Mail Tribune 100, Oct. 5, 1922 By Alissa Corman Oct 05, 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 Oct. 5, 1922 16 INCHES SNOW AT CRATER LAKE Ulen Hillis, who has been employed on government work at Crater Lake, returned home last night. Fifteen other employees also quit work for the season, caused by the storm. There was 16 inches of snow at Crater Lake when he left and it was still snowing. There was also several inches of snow at the government camp and it was snowing as far this way as White Horse creek. He says work on the lodge has ceased. APPLE SHOW TO OPEN NOVEMBER 4, RULES GIVEN OUT The committee in charge of the 1922 Apple Show met at the office of the Medford Chamber or Commerce yesterday afternoon and decided that the same classifications of exhibits shall prevail as were used last year. This calls for the displays of all the different varieties on plates of five apples each, single one layer boxes and three box entries of more than two varieties. Box entries are all of the single layer type and boxes may be secured at the office of the chamber of commerce. The committee has started to solicit premiums from merchants, banks and fruit distributors with the greatest enthusiasm because they believe that every one realizes the value of the apple show to the Rogue River valley. To make this work lighter for those who are attending to this, they ask that business men send in the premiums they desire to offer. These should be in the form of cash, merchandise, in trade or any particular article the merchants wish to offer for the success of this show. The opening day of the 1922 Apple Show will be on November 4th and all entries must be in before six o’clock on the third to permit the judging and awarding of premiums before the show is opened to the general public. LOCAL AND PERSONAL Two homes of the city were quarantined with scarlet fever signs today by Chief of Police Timothy. These two contagious disease signs are the first that have been placed in Medford since last spring when a few chicken pox signs were put up, as the general health of the city has been and is excellent. ----- The attendance at the city auto camp is showing the effects of the rainy weather being about 30 percent of the normal attendance of the summer months. Yesterday only 10 cars and thirty-five people stopped at the camp, while today 11 cars and twenty-six people were accommodated. — Alissa Corman; [email protected]
