This is quite an expense because it costs more to go from Alturas to Reno than it costs to go from Reno to London.

The Eastern market claims the public is so used to paying a high price for meat that the retailer is finding it constantly easier to dispose of his meat at whatever price he chooses. March prices for cattle have been 60 cents per hundred higher than in any other year of the record. Market volume is down, however, because of the big drought of 1913. Look for more Mexican cattle on the market in years ahead…. The vote to recall supervisor John Wall was more than 201 in favor of Mr. Wall staying in office….Recent Modoc registration figures show 898 Republicans, 804 Democrats, 22 Prohibitionists, 44 Progressives and 54 couldn’t make up their mind. 73 Years Ago – 1934 PERCY HARRIS is putting the finishing touches this week on his new lumberyard in Cedarville….The railroad track laid west of Canby that was intended to supply the Pickering Lumber Company in Alturas is now being torn up.

Modoc County Record – April26, 2007 Charlie E. Holloway Long-time Modoc County resident and retired timber faller, Charlie Eugene Holloway of Alturas, passed away peacefully on the evening of April 17, 2007 at Merle West Medical Center in Klamath Falls, OR. He was 78. Mr. Holloway was the youngest and last surviving of five boys born to Lee Roy and Nancy Lula Bell Holloway. Charlie was born on the family's cattle ranch in Groesbeck, Texas on October 13, 1928. When hoof and mouth disease wiped out their cattle, the family moved from the Texas plains to Pie Town, New Mexico, in what Charlie's mother called "the last wagon train out of Texas" with two covered wagons, a car, livestock, chickens and children in tow, making the trek at 18 miles each day when Charlie was six years old in 1934. The Holloways came to Modoc County's Big Lake logging camp near Ballard Reservoir in the 1940s, where Charlie's father and brothers worked as timber fallers. As a teen, Charlie worked on the railroad that hauled the logs from the mountain to the mill in Canby. Charlie was a timber faller for most of his life and a respected hard worker for many northern California and southern Oregon companies from Greagle, CA to Chiloquin, OR. After he retired at age 68, he drove the Modoc County Record newspaper for the Klamath printing run for the nine years that followed. Charlie met Ruth Jay when her twin brother Dick introduced them at Modoc Union High School, which they were both attending. They were married in Reno, NV on May 10, 1947 and would have celebrated their 60th anniversary next month. Their first six years of marriage were spent in Canby, which suited the big Holloway family fine. Canby was a vibrant logging and railroad town, with an equal number of bars and churches. Charlie and Ruth moved into Alturas after that. One of Charlie's great loves was country music, but he also liked swing and was a smooth dancer. He played second base on the "semi-pro" baseball team from Canby against the Alturas Tigers. He was also the second baseman for the very strong Canby Logger's softball team when softball was a big deal in Modoc and games were attended almost like current football games. Charlie coached Little League, Babe Ruth, organized and coached an American Legion team here. His Tierney Ford sponsored Babe Ruth team didn't lose a game for two years. His eldest child Rick played shortstop and pitched. Charlie was respected as a smart, winning and patient coach. He also had the honor of coaching a softball team that consisted of his three sons, five nephews and only two players who weren't related. He always said those were some of the really fun parts of his life. Charlie was an avid bowler for decades. In 1998, his team won the Oregon Bowling Association Division 5 state championship. He was a sports enthusiast who was almost a walking encyclopedia of baseball, by far his favorite sport. He was very proud of his family and his family likewise proud of him. He had his five children, but there was seldom a time when one or more of his nephews or nieces were not also at the family dining table. There was always room for one more at Charlie's table and anyone in the family knew the door was always open, often for extended times. If any of the kids, from the Holloway or Jay sides of the family, needed a place to stay, there was always a place for them under Ruth and Charlie's roof. Once his sons-in-law and daughters-in-law married into the family, they became family. Charlie was a kind, intelligent, caring father, husband, uncle, grandfather, great-grandfather and good friend. He loved his work and worked hard, but also knew how to have fun and relax. His wit and his wonderfully honest smile will be missed. Charlie was a member of the Alturas Elks Lodge 1756, where a host of his family and friends gathered for a memorial service and time of fellowship on April 21. He is survived by his wife Ruth Holloway of Alturas; son Rick and wife Jane Holloway of Alturas; son Kelly and wife Lori Holloway of Alturas, daughter Dixie Rager and husband Ron of Eugene, OR and daughter Nancy Richardson of Alturas. His grandchildren are Cody Holloway, Jeanne Goodyear and husband John "J.P.", Barry Rager, Brandee Capaci and husband Mike, Niki Collier, Rochelle Richardson, Tacie Richardson, Sandi Lynch and husband Andrew, Courtney Holloway, D.J. Holloway and wife Katie, Erin Hikes and husband David; great-grandchildren Katelyn Goodyear, Chelsea Rager, Haley Rager, Zoey and Drew Lynch, Madison and Kailee Hikes and numerous nieces and nephews and extended family. He was preceded in death by infant daughter Virginia Lynn, youngest son Chuck, great-grandson Kyle Capaci, brothers Theron, Ralph, Ray and Adrian and nephews Leon and David Holloway.

We think its unique but some have informed us that the belles’ should precede the yells….With the invention of the writing machine, some new words are being developed. A typer is a man who writes on this machine and a typess, a girl or woman who writes on the machine…. Three fishermen returning from Lassen Creek this week with over 100 pounds of trout….During the repairs going on at he Courthouse an air hole has been constructed in the ceiling of the courtroom to offset Court Reporter Wormley’s objection to having the windows and doors of said courtroom open during a session of the court. 93 Years Ago – 1914 RENSHAW AND Close have received their carload of new 1914 Overland automobiles. They have attracted much attention and admiration from all beholders…. R.R. Baker has consummated one of the the largest land sales in many years hereabouts. It involves the acquisition of the Bucher Stock Company by George R. Parman for a consideration o about $50,000….The board of supervisors announced they would re-advertise for bidders to construct the new courthouse. Six bidders all went over the $84,000 allowed for the building and ranged from a low of $87,000 by C.G. Selman of Reno to a high of $129,000….there is an epidemic of small pox in Cedarville. Dr. Coppedge has quarantined all the homes that have the disease and most of the school children have been vaccinate. 73 Years Ago – 1934 THE NATIVE Daughters are sponsoring a contest among school children asking an essay on “What will the world be like in 30 years (1964)….The Roundup Association has purchased the Sweeney Hall and will move it to the rodeo grounds for use as a dance pavilion….Brewster Ebbe pulled a big upset in the grammar school track meet when he beat out Don and Warren Flournoy in the pole vault with a leap of 9‘….assessor John Davis has been traveling about the country lately and says that while everything is green and beautiful today, the drought is bound to have a telling effect before long and it looks like a hot summer. 53 Years Ago – 1954 NEAL PHILLLIPS and Rex Riley have been elected to the Alturas City Council.

The Summer Recreation program in Alturas figures to be eliminated this year because the school district has withdrawn financial support due to its own lack of funds. Brewster Ebbe was a short but very powerfully built man. He was a star in high school football. His younger brother, Junior Ebbe, was killed in the Philippines when his airplane crashed. Brewster had a coupe of days R & R in the Philippines and came to visit me. I was dramatically surprised that he came and was really tickled to see someone from my home town. He had to travel over 60 miles to find our own rest camp at Lipa, Luzon Island. Unfortunately, he is now deceased too. Ron Morgan

Thank you Joan for the information. I merely copy that which is published in the Modoc County record. I too have found many that were misspelled or that were completely wrong.
