Clayton Motor company which
has been in operation at the
coiner of Main and Church since
May 1946 has leased the build­
ing at the corner lot to Busch
motors, effective January 1 ac­
cording to an announcem ent
made today by Clayton Cullen,
ow ner-m anager ol the Clayton
Motor company.
Cullen stated that he planned
to become associated with Cul­
len motors In Medford In their
truck division. Cullen has had
nine years of truck experience
with G reyhound and previous to
that was connected with various
trucking concerns in the Mid­
west.
Cullen made no statem ent
concerning the Kaisei -Fraz e r
franchise which the Clayton
in
Motor company has held
Ashland.
Jim
Busch, p ro p rie to r o f
Busch Motors, stated that he
planned to open a used car lot
and showroom in the location
and that tt would be in opera­
tion soon after the first of the
year.
Busch stated that his organi­
zation felt that the com m unity
needed an additional used auto
sales lot and that they would
try to fulfill the demand for
used cars.
Cullen also announces that an y ­
one desiring service on the m er­
chandise sold at his plant can
contact him at Cullen Motor Ser­

Old Dobbin Fast
Disappearing On
Farms in Oregon
Poor old Dobbin, much rever­
ed horse of fact, fiction and fan­
tasy, has really gone away to
stay and is aparently not going to
make a comeback in Oregon, re­
veals Berton E. Black, extension
statistician a t OSC.
During the past decade, the
num ber of horses and mules In
Oregon has declined 42 percent.
Black, in the agricultural econo­
mics extension departm ent, de­
clares in a new bulletin entitled,
"Oregon’s Specialty Animal In­
dustries, 1936 to 1946.” Most of
the equine anim als are found in
eastern Oregon counties w here a
m ajority of them are saddle
horses ifsed in the livestock in­
dustry. N um ber of horses and
mules totaled only 95,000 on J a n ­
uary 1, 1947, as compared with
165,000 in 1936. Light horses alone
are on the increase.
These statistics are in the new
booklet which includes data on
such Oregon speciality industries
as farm saired foul & game, goats
and m ohair, rabbits for meat,
apiary products and fish and sea
food in addition to some other
miscellaneous listings.
The volume of farm m arketings
for the entire group am ounted to
about $11,000,000 in 1943, the last
year that totals are available.
Mink and fox num bers declin­
ed during the period 1940 to 1945.
It is significant, however, that re­
ceipts from farm m arketing for
fox and mink furs and breeding
stock totaled $1,485,000 In 1945,
or 55 percent more than in 1942.
Income from the fishing industry
came to $7,781,000 from a catch
of 70,289,000 pounds In 1943 as
compared to a value of $1,995,000
from 57,741,000 pounds in 1936.
Copies of the bulletin, “O re­
gon’s Specialty Animal Indus­
tries, 1936 to 1946,” No. 679, may
be obtained through any county
agricultural agent.

Hi
A Visit From St Nicholas
By Clement C. Moore
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the
house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
I he stockings were hrfhg by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
And Mamma in her kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap—
When out on the lawn there rose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was the m atter. ,
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon, on the breast of the new-fallen snow',
Gave a luster of mid-day to objects below;
•
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear.
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
1 knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name:
"Now, Dasher; now', Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On! Comet, on! Cupid, on! Dunder and Blitzen—
To the top of the porch, to the top of the wall!
Now, dash away, dash away, dash away all!”
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,
So, up to the house-top the coursers they flew.
With a sleigh full of toys- -and St. Nicholas too.
And then in a twinglmg I heard on the roof,
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As 1 drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St, Nicholas came with a bound.
1 Ic was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back.
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.
His eyes how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His chocks were like roses, his nose like a cherry;
His drool little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow;
I he stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath.
He had a broad face, and a little round belly,
That shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly,
lie was chubby and plump— a right jolly old elf;
And 1 laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself.
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
1 Ic spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,«
And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.
H e sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle.
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle;
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
