114 Years of Uninterrupted Mail Service to the Upriver Area! ne of the oldest and most Opopular traditions on the Oregon Coast began in 1895 on the Rogue River. It was born humbly, arising out of the need of remote settlers and miners living in the vast wilderness of the Rogue River Canyon to communicate with the outside world, to send and receive let- ters and packages to and from distant relatives, to stay associ- ated with friends far away. From this need to com- municate, intensified by isola- tion, evolved a tenacious hu- man enterprise, struggling to overcome forces of nature in a whitewater world. The history of that achievement is a chron- icle of dedication and vision of heroism, punctuated by trag- edy, accented with humor. It is a tradition that has endured and grown into one of the most unique and famous visitor at- tractions in the West. The celebration of a centen- nial is a goal sought by many companies, a rare landmark reached by few. The Rogue River Mail Boat Trips is proud to have accomplished this goal in 1995, having provided 100-years of continuous postal service on the Rogue River between the Gold Beach-Wedderburn and Agness post offices.

He used to col- lect empty bottles and cans, would go to all the public functions, especially the picture houses and he always carried an empty bag for the bottles and cans. His name was Albert (Tapper) Torney. Ev- eryone thought he was a bit eccentric and the kids would ease and hassle him. He sold the empty bottles for money and but kept all the empty cans and unknown to everybody in the city, he had a very unusual talent. After he died in 1998 aged 86, his large collection of model cars which he made from the aluminium cans was discovered. This just goes to prove the saying ... “You Shouldn’t Judge A Book by its Cover”. Seen here is just a very small sample of his collection:
