Street Program Plans
Progress on Schedule
Plans for extension of Eighth
gt., the top priority project in
the 10-year arterial street pro
gram, ani other projects of
the program are progressing on
schedule, according to City Man
ager Robert Duff.
An application for a Public
Utilities commission hearing to
acquire property and rights of
way for a railroad crossing at
Eighth st. was filed last Wednes
day, Duff said.
Duff said he expects the hear
ing to be held in Medford some
time in the near future.
The crossing is one phase of
the $1,656,100 arterial street im-

provement program approved by
Medford voters last November.
Eighth st. will form a one-way
"couplet"' with Main st., from a
junction in the Hawthorne park
area west toward the city limits.
The railroad crossing is one
of two barriers in the way of
the Eighth st. project. Bear creek
is the other.
Proceeding through the public
utilities commissioner's office is
a procedural phase for a grade
crossing right of way at Eighth
st., Duff said. He added, "if the
development of Eighth st. as an
arterial street is to be under
taken this year, the necessary
legal requirements and acquis
tion rights of way must be under
taken within a very short per
iod." .
Last week state highway com
mission crews started engineer
ing studies and surveying opera
tions of the Eighth st. crossing.
Preliminary conferences between
city and railroad officials have
already been held, the city man
ager said.
Other Projects
Other arterial street program
projects scheduled for comple
tion this year are widening Jack
son st. from Bear creek to Genes
see st., extension of Jackson st.
from Barneburg rd. and Sunrise
ave., paving Grape st. between
Melrose and Stewart aves. and
dedication of 10th st. between
Riverside and Central ave.
The arterial street plan also
calls for several other projects,
including extension of 10th st. to
form a one-way couplet with 11th
st. and a Grape-Holly st. couplet.
Arterial street development is
one of three segments of a cap
ital improvement program ap
proved by voters last November.

Seeding of Clouds
Needed Eight Days
To Suppress Hail
Cloud seeding operations in
connection with fhe hail suppres
sion program in this area have
been necessary eight days so far
this month.
Most serious threat of hail
damage to pears occurred on
Thursday, when some hail was'
reported in a few localities. A
complete appraisal of damage
from that storm in isolated cases
is expected to start Monday.

Missing Bear Cub
Found Abandoned
At National Park
An 11-year-old Shady Cove
boy and his pet bear cub, Smok
ey, were reunited Friday after
an unpleasant four-day separa
tion. Jimmy Welch, son of Mr. and
Mrs. O. J. Smart, "adopted"
Smokey in March, after the
mother bear was killed by a
Shady Cove hunter. Smokey was
so young his eyes weren't even
open. Jimmy fed formula to the
cub with a baby bottle and the
two became devoted pals.
Cub Stolen
Last Monday night, Smokey
was stolen by thieves who cut
open his wire cage at the Rain
bow motel, which is operated by
Mr. and Mrs. Smart. Jimmy was
greived at losing his pet, but also
worried about the bear's wel
fare since he was too young to
fend 'for himself in the woods.
A plea for Smokey's safe return,
or at least for his proper care,
was published in last Tuesday's
Mail Tribune.
On Friday morning, Lyn
Williamson, ranger at Crater
Lake National park, noticed a
tiny, black cub apparently aban
doned on the road south of An
nie Spring. He thought at first
it was one of the park bears, but
became curious at the animal's
friendliness. Two hours went by
and no mother bear returned
for the cub. Williamson finally
took him to park headquarters,
where he and other rangers fed
the hungary animal.
Recall Article
Then someone recalled the
Mail Tribune article telling of
Smokey's theft. They thought
there might be some connection
between the missing bear and
their foundling, but would not
give the bear away without pos
itive proof it did not belong in
the park.
The rangers finally called Mr.
and Mrs. Smart, who were eager
to recover the missing cub. The
Smarts and Jimmy drove to park
headquarters Friday night to see
the animal. As soon as Jimmy
entered the room, he recognized
his pet. Smokey recognized ,Jim
my, too, and jumped and cavort
ed around him, just like a pup.
"There was no mistaking it,"
according to Tom Williams, park
superintendent. "The bear was
theirs and they recognized each
other."
RESTRICTIONS LIFTED
Buenos Aires (U.R) The
government said Saturday re
strictions placed on newsprint
trade and consumption during
the Peron dictatorship would be
lifted Jan. 1, 1958.
said as much as a half-inch of
hail was reported Thursday out
side the Medford area. Since the
program is directed at the Med
ford area, it was indicated some
measure of control was effected
last week.
This is the fourth year the
weather research erouo has con
ducted a hail suppression pro
gram here on behalf of the pear
inaustry. une program is finan
ced entirely by the industry
without government aid.
Ground Generators
At the present time, about 45
stationary ground generator
units and two mobile units are
in use. The generators burn sil
ver iodide. They are located in
an area which extends from
Montague, Calif., on the south
to Canyonville, Ore., on the
coast on the west, to Fish lake
on the east.
More generators will be add
ed later in the season as roads
become accessible in the higher
mountains, corporation officials
said.
Local hail suppresion activi
ties date back to 1949, follow'
ing disastrous 1948 hail damage
to fruit. Airplanes were first
used to seed clouds, but later ex
periments and developments in
the field indicated ground gen
erators were more effective. Use
of ground generators in the pro
gram started in 1954.
Rainfall Figures
Rainfall figures compiled in
connection with a study of last
year's operation indicate cloud
seeding has not reduced the vol
ume of rainfall.
Between April 1 and July 31
of 1956, precipitation in Medford
was estimated at 175 per cent
of normal. In the area surround
ing Medford, rainfall was esti
mated at 150 per cent of nor
mal. In the area including Pros
pect, Grants Pass and Klamath
Falls, precipitation totaled 125
per cent of normal, and in the
area including Crater Lake, Till
er, Wonder and Jacksonville, it
was estimated at 100 per cent of
normal.
Government agencies have
shown interest in the local hail
suppression program, and the
Medford Pear Shippers associ
ation has received inquiries con
cerning the project's effective
ness from as far away as Argen
Darrel Britlsan
Helps Raise Funds
Eugene More than $3,000
was raised on the University of
Oregon campus here last week
when Darrel Brittsan, student
body president, climbed a cam
pus tree Monday and said he
would not come down until the
money was raised.
The money is for restoration
of the university Millrace, a
stream flowing through Eugene
and part of the campus.
Brittson, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Orville Brittsan, 1229 Niantic st
Medford, climbed the tree Mon
day morning and said he would
stay there until student contri
butions totaled $3,000. He came
down from the tree about 10:30
p.m. Monday.
An estimated $3,253.08 had
been raised by Tuesday to be
submitted as the student part in
restoring the stream.. The Uni
versity also will contribute. At
one time the stream was used
by students for boating, but in
recent years it has been block
ed by debris and its banks-allowed
to degenerate.
