Yreka Council Orders
Drilling of New Well
Yreka The Yreka city coun
cil, which has been plagued this
summer with a serious water
shortage, last week ordered the
immediate drilling of a new well
south of town in an attempt to
improve the supply.
A special council committee,
meanwhile, is continuing to
study long-range plans to im
prove the water situation, with
the possibility of using water
from the Shasta river.
The city's swimming pool was
closed last week because of the
short; supply, and strict irriga
tion restrictions have been in
(Ibrce this summer. The city's
present supply comes from wells.

Match Race
Where did the greatest match

Brooklyn. That was in 1894
when Domino and Henry of
Navarre met at the Gravesend
track in the beautiful borough
across the bridge. The race end
ed in a dead heat. In old Ken
tucky, near Lexington, can be
seen the last resting place of the

Here lies the fleetest runner

known and one of the gamest

Then there was Bill Brennan,
the heavyweight who gave Jack

Woman Pays
What is the origin of the say

Izaak Walton League's View
On Water Resources Given
City, agriculture industry and
recreation are recognized by the
Izaak Walton league of America
as being the most important
users of water, according to pol
icies of the orgainzation as out
lined last week by Col. Paul H.
Weiland of the Jackson county
chapter.
Weiland said Waltonians be
lieve non-consumption -recrea
tional uses of water are suf
ficiently important to be recog
nized by law. Recreation, he
pointed out, is a primary use in
many places in the country.
Preservation is Aim
Waltonians believe preserva
tion,, rather than conservation,
should be sufficient to maintain
scenic uses of water in a nat
ural state. Weiland said "It is
unthinkable that present genera
tions should be permitted to con
vert the nation's waterfalls,
rapids and gorges into pools be
hind dams."
Management of water includes
flood control, irrigation, navi
gation and hydro-electric pow
er, he said, and Waltonians be
lieve flood control polices should
be recognized in four steps. '
They are: 1: contouring, ter
racing, strip cropping and main
tenance of good vegative covers;
2. construction of small ponds,
gully control structures and
highway fill dams; 3. larger
Plumbing Co. Sold;
Name Is Changed
Purchase of the H. E. Hawk
Plumbing company was announc
ed Saturday by three men who
have joined to form Stuart Mech
anical Inc., plumbing and heat
ing. The new firm will operate at
the former Hawk location, at 518
West -Sixth st. The operators are
Harold Kenyon, who has been
owner of the Kenyon Plumbing
company, 511 South Grape St.;
Bruce Stuart, who has been with
the Hawk firm, and Fay Unruh.
Personnel of the new company
will continue to be those em
ployed by the former Hawk and
Kenyon firms, except for H. E.
Hawk, who sold his interest in
the firm. Kenyon said Saturday
that the same services will be
continued, and that the tele
phone number will be the one
listed for . the Hawk company.
Increased Apprentice
Program Is Opened
Washington, D. C. In an
ticipation of an increase of
33 13 per cent in the building
industry during the next 15
years, the Associated General
Contractors of America has
launched a program to increase
the number of apprentices em
ployed by its members.
The U. S. Department of
Labor's Bureau of Apprentice
ship is cooperating in this effort.
AGC officers have expressed
the opinion that a stepped-up ap
prenticeship program is basic
to the continued progress and
prosperity of the construction
industry. The AGC decision to
expand organizational effort on
training was prompted by a gov
ernment prediction of a popula
tion of 200,000,000 by 1970.
Details on the local applica
tion of the stepped up program
may be obtained at Room 301,
U. S. Post Office building, Med
ford, according to Myron D.
Johnston, apprenticeship repre
sentative for the Bureau of Ap
prenticeship. Mite Inspection on
Peach Trees Advised
County Horticultural Agent
Don Berry suggested to peach
orchardists this week end that
they check trees for late build
ups of two-spotted mites.
When infestations get severe,
Berry said, trees are devitalized,
and in extreme cases, lose some
of their foliage. Berry recom

Portlander Indicted
On Charge of Assault

home to investigate a reported
disturbance.
structures to retain surplus wat
er near headwaters; and 4. main
stream dams to control water
unable, to Te controlled in either
of the first three steps.
Least Damage
The league believes that" when
ponds are necessary or desirable
dams should be constructed in
stream valley areas where the
least possible damage to re
sources result.
The league supports reuse of
water, which should be treated
after use to leave it as unim
paired as possible.
Water for irrigation is nec
essary and desirable, the league
believes, but water should not
be taken from streams to the
extent that flow is reduced and
cannot support desirable aquatic
life. The organization believes,
Weiland said, that land should
"not be irrigated which cannot
financially support irrigation.
The league opposes construction
and operation of unnecessary or
undesirable irrigation projects.
Locks and Dams
' Weiland said the league op
poses construction of lock and
dam systems for navigation in
conjunction with power facili
ties, which would result in mea
surable damage to food or rec
reational resources. With the ex
ception of the Great Lakes, the
Ohio and lower Mississippi riv
ers, commerical transportation
on inland waterways would not
be economically feasible with
out locks and dams, Weiland
said.
' He pointed out the league fav
ers water management for
power when it does not impair
or destroy other values, when
it is economically sound and if
there is feasible alternative
source for power.
He sai dthe league takes into
consideration the effect of pro
prosed hydro-electric power de
velopments . before the group
determines it should take in re
gard to the individual develop
ment. The league opposes over-development
of water sourcses and
resources, and Weiland pointed
out that both ground and sur
face water have been over-exploited
in many localities.

August Sky Review
By J. HUGH PRUETT
Astronomer. Extension Division
Oregon Higher Education System
The days are definitely get
ting shorter, yet summer is still
with us. The sky is quite devoid
of the ordinary array of planets.
Mercury, Venus, Mars and Ju
piter have temporarily gone into
hiding as they are now so near
the sun that it is practically im
possible to see them. Only
Saturn remains in the open. By
the time the sky is dark this
yellow, non-twinkling object ap
pears as a bright star only fairly
well up in the southwest.
For the study of the brighter
stars let us observe about an
hour after sunset. Low in the
south, red Antares is flashing
as the heart of the celestial
Scorpion. This star and its con
stellation were discussed in this
column last week. Somewhat
east of Antares a sort of double
dipper joined at the handles
marks Sagittarius, the Archer.
Some call this the Teapot.

West of southwest, blue-white
Spica glitters fairly near the
horizon. Spica is the principal
star in the constellation Virgo,

the Virgin.
High up in the west-southwest,
orange Arcturus is brilliant.
This star is at the base of a kite
shaped figure made up of rather
dim stars. To the left of the top
of this kite, a small half circle
of dim stars outlines Corona
Borealis, the Northers Crown.
High in the northwest, notice
the familiar Big Dipper, the
brighter stars of the Big Bear,
as it slides down toward the
northern horizon. The Dipper
constitutes the hips and tail of
the bear. Fainter stars lower
down outline the rest of the
creature.
Marks Head of Cross
Turning to the eastern half
of the sky, we find blue-white
Vega in the Harp only slightly
east of the zenith, the point di
rectly overhead. Somewhat low
er and more northerly, Deneb
marks the head of the Northern
Cross. This cross, easily outlined,
is now lying on its side with the
foot extending toward the south.
High in the southeast, Altair
in the Eagle is bright. Notethe
two dimmer guard stars, on on
each side of Altair. Somewhat
to the left of these, a diamond
shaped figure of four small stars
marks Delphinus, the Dolphin.
August is the time for the
Perseid meteors. Some may be
seen early in the month, but the
best display comes between the
10th and 14th. The largest counts
can be obtained during tr hour
or two before dawn, yet many
may be seen in the late evening.
At their best 60 or 70 may be
counted in an hour by an ob
server with normal vision if he
is seated in a dark place and
keeps his eyes constantly on the
sky. There will be no moonlight
interference in the evening sky
during the time of maximum. A
half moon will illuminate the
morning sky Aug. 10, but it will
be constantly smaller after that
date.
