MT. ANGEL City Marshal Ed
Korte turned in his resignation
to the city council Monday night,
Mayor Jacob Berchtold, in accept
ing it, thanked Korte for his faith,
ful service of four years and said
he had found him to be the best
marshal Mt. Angel had during
the 16 years he served as mayor.
The mayor added that Korte had
also rendered countless extra
services for the city for which
he never asked pay.
The city is considering a num
ber of contacts for a successor
to Korte. Assistant Marshal Je
Faulhaber will handle the job un
til someone is hired.
Joe Wagner was strong in praise
for the cooperation given him and
his assistant, A. A. Ebner, in
planting curb trees in Mt. Angel.
He stated 119 trees were planted
on the following streets. Otto,
Garfield, Sheridan, North- and
South Oak and May. Trees plant
ed included Chinese elm, birch,
flowering quince, flowering cher
ry, hawthorne, and red oak.
Trees Planted
Trees were supplied by the Ber
nard Schiedler nursery and plant
ed with donated labor by Carl
Mucken, Gene Hof fer, Joe Michels,
Jim Ebner, J. L. Wachter, and Bill
Meissner. There is still time for
planting if more citizens would
like to join the home-owners who
are taking part in the town
beautifying project.
It is the hope of the two-man
committee that at least 100 trees
will be planted each year until
every street is tree-lined.
The public safety committee re
ported the city jail has been given
a general cleaning and that new
beds were being considered. A
motion was caried empowering
them to purchase two beds. Fire
Chief Francis Schmidt reported
a month of no fire losses.
A letter from the Marion Coun
ty director of civil defense in
formed the council that Mt. An
gel was assessed $138 as its part
in shouldering the cost of the de
fense program.
Water Commissioner Joe Hass
ler stated water main prices and
was instructed to proceed with
the purchase and laying of six
inch main CO 500 feet of Leo
Street or M far south as the
Wert residence. Lack of funds
prevented the installation for the

TALBOT A Talbot mint farmer
is at bat for tho American Red
Cross this month.
And when Red Cross leaders
tapped Delmer A. Davidson for
the job, they must have been
thinking of that old expression "if
you want to get a job done, ask a
busy man to do it."
Davidson is the kind of man
who is "into everything." And
enthusiastic about everything he's
into. His pale, blue eyes sparkle
when he talks about his 125-acre
mint farm at Talbot. ("Wouldn't
trade it for any other kind of
farming.")
He's Enthusiaatie
He's enthusiastic about the Jef
ferson company of the Sheriffs
Reserve to which he belongs. And
the new Jefferson consolidated
high school, now under construc
tion. He's on the school board.
Davidson also is active in the
Red Cross disaster committee. He
has headed various fund drives at
Talbot.
But his present capacity with
the Red Cross tops 'em all. He
heads the organization's rural drive
in Marion County. His big terri
tory includes all of the county but
side of Salem, Silverton, Wood
burn, Stayton and Mt. Angel.
For the past month he has spent
the bulk of his time lining up an
organization in his big territory
and writing letters to various or
ganizations. This month he'll trouble-shoot
the areas where returns are slow.
Davidson said he would like to
explode the canard that volunteer
Red Cross workers receive pay. He
reminded that all workers in the
current drive will receive nothing
for their time.
Davidson likes to remind people,
too, that this area is one of the
top mint-producing spots in the
United States. He estimated the
Jefferson-Talbot area to have
about 5,000 acres of mint. The mint
farmers distill their own crop and
sell the oil at $6.50 to $6.90 a
pound (currently) to brokers who
in turn sell it to Wrigley, Beech
nut and other leading users of the
product.
Just one pound of peppermint
oil is enough to flavor 300 pound
of chewing gum.
Native of Buena Vista
A native of the Buena Vista dis
trict in Polk County, Davidson
moved to Talbot some 10 years
ago and sort of eased into "mint
farming.
Originally, beans and dairy
farming were the big thing on the
Davidson farm here. Like a lot of
farmers, he once had "15 or 20"
cows and now has "two for the
family."
"Times are surely changing,"
this modern-day farmer reflected,
"125 acres, and we don't even
have a horse any more."

SILVERTON R. A. Fish and
George Wiesner, both former city
councilmen, were appointed for
three-year terms on the city budget
committee, by members of the
council Monday night. They re
place E. J. Adams and Elmer John
son, whose terms expire and both
of whom are now on the local
planning commission.
Carey Moore was appointed to
fill the unexpired term of Robert
Webb or the budget committee.
Webb, whose term expires on July
1, 1952, has moved to Portland.
Two other terms will expire next
July, those of Max Hubbs and
George Chris tenson. Terms of
Lloyd Larsen and L. F. Tucker
will expire on July 1, 1953.
Mayor Errol Ross asked C. A.
Hande and C. B. Anderson, both
council members, to assist R. E.
Borland, city manager, in making
the preliminary budget.
. Reports at the Monday night
meeting showed that 1951 water
main installations amounted to
$10,800 with mains laid on South
First, Fosholm Road, Short, Wil
son, North Second and D and
Maple Avenue.
The group favored placing the
municipal judge's pay on a flat
$30 a month salary instead of on
the fee basis now used. Fees will
still be continued but these will go
into the city treasurer. Kenneth
Brown is serving as municipal
judge now.
Protection Asked
N. Nyhus and V. J. Rydell of the
Silverton Sanitary Service, ap
peared before the council to ask
for protection through a franchise
somewhat on the same basis as
Newberg. The two men brought
along a copy of the Newlserg gar
bage disposal ordinance to illus
trate their desire. The council took
this under advisement with the
city attorney, Rex Albright, in
structed to prepare a suitable or
dinance. Councilmen favored a
franchise with, an appropriate fee,
but were opposed to an exclusive
right to operate within the city.
Earl Hartman Company was
awarded the bid on furnishing the
city water department a new pick
up truck. Bids were received also
from the Anderson Motors, Kilham
Smith, Woodburn, represented by
Elmer Rhyne, Silverton. Net prices
of the bids to the city were Ander
son $1,032; Kalham, $964 and Hart
man $895.
The gasoline bid went to Shell
Oil, which Mayor Errol Ross repre
sented. Standard and Valley Far
mers each offered supreme at
$0.23 and regular at .217. Shell
Oil's bid was .231 and .211. All
bids were in 400 gallon quantities.

MEHAMA People sometimes complain of the price of lumber,
but they are. not always aware of the expense entailed to produce it.
That's what loggers in the North Santiam country will tell you, any
way. .
For example, several yarders are being constructed in this area
during the current winter slack season. Most of them have 150-horse-power
diesel motors that cost about $20,000. The motors are anchored
on sleds which must be made by hand at a cost of. approximately
$1,000.
The sleds are built from logs and crosspieces fastened by bolts
and huge washers. The washers used weigh between four and five
pounds apiece.
