"Renshaw has delivered new Overland’s in Cedarville this week to Frank Stewart, Roy Baker and Wm. Heard." What are "Overland's"? Susan in Iowa ----- Original Message ----- From: Ronald S. Morgan<mailto:edron00@sbcglobal.net> To: camodoc@rootsweb.com<mailto:camodoc@rootsweb.com> Cc: Ernest Oswald<mailto:oscuts@aol.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2007 5:39 PM Subject: [CAMODOC] Looking Back Wednesday, May 23, 2007 “Looking Back” is a regular feature of the Modoc County record, published weekly in Alturas, California. The following is transcribed from the May 17, 2007 issue. Looking Back 113 Years Ago – 1894 ALTURAS WON’T have a 4th of July celebration here this year. There is a very disappointing apathy among townsfolk to get something going in this direction. Most Alturas folks will have to go to Lakeview to do their celebrating at that time…. Pete Ivory has a family of young lynxes the mother of which he killed. He will raise them until they are a couple of months old and then dispose of them for the bounty, which should yield him $2.50….Considerable grain is reported growing around goose Lake to a height of 12 inches…. John Flournoy and Geo. Williams from Likely report that it is nothing uncommon to see three or four teamsters a day stuck in the mud there. 93 Years Ago – 1914 THE STATE Railway Commission has ordered, on petition from people in Alturas, that a depot for passengers be established on the north side of Modoc street where the railroad intersects…. James T. Negley has resigned as manager of the Alturas Tigers and R.R. Rice has taken the job.... Last Sunday the team journeyed to Canby in the Rice and Crisler Hotel bus where they won over Canby 8 to 4…. The Board of Supervisors has at last awarded a bid for the construction of the new courthouse in Alturas. It will go to W.N. Concannon Co., of San Francisco for a general bid of $81,444. The contractor promises completion before snow flies. The style will be reinforced concrete with marble pillars….Renshaw has delivered new Overland’s in Cedarville this week to Frank Stewart, Roy Baker and Wm. Heard. 73 Years Ago – 1934 THE GRAMMAR School Board has named the following teachers for hiring this fall: Leon Johnson-Principal, Catherine Gloster, Dorothy Gloster, Mary Mullins, Evelyn Milligan, Ella Gloster, Edith Armor, Harold Want, Edson Caldwell and Leon B. Lewis-Music Instructor…. Hart’s Five and Ten Cents Store has opened for business in Alturas…. The earliest resident of Alturas, A. L. Smith is dead at the age of 95…. In seventh Grade elections this week John Weber was elected class president, John Kelly – Hall monitor, and Robert Ehrman -class reporter…. Temperatures soared close to the 90 mark all week in Alturas….Jesse Hughes of Romero Lodge will give a dance at that place Saturday that will feature music of the “Happy Five” and all the “Old Time” dances…. State quarantine stations will be manned at Eagleville, State Line and Cedarville this week. 53 Years Ago – 1954 WHITE Pine Lumber Company has denied rumors that its owner, Sam Jaksick, is near death. Rather, he is conducting business as usual from his hospital bed in Reno…. Employees at White Pine will vote this week on whether they will go out on strike or not….Floyd Porter has purchased The Alturas Tire Shop from Arthur Carlsberg….Postmaster Nolan Smith says that “chain letters” are swamping the local post office. He has reminded that chain letters are illegal and when such letters are suspected they will be withdrawn from boxes…. Pete Sanford, Vern Regier and Bob Foote socked homeruns Sunday to lead the Alturas Tigers to their fourth consecutive win. A quick story about Edson Caldwell, in the 1934 teacher section: I was in a class at Sacramento State College concerning counseling. This was in the mid 50’s. The professor was telling about strange things that have happen in classrooms. He asked if anybody wished to share. I told of the time when I was in Grammar school and an Indian girl name Enid Peaty was tattooing her arm with the ink pens and ink that were at every desk, with the concomitant blood flow.. The professor stared at me and said you must be Ronnie Morgan from Alturas. I replied yes. I was astounded at his knowledge. He then told the class about living across the street from me in Alturas while he taught at The Alturas Grammar School. We renewed our friendship and a few years later collaborated on a manual that was used in his counseling classes until he passed away. Hope to see you all again next week.
