Brookings Harbor Pilot THURSDAY, OCT. 22,. 1953 3 n—■ Pointers Given On —7 7-TV ; Stray Animal Law Historical Notes On Curry County; Beginning w ith this issue there will be run, from tim e to tim e, random notes on the history of C urry County from the accum u lation of M. S. Brainard. They have been gathered from m any sources "fo r some 20 y e a ts and have been keyed so their origin can be traced. B rainard’s collec tion of data, system atically a r ranged, is willed to the Oregon Historical Society. He welcomes any additional m aterial, in any form, either on loan or otherw ise. From the field notes, survey of Daniel and M. ,O’C. Murphy, 1857., Twp. 33, R.15W., "The town of Port Orford, county seat of C urry County, is situated near the northern boundary o f Sections 4 and 5. It contains about 28 houses and a population of about 18. There are four drygoods and grocery stores, one drug store, one hotel, one billiard saloon and post office, and one dram shop. The town has very little trade; being solely dependent upon the ‘gold mines, distant about 27 miles in a northeasterly direction. The l'_ S. Mail steam er touches here about semimonthly, for the mails, when th e . w eather Ms favorable. During the prevelence of - the south and southeast winds it can not stop. The U. S. M ilitary g ar rison adjoins the town on the northwest but is now abandoned.” The same surveyors, sam e year, write of the township roughly in cluded between the Geisel Monu ment, mouth of Libby creek, Signal Butte, and the Gold Beach school, "There have been a num ber of settlers in this township previous to the Indian w ars but their habitations and improve ments have all been destroyed.” Subscribe to Harbor Pilot. the ■ - -7 7 ^ — : — — The^ Oregon sta te departm ent of a g ric u ltu re is calling atten tio n of property owners or operators th a t Oregon law establishes the m anner in which estray anim als shall be handled. W ithin five days of the appear ance of an estray, the departm ent m ust be notified in w riting, the notice to be sent to the h eadquar ters at Salem .'- The departm ent is charged w ith trying to estab lish identity, through its brand records, of anim als th a t have strayed. Failing this, the d e p a rt m ent publishes notice of the ta k ing of an estray and date and tim e for sale at public auction. R anchers or others taking up estrays have no legal authority to advertise this fact, but instead should notify the departm ent w ithin the five-day period. Also, some confusion exists as tc w hat an estray is. To quote the law, an estray is "any bovine anim al, horse or m ule of any un known owner unlaw fully running at large or law fully running at large trespassing w ithin a legal enclosure” , An anim al running at large is not legally an estray unless it is picked up in a live stock control district. And the law fu rth e r stipulates th at from April through November, no es tray may be taken up unless it is unlaw fully running at large. From a practical standpoint, then, w here there is a livestock control district any anim al of un known ownership is an estray any time. But w here th ere is no such control district, bnly from De cem ber through M arch may such an anim al be considered an estray.
