Agreement on
Dispute Sought
Oregon CltyW) A proposal
designed to end the dispute
over O Sc . C lands will be dis
cussed at a meeting of county
officials here Friday .
Carl Holl, Douglas County
Judge and president of the
Association of O & C counties,
called the meeting to try to
get agreement on the propos
al, which then would be sub
mitted to the federal govern
ment. It calls for the O It C lands
to go to the Forest Service,
providing revenues from the
lands distributed on the O ti
C formula. The Forest Service
and the Bureau of Land Man
agement would be given three
years in which to exchange
lands to end intermingling of
holdings. The BLM now ad
ministers the O tc C lands.
The dispute has been over
about six million dollars of
O Ic C revenue that has not
been paid to the counties. The
federal government held back
payment because of a move
in Congress to cut down the
eo untie' share.
The O & C land cover about
150,000 acreas in Klamath
County and the counties of
Western Oregon.

Watertown, N. Y. Honors Man
Who Put Bounce in Bed Springs
Watertown, N.Y. W The
town bounced out of bed to
honor the man who put the
spring In the bounce.
One hundred years ago,
James E. Llddy of Watertown
conceived of the bedspring,
bless him.
The idea was a natural for
Llddy, who worked for a car
riage maker. One Saturday in
1853, Llddy waited and wait
ed in his buggy while his wife
shopped. As it comes to all
men, impatience came to Lld
dy. He Jiggled up and down
on the buggy seat.
1 Then and there, he realized
buggy springs could add to the
comfor of beds as welh
Llddy died without realizing
any profits beyond that com
fort, however. He didn't have
the money to set up a business
and others used his idea. -
Miss Margaret Liddy, who
remembers her Inventive
grandfather as a kind man
with a long white beard, was
invited to be guest of honor at
a centennial luncheon Monday.
A miniature replica of the
first bedspring was produced
for presentation at the lunch
eon to the Jefferson County
Historical Society by Edward
L. Bronsteln, president of the
National Association of Bed'
ding Manufacturers. The as-
sociation sponsored the cele
bration.
And the Watertown barber
shop quartet chimed in with a
song written for the occasion
by J. Paul Fanning.
Here s how it goes:
"Seated in his buggy, flick-
in off the flies,
Waitin for his m Issues shop
: ping for supplies,
Wistfully James Liddy, in a
reverie,
Contemplated problems of
resiliency;
Shuddered at the specter of
that tangled web of ropes
Saggln neath his mattress In
perpetuated slopes
Suddenly he saw it, why of
all the simple things,
Under-prop the' mattresses
with carriage springs . . . "

Zellerbach's
Loses Tax Fight
Olympla W Washington
won a superior court battle
Monday to retain $235,676 in
business and occupation taxes
collected from the Crown
Zellerback Corp.
The firm had sued to re
cover the money, which was
collected on the basis of pro
ducts extracted and manufac
tured in Washington and sold
in Interstate commerce at
wholesale to customers out
side the state.
The corporation challenged
the constitutionality of the B
and O tax law, contending it
discriminated against inter
state commerce.
In his memo opinion Judge
Raymond W. Clifford denied
the contentions and said the
state had the right to tax the
corporation as a manufacturer
in as much as the company
had not been taxed as a re
tailer or wholesaler in this
same Instance.

Better Rural
Mailboxes
Week's Goal
' Better rural mailboxes for
Marion county Is a com
munity goal for the week,
April 12-18, according to Ben
Newell, county agent Farm
families throughout the na
tion will join that week in
the fifteenth anniversary of
the rural mailbox improve
ment campaign.
Cooperating with the Post
Office department in the
campaign are newspapers
and farm journals, youth
groups, rural organizations,
civic leaders, and the agricul
tural extension service.
Rural mailboxes are indi
vidually owned and main
tained and their appearance
is a matter of both personal
and civic pride, observed the
county agent. Although It is
not required that mailboxes
and their supports be paint
ed, it is the desire of the Post
Oltice that they be painted
white, preferably, or alumi
num. The owner siiould place
his name In neat black let
ters about one inch high on
the side of the box that is
visible to the carrier as he
approaches it. Where boxes
are grouped closely togeth
er, the name should be let
tered on the door.
NeweU said it helps the
rural carrier if neighbors
group boxes together when
ever possible, especially at
or near crossroads or other
