Development Project In Statement
Eagle Point, Jan. 19 Argu
ments concerning the proposed
development of the Rogue basin,
under the bureau of reclama
tion's "Plan A" continue to be
heard in this area, which would
be considerably affected by the
construction of the dams and ir
rigation waterways provided for
under the proposal.
Latest to make public his
views on the matter is C. R.
Broughton, route 1, box 258,
Eagle Point, who said today that
"I, like many of my neighbors,
am 109 per cent for the reclama
tion's Rogue river basin pro
gram, and especially the Lewis
creek dam project.
Broughton continued:
"I have been for a number of
years a resident of the upper
Rogue river valley, owning river
frontage property one mile be
low Shady Cove, known as
'Broughton's Park on the Rogue,'
where I reside. I, li'-.e many of
my neighbors, am 100 per cent
for reclamation's Rogue basin
Erogram, and especially the
ewis creek dam pioject.
"In the first place I want to
see a flood control program to
protect my property against
flood. I have seen great damage
to my own and my neighbors'
property, fine land and beautiful
trees (including 200 feet of beau
tiful trees from my very own
beach) washed out and down the
river. One neighbor south of me
lost fine garden soil, a building,
beautiful trees and his tractor to
this old river in flood stage not
too long ago.
Stop Wait Water
"An other reason I am whole
heartedly supporting this fine
development is to see enough of
this wasting water, which runs
by my place daily, stored up in
the winter and released down
the river in the summer when
the salmon have such a hard time
getting over the shallow riffles
and shoals on their way up the
river from the ocean.
"At my own beach is a fine
salmon hole, one of the best in
this section, but many of these
salmon, after fighting their way
this far up, are bodily bruised
and scarred, weak and half
dead. Many of 4he tourists who
visit my place complain about
this and the generally poor fish
ing in the Rogue river. I say,
give us the dams and the fine
lakes behind them, stock them
properly along with the streams
and we will have a fisherman's
paradise, to say nothing of the
fine hunting and other recrea
tion they will furnish us, right
here at our door.
Many Com Her
"Many of my friends and
neighbors have come to this val
ley since I have lived here. I
have seen it grow, double and
multiply by leaps and bounds
people buying lots and acreage,
building such nice little homes
and stores and businesses. And
many more will come, and you
can't stop them. We can't tell
people they can't come here.
But what we can and must do is
to provide more irrigated acres
and farms from our fine soil,
much of which only awaits the
proper storing and distribution
of this wasting water to provide
a good livelihood for several

added prosperity and security

"And, with the added electric

Rogue River Club
Hears Report On
Projects Of City
Rogue River, Jan. 19 The
Women's Civic club held the first
meeting of the month on Janu
ary 13 at the club rooms, despite
the heavy snow storm that kept
many members from attending.
Mayor Fred Denglar addressed
the meeting on future projects
for the club and ways In which
it could work with the city gov
ernment in improving and beau
tifying the city. Mayor Denglar
gave a report of the excellent
progress made by the water de
partment and explained why in
stalling of water meters would
be beneficial to home owners
and that it would assure an even
pressure of water adequate for
fire fighting throughout the dry
summer months and would pro
vide a steady revenue for opera
tion of the city. It would also
help detect leaks and wasting of
water, he said, and thus be an
economy both to the city and the
taxpayers.
Building Must Wait
Questioned by a member of
the club regarding the proposed
bond issue to build a new school,
Mayor Dengler stated it was, in
his opinion, impossible to bond
for enough to build an entire
new school building, and there
fore the old building must be
used for a few years and new
units be built. But, he added, he
was opposed to building of the
new units on the west side of
the highway and for the coming
few years have a part of the
lower grade class rooms on one
side of the highway while the
gym in which pupils play during
the rainy weather, their cafe
teria -and other class rooms are
on the opposite side of the high
way in the present location.
The mavor invited the Civic
club to attend council meetings
and take a more active interest
in city government. The invita
tion was accented by Mrs. C. L.
Williams, club president, provid
ing the mayor would see there
is heat In the city hall on meet
ine nlehts and provide seats fo
visitors. It was pointed out the
city hall, built in 1909. is a shell
and in very bad condition, and
will have to be rebuilt or aban
doned soon.
Building Buy Urged
Mrs. Williams suggested the
Miller building be purchased as
a city nan and tne money Irom
its rentals be used to pay for It.
and after it is free of debt the
rents be used on other city ex
penses. Mrs. Floyd Dodge was elected
as substitute vice president un
til tne return or Mrs. u. v.
Chamberlain. Mrs. E. J. Green,
present secretary was elected
treasurer for the remainder of
the fiscal year to fill the vacancy

ter Kasworm. Visitors at the

Freak Accident Hurts
Husband Of Local Girl
Robert Smith. 21. husband of
the former Elsie Bernheisel of
Medford, Ore., was shot four
times by one bullet in a recent
freak accident in Syracuse. Ind..
friends of Mrs. Smith learned
this week.
The freak accident occurred
when Smith and his brother,
Richard, 19, were examining ;
what they thought was an un-.
loaded .45 caliber automatic
pistol. The gun was accidentally j
discharged and the slug ripped ,
into Smith's left wrist. Because
of the position in which he was
sitting, the bullet also tore
through his right forearm, then i
into his right leg and last passed
through his left leg.
Eight holes were left in his j
flesh by the one bullet, but no
bones nor blood vessels were
damaged and he is recovering.
