.
    The expenditures for the year are estimated at $13,998.90, which is $3000 less than that of three years ago. The receipts, which include state and county school funds, elementary school fund and special district tax, are $7,251.81. This makes an amount to be raised of $6,747.09.
    Questions relating to accepting pupils from other school districts will also come up for consideration.

    Initial steps have been taken by the residents of southern Douglas County for the formation of a road district for construction of the Douglas County unit of the Tiller-Trail road. The federal road bureau and Forest Service constructed a portion of the road this summer. Douglas County hopes to have the legal preliminaries completed so that work can be started next spring.
    Jackson County's share in the route is still pending, following the filing of a petition last summer by 23 property owners of the district asking that an election for the voting of a special road levy be called. The Jackson County cost for the road would be between $10,000 and $12,000. The matter of a special levy is scheduled for attention at the annual road levy elections to be held in November.
    The Tiller-Trail road would shorten the distance between the Crater Lake Highway and Portland by approximately 40 miles, and eliminate the crookedest stretch on the Pacific Highway and several mountain climbs.
    The finishing touches on the Crater Lake Highway widening and straightening between the Butte Falls junction hill and Trail are now underway. The stretch was oiled and sanded last week.
Medford Mail Tribune, September 29, 1931, page 10


    County Engineer Paul Rynning today filed a report with the county court estimating the cost of the proposed Tiller-Trail road at $64,600. The heaviest item in the costs is shale surfacing, estimated at $22,500. Other costs are fixed as follows: Common excavating, $15,000; rock work, $13,125; clearing and grubbing, $5000, Small bridges, $1500; culvert pipe, $4000; engineering, $3000.
    A law passed by the last session of the legislature requires that estimates of costs of all road work be filed before the work is voted upon or started.
    The county court will probably issue an order that a special road levy election be held next November. The 23 property owners affected by the special levy have petitioned the county court that a special election for the special levy be called.
    The distance of the road in Jackson County from the Trail junction with the Crater Lake Highway to the summit of the Umpqua mountains is 12.7 miles.
    The federal bureau of public roads and Douglas County have been working all summer on the northern end of the road.

    The Alco baseball club of Albany, who decisively defeated the Eagle Point Cheesemakers at Albany last Sunday, through the effective pitching of Johnny Beck, will play a return game at the fairgrounds next Sunday, when the Southern Oregon champions hope to secure revenge and the long end of the score. It promises to be the best and probably the last game of the season. The Eagle Point team claims they struck a bad spell of umpiring and a batting slump at Albany and did not hit up to their usual standard.

    Eagle Point defeated the Alcos of Albany 2 to 1, at the fairgrounds Sunday afternoon, by the brilliant pitching of Al Cook, who struck out 13 men and allowed five hits--two of them due to being lost in the sun. He walked four men, and until the eighth inning hurled airtight ball, backed by fast fielding of his mates. He showed more speed and control than in any game this season.
    Cook blanked the Alcos for eight innings. Johnny Logan lost a ball in the sun and it went for a two-bagger. Another easy out dropped safe for the same reason and Albany scored its only run. Cook struck out the last man in the final inning with the tying run on third.
    Young Ogle of Grants Pass started the scoring for the locals when he connected with one of pitcher Beck's slow balls for a homer. His next time up Beck bore down, with runs on third, and the best the young man could do was to shoot a fast one at short and was out at first by a whisker.
    Cook hurled good ball throughout the game and kept the hits scattered. The Cheesemakers hit Beck hard and often, but fast fielding saved him.
    Chaney, shortstop for Eagle Point, was the fielding sensation, and Markel provided the thrill when, with a double play in sight, he dropped an easy pop. He recovered and got his man at second.
    The game was the best played in this section since Lewis Ulrich played first base for Jacksonville.

    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."

    The body of an unidentified man, about 50 years of age, was found shortly after noon today on a trail in the Umpqua Divide country, 14 miles from Trail, by Joseph Roe. Word of the gruesome find was telephoned to the sheriff's office from a forest ranger station. Sheriff Ralph Jennings and Deputy Coroner Walker left this afternoon for the scene.
     Roe, while walking down the trail, made the discovery and hurried to the nearest telephone. He made no investigation as to cause of death.
     There is no record of any missing persons in this section.
Medford Mail Tribune, October 16, 1931, page 1


    The body of Loris Martin, 63, a mountaineer, well known throughout Jackson County, was found yesterday afternoon by Joe Roe, on a lonely trail in the Umpqua Divide country, 14 miles from Trail.
    Positive identification was delayed until arrival of Sheriff Ralph Jennings and Deputy Coroner Walker, near dusk yesterday. The Mail Tribune yesterday published the news of the finding of the unidentified body at press time.
    Death, probably instantaneous, was caused by a rifle bullet, fired by unknown hands, which entered Martin's body just below the heart and passed out the right side. He was found lying face down and had evidently crawled for a short distance on his hands and knees before expiring.
    The tragedy occurred within a mile of the spot where, 16 years ago, Game Warden Arthur Hubbard of Ashland was shot and killed, following a dispute over game law infractions. In one of the most sensational trials in the history of Jackson County, Martin was acquitted on a plea of self-defense.
    The authorities hold strongly to the theory that Martin was accidentally slain for a deer by an unknown hunter, though the trail was open and a person was visible for a distance of 200 yards. Sheriff Jennings, Deputy Coroner Joy Walker, Assistant District Attorney George Neilson and Harry Skyrman, attorney and nephew of Martin, left this morning to search for clues by daylight, and to unravel evidence that might indicate foul play.
    Martin's rifle, without which he never ventured into the hills, and his hat are missing. Sheriff Jennings thinks that a woodchuck carried off his headgear but is unable to explain the absence of the weapon, except that the slayer--accidentally or purposely--removed it to destroy evidence.
    Martin lived in a cabin six miles up Trail Creek, and from telephonic information was planning on setting out a trap line. An aged man and neighbor of Martin's had a long conversation with him Monday or Tuesday, he does not remember which. He visited Martin's cabin yesterday and found a pot of cold beans on the stove and a pail of water with a slight scum. It is thought Martin had been absent from home two or three days. Condition of the body indicated that he had been dead from 36 to 60 hours.
    Marting was an experienced woodsman and knew every foot of the rough section in which he was killed. He was a trapper in winter and in the summer toiled as a farmhand, miner or laborer. He was an expert powder man. He was a bachelor and led a lonely life. He was a friend of Ed Foster, prospector, mysteriously killed while hunting near Jacksonville six weeks ago. The two worked in the Pennsylvania mine in the Blue Ledge district two years ago.
    Martin had no known enemies. He was of a quiet disposition, a crack shot, with a rugged sense of honesty.  He was widely known throughout the northeast section of the county, where he had lived practically all his life. Martin's last visit to this city was about a month ago. He was employed on a surveying crew near Prospect the past summer.
    Roe found the body of Martin while walking down the trail shortly before noon yesterday. Horror-stricken, he rushed to a Forest Service station and phoned to the coroner's office. A guard was established awaiting the arrival of the officials. They came at dusk, and only a cursory examination of the ground by searchlight was possible.
    The body of Martin was brought to this city, and an inquest will be held as soon as the preliminary investigation is completed.
    A number of friends of Martin will assist the sheriff in the examination of the tragedy scene today.

    A combined housewarming and shower was given Oct. 10 in honor of Mr. and Mrs. John Ragsdale, who have just completed their new home on the Crater Lake Highway. Mr. and Mrs. Ragsdale were the recipients of many lovely gifts, among which was a complete set of shades for the new home presented by the First State Bank of Eagle Point; Lawrence Winslow, manager of Faber and Co. store; Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Clements, Mr. and Mrs. Percy Haley, Mr. and Mrs. Theron Taylor, Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Wyant of Lake Creek and Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Wright of Brownsboro.

    Loris Martin, pioneer mountaineer of Jackson County, was accidentally slain for a deer, some time last Thursday or late Wednesday, as he tended his traps, and with a bullet through his left side near the heart staggered, stumbled, and crawled to the trail where his body was found Friday noon by Joe Roe. This is the official opinion expressed after an investigation of the scene of the tragedy yesterday by Sheriff Ralph Jennings, Deputy Coroner George Neilson and Attorney Harry Skyrman, a nephew of the accident victim.
    Martin's gun, hat and knapsack were found in the brush 75 feet from the trail.
    Following a thorough survey of the ground, Sheriff Jennings believes that Martin [was] busy baiting his wolf traps when the unknown hunter appeared on the other side of the brushy, leafy gully and fired at the noise and movements in the light growth, a distance of about 100 yards. When the hunter discovered his tragic error, he fled.
    An autopsy will be held to determine the cause of Martin's death. If the bullet pierced the heart, it will tend to show that the unknown hunter carried Martin to the trail, where discovery would be easier.
    Martin was a man of magnificent physical development, who had lived all his life in the open and would have been possessed of the strength to reach the trail though fatally wounded. His gun was found against a tree, bloodstained, indicating that he had packed it a short distance after being wounded.
    The sheriff said there was no evidence of tracks in the heavy brush, or any signs that two persons had been near the death scene. It is thought possible that a cry by Martin could have apprised the hunter of his mistake.
    The country adjacent to the trail is rough and rugged and at this season full of deer hunters. It is also one of their favorite hunting spots. An effort will be made to check on hunters in the region the past week.
    Martin was familiar with the region and had hunted over it since a boy and guided many hunting parties through it.
    The fatality is second this season in this country attributed to careless deer hunters. Ed Foster of Jacksonville, prospector, was killed six weeks ago in the same manner while on a trip into the timber.
    Martin was well known in the northwestern part of the county where he lived all his life and at various times had engaged in mining, trapping and ranching. He had many friends in the Trail and Prospect districts. His outstanding characteristic was his rugged honesty and love of the outdoors. He knew the mountains of Jackson County thoroughly.
    Funeral services will be held from the church at Trail, Monday, October 19, at 10:30 a.m. Reverend Stille of Trail will have charge of services and burial will be made in the Trail cemetery, Conger funeral parlors in charge.
Medford Mail Tribune, October 18, 1931, page 1


    Funeral services were held this morning at Trail for Loris Martin, pioneer and mountaineer, slain last week, the authorities believe, by an unknown hunter in mistake for a deer. Interment was in Trail cemetery.
    Martin's death--the second of this hunting season--will probably be listed as an unsolved mystery of the hills. It occurred last Wednesday of Thursday, and the body was found Friday noon on the Umpqua Divide Trail, 14 miles from Trail, by Joe Roe.
    The district attorney's office is still working on details of the tragedy, but hope for no exact solution, unless the deer hunter, haunted by his conscience, voluntarily makes a clean breast of the sad affair.
    The scene, after an investigation last Saturday, has been reconstructed by the sheriff as follows:
     That Martin, a trapper, was working with his traps on a bushy side of a gully when a hunter appeared on the opposite side and seeing a movement in the brush fired. The shot struck Martin in the left side near the heart. The authorities think a cry of pain apprised the hunter of his ghastly error, and he fled. Martin, with true woodman's instinct, though mortally wounded, staggered to the trail, realizing that his chances for aid and discovery would be best there. Sheriff Jennings says that only a man in perfect physical condition could have traveled the 75 feet to the trail.
    Assistant District Attorney Neilson said that Martin wore a gray shirt and hat and that the hunter might have caught a glimpse of this apparel and mistaken them for a deer.
    Martin's gun, unfired, a hatchet and knapsack were found Saturday 75 feet from where the body was found.
    A checkup by the authorities shows that last week there were dozens of hunters in the area where the fatality occurred.
    Ed Foster, a prospector of Jacksonville, was slain under similar circumstances in the timber near Ruch, shortly before the deer season opened.

    Further investigation by the sheriff and district attorney's office has failed to bring to light any new evidence upon the mystery death of Loris Martin, in the Umpqua divide country, 14 miles from Trail, last week.
    "All the evidence points conclusively," said Sheriff Jennings, "that Martin was slain accidentally for a deer by an unknown hunter as he worked at this traps. No doubt the hunter, whoever he is, became panicky when he realized his mistake and fled, and regrets it now. Our only chance of ever knowing the truth is for the hunter to report the accident."

    Eagle Point Grange had a very pleasant session last Tuesday night, although the attendance was not large.
    The first and second degrees were conferred on a class of eleven by the junior degree team. This team has been somewhat reorganized and several of the members were working in this work for the first time. Still further organization is contemplated, and then the team plans to practice until they become proficient in their work. This team is composed almost entirely of our young folks, and it is surprising how well many of them deliver the beautiful lectures, and who can say how far-reaching is the influence of these beautiful thoughts on those who commit them to memory.
    Short talks were given by Roscoe Roberts, master of the Roxy Ann Grange, Frank Hansen, secretary of the same Grange and William Counter of the Bellview Grange. There were also several other members present from Roxy Ann Grange.
    On account of the degree work there was but a short lecture program, consisting of the following numbers: Song, "America," by the Grange. A monologue, "Gertrude Plays Golf," by Miss Yetta Olson. An original poem composed by John Hankins of the local Grange. "The Red Man's Lament," read by Mrs. Violet Spencer. Vocal solo, "Mother, Oh My Mother," by Miss Yetta Olson.
    During the business session a committee to handle the relief work, cooperating with the county unit in the statewide program, was appointed, the members being A. C. Mittelstaedt, chairman; Ted Seaman and A. L. Hildreth of Butte Falls.
    The third and fourth degrees will be conferred at the next regular meeting, November 3, by the senior degree team.
    November 17 will be officers' night when the officers have charge of the lecture program and will also serve refreshments.
    December 1 brings the annual election of officers, and so the year comes quickly to a close.
    At the close of the Grange a pleasant informal social hour was enjoyed, during which delicious apple pie, Eagle Point cheese and coffee were served by the committee in charge.

    Charged with grand larceny and alleged to have taken between $1200 and $1500 from their benefactor, Joe Dennis, 69, and his wife, Mary, are held in the county jail upon a warrant signed by Frank Wichett, 70, who lived alone on a mountain ranch in the Shady Cove district.
    According to District Attorney George A. Codding, Wichett buried his life savings back of the barn and took Dennis into his confidence, the latter helping him to dig the hiding place. Wichett became sick, according to the state police, and thought he was going to die. It is alleged that during this period, the Dennises took the money hoard. When Wichette recovered he visited the spot and found his treasure missing.
    The authorities state that Wichett, several months ago, became distrustful of banks and kept his money in his house, but feared robbers and changed burial places often, on one occasion taking Dennis along, thus revealing his secret.
    It is also stated that Wichett lived alone on his little acreage and for company, and to look after him, gave the Dennises quarters. The trio lived together for a month or more.
    The Dennises, shocked by the turn of events, deny the charge.
    The state police and sheriff's office served the warrant late yesterday and found no trace of the money.

    The "bear that came over the mountain" sent a discordant note into the perfect song of a group of local hunters a few nights ago, when it discovered and totally devoured one of five prized bucks shot and suspended from a tree limb by the men in the Elk Creek district.
    At least this is the story which accompanied the hunters and the four remaining deer into Medford this morning. H. L. Noblit, Chester Purcell and Alex Middleton, the latter of San Francisco, composed the group who spent the past week near Elk Creek.
    That the woolly mountain climber prowled through the camp at night, made his way along a snow-covered, fallen tree trunk until he came directly under the choice morsel, and then proceeded to enjoy a full meal, was the experience recounted.
    Other local hunters who returned successfully from deer hunts over the weekend were John Orth, J. J. Osenbrugge, who visited the Klamath district, Ned, Culy, who hunted in the Steamboat district, and Ernest Biden, who returned yesterday from Eastern Oregon with a party of friends.

    A Winchester rifle that played the leading role in the death of Game Warden Hubbard of Jackson County, 16 years ago, following an altercation with Loris Martin, recently shot for a deer, ended the life of Alex Matthews, 54-year-old rancher in the Reese Creek district yesterday evening. Matthews was found dead by W. H. Isbell, a neighbor, at eight o'clock, in a field near the Reuben Johnson place, his head blown free from his shoulders.
    The rifle was resting between the spokes of a plow wheel, the trigger pulled back by means of a piece of twine in the dead man's hand, according to J. A. Walker, deputy coroner, and Frank Perl, who viewed the scene.
    The man was believed to have met his death between 4 and 8 p.m. yesterday, he having left the Johnson home, where he resided, to do the evening chores.
    No motive for the death could be established by Mr. Johnson, the man's uncle, or neighbors. Although he suffered from ill health for some time, it apparently caused him little or no despondency, it is said.
    There will be no inquest, according to Mr. Walker, who asserted that the case was obviously one of suicide.
    The body was brought last night to the Perl Funeral Home, where funeral arrangements are being made today. The funeral date will be announced later.
    The deceased leaves two brothers, Charles Matthews and Alvin Conover, and four sisters, Mrs. Rosie Foeller of Trail, Oregon, Mrs. Lottie Spencer, Days Creek, Oregon, Mrs. Blanche Zimmerlee, Trail and Mrs. Estella Geary, Prineville, Oregon. He also leaves two uncles, Reuben and Frank Johnson of the Reese Creek district.
    He was a member of the Ray, North Dakota Lodge, No. 56, I.O.O.F.

    A special election will be held next Monday, November 9, for the voting of a special road levy for the establishment of the Tiller-Trail cutoff road, extending from Trail, at the junction of the Crater Lake Highway, to the Douglas County line, a distance of 12 miles. The construction cost is estimated at approximately $65,000.
    Voting places for the special election have been established at Trail and Prospect, and the county clerk today dispatched 500 ballots for the vote.
    The district embodies the area between a point three miles south of Trail on the Crater Lake Highway, and Prospect, and the meander of Rogue River and the Douglas County line, on the Umpqua divide, eliminating Forest Service reserve and national park land. The eastern boundary of the district takes in the California Oregon power plant at Prospect, the hamlet itself, and the power project itself.
    Many of the workers now employed on the Red Blanket project of the power company are entitled to vote, and for that reason the voting is expected to be exceptionally heavy for a rural section.
    The Tiller-Trail project expense would be shared by the federal government and the state. Douglas County and the two agencies this year, under the direction of the federal bureau of public roads, launched construction. The road, if voted, will be the major road project in the county next year, and will furnish employment to at least 100 men.

     The preliminary hearing of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Dennis, against whom Frank Wicha preferred a charge of grand larceny last week, was on hearing today in Judge Taylor's court, with Assistant District Attorney Neilson representing the state and attorney Frank DeSouza the defense.
    The three are elderly residents and neighbors in the Shady Cove district, and former fast friends. Wicha claims that while he was sick in bed some time ago, $1350 in gold and currency which he had buried on his farm and covered over with a pile of wood was stolen, and that Mr. Dennis was the only person, outside of himself, who knew where the money was concealed.
    Mr. and Mrs. Dennis pleaded not guilty and are making a hard fight to prove their innocence. The case was expected to be finished some time this afternoon.

    The case of grand larceny preferred against Mr. and Mrs. Joe Dennis by Frank Wicha, all of the Shady Cove district, charging that while he was ill in bed they stole $1350 in gold and currency, contained in a bucket he had buried on his farm and covered over with wood, because he was afraid to trust the banks, was dismissed yesterday afternoon in Judge Taylor's court, at the conclusion of the preliminary hearing, because of insufficient evidence.
    It appeared from the testimony that Wicha's suspicions were the only evidence to sustain the larceny charge. Wicha maintained that Dennis was the only person who knew where he had concealed the money. On the other hand, testimony was introduced by the defense that Wicha was prone to forgetfulness and absent mindedness. At no time, it is claimed, was Mrs. Dennis regarded by the authorities as having any hand in the alleged stealing.
    The dismissal of the case in justice court will not prevent the district attorney's office from bringing the matter before a grand jury, if at any time in the future new evidence should turn up which would seem to substantiate Wicha's allegations.

    Voters of the district lying between Trail and Prospect, and the Rogue River and the Jackson-Douglas County line, yesterday by a vote of 184 to 92 rejected a special road levy of three mills to be used with state and federal funds for construction of the Tiller-Trail cutoff road from Trail to the Douglas County line, a distance of 12 miles, at an estimated cost of $65,000.
    The vote, totaling 276, was the heaviest ever cast in the district, and the result was not unexpected. The Trail section, according to reports, voted for the plan, and the Prospect area against it. The boundary of the road district included the new project of the California-Oregon Power Company at Prospect. Copco workers voted yesterday.
    Douglas County and the federal roads bureau worked last summer on the Douglas County end of the road, and have funds for the completion of the work next year.
    The road would have shortened the distance to Portland by 23 miles and would have switched traffic for Crater Lake, from the Pacific Highway near Canyonville, to the Crater Lake Highway at Trail, eliminating valley cities.
Medford Mail Tribune, November 10, 1931, page 1


    As long as everything from heart disease to Eugenie hats are blamed on the depression, the defeat of the Tiller-Trail road tax might as well be included.
    At least it is difficult to conjure up any other explanation. Certainly two years ago the three-mill levy would have gone over with a bang.
    From the standpoint of the property owners in that district, there was everything to say in favor of the tax and nothing against. Construction of such a road would have placed this remote section, practically speaking, on the Pacific Highway, and diverted the heavy summer tourist travel past the doors of the hard-working ranchers in that district, with all its monetary benefits. Moreover, for every dollar the property owners spent on the highway they would have received three dollars, from Jackson County, the state and federal government. A more alluring bargain from the purely selfish standpoint of the Tiller-Trail district could scarcely be imagined.
    Yet the three-mill levy was not only defeated but snowed under two to one.
    The prevailing depression psychosis, stimulated by the statewide campaign against higher taxes, must be responsible. One could readily understand opposition to such an improvement outside of the Tiller-Trail section, particularly along the Pacific Highway from Gold Hill to Canyonville, which would have, figuratively speaking, been placed on a "branch line." Many residents in Medford opposed the project, on the theory this city would be deprived of considerable tourist travel to and from Crater Lake.
    Such a theory we regard as a mistaken one. For this road would have materially reduced the driving time from Medford to Portland and vice versa. It would have opened up a new trading territory, tributary to this community, and as is true of any "shortcut" would have increased the tourist travel in Southern Oregon, from which every section would have benefited.
    Yet such an attitude is UNDERSTANDABLE. But for the people of the Tiller-Trail district to themselves vote down the project ISN'T understandable--at least not understandable except on the theory that this overworked depression complex has so unsettled the normal public mind that even the old law of SELF-INTEREST refuses to function.

Medford Mail Tribune, November 11, 1931, page 7


    It is expected that proponents of the Tiller-Trail cutoff road in the Trail district will seek another special levy by special election, for construction of the road at a cost of $65,000. The bond issue was defeated last Monday, 192 to 87, in one of the heaviest votes ever cast in that section.
    The sentiment in the Trail district is said to be strong for the special road levy, with 23 landowners directly affected signing the original petition for the road at a three-mill levy.
    The new state law for the holding of special levy provides for the fixing of boundaries for the special election. The special road district boundaries are automatically abolished with the election, whichever way the vote is cast.
    If another special vote is called, it is highly probable that the boundaries will be reduced from the last one and the levy raised. The boundaries for Monday's election roughly embraced all the territory between Rogue River and the Jackson-Douglas County lines, and between Trail and Prospect, embracing the Copco plant No. 2 at Prospect and the new project on Red Blanket above Prospect. There was a heavy vote cast in the Prospect section.
     Douglas County, with federal and state funds, last summer worked on the construction of the road to the Douglas County line, a number of districts combining to provide local funds. What effect the Jackson County vote last Monday will have has not been determined.

    The last meeting of the Eagle Point Grange was a very pleasant one, with larger attendance than usual.
    The third and fourth degrees were impressively conferred on a class of eleven by the senior degree team.
    Plans for the annual carnival have been perfected for the evening of Nov. 20th, in the Grange hall. A special feature of the evening will be a minstrel show, for which a small charge will be made.
    Those sponsoring this show declare that it will be worth many times the admission charge; good music and good clean jokes will please all who enjoy a good minstrel performance. A free dance will also be a feature of the evening. In addition, there will be the regular booths for the sale of fancy work, candy, refreshments and a fish pond and country store. Altogether it will be an evening full of fun and interest.
    Dr. Forbes of Jacksonville Grange was a welcome visitor.
    Next meeting will be Nov. 17. This will be officer's night. The officers will have charge of the entertainment for the evening and a good time is expected.
    Election of officers will be held on Tuesday, December 1. A Grange which bears the distinction of being the largest in the state has a responsibility in proportion to its size. Much is expected of a Grange of nearly 300 members, and much should be done. Such a Grange should lead the state in developing fraternal fellowship and fraternal responsibility. Such a Grange should lead in educational work and in benefiting its agricultural members.
    The Grange was organized for the benefit of the agricultural people. Its policies have never changed. We cannot stand still. We either go forward or we go backward; we either assume our responsibilities or we shirk them.
    At no time do the Grange members have a greater responsibility than when electing their officers. The welfare of the organization depends on securing leadership alive to the needs of the members and the purpose of the order. A social program is delightful, and we all enjoy it, but a social program can never take the place of neglected duties. Agriculture needs much consideration at this time, and it is essential that the only fraternal agricultural organization in the world should not fail agriculture in its present crisis.

    He hunted hogs and chopped wood in a wilderness which is now Medford. He drove oxen across the landing field of the present local airport. And he went coon hunting by torchlight through the wild wastes which are now thickly settled. But that was 60 years ago, when George Nichols, well-known Medford pioneer, was only 20 years old. He will be 80 in February.
    Mr. Nichols grew up before what is now Medford even boasted a railroad. So there is little that can be recounted of the town's infancy that he doesn't remember. He came here with his parents from Jefferson, Mo., when he was three years old, some of the harrowing details of the trip still standing out in his mind.
    He remembers, quite distinctly, the warning of the soldiers, sent through their settlement above Eagle Point, prior to the last battle with the Rogue River Indians in the Table Rock district.
    But at the age of three one is apt to be non-partisan and non-racial in sentiments. So little George Nichols took advantage of the general confusion at that time, broke away from his mother and was found later in company with a number of adoring Indian papooses. The tiny redskins took him immediately to their hearts and created him a sort of prince. From then on, he admits, he never could feel any antipathy for the Indians. In fact, he has always regarded their cause with understanding and sympathy.
    It is difficult for a member of the modern generation to picture the existence of those early pioneers, who, in place of pressing a button to turn on the light, poured mutton tallow into a pie tin, into which they inserted a long cotton wick, igniting the latter with the implements at hand.
    The principal living of both whites and Indians in those days consisted of wild game and fish, there being an abundance of both with no game laws in existence. Mr. Nichols recalls watching an Indian pull 400 salmon out of Rogue River and a white hunter returning from the woods with a load of 16 deer, each the result of one day's work.
    The local pioneer was in this section of the country 10 years when the Civil War broke out, and, although he was too young to enlist, he caught the fever that sent many of the older residents into the lines.
    He distinctly remembers when Lincoln was first elected and the bitterness that surrounded the campaign. Voters went to the polls in those days armed with several bottles of whiskey and a strong line of argument, according to Mr. Nichols. The combination usually resulted in a round of fights which kept the neighborhood ringing with gossip many months after.
    Mr. and Mrs. Nichols, who celebrated their 58th wedding anniversary this year, were married in 1873 by Rev. A. C. ("Pa") Howlett of Eagle Point, then the best-known minister in this section of the country.
    Following the ceremony they moved into the mountainous country above Lake Creek, where they later proved up a homestead and started into the stock business on a small scale. They lived in that district for 28 years.
    In 1903 they moved into Medford and Mr. Nichols opened his pioneer meat shop, later forming, with Mr. Ashpole, the well-known firm of Nichols and Ashpole.

To the editor:
    We have just read an editorial in your paper [above] commenting on the dumbness of voters in this district, evidenced by their rejection of a three-mill tax to build the Tiller-Trail road. This lack of intelligence is partially blamed, along with Princess Eugenie hats and other evils, on the depression.
    The taxpayers and people interested in the progress of this district might fall for Eugenie hats, but they would have voted for the tax, depression or no depression. However, the California-Oregon Power Company took a hand in the matter and paid a large number of men employed at Copco to come down here and vote this tax down. Wages continued and gasoline was furnished, if we may believe some of the company men. This is supposed to be legal, due to one of our new laws which entitles one who has lived in the state six months and in the district 30 days to vote, even though they have no taxes to pay and no interest in the matter other than (as in this case) one of holding their jobs. However, it was noted that a sprinkling of these voters' cars bore California licenses, which gives food for thought, since permits are issued to out-of-state cars for 90 days only. But, as you say, the depression is on, and this is no time to be looking for new jobs. Regardless of implications in the above-mentioned article to the contrary, property owners and residents of this district through which this proposed highway would traverse are not ignorant of the benefits derived from these link highways; we find it hard to give any credence to recent rumors that our local chamber of commerce made considerable effort to encourage Copco to vote this tax down. Especially in view of the fact that Medford will naturally expect support from this isolated district when the Williams Creek cutoff [Highway 238] project is made a county issue. In conclusion, will say that we would appreciate as much space in your editorial columns as the one so publicly misleading as the one of the 10th.

    In spite of inclement weather there was a large attendance at the Grange meeting Nov. 17. The special attraction was the program put on by the officers in the nature of a practice meeting, the officers supposed to be practicing for the real entertainment. It was novel and amusing, and consisted of the following numbers:
    Song by the group with fancy steps by Nick Young with a churn. Three readings by Mrs. Edith Weidman; harmonica solo by Paul Force; an impersonating monologue by Sam Coy; the three graces, Beulah Tingleaf, Lucille Coy and Hazel Smith, pleased with a song. Charley Jackson proved a magician by putting an egg in a milk bottle. This puzzled the audience greatly. Nick Young gave a little fling at the Highland Fling. A little skit with a railroad depot scene acted by Roy Ashpole, depot agent, Rudy Weidman, yardman, and Mrs. Lulu Ward, the inquisitive mother attended by a large family of children. Nick Young and Mrs. Sophia Childreth were principals in a musical pantomime, Wm. Perry outdid himself in a monologue harangue.
    But the really artistic touch to the whole performance was given by Mrs. Mae Jackson in a spirited ballet dance. Mrs. Jackson explained that she had been on the stage in 1921, and the years of comfortable living surely fell from her as she danced, and she seemed very young again. Mrs. Botts was at the piano during the program.
    Three candidates were given the first and second obligations.
    The Grange was deeply grieved by the death of one of our members, William Marion, whose illness was of short duration, and our sympathy goes out to the grieving family. Interment was in Butte Falls cemetery with the Grange officiating.
    Miss Gladys Cowden, who has been an officer in our Grange for several years, was married to Mr. Ragsdale of Lake Creek, Nov. 6. We wish them the greatest happiness. While we will miss Miss Gladys, yet our memories of her will be pleasant, for there was no member of the Eagle Point Grange more respected and beloved.

    Dr. Forbes of Jacksonville Grange was a welcome visitor.

     EAGLE POINT, Ore., Nov. 28.--(Spl.)--The beginning of the second year of operation of the local cheese factory shows a very satisfactory condition of business, according to A. Woodrich, manager of Ladino Products Company.
    "November will be the best month of all from the standpoint of operation, cost and sale of cheese," said Mr. Woodrich. "The plant is now fully equipped, and the overhead expenses have been cut to the minimum. The valley markets would absorb a larger output if more milk could be obtained, but if conditions remain as they are during the winter we will be satisfied."
    Preparations are being made, however, to handle a greater quantity of milk next spring. The acreage of forage grasses in the district has been increased on many farms and new ground has been broken up. Indications are that Eagle Point dairy farms will all have an increased number of milk cows when the spring pastures are available.

    W. L. Powell, 35, a resident of the Eagle Point district, the father of three small children and with another visitation of the stork imminent, is held in the county jail, charged with procuring the relief work check of Labe Lucas of Eagle Point from the post office and cashing the same. The amount of the check was $11.94. He will be charged with false endorsement of an instrument.
    Powell is alleged to have gone to the post office and represented himself to be Lucas while the latter was in California, knowing that a county warrant had been mailed Lucas. Powell is claimed to have used the money to buy food for his family.
    The postal authorities have been advised and will probably conduct a probe to learn if this form of "charity racketeering" has been extensive, as there have been a number of complaints from relief workers that they did not receive their checks.
    Powell is silent on the charge, but friends claim he was driven to desperation by the destitution of his family.

    Frank Merritt Manning, beloved old-time pioneer of Southern Oregon, passed away at his homestead on Rogue River above McLeod, Saturday morning at an early hour after an illness of two weeks, due to paralysis. Mr. Manning was born March 6, 1855, at Belvidere, N.Y.
    At the age of 8 he, with his parents, moved to Juneau County, Wisconsin, living there nine years, and in 1863 they crossed the plains by ox teams, settling at Deer Lodge, Mont., where he engaged in gold mining and stock raising with his father.
    He came to Oregon in 1874 and until 1882 spent most of his time in different parts of Oregon, later coming to Southern Oregon and settling on a homestead of 160 acres on which the post office of Leeds, Ore., was established, and of which he was postmaster from 1890 to 1901.
    Mr. Manning was a great lover of the outdoors, liked to trap, fish, hunt, and lived a rugged life, which kept him active up until the time of his death. He was also a man of sterling character, loved by all who knew him, and was very generous, always willing to lend a helping hand.
    He was married to Clara Dodson Phipps on March 20, 1886, near the old ferry on Rogue River below Trail. There are left to mourn his loss his wife Clara Dodson Manning of Trail, Ore.; four children, three daughters and one son--Mrs. Tracy Boothby of Prospect, Ore.: Mrs. J. Ludo Grieve of Prospect, Ore. and Miss Dency Manning of Trail, Ore.; Charles Manning of Prospect, Ore.; also three grandchildren--Edwin Boothby of Klamath Falls, Ore.; Frank Boothby of Prospect and Onnis Grieve of Prospect.

    Subject of the debate was, "Resolved, that the several states should adopt compulsory unemployment insurance," and was most ably handled by the members of the team, the personnel of which was: Miss Helen Wilson and Robert Nelson on the affirmative, with Max Carter and George Bennett on the negative. The rebuttal was particularly good, wherein Miss Wilson with her quick wit and humor scored with the audience.
    There were many points brought out which gave their listeners food for thought.
    We always enjoy having these high school debating teams with us, and we realize more and more what wonderful opportunities the pupils in the schools have today. The ability to think quickly and reason rightly are the mental attributes most sorely needed for social progress.

    Residents of the Tiller-Trail district are mustering forces for another special bond election to vote a levy for the completion of the Tiller-Trail road in Jackson County from the Douglas County line to the Crater Lake Highway. The 12-mile project would cost about $60,000, furnished equally by the state, county and federal government.
    Last November, when the tax reduction was running high, the plan was overwhelmingly defeated, largely because the road district took in too much territory. The lines were drawn to include the Red Blanket improvements of the California Oregon Power Company, Owen-Oregon Lumber Company and other large interests. All the area between Rogue River and the Douglas County line and from Trail to Prospect was included, "to spread out the levy."
    A new road district will be formed, and it will be reduced in size to embrace the territory directly benefited and in favor of the road. It will probably embody the country between Trail and Cascade, and north to the Douglas County line. Most resident of this section are said to be in favor of the plan and so voted at the special election. Under the state law, another election would be held next fall and new petitions circulated.
    The Tiller-Trail road would shorten the distance between Portland and Crater Lake about 40 miles and furnish five or six months work for a large crew of men. It has been approved as a federal road.
    Douglas County will complete the Tiller-Trail road within its boundaries the coming summer and fall, forming a super-road district for the purpose.

    John Franklin Lewis, former resident of Eagle Point, Ore., died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. W. H. Catey, 822 West Twelfth Street, early Monday morning from a stroke of paralysis, after an illness of the past two years. Mr. Lewis was born in Polk County, Ore., May 16, 1857.
    His parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Lewis, were pioneers of the Willamette Valley. They crossed the plains from Missouri in 1853 and built themselves a beautiful home in the Willamette Valley. When the flood of '61 and '62 came, all that was left of their home was a tract of land covered with debris. During the flood the house washed down the river and lodged for a short time against some balm trees.
    Mr. Lewis' father broke a hole through the roof, took a cord from a bedstead and wove a net among the branches of the trees, tore up the upper floor to the house and built a platform in the trees where his family, consisting at that time of himself, wife and five children, remained 24 hours before being rescued from their perilous position.
    Just as they were all safely on the platform, the house broke up and floated down the river. As soon as Mr. Lewis got enough together to move his family, he came to Jackson County, where he lived until his death in 1904.
    Deceased was a resident of Eagle Point for fifty years, thirty of which he had been in business. He was a man of fine character, kindly, friendly, and a wonderful father. He will be mourned by a host of friends besides his family. His wife, Della Lewis, passed away March 1, 1929.
    He leaves nine children, five sons and four daughters, William, Thomas, George, Jerry and Harry, all of Eagle Point; daughters, Mrs. E. G. Riddell, Mrs. Harold Catey, Mrs. Giles Gitzen, Mrs. E. W. Brown, all of Medford, one brother, Newton Lewis of Applegate, Ore.
    Funeral services will be conducted from the Perl funeral home March 3 at 2:30 p.m., Rev. W. H. Eaton officiating. Interment will take place in the Central Point cemetery. Pallbearers will be very intimate friends: William M. Perry, Frank Brown, John Rader, John Miller, W. Childreth and Geo. Givan.

    Prof. C. Engelhardt of the Eagle Point district went on trial in the circuit court this morning, charged with assault and battery upon the person of John Domagalla, a neighbor, with a 16-foot board torn from the side of an outbuilding during the course of a stormy argument at the Domagalla home. Carl Steider, a nephew of the defendant, is alleged to have held Domagalla while Prof. Engelhardt thumped him over the head with the board.
    Domagalla, unused to court procedure, occupied the witness stand this morning, and at one juncture, left the witness chair to explain a point to attorney F. J. Newman, for the defense.
    The state alleges that the dispute and a quarrel arose when Prof. Engelhardt's hog wandered into the Domagalla wheat and ruined the crop. Efforts at a settlement proved unavailing, the testimony showed, and the crisis came when Domagalla was allegedly rendered unconscious for three hours by blows on the head.
    The defense will contend that Prof. Engelhardt offered "to settle for 10 times the damage," but the alleged belligerency of Domagalla prevented. Domagalla contends that he "was offered $1.50," and that an attempt was made to have him sign release papers, which he refused.
Medford Mail Tribune, March 2, 1932, page 2


    Prof. C. Engelhardt of Eagle Point was found guilty yesterday afternoon of assault and battery upon John Domagalla, a neighbor of the Eagle Point district, after short deliberations. Prof. Engelhardt was accused, during a dispute over hogs at large and wheat, of striking Domagalla over the head with a long thin board, rendering him unconscious for two hours. Carl Steider, a nephew of Engelhardt, jointly indicted and alleged to have held Domagalla during the fight, is now in California.
    The next criminal case on the docket is the Sanford-Ewing road right-of-way fuss in the Ashland district. It reached its peak last summer when during the course of an argument Mrs. Ewing was allegedly injured sufficiently to be sent to a hospital. The dispute has also found its way into the civil courts.

    I. A. Pruett, one of Southern Oregon's best known pioneers, who crossed the plains in the early days, passed away this morning following a month's illness. He was born in Quincy, Ill., on August 2, 1859, and at the age of five years journeyed in a covered wagon to California, where his family made their home at Knight's Landing.
   At the age of 12 years, Mr. Pruett came to the Oregon country and made his home on his father's, J. H. Pruett's, homestead in the Rogue River Valley. This was one of Jackson County's first homesteads, located near the present Crater Lake Highway, between Medford and Eagle Point. He remembered Jacksonville in its mining days, before the city of Medford was established. There were many Indians in this valley when Mr. Pruett grew to manhood on his father's homestead.
    On June 3, 1886, Mr. Pruett married Jennie Garrett, and to this union two girls were born--Mrs. Donna Bigham of Sacramento, Cal., and Miss Georgia Pruett, who are now mourning the death of their beloved father. Mr. Pruett is also survived by a grandson, Gene Bigham, and two brothers, Rhode Pruett of Yreka, Cal. and William Pruett of Medford.

    Prof. C. Engelhardt, well-known farmer of the Eagle Point district, found guilty by a circuit court jury of assault and battery upon John Domagalla, a neighbor, will not be sentenced by Circuit Judge H. D. Norton until after the trial of Carl Steider, a nephew of Engelhardt, jointly indicted for the same offense. This decision was reached yesterday following the return of Steider from California, whence Engelhardt went to bring him back. Steider entered a plea of not guilty yesterday.
    Steider's trial has been set as the final case on the present docket, which is expected to end March 14.
    A report today said that Prof. Engelhardt would ask leniency on the grounds of age and pressure of farm work. His assault and battery conviction constitutes a misdemeanor, subject to county jail imprisonment not to exceed a year.
    Prof. Engelhardt was convicted of hitting Domagalla over the head with a board during a dispute at the Domagalla home last October over payment of damage for the Engelhardt hogs ruining the Domagalla crops. Steider is alleged to have held Domagalla while his uncle hit him with a thin board about 10 feet long. The blow, Domagalla testified, rendered him unconscious for three hours.

    Petitions asking for a new investigation into the death of Everett Dahack, November 14, 1930, during the course of a raid on a Reese Creek still were reported in circulation today.
    No immediate action is contemplated by the district attorney's office into the slaying of Everett Dahack during a raid on a moonshine still on Reese Creek, November 14, 1930, and which played a prominent part in the Parr-Fehl libel suit, which ended yesterday.
    "All evidence produced at the Fehl-Parr trial, and a lot more, was before the two regular grand juries and the special grand jury," said District Attorney George Codding today. "They failed to return a true bill. There is no new evidence, and nothing for a grand jury to consider save what has been told before. The case is still open, however, and subject to investigation if public interest or new developments warrant. It is simply a question whether a grand jury is going to believe Ted Smith or Paul Jennings, or, in other words, the moonshiners or the officers."
    The case was investigated by the regular grand jury at the time, and later by a special grand jury of which J. J. Skinner was foreman. The special grand jury was conducted by a special prosecutor appointed by Governor Julius L. Meier, and a month was spent in investigating and hearing evidence.
    William A. Aitken of this city is foreman of the present grand jury, impaneled at the opening of the present term of court. Any citizen, under the law, has the right to request the court to call for an investigation and to introduce any new evidence he may have.

    Mrs. Everett Dahack Hood, widow of Everett Dahack, found dead following a raid November 14, 1930, near the mash barrels of a Reese Creek still, appeared before District Attorney George A. Codding late yesterday afternoon and read a statement in which she requested that a warrant be issued for the arrest of Joe Cave, Medford policeman, on a murder charge, and that the other members of the liquor raiding party be held as alleged accessories before the fact, they being Deputy Sheriff Paul Jennings and Louis Jennings, and State Prohibition officers Cy Herr and Harry Hogan.
    The statement presented by Mrs. Dahack Hood asked that the murder complaint be issued, in the light of evidence adduced at the trial of libel suit of Roy Parr, game warden, against the Pacific Record-Herald, and its editor Earl H. Fehl, in which Parr was awarded $15,000 general punitive damages.
    The widow was accompanied as witnesses by Miss Alva Geary, 113 West Eleventh Street, Will H. Wilson, merchant, and Arthur LaDieu and Moore Hamilton, attached to a local paper. Mrs. Dahack Hood informed the prosecutor that the statement had been prepared by her attorney, E. E. Kelly.
    The statement also requested that a special grand jury be drawn to reinvestigate the death of Dahack.
    District Attorney Codding said today that he was considering requesting that Circuit Court Judge H. D. Norton make the decision, relative to the calling of a special grand jury. He declared he would take no action, at this time, towards reopening the case.
    District Attorney Codding informed the delegation that as far as he was able to ascertain, no new evidence was brought out by the Fehl-Parr suit, but that as soon as the transcript of the testimony was prepared, he intended to search it.
    He informed the group that there had been a coroner's jury, a justice court preliminary hearing, a regular grand jury, a special grand jury, with a special prosecutor and a special investigation of Governor Meier had delved into the case without finding facts warranting arrests or complaints being found, and that further cost of investigation was not warranted unless new and tangible evidence was produced. The district attorney declared that no evidence was brought out at the libel suit trial which had not been presented to all the previous inquisitorial bodies.
    The burden of the defense in the libel suit alleged that Cave fired the fatal shot on the day of the raid, and the defense counsel in its closing argument stressed these allegations. The request for a new investigation was generally expected by the public as a natural backwash of the result of the libel trial.
    It is understood that petitions are now being circulated throughout the county asking that a new special grand jury be called, and requesting that the governor appoint a special prosecutor.

    Those who reside in the rich Eagle Point district, and especially old-timers, will be interested in the announcement in today's Mail Tribune that George Brown & Sons' Eagle Point store is being completely remodeled. Extensive improvements are being made to facilitate the handling of increased stocks and to afford better service to customers of this well-known establishment.
    The opening of the remodeled store will take place Saturday, when special bargains and surprise novelties will be featured.

This old establishment has been serving the public continuously under the same family management since 1877. Saturday's opening will be a jubilee which will mark 55 years of successfully serving the Southern Oregon public, and the remodeling evidences the progressiveness of George Brown & Sons.

    Trial of Carl Steider, charged with assault and battery upon John Domagalla, a farmer of the Eagle Point district, last October, will be started in the circuit court this afternoon. It was originally intended to try Steider at the end of the present term of court, but to expedite matters [it] was brought ahead.
    Steider was brought back recently from California by his uncle, Prof. C. Engelhardt, found guilty and awaiting sentence for the same offense--a misdemeanor and therefore subject to a county jail sentence.
    Domagalla alleges in his complaint, and so testified at the Prof. Engelhardt trial, that as a climax of an argument over the amount of money to be paid as damage to crops and garden inflicted by the Prof. Englehardt's hogs, Steider held him while Prof. Engelhardt belabored him on the head with a 1x6 board about 12 feet long.
    [omission] when the Steider case is completed. He is a well-known figure of the county, where he has resided for 20 years.

    Following her failure Thursday to induce District Attorney Codding to issue a warrant for arrest of policeman Joe Cave on a murder charge, the former's action being based on the ground that the Dahack shooting case had been thoroughly investigated by two grand juries without recommending such action, and that such an arrest now, without new evidence of merit, would be a useless expense to the taxpayers. Mrs. Everett Dahack Hood, widow of Everett Dahack, killed in a liquor still raid Nov. 1, 1930, met with a similar refusal from Justice of the Peace Glenn O. Taylor yesterday.
    Accompanied by another woman, Will H. Wilson and a young reporter of a morning newspaper and holding in her hand a document which was presumably the same statement of the case she had presented to the district attorney, Mrs. Hood stated that inasmuch as Mr. Codding had refused to act she now asked Judge Taylor to issue a warrant for Cave's arrest on the murder charge.
    The court explained to Mrs. Hood that he could not legally grant her request; that the law gives him only discretionary power whenever the district attorney or county prosecutor was not available in a murder case, to swear out the information himself and issue such a warrant.
    The present situation, he further explained, did not legally justify his granting her request.
    Even if he did issue such a warrant, he said, the district attorney could come into court and have the case dismissed at once, as the law gave the latter official full control in such matters.
    Judge Taylor thereupon advised Mrs. Dahack Hood that if she possessed any new evidence bearing on the case she could present it to the next regular grand jury when the latter convened, for consideration.
    Neither Will H. Wilson nor others accompanying Mrs. Hood uttered a word in court. The group was only in the room a few minutes.

    Carl Steider, Eagle Point district farm boy, was found guilty of assault and battery by a circuit court jury at 5:00 o'clock Saturday afternoon. The jury, of which O. T. Bergner of Ashland was foreman, signed a recommendation of leniency for the youth. Steider is a nephew of Prof. C. Engelhardt, also found guilty of the same charge.
    The assault was allegedly committed upon John Domagalla, a neighbor of Prof. Engelhardt, which in it was testified Prof. Engelhardt hit Domagalla with a long board during a dispute over damage done by the Engelhardt hogs. Steider is alleged to have held Domagalla's arms during the fight last October.
    Steider was represented by attorney Frank J. Newman and attorney Frank DeSouza, and the state by Deputy District Attorney George Nielsen.

    Passing of sentence upon Prof. C. Engelhardt and his nephew, Carl Steider, both residents of the Eagle Point district, will be made upon return of Circuit Judge H. D.

    A jury, of which O. T. Bergner of Ashland was foreman, late Saturday returned a verdict finding Steider guilty, with a recommendation for leniency.
    The verdict of guilty carries with it a county jail sentence, as assault and battery is a misdemeanor.

    Affidavits alleging misconduct on the part of two jurors--George L. Treichler of Central Point and B. J. Palmer of this city--were filed late yesterday by attorney F. J. Newman in a motion for a new trial for Prof. C. Engelhardt of the Eagle Point district, sentenced to pay a fine upon conviction of an assault and battery charge.
    In the affidavit made by attorney Newman he declares that following the conviction of Prof. Engelhardt he asked Treichler and Palmer, two of the jurors:
    "How in the world did you arrive at such a verdict, in view of the evidence?"
    They replied in effect, the affidavits affirm, they did not believe Engelhardt guilty, but thought "he should be punished."
    It is charged in the affidavit that juror Treichler entertained prejudice against Prof. Engelhardt but which he did not divulge during questioning, but which was revealed when Treichler was called and excused as a juror in the trial to Carl Steider, nephew of Engelhardt. Attorney Frank DeSouza, attorney for Steider, makes affidavit that Treichler was prejudiced.
    It is further alleged in the defense plea that the district attorney's office let the defense to believe that Steider would be returned from California at state expense but was not, which impaired the defense of Engelhardt, "by accident or surprise against which ordinary prejudice could not guard." Steider makes affidavit that he is a poor man and was unable to come to testify at the trial of his uncle. The defense holds that his testimony would have thrown a different light on the result.
    It is also alleged that the testimony of the complaining witness, John Domagalla, was uncorroborated and "ridiculous" and that the testimony showed Engelhardt was not present at the time of the alleged assault.
    The affidavits ask that a new trial be granted as "a rebuke to the jurors and the righting of an injustice."
    Prof. Engelhardt and Carl Steider were indicted and convicted upon a charge of assault upon John Domagalla, a neighbor, during a dispute over damages to a crop caused by the Engelhardt hogs. Domagalla, he testified, was hit over the head with a long board and knocked unconscious.

    A petition signed by practically all the business men and residents of the Eagle Point district was presented to the county court this morning asking that a light layer of oil be applied to the main road of that place to lay the dust during the summer months. Heavy auto travel over the road during the summer makes the dust a terrific nuisance to the housewives of that section. The petition was presented by Royal Brown of Eagle Point.
    Inasmuch as the oiling fund was cut to the bone by the budget committee last winter, there is no money on hand for the war on dust, so the Eagle Point plea was taken under advisement with the promise relief would be granted if possible.

To the Editor:
    Your editorial in the issue of Monday, April 25, just read. I cannot say that all is lost of kindliness and good will expressed in human friendliness. Last fall my barn and contents was burned to the ground. Three days afterwards the poles to construct a new barn were on the ground; 30 days afterwards the complete barn was standing, a visible, material manifestation of kindliness, good will and friendliness expressed by my friends and neighbors in Eagle Point and vicinity.
    Perhaps if we will be less pessimistic and not necessarily narrow our view but concentrate on the things at hand we will see more good in our vicinity and thereby prepare our minds to see good afar off--although it is ever present.
Eagle Point, April 26.

The Grange is an organization that does not depend on large dues to carry out its work, but on the force and convictions of its members. Every day in every way the Grange grows stronger and stronger.

    The next regular meeting will be May 17. All Grangers cordially welcome, always.

    Raleigh Mathews, widely known resident of the Eagle Point district, sentenced to serve two years in state prison upon conviction of liquor violations in connection with the raiding of a still on Reese Creek in 1930, which ended with the tragic death of Everett Dahack, a kinsman, was paroled from the penitentiary April 1. Mathews returned to this valley and is now engaged in farming on his place in the Eagle Point district.
    Mathews served ten months of a two-year sentence. His first application for parole was disapproved by the parole board following protests submitted by local authorities and citizens. No protests were filed on the second appeal. Mathews has been more or less in the courts of Jackson County for several years. During his incarceration in the "big house," he was a model prisoner and enjoyed special privileges, being engaged largely in outdoor farm work.
    Evidence at the trial of Mathews showed that he was among those present when the raiders swooped down on the Reese Creek still, and his attempted flight resulted in the firing of the shot that ended in the death of Dahack.
    It is understood that Frank Bennett, serving three years from this county upon conviction for a statutory offense involving a 15-year-old girl, will make application at the May meeting of the state parole board.

    The senior class of the Eagle Point High School for this year is the least on record with the exception of one former year. It consists of three members only, but its numbers are slightly enlarged by the addition of two postgraduates, Wallace Dinsmore and Dorthea Pearce.
   The activities of the class have been shared by the junior group, another small class, made up entirely of boys, whose names are Clarence Tingleaf, Vance Pearce, Tom Coy, Louis Rohrer and Joe Miller. This group is known among its own members as the big five, though Rohrer is the only one of any physical magnitude.
    While the members of the combined group have not excelled in physical prowess, it is generally understood that they supply the mature judgement and intellectual force so necessary in making student functions run smoothly and effectively. This fact has been attested individually by each member of the group.
    The most outstanding achievement of the combined group throughout the year has been the publication of a weekly news sheet known as the "Eagle's Quill." This paper is the product of the class in journalism which is made up of both juniors and seniors. It has been issued regularly since the first of October and carries the distinction of being the only publication among the secondary high schools of Jackson County that has been consistently published for the entire year.
    The publication has followed quite closely to the news sheet plan but has produced a credible editorial sheet. Little or no filler has been used in its makeup during its entire history of three years. The articles, with occasional exceptions, are the products of the students themselves, and the editorials are written exclusively by students. All stenciling and mimeograph work is done by the students also.
    The Quill has been self-supporting, largely through the loyal advertising support of local merchants. The circulation has increased from semester to semester and has now reached a hundred forty. Its publication has been regular over a period of three consecutive school years and is a matter of considerable pride to the school as well as to the class of journalism.
    Because of the small number of seniors, it is doubtful if any formal graduation ceremonies will be held this year. Mr. Davies has served as group advisor and has aided in the supervision of the "Eagle's Quill."

    The Dahack case is brought up as the first evidence of miscarriage of justice--Exhibit No. 1--to show the complete downfall of law and order.
    In a raid on a still in the Eagle Point district there is no doubt that Dahack was killed. The Mail Tribune at that time maintained, as it had on previous occasions, that to violate the prohibition law was not a capital crime, that taking shots at suspects was not justified, EXCEPT in self-defense, that we were tired, and we believed the people were tired, of enforcement officers shooting FIRST and investigating AFTERWARD.
    A CORONER'S jury was called but was unable to secure sufficient evidence to identify the party guilty of this killing. A grand jury was called, the entire matter was investigated and still sufficient evidence to justify an indictment was not secured. Local feeling continued strong, however, so an appeal was made to Governor Meier, the matter was taken out of the hands of local law enforcement officers entirely, and the Governor appointed Willis Moore, deputy attorney general, to make a complete investigation and as special prosecutor bring all evidence available before a SPECIAL grand jury.
    Attorney Moore came to Medford, spent several weeks in investigating the case from every angle, every individual involved in the case in any way was called in and all TESTIFIED, and still, in the opinion of Mr. Moore and in the opinion of the members of that special grand jury, the identity of the man who fired the fatal shot could not be clearly enough established to justify an indictment.
    Can such a procedure be termed a WHITEWASH! The truth as we see it is that during the confusion and excitement of a raid on a still, when with five or six officers and as many moonshiners milling around, many shots were fired, one of those shots killed Dahack. Which shot probably killed him it was impossible for two local juries and one special grand jury, under the direction of both the local district attorney and a special state prosecutor, to establish.
    Now if any new evidence has been unearthed, which was NOT considered by these three juries, which strongly points to the guilty party or parties, we see no objection to bringing this case up for the FOURTH TIME before the present grand jury and submitting that evidence.
    If that new evidence justifies an indictment, then no one will be more gratified than the Mail Tribune, for we strongly feel that the sooner the mystery of this Dahack killing is cleared up and the guilty parties punished, the better for all concerned.
    But if new evidence does NOT, in the opinion of the grand jury, justify placing the expense of another long drawn-out trial on the shoulders of the taxpayers, then we certainly feel that decision should be regarded as final, and this Dahack agitation dropped until more convincing evidence is available.
    For we agree that every honest citizen should be willing to abide by the law, and the law determines that whether evidence justifies or doesn't justify further action, rests not with the newspapers or the politicians, but with the GRAND JURY!

    Appearance of L. A. Banks before the grand jury was delayed this afternoon by finishing other matters before the body. Banks reported at 1:30 o'clock and was excused until further notice, which will probably be late this afternoon.
    L. A. Banks, newspaper publisher of this city, was scheduled to appear before the grand jury when it met at 1:30 today for the afternoon session, to present any evidence he may possess on his published charges of alleged "miscarriage of justice," corruption in city and county affairs, "whitewashing of the coroner's jury" in the Reese Creek still raid, in which Everett Dahack was slain, and any other evidence of alleged illegalities or wrongdoing in local government affairs.
    District Attorney George A. Codding said this morning that Banks would be requested to present "fully and freely, upon the entire field of his allegations, including charges pertaining to the Dahack matter."
    Transcripts of the testimony before the regular grand jury, the special grand jury conducted by a special prosecutor named by the governor, and the coroner's jury in the Dahack case, will be available. Banks charged Monday that the coroner's jury was a "whitewash" and that Ted Goetchen, Lee Smith and Raleigh Matthews of the Eagle Point district, found guilty of operating the Reese Creek still, were denied the right to testify.
    District Attorney Codding stated that the transcript would show that Smith and Goetchen were brought from the county jail to the coroner's jury and when called upon to testify refused, "I think, upon the advice of their attorneys." Matthews was at liberty on bonds at the time of the coroner's jury.
    District Attorney Codding further stated that at the conclusion of the coroner's inquest, a request was made that anyone present "who knew anything about the affair" come forward and testify.
    It is expected that Banks will be before the grand jury most of the afternoon and that the grand jury will conclude its present labors tomorrow noon.
    The morning session of the grand jury was devoted to hearing testimony in minor cases.

    Social meeting of the Eagle Point Grange June 11 was a success from every standpoint. The hall was crowded to capacity, even the standing room being all taken up.
    Guests of the Grange joined wholeheartedly in the gaieties of the evening, and many have voiced intention of joining the organization at an early date.
    The program consisted of the following numbers: assembly song; duet by Mrs. S. W. Baize and Mrs. B. K. Riggs accompanied by Mrs. Mittelstaedt on the piano; talk by Mrs. Gertrude Haak, "The Purpose and Aim of the Grange"; humorous play by Mrs. Mabel Harnish, Mrs. Bertha Young, Mrs. Zora Humphrey, Mrs. Grace Walker, Mrs. Dinsmore, Mrs. Cora Smith, Mrs. A. J. Tingleaf; talk by Wilfred Davies, solo by James Baize; talk by E. R. Nealon of Sams Valley; and the final number "The Arizona Wranglers" (which won most vociferous applause) by Sam Coy, sheriff, Bob Cowden, Wallace Ragsdale, Bill Holman, Ed Cowden, Wayne Whaley, Chub Sturgill, Clarence Tingleaf. This number, put on almost entirely by regular cowboys in full regalia, consisted of many cowboy chantey songs, accompanied by violin, guitars, banjo and harmonica. It certainly brought down the house.

    Taxpayers of the Trail district to the number of 39 have presented a petition to the county court requesting that body to urge the state highway commission to order a survey of the Tiller-Trail road from the Jackson-Douglas County boundary line to the Crater Lake Highway at Trail. The petition sets forth that while no funds are now available for construction of the road, the survey would expedite and put plans in order for the future.
    The signers of the petition, in exchange, agree to deed to Jackson County right-of-way through their property without cost. The main condition is that the survey be along the present lines or near it. Sentiment is strong in the Trail area for the construction of the road. It would provide employment.
    Douglas County, by use of a special road district fund and federal aid, has completed a good portion of its part of the road.
    Last fall a road district was formed to vote $25,000 special road bonds for the road construction. This district embraced a large amount of territory, the eastern boundary line taking in the Red Blanket project of the California-Oregon Power Company near Prospect. The measure was defeated overwhelmingly, at a special election.

    G. Mynatt, 25, of Eagle Point, received serious injuries to his eyes, face, chest, arms and abdomen late Friday, when a stick of dynamite exploded in a well he was drilling, driving a shower of rock and gravel into his skin, perforating it with painful holes.
    Mynatt had placed two sticks of dynamite in the well. An explosion followed and he, assuming that both sticks had gone off, soon after entered the well to continue drilling. He placed the drill into a hole and the action was immediately followed by a second explosion.
    Small rocks and gravel from the bottom of the well were blown into his face, his mouth and eyes and driven into the skin of other parts of his body.
    The well being located on his father's ranch out from Eagle Point, several members of the family were present and a rope was immediately lowered, his body lassoed, and the injured man brought to the ground. He was taken to the Sacred Heart Hospital, where he underwent an operation for removal of the tiny rocks, which Dr. L. D. Inskeep, attending physician, stated last night, had not left one inch of his skin without perforations.
    Mynatt's eyes, which were badly injured by the flying stones, seemed slightly improved yesterday, and it was believed his sight would not be permanently impaired by the accident.
    His skin will be scarred and the injuries, necessarily, very painful for some time, Dr. Inskeep stated last night. He spent several hours removing particles of rock and dirt from the man's skin and was then unable to locate all embedded by the explosion.

    Robert Rose, a widely known mountaineer of the Long Mountain district, and Jack Rice, who claims to have an interest in cattle in the same district, were arrested today for alleged setting of forest fires in the Butte Falls district early this month. The complaint was sworn to by Dwight Phipps, chief of the state fire patrol for this section.
    According to the district attorney's office, Rice and Rose are alleged to have set fire on both sides of the trail on which they were traveling. They will be arraigned and given a preliminary hearing before Justice of the Peace Glenn O. Taylor.
    Rose and Rice were closeted all morning with the district attorney and state forester relative to their asserted firebug activities.
    The arrests are said to be part of a determined campaign on the part of state authorities to stamp out timber incendiarism. In Josephine County recently, two youths were sentenced to state prison terms for forest arson, and other cases of a similar nature are pending in that county.
    A number of mysterious fire settings in the timbered areas are under investigation.
    Rose is a well-known hill character of the county and has acted as a deer hunt guide for many local hunters in the past. He has a large number of hound dogs he uses chasing cougars and other creatures of the hills. Two years ago he engaged in a lively controversy with the county court over a road through his mountain ranch.

    A survey of the Little Butte Creek secondary highway was started this morning by the county engineer's office, through an agreement recently reached with the state highway commission. By this agreement the county does the surveying, with state highway funds, and it is further provided that the state secondary highway apportionment for this county for the next two years be applied to the Little Butte Creek road. The survey will be from the old city water intake to the Milo Conley place, a distance of six miles.
    According to County Engineer Paul Rynning, the survey will be completed before snow flies so construction can be started next spring, and it will be a wider and better road than under the old plan.
    An early decision by the state highway commission on rerouting the Siskiyou road, and three other Southern Oregon projects, is expected. The rerouting involves expenditures of $455,000 of federal money, appropriated as unemployment relief funds. Residents of the Ashland district signed a petition of protest against the work, under the misapprehension that the money came from local taxes and sale of state bonds. The state highway commission will meet at Salem Wednesday.
    A. D. Helms and Charles Howard, two members of the "Taxpayers Association" that favored the improvement of the present road rather than the building of a new one, have stated that arrangements have been made for any signer to withdraw their names from the petition, as they had no intention of misrepresenting the facts.
    The county court is anxious to have the work started as soon as possible, so as to furnish work for a number of Jackson County residents, and intend to make it the main work project for the winter months. Old labor cards will be used and safeguards will be established to thwart as much as possible transient indigents from swarming onto the job. It is reported that several have settled in the north and south ends of the county for the purpose of establishing residence here and come under the relief program. The county has an up-to-date list of worthy Jackson County residents, who will be given preference. It will be a month or more before any work will be available on the road projects.

    Circulation of petitions against O. C. Boggs, attorney of this city, protesting against his conduct of the affairs of the Eagle Point Irrigation District, as a director, and against Ed Dutton, county road supervisor for the same district, have been reported in northern parts of the county the past week.
    Reports from the same section said that the next political turmoil in this county would center around County Engineer Paul Rynning, who has two more years to serve in the elective office of county engineer. It was reported that a campaign had been mapped against the county engineer with the objective of capitalizing [on] the discontent of the times.
    W. H. Brown, a merchant of Eagle Point, said today that the petitions against Boggs "had been around," and that landowners objected to "pushing them for payments for water and dues."
    One of the allegations against Road Supervisor Dutton was that the was "using county gasoline for private riding."
    Reports said that the petitions obtained "some names, but not as many as expected."
    Another report, fairly authentic, was to the effect that a "Citizens' Committee of 100" is being organized, and 27 members have been secured. The "Committee of 100," according to the report, would start functioning as the motive power of the county campaign, and would "keep a watchful eye on county officials in particular, and affairs in general, for the purification of politics."
    The above events are signs that the political pot has started boiling and will be popping furiously within the next two weeks. Most of the candidates have their cards in windows, and the first campaign dance will be held at Ashland next Tuesday, when the county Democrats open their campaign. There will be no charge, unless the voters care to dance after the oratory.

    An order of commitment against Prof. C. Engelhardt, a well-known resident of the Eagle Point district, was placed in the hands of Sheriff Ralph Jennings this morning for service. Prof. Engelhardt was convicted last March by a circuit court jury of assault upon John Domagalla, a neighbor, as a climax of a long-standing argument over loose stock and other matters. Prof. Engelhardt was sentenced to pay a fine of $250 costs and allowed time to pay. Carl Steider, a nephew of Prof. Engelhardt, was granted a parole upon conviction on the same charge.
    Prof. Engelhardt, according to the county clerk's office, made a payment of $10 upon his fine.
    The district attorney's office stated that the action was taken as a matter of routine, and that Prof. Engelhardt already had been extended more leniency than customary in cases of a similar nature. The filing of the commitment order has been held in abeyance for close to six months.
    The case of Prof. Engelhardt was heralded during the spring primary as one of "the breakdowns of law and order in Jackson County" cases. Following his conviction, Prof. Engelhardt filed charges that two members of the jury were prejudiced against him.
    Under Oregon law, unless Prof. Engelhardt pays the balance of his fine and costs, he is liable to jail sentence at the rate of $2 per day.
    Recently, Prof. Engelhardt was authentically reported as a circulator of a recall petition against Circuit Judge H. D. Norton in the Applegate district.

    Prof. C. Engelhardt of the Eagle Point district, convicted of assault last March 2 by a circuit court jury, and sentenced to pay a fine of $250 and costs, was detained Friday afternoon by the sheriff's office on an order of commitment. Prof. Engelhardt had only paid $10 of his fine. After his detention, Dr. W. W. P. Holt advanced the necessary cash and the case was cleared from the county books. Seven months' leniency was extended Prof. Engelhardt, much more that is usually granted to cases of a similar nature, according to officials.
    Prof. Engelhardt was found guilty of assault upon a neighbor, John Domagalla, following a neighborhood quarrel. A nephew, Carl Stedter, found guilty of the same crime, was granted a parole.
    Following his conviction the Engelhardt case was heralded as an example of the "breakdown of law and order in Jackson County," and it was charged members of the jury were prejudiced against him. Prof. Engelhardt was also described as a local "injustice martyr."
    Domagalla alleged that Engelhardt, during the course of the fuss, tore a board off the side of a henhouse and hit him on the head with it.

Outstanding warrants have been reduced in a considerable amount; improvements have been made in old laterals and new ones have been constructed; cost of delivering water has been reduced to less than one-third of the high peak in 1925; over 4000 acres are under water, as compared with 2000 acres at that date.
    C. F. Davies, secretary, explained the bookkeeping system inaugurated by the state auditor and in his talk said the books were open to inspection at any time.
    State Engineer Stricklin compared Eagle Point district with other Oregon districts, stating that this district had made a good showing during the past few years. R. T. Seaman, district superintendent, urged a united effort by land owners to secure payments of taxes. He said that if taxes were paid in full, all outstanding warrants would be canceled, and the district would then be in shape to ask cooperation of bondholders in reorganization.
    A recently circulated petition for the recall of the president of the board was discussed. In an opinion rendered some years ago by the attorney general, he stated that the irrigation district laws did not provide for the recall of directors.
    The district election for one director will be held November 8 at the Isabel ranch house, near Reese Creek school.

    The Eagle Point Grange hall was filled to capacity last night for the Democratic rally, staged by candidates for county offices and Colonel E. E. Kelly, who is stumping the county in the interests of the Roosevelt-Garner ticket.
    Each candidate addressed the crowd and received a hearty welcome and repeated applause followed the appeal of Colonel Kelly for support of Governor Roosevelt.
    The tariff was the chief subject reviewed by Colonel Kelly, who stated that 1028 economists of note in 170 the leading colleges and universities of the United States protested the Smoot-Hawley tariff, which was passed in spite of all opposition. Forty-five leading nations of the world and the leading newspapers of the land also opposed the tariff, Colonel Kelly told his audience. The disaster prophesied in the opposition has already resulted and is to be seen on every side, he added, referring particularly to the local fruit industry.
    "Canada has cut out our pears and apples in favor of the Australian cities [sic] and other British possessions. Our superior quality fruits cannot get by that barrier. The same situation is true with Great Britain, France and other countries," the speaker declared.
    Colonel Kelly also outlined the costs of government, stating that they have increased since 1922 from eleven million to fifty-two million dollars in the department of commerce alone.
    Another Democratic rally will be held at Central Point tonight and another at Applegate tomorrow night. In both places the meetings will be at the Grange halls and will be open at 8 o'clock.

    Annual election of officers of the Eagle Point Grange will be held November 15. All members are urged to attend and help elect efficient, conscientious officers, who will untiringly work for the best interests of the organization. In selecting officers, or in transacting the business of the Grange, loyalty toward the organization should be put ahead of loyalty to friends, or even to personal interest. Only by such loyalty will the organization be able to render the service to members to which they are entitled.
    At the next meeting the question of buying the Daley hall as a permanent home for the Grange will be voted on. There are several propositions open to the Grange in regard to a future hall. It will pay any member to study well the different plans before deciding permanently. They are as follows:
    To buy the Daley hall (which we have been renting for several years) for $800, reserving the balance of our building fund to add a dining hall,, stage and anterooms; to buy the Kincaid dance hall for $800; to buy the Kincaid dance hall and adjoining confectionery and living rooms for $1200; to use our building fund to rebuild an unfinished hall on our old location, where we still have  considerable investment; or to continue renting for the present and add to our building fund as we can until our fund is sufficient to build a comfortable hall on our old site.
    These are all feasible plans, and we urge all members to give careful thought to the matter and attend the next meeting and vote for what you consider the best interests of the organization, for whatever you do will doubtless decide for all future time the question of a hall. This is a matter where loyalty to the organization should be placed before friendships and personal gain. Come to the Grange on Tuesday, November 15.

    ROSEBURG, Ore., Dec. 18.--(AP)--Withdrawal by the federal power board of lands along the North Umpqua River to permit construction of the proposed highway from Roseburg to Diamond Lake is expected to result in an immediate order by the federal bureau of public roads for a survey of the route for the road. The highway has already been designated on the forest highway map and portions have already been built, one section extending from Roseburg eastward to Steamboat ranger station, 45 miles from this city, and the other from Diamond Lake westward to Big Camas ranger station, a distance of 40 miles, leaving an uncompleted gap of 22 miles to be graded.
    Appropriation of original power site lands would have forced construction of the balance of the road to a high mountainside, where suitable alignment and grade could not have been secured. Under the new ruling the power company will be able to use only low diversion dams and conduits on power development below Toketee Falls, beyond which the power site withdrawals are not affected by the board's ruling.
    The federal board's decision was largely influenced, it is stated, by the declaration of the Oregon game commission that it would contest construction of any high dams affecting passage of fish below the natural barrier at Toketee Falls.
