$163,001 IN YEAR AS RALLYING DAY
J Jackson county' share of the
total receipts from the O. St C.
; revested lands for the past fiscal
year which ended June 30, 1944,
will be $163,004.06, according to
Floyd W. Scott, dis trict forester
In charge of the Medford dis
trict. This Bum was certified by the
general land office of the de
nnrtment of the interior on Aug
ust 21 for payment to Jackson
county In lieu of taxes under the
act of August 28, 1037. Last year
the amount received by Jackson
county in lieu of taxes on the
O. St C. lands was $125,799.20.
On the 2,500.000 acres of O. &
C. lands the counties suffer no
loss of tax Income because of
federal ownership.
Under the above law BO per
cent of the Income from the O.
& C. forest lands during each
fiscal year must be returned to
th ) 18 Oregon counties in which
the lands are located. Each coun
ty participates in direct propor
tion to its share of the total
assessed valuation of all O. fit C.
lands and receives its prorata
share regardless of whether any
timber 1 sold within Its borders
in any given year or not. This
plan of distribution helps to sta
bilize revenues for all 18 counties.
Revenues received by each
county from O. fit C. lands in
lieu of taxes may be used for
roads, schools, or for any other
purpose for which county funds
may be spent.
County revenue from this
source has risen steadily year
by year since 1B38, when the O.
fie C. lands were placed under
sustained yield management by
the general land office. Timber
cutting on these lands proceeds
t a rate of approximately 900
million board feet annually,
which Is thoir estimated capacity
to grow new timber to replace
the old timber as fast as it is
used up. Under this plan of man
agement the O. fie C. lands pro
vide a permanent source of in
come and therefore they are a
part of the county tax base
which Is Insured against being
lost.
A community Invitation for
church mobilization purposes is
under way this week by the Med
ford Ministerial association
which has designated Sunday as
Rally Day in churches compos
ing the association. Effort of the

every family in the community

plained seeks to serve not only
the youth of '.he community but
the entire family, and the need
of Bible study as the greatest
source of character building, is
urged.

Ministerial association to be held

tional home for the Jews. An
other Item Is consideration of

ation members. '

TALKS 10 MIS
One of the main mysteries of
the present war to army engi
neers Is the fact that the Japa
nese failed to attempt destruc
tion of the Panama Canal at
the time of the attack on Pearl
Harbor, according to Major J. E,
Hughes of Ashland, who ad
dressed the Medford tCiwanis
club Wednesday noon. Major
Hughes, who served as an engi
neer during the canal construc
tion, stated that every detail
concerning the canal locks and
their operation was in the hands
of the Japanese long before the
opening of the war.
Site of the canal was chosen
from several, the engineer stat
ed, and the final decision was 1
influenced by Nlcaraguan post-!
age stamps which a congressman I
circulated among his friends at
the time the decision was pend
ing. Since the stamps pictured
a volrano, officials decided that
Nicaragua would be a poor place
for tha canal,
Quakes Harmless
Forty nine earthquakes oc
curred during construnion of
the canal, MaJ. Hughes stated,
but none caused any damage at
that time or since.
The canal could not be built
at sea level because of the dif
ference between Atlantic and
Pacific tides, MaJ Hughes de
clared Average trip through the
canal consumes eight huurs.
Water for the locks comes
from rivers In the district MaJ.
Hughes said, and is so precisely
controlled that an inch Is con
sidered maximum tolerance in
level.
The canal and locks are the
only dace In the world where
the master of a ship no longer is
In control, MaJ. Hughes de
clared The local operator uses
a mechanical contrivance made
up of miniature locks and minia
ture ships in guiding vessels
through the canal, he said. It oc
commodates all but ships of the
Queen Mary size according to
the major, and may be enlarged
after the war.
Of special Interest was the
major's statement that this coun
try does not own the (and on
which the canal was built, but ;
pays the government of Panama

Herb Launspach, membei of the

Marshall Field, editor and pub
