Mail Tribune 100, July 21, 1922 By Alissa Corman Jul 21, 2022 12:00 AM A A News from 100 years ago The following news items were drawn from the archives of the Mail Tribune 100 years ago July 21, 1922 UNUSUAL NATURE FILM AT PAGE When “The Four Seasons” played a recent pre-release engagement at the Rialto theatre, New York, it excited more attention from educators and children than any motion picture that was ever shown on Broadway. It is a year’s biography of nature; it enables audiences to live a year in an hour and for sheer beauty as well as instructional value it probably has never been surpassed. It is a cycle of the seasons taken under the personal direction of Raymond L. Ditmars, Curator of the New York Zoological society, and edited under the personal supervision of Charles Urban, president of the Kineto company of America. PUT VALLEY RADIO IN AT CENTRAL POINT W. J. Virgin of Central Point is installing a radio transmitting set and will broadcast market and news reports furnished by The Mail Tribune. He will start with a 5-watt station, but a 50-watt transmitter will be installed as soon as possible. The reports will be able to be heard with suitable receiving apparatus all over southern Oregon. It is expected that the set will be in operation within the next three weeks. Mr. Virgin is doing the work himself and has bought the apparatus. Concerts will be broadcasted in addition to the news and market reports from The Mail Tribune. LOCAL BRIEFS Pat Daily is constructing himself a cabin at Woodruff Meadows and will use it as a base of operations for his policing activities. A number of building permits have been issued by the local forest service headquarters for summer homes on Union Creek. Among those who have had permits issued are Postmaster W. J. Warner, Olen Arnspiger, Howard Hull and Dr. P. E. Green. LOCAL AND PERSONAL A permit from a forest ranger of other federal forest official will be required by any person building a campfire within the boundaries of any national forest within the state of Oregon until the fire situation is improved according to word received at the local forest service headquarters yesterday. The order was contained in a wire from the forest service headquarters in Washington, D. C. Infractions of the ruling it was said, will incur fines or imprisonment or both. Due to the large number of local people going camping at the present time and the large number camping all over the state this order has become necessary. — Alissa Corman; [email protected]
