Siskiyou Couniy Emergency Repairs Near Completion Yreka Siskiyou county road commissioner, Orel E. Lewis, re cently announced that 95 per cent of the emergency repairs have been made on roads and bridges damaged or washed out during the late December floods. He pointed out that emergency repairs do not include reinstate ment to legal road conditions, but it does include recondition ing to the point of permitting one-way traffic and rebuilding bridges to accommodate emer gency light traffic. Portions of emergency work still remains on the old Klamath River road, where more than three miles of road was washed out. Completed work includes the Cummins Bridge across Cot tonwood ' creek north of Horn brook, and the Hornbrook de tour bridge. Funds Allotted State highway district two, which includes Siskiyou and Shasta with five other counties, has been allotted $2,596,650 for rebuilding and replacing flood damaged highwys and bridges. The department of public ,works said the money will come out of statewide fund reserves and that flood repair projects will not be charged against the construction budgets of individ ual counties involved. The department said it was impossible to tell whether flood restoration could be financed out of existing reserve funds or whether it might be necessary at the end of the fiscal year to de fer some highway construction projects in the regular budget. Emergency funds will be used to restore embankments and sur facing, provide drainage riprap, reoair or rebuild bridges and provide for slide removal. :.

The action was taken Tues day by the legislative body of the doctors' organization after a special committee restudied the matter and returned a unani mous report urging the society to reaffirm its support of; the proposal. The report said: Portland's drinking water is deficient in fluorine, that a flu oride content of about one part per million reduces tooth decay in children 50 to 75 per cent; that fluoridation of public water supplies is the most satisfactory and economic means of supply ing the fluorine; and that ex tensive experimentation has shown that the process is safe.

Also these breeders of dangerous drunk automobile drivers should be subjected to very strict police supervision. Surprise visits to roadside bars by highway patrol officers should be made. On these occasions any customer who ap pears inebriated should be pre vented from getting behind the wheel of a car. He should be sent home in a taxi or made to remain at the place until sobered up.

Thursday, February 16, 1958 MTOFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THIRTEEN Porter Asks Ellsworth To Debate Issues of Campaign Eugene Challenges to polit ical debates have been flying thick and fast in Oregon the past week. ... Most' recent one is from Charles O. Porter, Eugene attor ney who is a candidate for the Democratic nomination for con gress. He has challenged Repub lican Incumbent Harris -Ellsworth to debate on the Al Sa- rena mining' controversy, or on partnership power. (In Grants Pass, Frank Street- er, editor of the Courier, editor ially has challenged Sen. Rich ard L. Neuberger to debate on the Al Sarena matter, and Ells worth, Neuberger and Sen. Wayne L.. Morse have given or received other debate chal lenges.) Porter's letter to Ellsworth follows: Dear Mr. Ellswarth: In the past you have not re plied to my letters or other com munications requesting that you debate campaign issues with me or that you put my name on the mailing list for your news letter. I suppose this is standard polit ical procedure and that I should regard such treatment as evi dence of your anxiety with re spect to my candidacy for the seat you now hold. : However, I'd prefer to be on a more friendly basis with my op ponent. I certainly have nothing against you personally and have never campaigned by making personal attacks on you. I' hope you feel the same way about me. All of which leads up to this: If you want to debate "partner ship" at Green Peter or Cougar or any other issue, why not de bate with me? I've asked you to debate many, many times the power issue and others. Forty four per cent of the vote in our 1954 contest was for me. I am again a candidate. And I'll be glad to meet you at your con venience in Albany, Eugene, anywhere in the 4th District. Easter vacation time would suit me fine. I'd also like to debate whether Davis was justified, in terms of procedures and evidence, in granting the 15 disputed Al Sarena patents. Of course the law isn't debatable but his ac tions under. it are How about it? You want to debate. I want to debate. In No vember you'll be running against the Democratic nominee in the 4th District,- not Senator Morse or Senator Neuberger. I await your reply. Sincerely, Charles O. Porter - 4-H Club News Central Point Dairy Club The Central Point Dairy club met at the home of Jim and Rus sell Frink on Feb. 6. There was a good attendance at this meet ing.
