The report goes on to say tint the facili ties for sheep and swine were adequate for the tair bit with an increase of entries these facilities will fall short of ad equate. Parking facilities need to be made l.irsrer and have ad ditional lighting. No mention was made in the report on the landscaping at the J-air Grounds but this is badly needed. If a com mittee could work out a master plan for the landscaping, each organization in town might take one section to deve lop and do something each year towards the beautification.

Sincerely, Sidney (). Ilowick Ni twork SiecUlist National Weather Service LKTTKR TO THF KDITOH: In the mail this last week, we received a "2ml Notice" from the Morrow County As sessor's office relative to fil ing the declaration of person al property owned hy my sons and nie. Inasmuch as this instrument is not required hy law to be filed until March 3rd, I find myself extremely angry that the County has paid mailing these forms as well as paying the cost of pre paring them and the materials used. I know of several ot hers at this writing who have received the same material through the mail with first class postage attached. If I can recall the cam paign promises of our elect ed officials, I believe they all agreed to conduct the bus iness of the County as ec onomically as possible. If this is an example of eco nomy as practiced by our of ficials, I feel that we, as taxpayers, should protest. Sincerely, Yes, the coyote and the magpie are good scav eugers, inaUv totigiHMt, the i!o"pafk 'em off alive" or slill .irm.

As to the warbles In cat ties' lucks they can easily le infected when bruised and make hide of little value which is bad for the producer. Most good stock raisers would agree that spraying their cattle In the fall at the proper tune, following closely the recommended procedure, would soon com pletely eradicate the heel fly, which d.t'S not fly any great distance. This would I one less exense for the producer and feeder, which cost-wise would In1 handed on down to the consumer. We all have our opinions good and hid, and are guilty of blaming the wrong things, persons, or animals at the wrong time. I have much admiration for anyone ex pressing his opinion though it might not agree with mine but am open to weigh the mat ter. W hat a better world this could be if we could all act according to the master plan and do unto others as you would like them to do untc you. So I guss I'd better close if I carry out this thought.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR I am sure that the U.S. Navy will re-examine its stand on the Boardman Bomb ing Range ir. re!a:ion to the building of a nuclear gener ation dant This situation is unlike the previous situa tion when an effort was made to move the Bombing Range. The previous situation was a speculate situation while to day's situation is a positive situation--and the Navy or the U.S. ArmyoftheUnitedStates itself cannot stand in the way of total development of a na tural resource as big as the Columbia River and its con tributing frontage areas. W.W. WEATHERFORE James Eskelson Buried in Salem Mrs, Cleo Van Winkle and her son Jack motored to Salem March 1 for the mem orial services for James E. Eskelson, brother of Mrs. Van Winkle, Mr, EskelsoP was born at Lexington, July 11, 1900, and passed away in Salem, Feb. 23, 1972. Ser vices were held at the Vir gil T. Golden Chapel with internment at ttie Bellcrest Park Cemetery. He lived a good part of his life in Lexington where he was a farmer. Left to mourn his passing are sister Mrs. R.E. (Kathryn) Daniels, Mrs. R.B. (Josie) Fredrickson, both of Salem; Mrs. R.B. WilcoxfEth el), Portland; Mrs. Cleo Van Winkle, Lexington, anda brot her Earl Eskelson, Hermis ton. He was preceeded in death by one brother Orville, and two sisters, Rose R. Es kelson and Mrs. Lawrence (Nellie) Palmer of Lexington. This letter is written par tially in rebuttal to Ben Cox's letter to the Editor in last week's paper, on the subject of the better side of the coyote; merely for the plea sure of expressing my opi nion only. While I do not agree that the coyote is totally good or bad, I feel that nature's balance has perhaps been thwarted by the hand of man. Rabbits are now scarce where we live and squirrels are too plentiful for a few short months while they are out of hibernation, doing their thing. This also means the coyotes have to exist on other food at times. I have seen with my own eyes, the near killing of one calf, which I prevented leav ing it crippled. Evidence strongly pointed toothersuch cases and I know others who have witnessed similar ex periences. I have also seen them chase young deer. If Ben w ould come out some evening particularly in winter months, he could pleasure to their tune. While they might lull us to sleep our dog doth protest and con sequently gets V.I. P. ac commodations in our base ment. Too, where we were camped for deer hunting last fall in the mountains, the coyotes sounded like they had us surrounded. As I have teenagers, I feel that the subject of hippies too de batable, but these long-nosed, shaggy haired creatures do carry their own amplifiers, and at my age, I'll settle for country and western mu- "If it is the right for the thresher to say what he v. Ill charge for threshing the far mer's wheat, it is right for wrmer to say what he will charge for his wheat. II is at least not equity for the farmer both to buy and sell at prices made by others. II we admit tliat it is right for those who sell to the farmer to fix the prices at which they sell, and we don't dispute it, we must also admit that it is right for the farmers to fix the prices at which others shall buy from him. But really it is not a question of right at all-it is a ques tion of power. If the farmer is to free himself from the compulsion to which he is now subjected, he must do so by his own act. And it is better so. A prosperity won by one's own effort is bet ter and more securely based than that created and guar anteed by government. The solution of the problem is not to be found in Washington, but on the farms. There Is no need to ask for favors. The politicians can notgreat ly help, and we don't propose to call on them. The farm ers organized, and pricing their products, will be so strong in the control of the food and clothing of the world, which the other people must have, that they can put any price on them that they want to. Thus they can meet prices, expenses, and taxes, imposed by others. The farm ers organized, don't need to care whether there is politics or not, nor how much they are taxed only in so far as they may be interested in an other class-the consumers. Nothing should be asked of the politicians except treat ment tliat will make it pos sible to deal equitably with others." J.A. Everitt, in The Third Power Published in 1903 Gene Logan 3.
