find it convenient to" have x-rays

Taxing Trailer Homes
Required by New Law
One of the more, recent prob
lems of taxation in Jackson
county is the assessment and
taxing of trailer houses, accord
ing to a report released recent
ly by the county assessor's of
fice. A law passed in 1953 requires
that all trailer houses in the
state on Jan. 1 used primarily
for residential or business pur
poses , must be taxed, even if
registered and licensed.
In the county, the current
mobile home blue book, which
lists trailer values, is used as
a basis for, valuation. 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.
A form for assessment pur
poses is prepared by the county
assessor and mailed to the tax
payer. Field men are made avail
able to locate any trailers and
their owners who have not re
ceived the forms.

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. If this
Kaye Brothers Circus
Schedules Shows Here
Kaye Brothers circus will
give two performances in Med
ford on Feb. 22, under the spon
sorship of the Medford Active
club, the club announced last
week.
The performances will be
given at the Medford High school
at 4 and 8 p.m. and net proceeds
to the club will go for the pur
chase of equipment for the Jack
son County , Disaster Car, ac
cording to Earl Fichtner, club
president.
The same circus has perform
ed here the past two years. Tick
et purchases are being solicited
by telephone under the super
vision of club members, Fichtner
said. Merchants are being asked
to buy blocks of tickets for
youngsters.

Craterian Theatre Bldg.
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
