Since household furniture in private use is not assessable the cost of furniture included in the cost of the trailer is deducted and the true cash value determined.

THEN IT HAPPENED O'Reilly became a Gentle Sergeant I ALDORAY PHIL CAREY MITSUKO KIMURA DICK YORK Sunday, January 29, 1958 News About Books Froin the Library By MISS HELEN WEBESTER Medford Librarian From Jacksonville, the pio neer gold-mining town in the Rogue River valley, over and through the high mountain range, ;o The Dalles on the Co lumbia is not a short journey even today. In the time of the boy heroes of "Long Rope" go ing by horseback and driving a herd of horses all the way, it was a journey of real dimensions. Eastern Oregon in the 1870's was chock-full of dangers, thrills, and high adventure for the two teen-age pioneers and their In dian friend, when they decided to set up and run their own cat tle ranch. A copy of the book, "Long Rope,?' hes just been given the Medford Public Library by its author, Mrs. Elizabeth Lambert Wood; of Long Beach, Wash. Mrs. Wood knows boys and In dians and the sagebrush country, and she knows horses. Jackson county boys who enjoy stories of pioneer adventure will find "Long Rope" in the Junior de partment of the Medford Public Library, or they may request it through their own community branch library. Another book by Mrs. Wood that is interesting to adults as well as to older boys and girls is "Pete French, Cattle King." This is the story of .the great cattleman who fenced and joined up the rimrock until the noted P-Ranch of eastern Oregon had 140,000 acres. It is a novel with a good background of ranch life with roping, branding, herding, cowboys, Indians, cattle drives, and adventure everywhere. Mrs. Lambert's gift of a copy of "Long Rope" included a belat ed Christmas greeting.

MEDFORD (OREGON) season of the year is not too late for Christmas greetings, perhaps it is not too late for a letter to Santa Claus. We of the Medford Public Library staff, like many of our library patrons, wish that it had been possible for that jolly old gentleman to come down our library chimney and to have been welcomed there by a warm hearth fire. However, in order that the heating system may function properly, it was neces sary to seal the chimney and dis continue the use of the grate for open fires. Many of our readers express regret that the fireplace must remain unused, and we share their feeling. Since a real fire is impossible, perhaps the next best thing would be an electric fire-log, to brighten, if not to warm, the hearth. It seems just possible that some of our readers might have one which they no longer use and would be willing to give the library for the enjoyment of its readers. Then around this fireplace we hope some day to group furni ture of a more comfortable lounge type, the same sort-of furniture that Camp White mem bers" enjoy in their library. We feel, that many people prefer lounging to" read rather than sit ting bolt upright at tables like students. We wonder if some or ganization would like to make this a service project. If adult readers would prefer to have a quiet corner reserved for them on school nights, away from the bustle and activity' of term pa pers, preparation for examina- : I HOTEL m mfliL JUf" MATINEE fVum.
