The Mail Tribune reserves the right to edit all letters -with n view to clarification and conden satlon. Letters submitted for pub llcatlon must not exceed 400 words Wants Lawyer To Leave Town To the Editor: Just finished reading the front page article in tonight's Mail Tribune in which Walter Nunley, someone I never heard of before, states that "Jackson county is be coming a less desirable place in which to live and to raise chil dren, etc." A rather rash remark for one to make who has been here less than two years. I don't know of anything that should keep him here if he feels that way, We have the finest commu nity; in the world in .which to live, the prettiest country, the most equitable climate and the finest people, In fact everything that makes for an ideal place to live and raise children. That is why hundreds of HIGH CLASS people from all over are coming to the Rogue River Valley to make their home. As a young at torney I would say that Walter is starting off on the wrong foot and a change of residence might do him good. E. C. Jerry Jerome i Old Stage Road P.S. I just heard Mr. Nunley over KMED and he stated that the only complaints Mr. Havi land had signed were cases of contributing to the delinquency Of a prostitute. I don't know how this can be done but Mr. Nunley, being an attorney possibly can enlighten me. E.C.J. Toppenish, Wash.-4U.R) Louis Wanger, 70, Spokane, was killed Tuesday night when he was struck by an oil truck near here. ' Dead Jin Sunday Clanifleda m at noon Saturdays. R E D B A R N psr-gL.

Today, farmers are selling more, better products from about the same amount of crop land. Much of the planning that led to this shift was charted 28 years ago on the Oregon State college campus during a statewide conference of farm leaders. A similar economic conference Is scheduled March 27, 28 and 29 at OSO. River and Fire ... With the glow of spring in the old pine days of Michigan and the melting of snows on a thou sand branches of the great lum ber rivers the Saginaw, the Tit tabawassee, the Cass, the Rifle, the Au Sable, the Thunder Bay, the Muskegon, Manistee, the Menominee, the Ontonagon and others the king-jacks of white water pulled on their spiked boots, unlimbered their peaveys and swarmed the rollways. v There at the river side the logs were banked from 20 to 30 feet above the stream, beside it in the case of swift waters like the Au Sable, from bank to bank in slow and small rivers. The drives went down to the hungry saws of the mills at the rivers' mouths, then moved, on again as lumber from the ship ping docks to supply the build ing needs of a growing country. A market demand that rose steadily in terms of per capita lumber consumption until 1905 kept calling for pine in a voice that would not be denied. Curs of the Land What happened on the land after the axmen and sawyers, skidders and drivers passed on to new stands of virgin timber? The answer is , in the one word: Fife. Men still talk and write about the Peshtigo fire, which in the summer of 1871 burned over 1, 300,000 acres and took 1,500 lives. In the same year a Michigan forest fire ravaged 2,000,000 acres but without noted loss of life. Ten years later another Michigan fire blazed through a million acres and killed 138 per sons. In the fall of 1894 a Min nesota fire burned only 160,000 acres but it destroyed the town of Hinckley and left 418 dead. The Cloquet, Minn., fire of 1918 burned 250,000 acres and took 438 lives.

The hun dreds of thousands of fires set by the settlers who came after the lumbermen were seldom im portant enough as news to get more than a column headline. But in 1952 they still form the toughest fact that forest man agement has to face in the Lake States. . ; Jackpine and Popple ... Not lumbering but efforts to clear and farm land that was good for nothing but trees was the basic cause of the destruc tion of the white pine and red pine (Norway) forests of the Lake States to such a wide ex tent. It is true that the lumber man left tops and branches as a hazard on the cutovers, but he also left hosts of unmerchant able pines and seedlings on the land. Had such a zoning law as that of present-day Wisconsin . been in effect in all the Lake States in 1880, the speculators would have been barred from luring "colonists" by the trainload into futile efforts to burn off the stumps and the seed trees and turn the sand plains into farm crop fields and. pasture land, Today farm, fires remain the major problem on the 55,000,000 acres of Lake States lands that are fit for tree growing above all other uses. And added to the farm fire menace is that of the tourist and the recreationlst. And so- many million acres re main jackpine and popple coun try in the Lake States. BIRTHS JONES To .

Resumed Prisoner Negotiations Eyed Panmunjom, Korea (U.R) Truce negotiations on Russia and airfield issues lasted only 20 sec onds Wednesday, but there was a growing belief that recessed prisoner discussions would be re sumed soon and reach a show down. Vice Adm. C. Turner Joy nev ertheless continued" to delay his reply to a Communist proposal to renew discussions on whether war captives shall be permitted to refuse repatriation. It was believed the U, N. Command was polishing what ever decisions It has made In secret during the 12-day recess.
