BIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Posse and Troop Plan Open House Sunday at Grounds Open house, to which the pub lic is invited, will be held Sun day, March 23, by Jackson coun ty Sheriffs Mounted posse, Ladies' Mounted troop, and Jack son County Junior posse. Hours will be from 2 to 5 p. m. and anyone interested in the activi ties of these riding groups is invited to attend.

Leav itt has retired from the park service and they are moving into a home recently purchased on the Old Stage road west of Cen tral Point The high wind of last Friday did some damage here to roofs and doors and some small build ings and picked up light pumice soil which sifted into dwellings, leaving an irksome cleanup job for housewives. Nearly Tialf of the big maple tree on the Nealon ranch, the one the Nealon chil dren grew up under, was torn off during the storm. Lester . James, Sams Valley dairyman, has plans made for construction of a dam and reser voir on his farm to impound 53 acre feet of water to irrigate some 17 acres of farm land.

Mrs. Myers, ill in the house at the time, was informed of the fire by a county truck driver whose name we failed to get who had seen the fire as he drove along the road.
