Cuve Junction Csve Junc
tion's newly-elected mayor, Car
roll Banks, said Wednesday that
he thinks that the present utility
poles along Main st. should be
removed or set beck to property
lines. The pole situation here
differs somewhat from that of
r Ihe average small community
bvause they were left in line of
traffic when the main thorough
fare along highway 199 was
widened 10 feet on either side.
It is claimed the poles, which
carry both electric and "tele
phone wires, are now, and have
been since the town was incor
porated in 1946, a serious traf
fic hazard. The poles are un
marked and unlighted.
: Banks was eltcted mayor
Tuesday by a 51-vote majority
over incumbent Elwood Hussey.
The Illinois precinct, lying
outh and west of Cave Junction
and one of the valley's largest,
is said to be the only political

date a majority of its votes in

Frank Cibbons is precinct com
mitteeman and Ann Messen
ger precinct committeewoman.
Headquarters have been at the
Gibbons market on south high
way 109 and Mrs. Messenger's
home in the same vicinity. Ralph
Messenger. Ann's husband, is
president of the Democratic club
of Illinois Valley.

accurately informed on. election
returns. Interested citizens
milled about all day Wednesday
inquiring of neighbors what
they had received in the way bl
election news.
-Not until the evening papers
arrived Wednesday did we know
who wa leading in Tuesday's
election and it .was- not until

over timber areas has been de
layed because of early fall
snows.
It is estimated that within 48
hours after the area is spread
with wheat containing "10-80",
one of the most lethal poisons
known, the ground is clear of
rodents and seed spotting can
begin. Pine seeds, treated with
rodent and bird repellent, are
placed in the ground at 4-foot
intervals. This method of seed
ing is less costly than planting
trees, and results in more hardy
young growth according to Mat-
toon.
The Forest Service has post
ed the area and advises against
entering it unless absolutely
necessary. Training in this tech
nique of establishing new trees
was given by Bill Stein of the
Cascade-Siskiyou Research cen
ter at Roseburg.
