A carburetor malfunction was the apparent cause of
a fire on Westside Road that severely damaged a
1976 Chevy pickup truck and sparked a small
brush fire on Westside Road Tuesday morning, July
29. Vehicle owner Bill Miller, who was on his drive-
way, said that the engine ‘coughed’ and then
erupted in flames. He has owned the pickup since it
was new. Oregon Dept. of Forestry and Illinois Val-
ley Fire District (IVFD) responded. (Photo by Dale &

Solar- and horse-power among resourceful, energy-saving efforts
By LINDA
COREY-WOODWARD
For IVN
Parking your car and
walking or using a bicycle are
among ways to reduce gaso-
line expenses.
Some valley horse-
owners are considering riding
or driving a horse cart to town
to run errands. If this be-
comes popular, hitching rails
will need to be installed in
Cave Junction and other Illi-
nois Valley communities. It
would certainly reduce gaso-
line consumption and make
our community quieter and a
lot more interesting.
Those with other energy-
saving and money-saving tips
to share can write to Illinois

their limited incomes and are
finding ways to economize
further.
“The folks at my place
have installed fluorescent
lamps in all fixtures in com-
mon areas,” said one man. “I
have done the same in my
apartment. With my encour-
agement, they started using
xeriscaping techniques that
allow minimum water needs.
I also suggested installing
solar water heating panels on
the building roof tops.”
There are many ways to
save money and reduce en-
ergy use. In older homes, the
water heater is in the garage
or utility room, and the main
bathroom is on the other side
of the house. Before hot wa-
ter reaches the shower, much
water is wasted.
One installed a hot water
recirculating system. This
provides hot water to faucets
24 hours a day and can save
as much as 10,000 gallons of
water per year. No more
waiting patiently for several
minutes for hot water to ar-
rive in the shower.
