THRILLING BUTTE FALLS WIN IS CLIMAX TO CLASS ‘B’ TOURNEY rpHE Butte Falls Loggers, coach- A ed by Ken Schilling, former Ashland high school and Southern Oregon College of Education ath letic star, won the 13th annual SOCE invitational class B basket ball tournament here Saturday evening when they turned back the Central Point Pointers 17 to 16 tn a thrill-packed game in the local college gym. The Loggers will represent district 14 in the state tournament in Salem March 13. 14, 15 and 16. Central Point led most of the way and held a 11 to 7 advant age at the end of the first half. It was not until the final period that Leland Ellis could connect with two shots to give his team the lead for the first time in the game, 15 to 14. Eddie Ellis came up with a nice toss to make it 17 to 14 and then Central Point sunk one just before the gun sounded. As the game ended, however. Cen tral Point had possession of the ball and was driving for a win ning basket under their own hoop. Chiloquin's Panthers trimmed Keno 40 to 22 for third place in the championship flight. Keno des perately tried to make a game of It but their Klamath county broth ers were too much for them. Huff of the Panthers took high scoring honors with 16 points Coos River copped fifth place 28 to 24 when they eked out St. Mary's of Medford, forced to play without the services of Johnny Jensen who was out because of illness.

C March 7— Notwithstanding that the con gress is retarding development of Bonneville power system and s'ow- ing down the work being rushed on Grand Coulee, nothing can stop the development of Washington and Oregon through these pro jects. Congress is not as enthus iastic for government ownership as it was and looks at Bonneville with a cold eye. Congress is pe culiar. When the late J. D. Ross was administrator he was given all the money he requested by telling the lawmakers that he had applications for every kilowatt. Now when Administrator Raver actually is selling power and be lieves a start should be made to have the full generating capacity installed, congress refuses even the foundation for the remaining units and slashes the budget for transmission lines. One reason for the change of attitude is resent ment of congressmen at the ac tivity of men on Bonneville pay roll in promoting public utility districts. t < ——— 1 TN their first March meeting, held Tuesday night, city councilmen studied the Ashland golf course situation, an optimistic report of future plans of the Flurry Lum ber company by J. E. Flurry, and heard a letter by Mayor T. S. Wiley to the highway commission urging elimination of the plaza highway curve. Flurry, owner and operator of a mill on city property east of Ashland, asked that the council consider extending the mill grounds, as insurance rates re quire a distance of 200 feet be tween the lumber pile and mill and with his present rate of lum ber stocking the yard probably will be crowded within a few weeks. Flurry poir’ed out the possi bility of operation of a plant of 100,000 board feet daily in Ash land if market prices take an in crease which he optimistically hopes for. Flurry also asked for a more adequate water supply at the mill and his request was referred to the water committee, which will con fer with city officials and Bell view water system heads to meet requirements of pressure and quantity. City Supt. Elmer Biegel and Street Supt. Frank Davis advised a permanent stone bridge to be built at the foot of Mountain ave nue to replace a wooden struc ture washed out by recent floods. Biegel also told the council that a dozen men are being employed in the watershed canyon repair ing roads damaged by recent high water. Mayor Wiley’s letter, asking the state highway commission to straighten the plaza curve here, was read and a copy sent to the Pacific Highway association. A petition for curbs and gutters on Nob hill between High street and Scenic drive was approved and a $300 allowance was made for upkeep of the Siskiyou boule vard lawn and other small city parks during the coming season Councilmen heard a plan for the city to back the Ashland golf course, as presented by Ralph Koozer, spokesman for a group which recently met to discuss fi nancial problems of the golf course. T«o building permits approved included one for a $200 remodeling job at the Siskiyou boulevard property owned by Nellie Dickey, and for a $1500 residence on Wightman street for John Hoce- var. —----------•------------- SOUTHERN PACIFIC TRAINS RESUME REGULAR SERVICE The Southern Pacific rail lines on the Sacramento division, serv ing Ashland, were cleared to traf fic Monday night after having been closed for several days be cause of flood conditions and slides between Dunsmuir and Gerber, Calif. Passengers and first-class mail had been transferred around the flood area by bus. ------------ •------------- SEEN IN A DAZE 1 Because of the millions already invested in Grand Coulee, congress cannot afford to discontinue that project before it is ready to irri gate more than one million acres. But there is a sentiment in con gress that Grand Coulee need not be expedited. Taken together, these projects will gradually and eventually change the economic conditions (Continued on page 4) Alpha Celebration Draws 300 Guests The Alpha chapter No. 1 of the Order of Eastern Star Tuesday night was host at its 60th anni versary celebration to 300 mem bers representing 10 chapters of southern Oregon and northern California.
