It looked like just a workout for the Gastineau men in the first half and the Grizzlies led 13 to 5 at the end of the first period and were out in front 23 to 8 at the half In the third stanza the Cavemen turned on the heat and ended the quarter eight points behind, 30-22. Then in the fourth period the vis­ itors had the Ashland boosters on the edge of their seats as they crept to within four points of the Grizzlies, but a quick basket by Provost and another by Weaver put the Grizzlies in a safe mar­ gin.

Kone burg C-C HEADS ACT ON TRUCK BILL Favoring passage of senate bill No. 7 minus the proposed amend­ ments, directors of the Ashland chamber of commerce have wired Jackson county’s representatives at the state legislature to throw their support behind this action, following the regular board ses­ sion earlier this week. Under the terms of the propoqpd statute with its present amend­ ments. commercial truckers would be unable to use the Pacific high­ way from Eugene south, and also a portion of the Columbia gorge, it was stated. A number of truck­ ing concerns now using this route would be seriously handicapped if the proposals and its amend­ ments were passed .directors be­ lieve. The board also favored re-estab­ lishment of the former non-resi­ dent angler’s license fee. *1 for two days, and recommended that the balance of the schedule be pro­ portioned similar to the charges assessed in adjoining states, name­ ly Washington. California and Ida­ ho. County legislators also were informed of this action. Adoption of the proposed de­ partmental classification was de­ ferred until the new board has been inducted into office. Six new directors are to be selected, with nominations having already been completed. Final ballots are going to the chamber membership this week and will be counted within a short time. Administrative officers are to be re-elected for the coming fiscal year, prior to the end of this month. C. M. Utwiller, retiring president, has indicated that he will not seek another term.
